EX-10.1 EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT



 





Exhibit 10.1




EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED




     This Employment and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”), originally effective as of the 21st
day of July, 2004, is amended and restated this 5 day of December, 2007, to be effective as of
January 1, 2008, by AGCO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Martin Richenhagen
(the “Executive”). This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Employment and Severance
Agreement between the Company and the Executive effective as of the 21st day of July
2004.



WITNESSETH:




     In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and
the Executive do hereby agree as follows:




	 	1.	 	EMPLOYMENT.





               (a) The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to serve the
Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.



               (b) The employment term commenced on July 21, 2004 and shall continue in effect for an initial
three (3) year term. This Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional one (1) year
terms unless: (i) the Company notifies the Executive at least 60 days prior to the expiration of
the current term that this Agreement shall not be renewed, or (ii) the Agreement is terminated
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.




	 	2.	 	POSITION AND DUTIES.





               The Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive of the Company and shall perform
such duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be prescribed by the Company’s board of
directors (the “Board”), provided that such duties and responsibilities are consistent with the
Executive’s position. The Executive shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently and to the
best of his ability such duties and responsibilities and shall devote all of his working time and
efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates.




	 	3.	 	COMPENSATION.





               (a) BASE SALARY. The Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”)
of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 USD), payable in equal semi-monthly installments throughout the
term of such employment subject to Section 5 hereof (except that the first and last semi-monthly
installments may be prorated, if necessary) and subject to applicable tax and payroll deductions.
The Company shall consider increases in the Executive’s Base Salary annually, and any such increase
in salary implemented by the Company shall become the Executive’s Base Salary for purposes of this
Agreement.



               (b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Provided Executive has duly performed his obligations pursuant to
this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Management Incentive
Compensation Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan that is implemented by the Company.



 









 





               (c) EXECUTIVE NONQUALIFIED PENSION PLAN. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive
shall be entitled to participate in the AGCO Corporation Executive Nonqualified Pension Plan
(“SERP”), and the SERP shall be amended to provide for the following:




	 	(1)	 	For the purpose of determining years of
credited service, the Executive shall be guaranteed the first five (5)
years of service. Benefits shall be vested and portable if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, by
the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company by not renewing this
Agreement, even if the Executive’s actual employment is less than five
years.
	 
	 	(2)	 	In the event the Executive elects to terminate
employment with the Company for reasons other than Good Reason, the
benefits of the SERP shall not be portable.





               (d) OTHER BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the employee benefit plans and arrangements which are available to senior executive
officers of the Company, including, without limitation, group health and life insurance, pension
and savings, and the Senior Management Employment Policy.



               (e) FRINGE BENEFITS. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive promptly for all
reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by him in connection with his duties hereunder, upon
submission by the Executive to the Company of such written evidence of such expenses as the Company
may require. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company will provide the Executive with
the use of a vehicle for purposes within the scope of his employment and shall pay, or reimburse
the Executive for, all expenses for fuel, maintenance and insurance in connection with such use of
the automobile. In no event will any such reimbursements or payments under this Subsection 3(e) be
made, if at all, later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year next following the
Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive incurs the expense. The Company further agrees
that the Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation in any year of the term of
employment hereunder, subject to the terms of the Company’s vacation policy.




	 	4.	 	RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.





               (a) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The Executive acknowledges that as an Executive Officer of the Company
(i) he frequently will be exposed to certain “Trade Secrets” and “Confidential Information” of the
Company (as those terms are defined in Subsection 4(b)), (ii) his responsibilities on behalf of the
Company will extend to all geographical areas where the Company is doing business, and (iii) any
competitive activity on his part during the term of his employment and for a reasonable period
thereafter would necessarily involve his use of the Company’s Trade Secrets and Confidential
Information and, therefore, would unfairly threaten the Company’s legitimate business interests,
including its substantial investment in the proprietary aspects of its business and the goodwill
associated with its customer base. Moreover, the Executive acknowledges that, in the event of the
termination of his employment with the Company, he would have sufficient skills to find
alternative, commensurate work in his field of expertise that would not involve a violation of any
of the provisions of this Section 4. Therefore,



2









 




the Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable for the Company to require him to
abide by the covenants set forth in this Section 4. The parties acknowledge and agree that if the
nature of the Executive’s responsibilities for or on behalf of the Company and the geographical
areas in which the Executive must fulfill them materially change, the parties will execute
appropriate amendments to the scope of the covenants in this Section 4.





	 	(b)	 	DEFINITIONS.






               (i) “Business of Company” means designing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing
agricultural equipment.




               (ii) “Material Contact” as used in the non-solicitation provision below means personal
contact or the supervision of the efforts of those who have personal contact with an
existing or potential Customer or Vendor in an effort to further or create a business
relationship between the Company and such existing or potential Customer or Vendor.




               (iii) “Confidential Information” means information about the Company, its Executives,
and Customers which is not generally known outside of the Company, which the Executive
learns of in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company, and which would be
useful to competitors of the Company or potentially harmful to the Company’s reputation.
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: (1) business and employment
policies, marketing methods and the targets of those methods, finances, business plans,
promotional materials and price lists; (2) the terms upon which the Company hires employees
and provides services to its Customers; (3) the nature, origin, composition and development
of the Company’s products and services; and (4) the manner in which the Company provides
products and services to its Customers.




               (iv) “Trade Secrets” means Confidential Information which meets the additional
requirements of the Georgia Trade Secrets Act.




               (v) “Territory” means those countries and areas as more particularly set forth on
Exhibit A attached hereto.



               (c) COVENANT OF CONFIDENTIALITY. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive agrees only
to use and disclose Confidential Information in connection with his duties hereunder and to
otherwise maintain the secrecy of the same. The Executive agrees that for a period of five years
following the cessation of his employment for any reason, he shall not directly or indirectly
divulge or make use of any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of the Company without prior
written consent of the Company. The Executive further agrees that if he is questioned about
information subject to this Agreement by anyone not authorized to receive such information, he will
promptly notify the Chairman of the Board. This Agreement does not limit the remedies available
under common or statutory law, which may impose longer duties of non-disclosure. The Executive
will immediately notify the Chairman of the Board if he receives any subpoenas which could require
the disclosure of Confidential Information, so that the Company may take whatever actions it deems
necessary to protect its interests.



               (d) COVENANT OF NON-COMPETITION. The Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and
for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the



3









 




cessation of his employment for any reason, he will not compete with the Business of Company
by performing services of the same or similar type as those he performed for the Company as an
employee, contractor, consultant, officer, director or agent for any person or entity engaged in
the Business of Company. Likewise, the Executive will not perform activities of the type which in
the ordinary course of business would involve the utilization of Confidential Information or Trade
Secrets protected from disclosure by Section 4 (c) of this Agreement. This paragraph restricts
competition only within the Territory.




               (e) COVENANT OF NON-SOLICITATION. The Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and
for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the cessation of his employment for any reason,
he will not directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any business in competition with
the Business of Company from any of the Customers with whom the Executive had Material Contact
within the last 18 months of his employment with the Company. The Executive further agrees that
for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the cessation of his employment, he will not
directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any Vendors of the Company with whom he had
Material Contact during the last 18 months of his employment with the Company to provide services
to any person or entity which competes with the Business of Company.



               (f) COVENANT OF NON-RECRUITMENT. The Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and
for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the cessation of his employment for any reason,
he will not directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any other employee of the Company
for the purpose of encouraging, enticing, or causing said employee to voluntarily terminate
employment with the Company.



               (g) COVENANT TO RETURN PROPERTY AND INFORMATION. The Executive agrees to return all of the
Company’s property within seven (7) days following the cessation of his employment for any reason.
Such property includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner
in which it is recorded) of all information provided by the Company to the Executive, or which the
Executive has developed or collected in the scope of his employment with the Company, as well as
all Company-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices,
computers, cell phones, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or
papers.



               (h) ASSIGNMENT OF WORK PRODUCT AND INVENTIONS. The Executive hereby assigns and grants to the
Company (and will upon request take any actions needed to formally assign and grant to the Company
and/or obtain patents, trademark registrations or copyrights belonging to the Company) the sole and
exclusive ownership of any and all inventions, information, reports, computer software or programs,
writings, technical information or work product collected or developed by the Executive, alone or
with others, during the term of the Executive’s employment. This duty applies whether or not the
forgoing inventions or information are made or prepared in the course of employment with the
Company, so long as such inventions or information relate to the Business of Company and have been
developed in whole or in part during the term of the Executive’s employment. The Executive agrees
to advise the Company in writing of each invention that Executive, alone or with others, makes or
conceives during the term of Executive’s employment. Inventions which the Executive developed
before the Executive came to work for the Company, if any, are as follows:



4









 





               (i) REMEDIES FOR VIOLATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Executive acknowledges that the
Company would suffer irreparable harm if the Executive fails to comply with the foregoing, and that
the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, injunctive and
other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. The Executive agrees that the pendency of any claim
whatsoever against the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this
Noncompetition Agreement by the Company.



               (j) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of these restrictive
covenants shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in these restrictive covenants shall be
held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, the parties authorize the Court
in which such action is pending to modify said covenants and enforce them to the extent that the
Court deems reasonable.




	 	5.	 	TERMINATION.





               (a) DEATH. This Agreement shall terminate upon the death of the Executive, provided, however,
that for purposes of the payment of Base Salary to the Executive, the death of the Executive shall
be deemed to have occurred ninety (90) days from the last day of the month in which the death of
the Executive shall have occurred.



               (b) DISABILITY. Executive’s employment and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall
terminate upon a finding that the Executive is disabled under the Company’s group long term
disability plan.



               (c) CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause by giving
written Notice of Termination to the Executive. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company
shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder upon: (i) the conviction of
Executive of, or the entry of a plea of guilty, first offender probation before judgment, or nolo
contendere by Executive to, any felony; (ii) fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by Executive;
(iii) Executive’s willful failure or gross negligence in the performance of his assigned duties for
the Company, which failure or negligence continues for more than or was not remedied within thirty
(30) calendar days following Executive’s receipt of written notice of such willful failure or gross
negligence; (iv) Executive’s failure to follow reasonable and lawful directives of the Board or his
breach of his fiduciary duty to the Company, which failure is not remedied within thirty (30)
calendar days following Executive’s receipt of written notice of such failure; (v) any act or
omission of Executive that has a demonstrated and material adverse impact on the Company’s business
or reputation for honesty and fair dealing, other than an act or failure to act by Executive in
good faith and without reason to believe that such act or failure to act would adversely impact on
the Company’s business or reputation for honesty and fair dealing; or (vi) the breach by Executive
of any material term of this Agreement, which breach continues for more than or was not remedied
within thirty (30) calendar days following Executive’s receipt of written notice of such breach.



               (d) WITHOUT CAUSE; GOOD REASON.




               (i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, by
giving written Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 5(e)) to the Executive.



5









 






               (ii) The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder, by giving written Notice of
Termination to the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall have
“Good Reason” to terminate his employment hereunder upon (a) a substantial reduction in the
Executive’s aggregate Base Salary and annual incentive compensation taken as a whole,
excluding any reductions caused by the performance of the Company or the Executive,
including but not limited to, the failure by the Executive to achieve performance targets
established from time to time by the Board and/or under the Long Term Incentive Plan or from
below budget performance by the Company, or (b) the Company’s failure to make payments of
Base Pay and incentive compensation, but only upon notice of such failure given by the
Executive and the subsequent failure of the Company to cure the non-payment within thirty
(30) days of such notice.



               (e) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company pursuant to the Subsections (b),
(c) or (d)(i) above or by the Executive pursuant to Subsection (d)(ii) above, shall be communicated
by written Notice of Termination from the party issuing such notice to the other party hereto. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the
specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination. A date of
termination specified in the Notice of Termination shall not be dated earlier than ninety (90) days
from the date such Notice is delivered or mailed to the applicable party.



               (f) OBLIGATION TO PAY. Except upon termination for Cause, voluntary termination by the
Executive without Good Reason, or termination as a result of death or disability, and further
subject to Sections 6 and 16 below, the Company shall (i) pay the compensation specified in this
Subsection 5(f) to the Executive for the period specified in this Subsection 5(f), (ii) continue to
provide, no less frequently than monthly, life insurance benefits during the remainder of the
applicable period, including the Severance Period set forth in this Subsection 5(f), and (iii) if
and to the extent the Executive timely elects COBRA continuation coverage, pay the Executive on a
monthly basis the cost of COBRA premiums for a period of 18 months or such lesser period as the
Executive continues to have COBRA continuation coverage. If the Executive’s employment shall be
terminated by reason of death, the estate of the Executive shall be paid all Base Salary and
reimbursements otherwise payable to the Executive through the end of the third month after the
month in which the death of the Executive occurred, plus all bonus or other incentive benefits
accrued or accruable to the Executive through the end of the month in which the death of the
Executive occurred, on the same basis as if the Executive had continued employment through such
times, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. If
the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of disability as determined under the Company’s
long term disability plan, the Executive or the person charged with legal responsibility for the
Executive’s estate shall be paid all Base Salary and reimbursements and payments otherwise payable
to the Executive, including the bonus and other benefits accrued or accruable to the Executive, on
the same basis as if the Executive had continued employment through the date of disability, and the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. If the
Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay the Executive his Base
Salary through the date of termination specified in the Notice of Termination and reimbursements
otherwise payable to the Executive and the Company shall have no further obligations to the
Executive under this



6









 







Agreement. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without Cause, by
the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company by not renewing the Agreement following the initial
term or any subsequent term, the Executive shall be paid all Base Salary and reimbursements and
payments otherwise payable to the Executive, including the bonus and other benefits accrued or
accruable to the Executive, through the date of termination specified in the Notice of Termination,
and the Company shall (x) continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary (at the rate in effect on
the date of such termination) for a period of two (2) years from the date of such termination (such
two (2) year period being referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Period”) on the same basis as
if Executive had continued employment during the Severance Period and (y) pay the Executive a pro
rata portion of the bonus or other incentive benefits to which the Executive would have been
entitled for the year of termination had the Executive remained employed for the entire year which
incentive compensation shall be payable at the time incentive compensation is payable generally
under the applicable incentive plans; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments under clauses (x) or (y) of this sentence
upon and after reaching age 65. The Executive shall have no further right to receive any other
compensation, benefits or perquisites after the date of termination of employment except as
determined under the terms of this Agreement or any applicable employee benefit plans or programs
of the Company or under applicable law.



     6. CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SEVERANCE PERIOD; MITIGATION OF DAMAGES



               (a) If during the Severance Period, the Executive breaches his obligations under Section 4
above, the Company may, upon written notice to the Executive, terminate the Severance Period and
cease to make any further payments or provide any benefits described in Subsection 5(f).



               (b) Although the Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in Subsection 5(f) by seeking other employment, any such payments shall be reduced by
any amounts which the Executive receives or is entitled to receive from another employer with
respect to the Severance Period. The Executive shall promptly notify the Company in writing in the
event that other employment is obtained during the Severance Period.



     7. NOTICES. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications to either

     9. NO WAIVER. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless
such waiver, modification or discharge is approved by the Board and agreed to in a writing signed
by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically authorized by the Board. No waiver by
either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provisions or conditions of this Agreement at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time.



     10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and the
Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon his heirs
and executors. Neither this Agreement or any rights or obligations of the Executive herein shall
be transferable or assignable by the Executive.



     11. VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. The parties intend for each of the
covenants contained in Section 4 to be severable from one another.



     12. SURVIVAL. The provisions of Section 4 hereof shall survive the termination of Executive’s
employment and shall be binding upon the Executive’s personal or legal representative, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees and the provisions of
Section 5 hereof relating to payments and termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall
survive such termination and shall be binding upon the Company.



     13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.



     14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the full agreement and understanding of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior or contemporaneous
agreements or understandings are merged herein. The parties to this Agreement each acknowledge
that both of them and their respective agents and advisors were active in the negotiation and
drafting of the terms of this Agreement.



     15. GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and enforcement of this Agreement, and the
determination of the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Georgia.



     16. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN OMNIBUS PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall be provided and paid in a
manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in
connection with a permissible payment event contained in Section 409A (e.g., death or separation
from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the
Code), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code,
to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. For purposes of
this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as rights to receive
a



9









 







series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the
Code. If Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) and any of
the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, then
payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred for six (6) months as
required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”). In the event such
payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral
Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be
accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the
payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred,
any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with
Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and
the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. For purposes of this
Agreement, any termination of employment will be read to mean a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services
would be performed after such date or that the level of bona fide services Executive would perform
after that date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently decrease to
less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of bona fide services performed over the
immediately preceding thirty-six (36)-month period.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.
