	The European Investment Bank, having its seat at 98-100 blvd Konrad Adenauer, Luxembourg L-2950, Luxembourg, represented by Ms Elina Kamenitzer, Head of Division, and Ms Wiebke Jardet, Head of Division,
	(the ‘‘Bank’’)

	AGCO International Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands having its registered office at Horsterweg 66a, 5971NG Grubbenvorst, The Netherlands and registered with the trade register of the commercial register of the Chamber of Commerce in The Netherlands under number 12067080, represented by Mr Paul Huijsmans, Authorized Representative, and Mr Gary Rollinson, Authorized Representative,
	(the ‘‘Borrower’’)

  of the second part.

WHEREAS:
		
	(1)
	AGCO Corporation, a company organised under the laws of Delaware, United States of America (the “Guarantor”), has stated that its group is undertaking an investment programme in Germany, Finland and France concerning the research and development related to agricultural tractors and engines in the period 2015-2018 (the “Project”), as more particularly described in the technical description set out in Schedule A (the “Technical Description”).

		
	(2)
	The Guarantor holds, indirectly through Massey Ferguson Corp., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States of America, 100% (one hundred per cent) of the Borrower’s issued share capital and voting rights.

		
	(3)
	The total cost of the Project, as estimated by the Bank, is approximately EUR 408,900,000 (four hundred and eight million and nine hundred thousand euros), to be partly financed by the Guarantor’s own funds and other external funds available to the group. 

		
	(4)
	In order to fulfil the financing plan described in Recital (3), the Borrower has requested from the Bank a credit equivalent to EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) for the financing of the Project.

		
	(5)
	The financial obligations of the Borrower under this finance contract (the “Contract”) are to be guaranteed by the Guarantor under a guarantee and indemnity (the “Guarantee”) by execution of a deed of guarantee and indemnity and project implementation agreement in the form attached to this Contract as Schedule D (the “Guarantee Agreement”).

		
	(6)
	The Guarantor shall comply with the provisions of the Guarantee Agreement at all times.

		
	(7)
	The Guarantor’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As of the date of this Contract, the Guarantor has issued around 90 million shares. 

		
	(8)
	The Bank, considering that the financing of the Project falls within the scope of its functions, and having regard to the statements and facts cited in these Recitals, has decided to give effect to the Borrower’s request providing to it a credit in an amount equivalent to EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) under this Contract; provided that the amount of the Bank’s loan shall not, in any case, exceed 50% (fifty per cent) of the total cost of the Project set out in Recital (3).

		
	(9)
	The board of managing directors and the sole shareholder of the Borrower have authorised the borrowing of the sum equivalent to EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) represented by this credit on the terms and conditions set out in this Contract; copies of such authorisations are set out in Annex I. It has been duly certified to the Bank by the Borrower that such borrowing is within the corporate powers of the Borrower.

		
	(10)
	The Statute of the Bank provides that the Bank shall ensure that its funds are used as rationally as possible in the interests of the European Union. Accordingly, the terms and conditions of the Bank's loan operations must be consistent with relevant EU policies.

		
	(11)
	The Bank considers that access to information plays an essential role in the reduction of environmental and social risks, including human rights violations, linked to the projects it finances. The Bank has therefore established its transparency policy, the purpose of which is to enhance the accountability of the Bank’s group towards its stakeholders and the EU citizens in general, by giving access to information that will enable them to understand its governance, strategy, policies, activities and practices.

		
	(12)
	The processing of personal data shall be carried out by the Bank in accordance with applicable European Union legislation on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the EU institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data.

		
	(13)
	Under current law, the Bank is exempt from withholding under FATCA pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement entered into between Luxembourg and the United States on 28 March 2014 implementing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions of the U.S. Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010.

ARTICLE 3 
Interest

3.01    Rate of interest
For the purposes of this Contract, and for as long as none of the events under (1) or (2) below has occurred and is continuing, “Margin” means 58 basis points (0.58%); provided, however, if the Guarantor’s long term debt credit rating from Moody’s falls to (1) Ba1, the Margin shall be 83 basis points (0.83%) or (2) Ba2 or below, the Margin shall be 141 basis points (1.41%).
The Margin shall be effective as of the first Payment Date following the downgrade by Moody’s following which either (1) or (2) above become applicable.
For the purposes of determining the Margin hereunder, (i) if the rating system of Moody’s shall change, or if Moody’s shall cease to be in the business of issuing long term debt credit rating or shall not have in effect a rating for the Guarantor, the Borrower and the Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of Margin contained in this Contract to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of a rating from Moody’s.

20

3.01A    Fixed Rate Tranches
The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding balance of each Fixed Rate Tranche at the Fixed Rate quarterly, semi-annually or annually in arrears on the relevant Payment Dates as specified in the Disbursement Notice, commencing on the first such Payment Date following the Disbursement Date of the Tranche.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of Article 5.01(a).

If pursuant to Articles 1.05 and 1.06 disbursement of any Floating Rate Tranche takes place after the Scheduled Disbursement Date the Relevant Interbank Rate applicable to the first Floating Rate Reference Period shall apply as though the disbursement had been made on the Scheduled Disbursement Date.
Interest shall be calculated in respect of each Floating Rate Reference Period on the basis of Article 5.01(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Floating Rate for any Floating Rate Reference Period is below zero, it will be set at zero.
3.02    Interest on overdue sums
Without prejudice to Article 10 and by way of exception to Article 3.01, if the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Contract on its due date, interest shall accrue on any overdue sum payable under the terms of this Contract from the due date to the date of actual payment at an annual rate equal to:

If the overdue sum is in a currency other than the currency of the Loan, the following rate per annum shall apply, namely the relevant interbank rate that is generally retained by the Bank for transactions in that currency plus 2% (200 basis points), calculated in accordance with the market practice for such rate.
3.03    Market Disruption Event
If at any time (i) from the issuance by the Bank of the Disbursement Notice in respect of a Tranche, and (ii) until the date falling 30 (thirty) calendar days prior to the Scheduled Disbursement Date, a Market Disruption Event occurs, the Bank may notify the Borrower that this clause has come into effect. In such case, the following rules shall apply.

21

The rate of interest applicable to such Notified Tranche until the Maturity Date shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:
		
	(a) 
	the Margin and

		
	(b)
	the rate (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) which is determined by the Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank for the funding of the relevant Tranche based upon the then applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method reasonably determined by the Bank. 

The Borrower shall have the right to refuse in writing such disbursement prior to the deadline specified in the notice and shall bear charges incurred as a result, if any, in which case the Bank shall not effect the disbursement and the corresponding Credit shall remain available for disbursement under Article 1.02B.

The Borrower shall procure that the core business of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as a whole shall continue to be the manufacture, sale and financing of goods and services in the agricultural industry, together with any business substantially related, ancillary or incidental thereto.
6.05    Mergers
The Borrower shall promptly inform the Bank upon occurrence of any amalgamation, demerger, merger or corporate reconstruction entered into by the Guarantor, the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than (a) a solvent reconstruction, amalgamation, reorganisation, merger or consolidation between the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower) provided that the Guarantor is the surviving entity or (b) a solvent reconstruction, amalgamation, reorganisation, merger or consolidation between Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower unless the Borrower is the surviving entity) of the Guarantor (a “Merger Event”).
Upon receipt of such information, or if the Bank has reasonable cause to believe that a Merger Event has occurred or is about to occur, the Bank may demand that the Borrower consult with it. Such consultation shall take place within 30 (thirty) days from the date of the Bank’s request. 
If, after the lapse of 30 (thirty) days from the date of such a demand, the Bank is of the opinion that:
		
	(i)
	the Merger Event results or will result in an “unacceptable credit concentration” for the Bank;

		
	(ii)
	the obligations under this Contract and/or under the Guarantee Agreement would, as a result of such Merger Event, not remain with the Borrower and the Guarantor, respectively, but would instead be transferred (by law, agreement or otherwise) to another entity; 

		
	(iii)
	the Merger Event has or will have a material adverse effect on the validity, legality or enforceability of the Borrower’s obligations under this Contract or the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee Agreement; or

		
	(iv)
	the statutory seat of the Borrower would, as a result of such Merger Event, be transferred outside the European Union and/or the Guarantor would cease to be organised under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, 

then the Bank may, unless it has given its prior written consent to such Merger Event on terms previously approved by it in writing, cancel the undisbursed portion of the Credit and/or demand that the Borrower prepays the Loan together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued and outstanding under this Contract.
The Borrower shall effect payment of the amount demanded on the date specified by the Bank, such date being a date falling not less than 30 (thirty) days from the date of the demand.

28

For the purposes of this Contract, “unacceptable credit concentration” means: total financing provided by the Bank to the consolidated entity exceeds 15% of equity of such consolidated entity, as calculated on a pro forma basis for the participating entities before a Merger Event has occurred.

6.06C    Restricted Payments
The Borrower shall not, and shall procure that neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly declare or make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment, after giving effect thereto, there shall exist an Event of Default; provided that (a) any Subsidiary of the Guarantor may make Restricted Payments to the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor and (b) to the extent any Subsidiary of the Guarantor is treated for tax purposes as a limited liability company, partnership or other “pass-through” entity, such Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments required by the terms of its governing documents to be made during such period to the owners of Equity Interests in such Subsidiary to pay the tax liability of such Persons as a result of their ownership of Equity Interests in such Subsidiary for such period. 
6.06D    Indebtedness

29

		
	(f)
	Indebtedness under any Capitalized Leases in existence as of the date of this Contract; and

		
	(g)
	Indebtedness incurred after the date of this Contract so long as (i) no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the Borrower and/or the Guarantor (as applicable) determines after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness that it is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article 6.06A of this Contract and/or Article 5.14 of the Guarantee Agreement (as applicable), and (iii) such Indebtedness shall be unsecured except to the extent it is secured by a Permitted Lien. In the event any Indebtedness subject to this clause (g) is a revolving line of credit, the pro forma compliance shall be calculated based upon the maximum facility amount of such revolving credit facility, assuming it is fully drawn, in which case such pro forma compliance shall be satisfied for all future borrowings thereunder up to the amount of such maximum facility amount.

6.06E    Restrictions on Subsidiaries
The Borrower shall not (and shall procure that the Guarantor shall not permit any Subsidiary to) enter into, incur or permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement that prohibits, restricts or limits

ARTICLE 7
Security 

The undertakings in this Article 7 remain in force from the date of this Contract for so long as any amount is outstanding under this Contract or the Credit is in force.
7.01    Guarantee
The obligations of the Bank under this Contract are conditional upon the prior due execution and delivery to the Bank of the Guarantee Agreement in the form set out in Schedule D, whereby the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due performance of the Borrower's financial obligations under this Contract. 
The Borrower hereby acknowledges and consents to the terms of the Guarantee Agreement.

32

7.02    Negative pledge
		
	(a)
	The Borrower shall not, and shall ensure that neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary will, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its properties of any character, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

		
	(b)
	The Borrower shall, and shall ensure that the Guarantor and any Subsidiary will, request the prior written consent of the Bank to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien other than a Permitted Lien on or with respect to any of its properties of any character, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The consent of the Bank shall not be unreasonably refused or delayed on the condition that the obligations of the Borrower under this Contract are secured equally and rateably prior to such Lien being provided to any third party lender.

7.03    Pari passu ranking
The Borrower shall ensure that its payment obligations under this Contract rank, and will continue to rank, not less than pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations under any of its debt instruments and with all present and future claims of its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally.
7.04    MFL
If, for as long as any amount of the Loan remains outstanding, the Borrower or any other member of the Group enters into any loan, bond or other form of financial indebtedness, or any obligation for the payment or repayment of money, in a principal amount exceeding EUR 100,000,000 (one hundred million euros), or the equivalent thereof in any other currency, which contains (i) rating clauses (including, but not limited to, a loss-of-rating clause), (ii) financial covenants clauses pursuant to which compliance with certain financial figures or ratios is required, (iii) material adverse change/effect (or equivalent) is included as an event of default, (iv) limitation on Subsidiary indebtedness clauses, (v) negative pledge clauses, (vi) asset disposal clauses, (vii) cross default clauses or (viii) provision of co-borrowership/upstream guarantees by any operating Subsidiary of the Guarantor for any indebtedness of the Guarantor (each such clause or undertaking, as the case may be, hereinafter referred to as a “More Favourable Clause”) which is either: 
		
	(a)
	not included in this Contract,

		
	(b)
	is stricter than the relevant provisions of this Contract, or

		
	(c)
	is otherwise more favourable for third party creditors than the relevant provisions of this Contract,

the Borrower shall inform the Bank without delay and in any case within 10 (ten) Business Days following the conclusion or amendment of such contractual arrangement in writing and provide the text of such More Favourable Clause to the Bank. Such More Favourable Clause will be deemed to be incorporated into this Contract by reference, with effect as of the day when such More Favourable Clause became effective under the relevant contract (any such More Favourable Clause so adopted by reference into this Contract, an “Adopted Clause”). Such Adopted Clause shall not be amended, cancelled, or withdrawn without the prior written consent of the Bank, and the Borrower shall upon the request of the Bank conclude an amendment to this Contract which incorporates the relevant Adopted Clause.

33

In the event a More Favourable Clause becomes an Adopted Clause under this Contract and, thereafter, such More Favourable Clause is either removed or amended to be less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor or is otherwise less favorable to the third party creditors than such More Favorable Clause had previously been (a “Relaxed More Favourable Clause”), then, upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Bank together with the delivery of the text of such Relaxed More Favourable Clause to the Bank, (x) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clause (a) above, such Adopted Clause shall automatically cease to be effective under this Contract, (y) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clauses (b) or (c) above, such Adopted Clause shall automatically be deemed amended to conform to such Relaxed More Favorable Clause; provided, however, that the relevant provisions of this Contract shall not be deemed to be amended pursuant to this clause (y) to the extent that any such amendment would render such provision less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor than such provision would have been had such original Adopted Clause never been adopted (by reference or otherwise) into this Contract. The Bank shall, upon the request of the Borrower, conclude an amendment to this Contract which deletes or amends, as the case may be, the relevant Adopted Clause.
This Article 7.04 shall not apply to:
		
	(i)
	any financial indebtedness incurred (x) from banks (other than multilateral development banks/IFIs) or (y) in form of bonds issued by any member of the Group, in each case in non-OECD countries by any member of the Group located and incorporated in a non-OECD country; and

		
	(ii)

	to the extent permitted by law, any material litigation, arbitration, administrative proceedings or investigation carried out by a court, administration or similar public authority, which, to the best of its knowledge and belief, is current, imminent or pending against the Borrower or any of its controlling entities or any member of the Borrower’s board of managing directors in connection with a Criminal Offence related to the Loan or the Project.

Definitions of EURIBOR and LIBOR

A.    EURIBOR
“EURIBOR” means:
		
	(a)
	in respect of a relevant period of less than one month, the Screen Rate (as defined below) for a term of one month; 

		
	(b)
	in respect of a relevant period of one or more months for which a Screen Rate is available, the applicable Screen Rate for a term for the corresponding number of months; and

		
	(c)
	in respect of a relevant period of more than one month for which a Screen Rate is not available, the rate resulting from a linear interpolation by reference to two Screen Rates, one of which is applicable for a period next shorter and the other for a period next longer than the length of the relevant period,

(the period for which the rate is taken or from which the rates are interpolated being the “Representative Period”).
For the purposes of paragraphs (b) and (c) above, “available” means the rates, for given maturities, that are calculated and published by Global Rate Set Systems Ltd (GRSS), or such other service provider selected by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI), under the sponsorship of EMMI and EURIBOR ACI, or any successor to that function of EMMI and EURIBOR ACI as determined by the Bank. 
“Screen Rate” means the rate of interest for deposits in EUR for the relevant period as published at 11h00, Brussels time, or at a later time acceptable to the Bank on the day (the “Reset Date”) which falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days prior to the first day of the relevant period, on Reuters page EURIBOR 01 or its successor page or, failing which, by any other means of publication chosen for this purpose by the Bank.
If such Screen Rate is not so published, the Bank shall request the principal euro-zone offices of four major banks in the euro-zone, selected by the Bank, to quote the rate at which EUR deposits in a comparable amount are offered by each of them as at approximately 11h00, Brussels time, on the Reset Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market for a period equal to the Representative Period. If at least 2 (two) quotations are provided, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.
If fewer than 2 (two) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in the euro-zone, selected by the Bank, at approximately 11h00, Brussels time, on the day which falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days after the Reset Date, for loans in EUR in a comparable amount to leading European Banks for a period equal to the Representative Period.
If the rate resulting from the above is below zero, EURIBOR will be deemed to be zero.
If no rate is available as provided above, EURIBOR shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) which is determined by the Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank for the funding of the relevant Tranche based upon the then applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method reasonably determined by the Bank.
B.    LIBOR USD
“LIBOR” means, in respect of USD:
		
	(a)
	in respect of a relevant period of less than one month, the Screen Rate for a term of one month;

		
	(b)
	in respect of a relevant period of one or more months for which a Screen Rate is available, the applicable Screen Rate for a term for the corresponding number of months; and

47

		
	(c)
	in respect of a relevant period of more than one month for which a Screen Rate is not available, the rate resulting from a linear interpolation by reference to two Screen Rates, one of which is applicable for a period next shorter and the other for a period next longer than the length of the relevant period,

(the period for which the rate is taken or from which the rates are interpolated being the “Representative Period”).
For the purposes of paragraphs (b) and (c) above, “available” means “calculated and published” under the aegis of the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor to that function of the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as determined by the Bank) for given maturities.
“Screen Rate” means the rate of interest for deposits in USD for the relevant period as set by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor to that function of the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as determined by the Bank) and released by financial news providers at 11h00, London time, or at a later time acceptable to the Bank on the day (the “Reset Date”) which falls 2 (two) London Business Days prior to the first day of the relevant period.
If such Screen Rate is not so released by any financial news provider acceptable to the Bank, the Bank shall request the principal London offices of 4 (four) major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Bank to quote the rate at which USD deposits in a comparable amount are offered by each of them at approximately 11h00, London time, on the Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to the Representative Period. If at least 2 (two) such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.
If fewer than 2 (two) quotations are provided as requested, the Bank shall request the principal New York City offices of 4 (four) major banks in the New York City interbank market, selected by the Bank, to quote the rate at which USD deposits in a comparable amount are offered by each of them at approximately 11h00, New York City time, on the day falling 2 (two) New York Business Days after the Reset Date, to prime banks in the European market for a period equal to the Representative Period. If at least 2 (two) such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.
If the rate resulting from the above is below zero, LIBOR will be deemed to be zero.
If no rate is available as provided above, LIBOR shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) which is determined by the Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank for the funding of the relevant Tranche based upon the then applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method reasonably determined by the Bank.
C.    General
For the purposes of the foregoing definitions: 
		
	(a)
	“London Business Day” means a day on which banks are open for normal business in London and “New York Business Day” means a day on which banks are open for normal business in New York.

		
	(b)
	All percentages resulting from any calculations referred to in this Schedule will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with halves being rounded up.

		
	(c)
	The Bank shall inform the Borrower without delay of the quotations received by the Bank.

		
	(d)
	If any of the foregoing provisions becomes inconsistent with provisions adopted under the aegis of EMMI and EURIBOR ACI (or any successor to that function of EMMI and EURIBOR ACI as determined by the Bank) or of the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor to that function of the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as determined by the Bank) in respect of LIBOR, the Bank may by notice to the Borrower amend the provision to bring it into line with such other provisions.

ARTICLE 2
Guarantee

		
	2.01
	Payment

		
	(a) 
	Immediate recourse guarantee

The Guarantor, as primary obligor, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Bank the due and punctual payment and performance of all present and future obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank under and in connection with the Finance Contract. The Guarantor undertakes that, if the Borrower fails to pay any part of a Guaranteed Sum to the Bank, whether upon the normal due date, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Guarantor shall unconditionally, irrevocably and promptly pay that sum to the Bank on first written demand, in the currency specified in the Finance Contract and to the account specified in the demand, provided that the principal monies comprised in the Guaranteed Sums shall consist of those monies disbursed and outstanding from time to time under the Finance Contract and the Guarantor shall have no liability in respect of such principal monies prior to their disbursement. This Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity is an independent guarantee of payment when due and not of collectibility. 

For the purposes of this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, a "Guaranteed Sum" means any principal, interest, commission, indemnity, charge, expense or any other sum (in each case, whether actual or contingent, whether owed jointly or severally and whether owed as principal or surety or in any other capacity) due now or hereafter from the Borrower to the Bank under, pursuant to or in connection with the Finance Contract and any other sum due from time to time now or hereafter from the Borrower in connection with any advance or credit extended pursuant to the Finance Contract which remains unpaid after the expiry of the relevant grace periods provided under the Finance Contract.

Anything contained in this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, such obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to

5

 avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provision of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”).

(b)    Interest on sums demanded under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity
    
The Guarantor further agrees and undertakes unconditionally and irrevocably to pay interest to the Bank at the rate specified in, and calculated under, Article 3.02 (Interest on overdue sums) of the Finance Contract on any sum demanded under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity from its Due Date until its date of receipt by the Bank.

For the purposes of this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, “Due Date” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Sum, its due date for payment under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, being at the latest the second (2nd) Business Day from the date of the demand made by the Bank with respect to such payment. 

		
	2.02
	Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity shall not be impaired, discharged or affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Article 2.02, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under Article 2 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Bank) including:

		
	(a)
	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Guarantor, the Borrower or other person;

		
	(b)
	the release of the Guarantor, the Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

		
	(c)
	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, the Guarantor, the Borrower or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

		
	(d)
	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Guarantor, the Borrower or any other person;

		
	(e)
	subject to Article 7, any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of the Finance Contract, this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under the Finance Contract, this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity or other document or security;

		
	(f)
	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under the Finance Contract, this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity or any other document or security; or

		
	(g)
	any insolvency or similar proceedings.

		
	2.03
	Indemnity

As an original and independent continuing obligation, additional to and separate from those set out in Articles 2.01 and 2.02 above, and without prejudice to the validity or enforceability of those obligations, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes (as primary obligor and not merely as surety) that, if any Guaranteed Sum should not be recoverable from the Guarantor under Article 2.01 above for whatever reason (including as a result of such Guaranteed Sum being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective as against the Borrower for any reason whatsoever), and whether or not the reason may have been known to the Bank or any other person at any 

6

time, the Guarantor shall, upon first written demand by the Bank, and as if it were a sole and independent obligor, compensate and hold harmless the Bank by way of a full indemnity for all loss, cost or liability incurred by the Bank resulting from the failure of the Borrower to make payment of any Guaranteed Sums in the amount and currency provided for by or pursuant to the Finance Contract, whether upon the normal due date, upon acceleration or otherwise.

		
	2.04
	Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Borrower or the Guarantor under the Finance Contract or this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

		
	2.05
	Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor or the Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Bank in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

		
	2.06
	Deferral of the Guarantor’s rights 

Any claim which the Guarantor may have by way of contribution or indemnity arising from any payment hereunder, shall, prior to the full and irrevocable repayment of the Guaranteed Sums, be exercised by the Guarantor only if and to the extent that the Bank so requires and in such manner and upon such terms as the Bank may specify and the Guarantor shall hold any monies, rights or security held or received by it as a result of the exercise of any such rights on behalf of, and to the order of, the Bank for application in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity as if such monies, rights or security were held or received by the Bank under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity.

2.07    Additional security

The Guarantor’s obligations under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity are in addition to and are not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Bank.

		
	2.08
	Application of payments

Any money received by the Bank in connection with this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity may be placed by the Bank to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the right of the Bank to prove for the whole of the claims against the Borrower or may be applied by the Bank in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Sums as the Bank in its absolute discretion may from time to time determine; provided, however, that if any such money, being freely disposable by the Bank, is not applied towards satisfaction of the Guaranteed Sums for which payment of the money was made hereunder, the Guarantor's responsibility in respect of the Guaranteed Sums shall be discharged to the extent of such payment.

		
	2.09
	Representations and warranties of the Guarantor

The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Bank that:

the Guarantor shall inform the Bank without delay and in any case within 10 (ten) Business Days following the conclusion or amendment of such contractual arrangement in writing and provide the text of such More Favourable Clause to the Bank. Such More Favourable Clause will be deemed to be incorporated into this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity by reference, with effect as of the day when such More Favourable Clause became effective under the relevant contract (any such More Favourable Clause so adopted by reference into this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, an “Adopted Deed Clause”). Such Adopted Deed Clause shall not be amended, cancelled, or withdrawn without the prior written consent of the Bank, and the Guarantor shall upon the request of the Bank conclude an amendment to this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity which incorporates the relevant Adopted Deed Clause.

In the event a More Favourable Clause becomes an Adopted Deed Clause under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity and, thereafter, such More Favourable Clause is either removed or amended to be less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor or is otherwise less favorable to the third party creditors than such More Favorable Clause had previously been (a “Relaxed More Favourable Clause”), then, upon notice thereof by the Guarantor to the Bank together with the delivery of the text of such Relaxed More Favourable Clause to the Bank, (x) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clause (a) above, such Adopted Deed Clause shall automatically cease to be effective under this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity, (y) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clauses (b) or (c) above, such Adopted Deed Clause shall automatically be deemed amended to conform to such Relaxed More Favorable Clause; provided, however, that the relevant provisions of this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity shall not be deemed to be amended pursuant to this clause (y) to the extent that any such amendment would render such provision less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor than such provision would have been had such original Adopted Deed Clause never been adopted (by reference or otherwise) into this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity. The Bank shall, upon the request of the Guarantor, conclude an amendment to this Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity which deletes or amends, as the case may be, the relevant Adopted Deed Clause.
