                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
                      AGCO CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED
                       LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP III)

         This is the First Amendment of the AGCO Corporation Amended and
Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP III) (the "Plan"). Under Section II(b)
of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee") is authorized to amend the Plan. Accordingly, the Committee hereby
amends the Plan effective as stated below in the following particulars.

                                       1.

         Section VI of the Plan is amended by adding the following to the end of
Section (VI)(d), and such amendment shall be applicable to all unearned
Contingent Awards outstanding under the Plan:

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a participant's election,
         a portion of the value of an increment of a Contingent Award equal to
         an amount that is not greater than the amount necessary to satisfy the
         federal and state income and employment taxes applicable to the Earned
         Shares and the resulting cash payment pursuant to Section VII(a) shall
         be awarded in the form of cash (subject to applicable withholding
         requirements). In the event a participant elects to have a portion of
         the value of an increment of a Contingent Award paid in cash, the
         number of shares of Common Stock which equal the value of such cash
         payment shall be subtracted from the number of Earned Shares and such
         shares of Common Stock shall be treated as forfeited. Notwithstanding
         Section III(c), the forfeited shares of Common Stock under this Section
         shall not be available for re-issuance under the Plan. Fractional
         shares of Common Stock shall be awarded in the form of cash.

                                       2.

         All parts of the Plan not inconsistent herewith are hereby ratified and
confirmed.

         This First Amendment to the Plan is adopted to be effective as of
December 12, 2001, as acknowledged by the undersigned members of the Committee.

                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
                          AGCO CORPORATION NONEMPLOYEE
                          DIRECTOR STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

         This is the First Amendment of the AGCO Corporation Nonemployee
Director Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Under Section IV(b) of the Plan, the
Board of Directors (the "Board") is authorized to amend the Plan. Accordingly,
the Board hereby amends the Plan effective as stated below in the following
particulars.

                                       1.

         Section VI of the Plan is amended by adding the following new Section
(VI)(g), and such amendment shall be applicable to all unearned awards
outstanding under the Plan:

                  (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a nonemployee
         director's election, a portion of the value of an increment of an award
         equal to an amount that is not greater than the amount necessary to
         satisfy the federal and state income and employment taxes applicable to
         the earned shares and the resulting cash payment pursuant to Section
         VII shall be awarded in the form of cash (subject to applicable
         withholding requirements). In the event a nonemployee director elects
         to have a portion of the value of an increment of an award paid in
         cash, the number of shares of Common Stock which equal the value of
         such cash payment shall be subtracted from the number of earned shares
         and such shares of Common Stock shall be treated as forfeited.
         Notwithstanding Section III(c), the forfeited shares of Common Stock
         under this Section shall not be available for re-issuance under the
         Plan. Fractional shares of Common Stock shall be awarded in the form of
         cash.

                                       2.

         All parts of the Plan not inconsistent herewith are hereby ratified and
confirmed.

                       EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         This Employment and Severance Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into
this 18th day of October, 2000, by and between AGCO CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Donald R. Millard (the "Executive"),

                                   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 on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

                  (b)      The employment term shall commence on October 18,
2000 and shall continue in effect until terminated in accordance with Section 5
or any other provision of the Agreement.

         2.       POSITION AND DUTIES.

                  The Executive shall serve as an Executive Officer 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/her ability such duties and responsibilities and shall devote
all of his/her 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 Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($350,000.00), payable in equal semi-monthly installments throughout the
term of such employment subject to Section 5 hereof 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/her obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be
entitled to participate in or receive benefits under the Management Incentive
Compensation Plan implemented by the Company.
<PAGE>

                  (c)      OTHER BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement,
the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the long term incentive plan
implemented by the Company and any 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.

                  (d)      FRINGE BENEFITS. The Company shall pay or reimburse
Executive for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by him/her in
connection with his/her duties hereunder, upon submission by Executive to the
Company of such written evidence of such expense as the Company may require.
Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with
the use of a vehicle for purposes within the scope of his/her employment and
shall pay all expenses for fuel, maintenance and insurance in connection with
such use of the automobile. The Company further agrees that Executive shall be
entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation in any year of the term of employment
hereunder. Nothing paid to the Executive under any such Company plans or
arrangements shall be deemed to be in lieu of compensation to the Executive
hereunder.

         4.       NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION
                  COVENANTS.

                  (a)      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The Executive acknowledges that as
an Executive Officer of the Company (i) he/she 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/her 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/her part during the term of
his employment and for a reasonable period thereafter would necessarily involve
his/her 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/her employment with
the Company, he/she would have sufficient skills to find alternative,
commensurate work in his/her field of expertise that would not involve a
violation of any of the provisions of this Section 4. Therefore, the Executive
acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable for the Company to require him/her
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. For purposes of this Section 4, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

                           (i)      "COMPETITIVE POSITION" shall mean (i) the
Executive's direct or indirect equity ownership (excluding equity ownership of
less than one percent (1%) or control

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>

of all or any portion of a Competitor, or (ii) any employment, consulting,
partnership, advisory, directorship, agency, promotional or independent
contractor arrangement between the Executive and any Competitor whereby the
Executive is required to perform executive level services substantially similar
to those that he will perform for the Company as an Executive Officer.

                           (ii)     "COMPETITOR" of the Company shall refer to
any person or entity engaged, wholly or partly, in the business of manufacturing
and distributing farm equipment machinery and replacement parts.

                           (iii)    "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean the
proprietary and confidential data or information of the Company, other than
"Trade Secrets" (as defined below), which is of tangible or intangible value to
the Company and is not public information or is not generally known or available
to the Company's competitors.

                           (iv)     "TRADE SECRETS" shall mean information of
the Company, including, but not limited to, technical or non-technical data,
formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques,
drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, products plans, or lists
of actual or potential customers or suppliers, which: (a) derives economic
value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being
readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic
value from its disclosure or use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are
reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

                           (v)      "WORK PRODUCT" shall mean all work product,
property, data, documentation, "know-how", concepts or plans, inventions,
improvements, techniques, processes or information of any kind, relating to the
Company and its business prepared, conceived, discovered, developed or created
by the Executive for the Company or any of the Company's customers.

                  (c)      NONDISCLOSURE; OWNERSHIP OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY.

                           (i)      The Executive hereby covenants and agrees
that: (i) with regard to information constituting a Trade Secret, at all times
during the Executive's employment with the Company and all times thereafter
during which such information continues to constitute a Trade Secret; and (ii)
with regard to any Confidential Information, at all times during the Executive's
employment with the Company and for three (3) years after the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall regard and treat
all information constituting a Trade Secret or Confidential Information as
strictly confidential and wholly owned by the Company and will not, for any
reason in any fashion, either directly or indirectly, use, sell, lend, lease,
distribute, license, give, transfer, assign, show, disclose, disseminate,
reproduce, copy, appropriate or otherwise communicate any such information to
any party for any purpose other than strictly in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement and other than as may be required by law.

                           (ii)     To the greatest extent possible, any Work
Product shall be deemed to be "work made for hire" (as defined in the Copyright
Act, 17 U.S.C.A. ss. 101 et seq., as

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>

amended) and owned exclusively by the Company. The Executive hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company all rights,
title and interest the Executive may currently have or in the future may have by
operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product, including, without
limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and other
intellectual property rights. The Executive agrees to execute and deliver to the
Company any transfers, assignments, documents or other instruments which the
Company may deem necessary or appropriate to vest complete title and ownership
of any Work Product, and all rights therein, exclusively in the Company.

                           (iii)    The Executive shall immediately notify the
Company of any intended or unintended, unauthorized disclosure or use of any
Trade Secrets or Confidential Information by the Executive or any other person
of which the Executive becomes aware. In addition to complying with the
provisions of Section 4(c) (i) and 4 (c) (ii), the Executive shall exercise his
best efforts to assist the Company, to the extent the Company deems reasonably
necessary, in the procurement of any protection of the Company's rights to or in
any of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information.

                           (iv)     Immediately upon termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, or at any point prior to or after that
time upon the specific request of the Company, the Executive shall return to the
Company all written or descriptive materials of any kind in the Executive's
possession or to which the Executive has access that constitute or contain any
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, and the confidentiality obligations
of this Agreement shall continue until their expiration under the terms of this
Agreement.

                  (d)      NON-COMPETITION. The Executive agrees that during
his/her employment, he/she will not, either directly or indirectly, alone or in
conjunction with any other party, (i) accept or enter into a Competitive
Position with a Competitor of the Company, or (ii) take any action in
furtherance of or in conjunction with a Competitive Position with a Competitor
of the Company. The Executive agrees that for two (2) years after any
termination of his employment with the Company, he/she will not, in the
"Restricted Territory" (as defined in the next sentence), either directly or
indirectly, alone or in conjunction with any other party, (A) accept or enter
into a Competitive Position with a Competitor of the Company, or (B) take any
action in furtherance of or in conjunction with a Competitive Position with a
Competitor of the Company. For purposes of this Section 4, "Restricted
Territory" shall refer to all geographical areas comprised within the fifty
United States of America, Western Europe, Brazil and Canada. The Executive and
the Company each acknowledge that the scope of the Restricted Territory is
reasonable because (1) the Company is conducting substantial business in all
fifty states (as well as several foreign countries), (2) the Executive occupies
one of the top executive positions with the Company, and (3) the Executive will
be carrying out his employment responsibilities in all locations where the
Company is doing business.

                  (e)      NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. The Executive agrees
that during the term of his/her employment, he/she will not, either directly or
indirectly, along or in conjunction with any other party, solicit, divert or
appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate any customer or
actively sought prospective customer of the Company for or on

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

behalf of any Competitor of the Company. The Executive agrees that for two (2)
years after any termination of his employment with the Company, he/she will not,
in the Restricted Territory, either directly or indirectly, alone or in
conjunction with any other party, for or on behalf of a Competitor of the
Company, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or
appropriate any customer or actively sought prospective customer of the Company
with whom he had substantial contact during a period of time of up to, but no
longer than, eighteen (18) months prior to any termination of his/her employment
with the Company.

                  (f)      NON-SOLICITATION OF COMPANY PERSONNEL. The Executive
agrees that, except to the extent that he/she is required to do so in connection
with his/her express employment responsibilities on behalf of the Company,
during the term of his/her employment he/she will not, either directly or
indirectly, alone or in conjunction with any other party, solicit or attempt to
solicit any employee, consultant, contractor or other personnel of the Company
to terminate, alter or lessen that party's affiliation with the Company or to
violate the terms of any agreement or understanding between such employee,
consultant, contractor or other person and the Company. The Executive agrees
that for two (2) years after any termination of his/her employment with the
Company, and in the Restricted Territory, he/she will not, either directly or
indirectly, alone or in conjunction with any other party, solicit or attempt to
solicit any "material" or "key" (as those terms are defined in the next
sentence) employee, consultant, contractor or other personnel of the Company to
terminate, alter or lessen that party's affiliation with the Company or to
violate the terms of any agreement or understanding between such employee,
consultant, contractor or other person and the Company. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, "material" or "key" employees, consultants, contractors or
other personnel of the Company are those who have access to the Company's Trade
Secrets and Confidential Information and whose position or affiliation with the
Company is significant.

                  (g)      REMEDIES. Executive agrees that damages at law for
the Executive's violation of any of the covenants in this Section 4 would not be
an adequate or proper remedy and that should the Executive violate or threaten
to violate any of the provisions of such covenants, the Company or its
successors or assigns shall be entitled to obtain a temporary or permanent
injunction against Executive in any court having jurisdiction prohibiting any
further violation of any such covenants, in addition to any award or damages,
compensatory, exemplary or otherwise, for such violation, if any.

                  (h)      PARTIAL ENFORCEMENT. The Company has attempted to
limit the rights of the Executive to compete only to the extent necessary to
protect the Company from unfair competition. The Company, however, agrees that,
if the scope of enforceability of these restrictive covenants is in any way
disputed at any time, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the
covenant to the extent that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances
existing at the time.

         5.       TERMINATION.

                  (a)      DEATH. The Executive's employment hereunder shall
terminate upon the death of the Executive, provided, however, that for purposes
of the payment of compensation and

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>

benefits to the Executive under this Agreement 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)      INCAPACITY. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder at the end of any calendar month by giving written Notice
of Termination to the Executive in the event of the Executive's incapacity due
to physical or mental illness which prevents the proper performance of the
duties of the Executive set forth herein or established pursuant hereto for a
substantial portion of any six (6) month period of the Executive's term of
employment hereunder. Any question as to the existence, extent or potentiality
of illness or incapacity of Executive upon which Company and Executive cannot
agree shall be determined by a qualified independent physician selected by the
Company and approved by Executive (or, if Executive is unable to give such
approval, by any adult member of the immediate family or the duly appointed
guardian of the Executive). The determination of such physician shall be
certified in writing to the Company and to the Executive and shall be final and
conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

                  (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 Executive's
habitual drunkenness or chronic substance abuse; (ii) a willful failure by the
Executive to materially perform and discharge the duties and responsibilities of
the Executive hereunder; (iii) any breach by the Executive of the provisions of
Section 4 hereof; (iv) any misconduct by the Executive that is materially
injurious to the Company; or (v) a conviction of a felony involving the personal
dishonesty or moral turpitude of the Executive.

                  (d)      WITHOUT CAUSE; GOOD REASON.

                  (i)      The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
hereunder without Cause, by giving written Notice of termination to the
Executive.

                  (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 (and without the written consent of the Executive) (a) a
reduction in the Executive's base salary or benefits received from the Company,
other than in connection with an across-the-board reduction in salaries and/or
benefits for similarly situated employees of the Company or pursuant to the
Company's standard retirement policy; or (b) the relocation of the Executive's
full-time office to a location greater than fifty (50) miles from the Company's
current corporate office; or (c) a material breach by the Company of this
Agreement.

                  (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

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

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 voluntary termination
by the Executive without Good Reason and subject to Section 6 below, the Company
shall pay the compensation specified in this Subsection 5(f) to the Executive
for the period specified in this Subsection 5(f). The Company also will continue
insurance benefits during the remainder of the applicable period, including the
Severance Period set forth in this Subsection 5(f). If the Executive's
employment shall be terminated by reason of death, the estate of the Executive
shall be paid all sums otherwise payable to the Executive through the end of the
third month after the month in which the death of the Executive occurred and 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 and the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.
If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of incapacity, the
Executive or the person charged with legal responsibility for the Executive's
estate shall be paid all sums 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
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 the Company shall have no further obligations to the
Executive under this Agreement. If the Executive's employment shall be
terminated by the Company, without cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason,
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
beginning as of the date of such termination (such two (2) year period being
referred to hereinafter as the "Severance Period") at such intervals as the same
would have been paid had the Executive remained in the active service of the
Company, 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. 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
the 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
