(b) Reserved. 2.2. Making the Loans. (a) Notices. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than: (i) (x) 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Loans, or (y) 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of SOFR Loans; (ii) 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the day of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars if the aggregate principal amount thereof is less than U.S. $100,000,000; or (iii) 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars if the aggregate principal amount thereof is U.S. $100,000,000 or more; provided, such notice may be given by 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day of such proposed Borrowing in the case of the Borrowing on the Agreement Date; by AGCO, on behalf of the Borrowers, to the Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof; provided, however, in connection with the Borrowing of the initial Loans hereunder, such Borrowing may be made by giving notice by 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day of such Borrowing if such Borrowing consists of Base Rate Loans made in U.S. Dollars. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by electronic mail, telecopier or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the: (A) requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day (or U.S. Government Securities Business Day for SOFR Borrowings)) and the name of the applicable Borrower for such Borrowing; (B) requested Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing which (1) may be a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars and (2) shall be a Eurocurrency Loan if the requested currency for such Borrowing is in Euros; (C) requested aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing; (D) requested currency in which such Borrowing is to be made;

 

32 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (E) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans, requested Interest Period for each such Borrowing (including the expiration date thereof); and (F) Borrower’s Account of such Borrower for such Borrowing (which shall be with an institution located in the same country as the Administrative Agent’s Account for the requested currency of such Borrowing). (b) Making of Loans by Lenders. In the case of a proposed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any case no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day before any Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan or 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day of any Base Rate Loan) notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.5(a). Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Relevant Currency Time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans, or 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Borrowings in the applicable currency, in same-day funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitment of such Lender. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrowers by delivering such funds to the relevant Borrower’s Account in the applicable currency. Receipt of such funds in the Borrower’s Account shall be deemed to have occurred when the Administrative Agent notifies AGCO, by telephone or otherwise, of the Federal Reserve Bank reference number, CHIPS identification number or similar number with respect to the delivery of such funds. (c) Appointment of AGCO as Agent, Etc. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. Each Borrower (other than AGCO) (i) irrevocably and unconditionally designates, as its agent for purposes of delivering any Notice of Borrowing on behalf of the Borrowers, AGCO and any officer or employee of AGCO, and (ii) acknowledges that (A) any such Notice of Borrowing at any time delivered by AGCO or any such officer or employee shall be binding on each Borrower and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to determine whether the delivery of any such Notice of Borrowing by AGCO or any such officer or director was duly authorized by each Borrower in any specific instance. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans, AGCO shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including without limitation any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Revolving Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (d) Reserved.

 

33 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (e) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption but without any obligation to do so, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender on the one hand and the applicable Borrowers on the other severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to any Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, for the first three Business Days the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and thereafter at the Base Rate (for such applicable currency) and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (for such applicable currency). If Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by such Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (f) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.6 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.6 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.6. 2.3. Reduction of the Commitments. Borrowers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Unused Commitments; provided that each partial reduction: (a) shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S. €25,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. €5,000,000 in excess thereof; (b) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments; and (c) shall be permanent and irrevocable. 2.4. Repayments. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may, upon at least three (3) (or two (2) in the case of a Base Rate Loan) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay pro rata among the Lenders the outstanding amount of

 

34 ACTIVE 63591839v7 any Loans in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid; provided, however, that in the event that any Lender receives payment of the principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such Loan after receiving a timely Prepayment Notice (whether due to prepayments made by any Borrower, or due to acceleration of the Loans, or due to any other reason (except as set forth in Section 2.11(b))), the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand any amounts owing pursuant to Section 11.2. Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be in a minimum amount of U.S. €10,000,000, and in an integral multiple of U.S. €5,000,000 in excess thereof, and in the case of any partial prepayment of a Loan, not less than the minimum amounts specified in Section 2.1(a)(i) shall Continue as Loans thereafter. (b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) On any date on which the Commitments shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.3, if the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date shall exceed the Total Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in the aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and shall pay on demand to the Lenders any amounts owing under Section 11.2 as a result of such prepayment. Each such prepayment by a Borrower shall be applied ratably to such Revolving Loans, as Borrowers shall designate at the time of such prepayment. (ii) If, on the last Business Day of any calendar quarter, the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date shall exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Total Commitments on such date (the “Currency Exchange Excess”), such Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any payments pursuant to clause (iii) below); provided, to the extent such prepayment would require the repayment of a Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers may instead deliver same-day funds to the Administrative Agent for deposit in such interest-bearing account as the Administrative Agent shall specify (the “Borrower Cash Collateral Account”), in an amount equal to the Currency Exchange Excess (net of any prepayment pursuant to this Section). The Borrower Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest any amounts on deposit in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account. AGCO grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a lien on and security interest in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and all amounts from time to time on deposit therein as collateral security for the performance of AGCO’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to it under Applicable Law with respect to the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein. Promptly after any date on which there shall occur a reduction in the amount of the Currency Exchange Excess, the Administrative Agent will return to AGCO, free and clear of any Lien under this Section, an amount equal to the excess of amounts then on deposit in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account (including accrued interest) over the amount of the Currency Exchange Excess as of the date of and after giving effect to such reduction.

 

35 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (iii) Each Borrower shall pay the outstanding unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date or (y) the date the Loans are accelerated in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 8 of this Agreement. (c) Reserved. (d) Interest on Principal Amounts Prepaid. All prepayments under this Section 2.4 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. 2.5. Interest. (a) Ordinary Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan, SOFR Loan and Eurocurrency Loan owing to each Lender from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: (i) Base Rate Loan. During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect for Base Rate Loans, payable (x) in arrears quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter during such periods, (y) on the date on which such Base Rate Loan shall be paid in full, and (z) on the Maturity Date. (ii) Eurocurrency Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (x) EURIBOR for such Interest Period for such Loan, plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect for Eurocurrency Loans from time to time, payable in arrears on (A) the last day of such Interest Period, (B) on the date on which such Loan shall be paid in full, and (C) on the Maturity Date, and (iii) SOFR Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a SOFR Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (x) Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period for such Loan, plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect for SOFR Loans from time to time, payable in arrears on (A) the last day of such Interest Period, (B) on the date on which such Loan shall be paid in full and (C) on the Maturity Date. (b) Interest Rate Basis for Initial Loans and Loans in Offshore Currencies. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrowers may not select (i) the Eurocurrency Rate or SOFR for the Loans, or Loans in any Offshore Currency, to be borrowed on the Agreement Date unless Administrative Agent receives the applicable Notice of Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the Agreement Date, together with a funding indemnity letter from the Borrowers agreeing to pay losses as described in Section 11.2, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, or

 

36 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (ii) the Base Rate for any Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of any Loans in an Offshore Currency. (c) Default Interest. (i) Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(e), or at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders when any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to all of the rights and remedies described in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the Default Rate from the date of such Event of Default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on the earlier of demand by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders or the Maturity Date, and shall accrue until the earlier of (i) waiver in writing by Required Lenders of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) agreement by Required Lenders to rescind the charging of interest at the Default Rate, or (iii) payment in full of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any interest, fees or other amounts not paid by the Borrowers when due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Default Rate applicable to the Base Rate Loans. 2.6. Fees. (a) Administrative Agent. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a fee separately agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and such other fees required by the Fee Letter on the dates set forth therein. (b) Unused Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”) in Euros computed each day, on each Lender’s Unused Commitment, from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee in effect from time to time, which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date) and, if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date. 2.7. Conversion and Designation of Interest Periods. (a) On any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the third Business Day (or third U.S. Government Securities Business Day for SOFR Loans) prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or Continuation and subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.6 and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, AGCO may Convert all or any portion of the Loans in U.S. Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Loans of another Type, or Continue any Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided, if (i) less than all Loans are Converted or Continued, after such Conversion or Continuation, not less than the minimum amounts specified in Section 2.1(a)(i) shall Continue as Loans; (ii) less than all Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing are Converted or Continued, the portion of the Loans Converted or Continued must at least equal the minimum aggregate principal amount of a Borrowing permitted under Section 2.1(a)(i) and all Lenders’ Loans comprising the Borrowing to be Converted or Continued in part shall be Converted or Continued ratably in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Shares; and (iii) each Conversion

 

37 ACTIVE 63591839v7 of less than all Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be deemed to be an additional Borrowing for purposes of Section 2.7(d), and no such Conversion or Continuation of any Loans may result in there being outstanding more separate Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans than permitted under Section 2.7(d). Each such notice of Conversion or Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, or the last date of the Interest Period of the Loans to be Continued, (ii) the Loans to be Converted or Continued, and (iii) if such Conversion is into or a Continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans, the duration and the expiration date of the new Interest Period for such Loans. Each notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on AGCO. If a Borrower requests a Conversion to or Continuation of a Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. (b) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of SOFR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than U.S. $25,000,000, such Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans. (c) (i) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and properly completed notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan (as set forth in clause (a) above) prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall be automatically deemed to have requested that such Loan Continue as a Eurocurrency Loan with a one month Interest Period, subject to such Borrower’s right to repay such Loan at the end of such original Interest Period (which repayment shall be accompanied by any costs under Section 11.2), and (ii) if a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and properly completed notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to a SOFR Loan (as set forth in clause (a) above) prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a SOFR Loan with a one month Interest Period, subject to such Borrower’s right to repay such Loan at the end of such original Interest Period (which repayment shall be accompanied by any costs under Section 11.2). (d) No Borrower shall request a Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan if, after giving effect thereto, there would be more than five (5) Eurocurrency Loan Borrowings and SOFR Loan Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding. (e) During the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon the election of the Required Lenders, during the continuance of any Default: (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make, continue or convert any Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans shall be suspended; (ii) if an Offshore Currency is the affected currency, the Borrowers will, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, prepay each Eurocurrency Loan in the affected currency (provided, that if the affected Borrower shall fail to prepay such Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency as required under this clause (ii), on and after the date such prepayment is due, the interest for the Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency

 

38 ACTIVE 63591839v7 shall be calculated, including for purposes of any interest required under Section 2.5(c), based on the Base Rate); and (iii) each SOFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then- existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan. 2.8. Payments and Computations. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder free and clear of any setoff or counterclaim, with such payment being paid not later than 11:00 a.m. (Relevant Currency Time) on the day when due in the case of principal or interest on and other amounts relating to any Borrowing in the currency in which such Borrowing was denominated and in any other case in Euros (or such other currency in which such amount may be invoiced by the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent in same-day funds by deposit of such funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account for payments in the applicable currency. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and in any event, if received from a Borrower by the time specified in the preceding two sentences, on the day of receipt) cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by a Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder in a particular currency, to the applicable Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices for payments in such currency ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations in such currency then payable to such Lenders, and (ii) if such payment by a Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office for payments in the applicable currency. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned hereby to the Lender assignee hereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Loans to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Loans then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct. (c) All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans accruing interest at the Prime Rate, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six 366 days, as the case may be) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All other computations of interest and fees payable by any Borrower shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred

 

39 ACTIVE 63591839v7 sixty (360) days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of such interest or fee, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans to be made in the next-following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from AGCO prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent makes available to a Lender on such date a corresponding amount, such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or in the case of Offshore Currencies, at an overnight rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 2.9. Sharing of Payments, Etc. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the type of Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. (b) If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) distributed other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender): (1) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time; or (2) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the

 

40 ACTIVE 63591839v7 aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time; such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (y) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above of this Section 2.9 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. 2.10. Reserved. 2.11. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender (or a Defaulting Lender, as applicable), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. If such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: FIRST, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; SECOND, as AGCO may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund

 

41 ACTIVE 63591839v7 its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; THIRD, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and AGCO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; FOURTH, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; FIFTH, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and SIXTH, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

Except for action requiring the approval of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, any Loan Document, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been instructed by the Required Lenders to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability under or in respect of any Loan Document with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Section 9.2. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final

(h) Each Lender may sell participations (without any notice to, or consent of, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it) to a financial institution (a “Participant”); provided that; (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitments) shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). (i) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders affected thereby that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.1, 11.2 11.4 and 11.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 11.4 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 11.4 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 11.5 as if it were an assignee under paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 11.1 and 11.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive had the participation not occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 11.5 with respect to any

 

66 ACTIVE 63591839v7 Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.5 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (j) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.6, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, any public information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and any information conspicuously labeled by a Borrower as being confidential at the time such information is furnished to such Lender if such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant has agreed to use reasonable efforts to keep such information confidential. (k) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the Loans owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Lender that is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the Loans owing to it) to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee. Section 10.7. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrowers or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders or any of such Persons exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

67 ACTIVE 63591839v7 Section 10.8. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. Each Borrower hereby agrees to provide, and cause each other Loan Party to provide, such information promptly upon the request of Administrative Agent or any Lender. Section 10.9. Borrower Liability. (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that any Notice of Borrowing or any other notice given by AGCO or any other Borrower to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall bind all Borrowers, and that any notice given by Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Borrower shall be effective with respect to all Borrowers. (b) AGCO BV shall not have any liability for any Borrowing advanced directly to AGCO on its behalf. AGCO shall be jointly and severally liable for all Loans and other liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or of itself or of AGCO BV. AGCO shall be entitled to subrogation and contribution rights from and against AGCO BV to the extent AGCO is required to pay to Administrative Agent or the Lenders any amount in excess of the Loans advanced directly to, or other Obligations incurred directly by, AGCO or as otherwise available under applicable law; provided, however, that AGCO will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder or under any other Loan Document or at law by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, nor shall AGCO seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from AGCO BV in respect of payments made by AGCO hereunder or under any other Loan Document, until all amounts owing to Administrative Agent and the Lenders on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amounts shall be paid to AGCO on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by AGCO in trust for Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of AGCO, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by AGCO, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by AGCO Person (duly endorsed by AGCO to Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as provided for herein. ARTICLE 11. INCREASED COSTS, TAXES, ETC. Section 11.1. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as

 

68 ACTIVE 63591839v7 “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; (ii) subject any Recipient to any tax of any kind (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such other Recipient, Borrowers will pay to such Lender, or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, in any case to or for the account of any Borrower, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time such Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificate for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount of additional interest or the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to AGCO, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt of AGCO thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention

 

69 ACTIVE 63591839v7 to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Section 11.2. Breakage Costs. If any prepayment or payment (or failure to prepay after the delivery of a notice of prepayment) of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan after receiving a Prepayment Notice within the time period required by Section 2.4(a), as a result of a payment or Conversion, acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5, such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for all losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such failure or prepayment, including without limitation foreign exchange losses, based on customary funding and foreign exchange hedging arrangements, whether or not such arrangements actually occur, and any and all other losses, costs or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Borrowing and the unavailability of funds as a result of such Borrower prepayment of failure, but excluding loss of anticipated profits. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section and delivered to AGCO, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Section 11.3. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at 11:00 a.m. (Relevant Currency Time) on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

 

70 ACTIVE 63591839v7 Section 11.4. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.9, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes. (c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section, paid by or imposed on such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), including without limitation any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Recipient makes written demand therefor, and delivers to AGCO a certificate describing in reasonable detail the manner in which the indemnified amount was calculated; provided that a Recipient shall not be required to describe in such certificate information that such Recipient deems to be confidential or the disclosure of which is inconsistent with such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s internal policies. Any such calculation shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).

 

71 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.2, the original receipt of payment thereof or a certified copy of such receipt. In the case of any payment hereunder by the Borrowers through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the Borrowers by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrowers determine that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. (e) Each Lender (other than the Initial Lender) organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender, and from time to time thereafter, in each case if requested in writing by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Administrative Agent and AGCO with (i) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (1) a statement of the Lender that it is not (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (II) a ten percent (10%) shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (2) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; (ii) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; (iii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iv) to the extent such Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; and (v) such other form or forms as may be required under the Internal Revenue Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax. If the appropriate forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates an interest-withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date by a Borrower, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includible in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information

 

72 ACTIVE 63591839v7 required on the Agreement Date by IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or other form that the applicable Borrower has indicated in writing to the Lenders on the Agreement Date as being a required form to avoid or reduce withholding tax on payments under this Agreement, that a Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. (f) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender in an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (e) of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (f). (g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to an additional payment or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. (h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party,

 

73 ACTIVE 63591839v7 shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 11.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder. (j) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to AGCO and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by AGCO or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by AGCO or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Section 11.5. Mitigation; Replacement of a Lender. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 11.1(a) and (b), gives a notice under Section 11.6(a) or (b), or requires the Loan Parties to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of AGCO) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 11.1(a) and (b) or Section 11.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for a notice under Section 11.6(a) or (b), and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

74 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (b) Replacement of a Lender. Subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section 11.5, if: (i) a Lender requests compensation under Sections 11.1(a) and (b) or Section 11.4 and other Lenders holding Commitments equal to at least one-third of the Total Commitments shall not have made a similar request; (ii) reserved; (iii) the obligation of a Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 11.6 in circumstances in which such obligations of other Lenders holding Commitments equal to at least one-third of all Commitments shall not have been suspended; (iv) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender; or (v) any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then so long as such condition occurs and is continuing the Administrative Agent (i) may replace such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), or cause such Affected Lender to be replaced, or (ii) upon the written request of AGCO, the Administrative Agent shall replace such Affected Lender with an Eligible Assignee identified by AGCO (the “Replacement Lender”), by having such Affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 10.6; provided that (i) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 11.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 11.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (ii) in case of any such assignment resulting from the suspension of the obligation of a Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 11.6, such assignment will result in the revocation of such suspension, (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law, and (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender for the Borrowers (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it AGCO’s obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender). Upon receipt by any Affected Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent or AGCO is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section, such Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and Section 10.6 for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled through the assignment date.

 

75 ACTIVE 63591839v7 Subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Assumption (and the approval thereof by the applicable Persons specified in Section 10.6(b)(iv)) and the payment to the Administrative Agent by AGCO on behalf of such Affected Lender of the assignment fee specified in Section 10.6(b)(v) and any costs as a result of the assignment pursuant to Section 11.2, the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Affected Lender hereunder and such Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder; provided that the obligations of the Borrowers to such Affected Lender under Sections 11.1, 11.3 and 11.4 with respect to events occurring or obligations arising before or as a result of such replacement shall survive such replacement. AGCO may not exercise its rights under this Section 11.5(b) with respect to any Lender if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Section 11.6. Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting. (a) Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 11.6(c), if: (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Benchmark for a Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, prior to the first day of any Interest Period therefor or (y) the applicable “Term SOFR” or “EURIBOR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or (ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR or EURIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Administrative Agent; then, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to a Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and (i) any obligations of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans in each affected currency, any rights of a Borrower to continue Loans in the affected currency, or, for Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, to convert any Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loans or, in the case of SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, the affected Interest Periods) and (ii) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute Base Rate without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans in each such affected currency (to the extent of the affected Loans or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (x) (A) in the case of any request for a Borrowing in U.S. Dollars, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) in the case of any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (y) (A) any outstanding

 

76 ACTIVE 63591839v7 affected SOFR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor and (B) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Loans, at a Borrowers’ election, shall either (1) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Offshore Currency) at the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor with respect to Eurocurrency Loans or (2) be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor with respect to Eurocurrency Loans; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers in an Offshore Currency in respect of Eurocurrency Borrowings, by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or (y) the last day of the current Interest Period, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay any accrued interest on the amount so converted and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 11.2. (b) Illegality. If any Lender determines that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Eurocurrency Loans or SOFR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon EURIBOR, or SOFR or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits in an applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to a Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) the interest rate for Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and a Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (x) convert all SOFR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars of such Lender to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such, or (y) convert all Eurocurrency Loans to Base Rate Loans (in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Offshore Currency) (in each case, the interest rate for Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor with respect to Eurocurrency Loans if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon EURIBOR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 11.2.

 

77 ACTIVE 63591839v7 (c) Benchmark Replacement Setting. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to a currency, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark for such currency with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 11.6(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. (ii) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 11.6(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 11.6(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 11.6(c). (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement) (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative,

 

78 ACTIVE 63591839v7 non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (v) Upon a Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, such Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have (x) converted any such request for Borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (y) converted any such request for a Borrowings denominated in an Other Currency into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Other Currency). During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the Term SOFR or such tenor of Term SOFR, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. (vi) Each Borrower and each other Loan Party (including those that that become party hereto after the date hereof), in its respective capacity as a Borrower, debtor, obligor, guarantor, assignor, or other similar capacity in which such party acts as direct or indirect, or primary or secondary, obligor, accommodation party or guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.6(c) (including, without limitation, the implementation from time to time of any Benchmark Replacement and any Conforming Changes in accordance herewith) and, in furtherance of the forgoing (and without, in any way express or implied, invalidating, impairing or otherwise negatively affecting any obligations heretofore provided) hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with and after giving effect to any Benchmark Cessation Changes: (a) its Obligations shall not in any way be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired, and shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force in effect, (b) its grant of a guarantee, or any other accommodation, relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed, and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired and (c) the Loan Documents and its obligations thereunder (contingent or otherwise) shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired.

ACTIVE 64337304v2 Schedule 4.1(v) AGCO currently has the following Subsidiaries located in Russia: a. AGCO LLC; b. Cimbria LLC; c. AGCO Machinery LLC. AGCO International Holdings BV (“AGCO BV”) is currently engaged in two joint ventures with the Russian company, GAZ Group. One of the owners of shares in GAZ Group is Oleg Deripaska, who became subject to US sanctions in early April 2018 and subsequently became subject to UK sanctions in March 2022 and EU sanction in April 2022. AGCO has received a letter from GAZ Group dated March 14, 2022 stating that Mr. Deripaksa owns less than 50% of GAZ Group and does not control GAZ Group. After the due diligence actions listed below, AGCO does not have any verifiable information which contradicts this letter. The first joint venture, AGCO Machinery LLC, is focused on the distribution of AGCO products in Russia. It is 100% owned by AGCO-RM (Distribution) Holding B.V, a Dutch holding company, which in turn is owned 51% by AGCO BV and 49% by a GAZ Dutch company. The second joint venture, Golaz OJSC, is focused on the assembly, localization and production of imported AGCO products into the Russian market. It is 100% owned by AGCO-RM (Manufacturing) Holding BV, a Dutch holding company, which is owned 49% by AGCO BV and 51% by a GAZ Dutch company. Both joint ventures are consolidated in AGCO’s accounts even though Golaz OJSC does not qualify as a Subsidiary or Affiliate for the purposes of the Credit Agreement. The AGCO Machinery LLC investment is consolidated by virtue of the 51% shareholding, and the Golaz OJSC investment as a result of this entity’s reliance on AGCO Machinery LLC to distribute its output. On May 22, 2018, OFAC agreed to issue a general license extending the wind down period for GAZ Group and its subsidiaries until October 23, 2018. This date has subsequently been extended by OFAC, most recently to 12:01 am Eastern time on May 25, 2022. AGCO understands that GAZ Group is currently in negotiations with the United States Treasury Department and may seek to have sanctions lifted or the license deadline extended further. AGCO has inquired of OFAC as to the options available to AGCO if the general license deadline is not further extended and is awaiting a substantive reply from OFAC. AGCO will take a course of action which is consistent with whatever instructions or directions it receives from OFAC. In any event, AGCO is committed to having its interest in these joint ventures be in compliance with sanctions laws and has been working with its US, English and Dutch counsel to ensure such compliance. Due diligence actions: 1. Review of publicly available websites;

 

ACTIVE 64337304v2 2. Correspondence with Dutch lawyers to AGCO or its Subsidiary regarding the ownership of GAZ, who indicated Mr. Deripaska ultimately owns less than 50% of GAZ Group; 3. Correspondence with PJSC GAZ as to evidence of ownership and control, which indicated Mr. Deripaska ultimately owns less than 50% of GAZ Group; 4. Letter dated March 14, 2022 from GAZ Group stating Mr. Deripaska owns less than 50% of GAZ Group, does not control GAZ Group and submits monthly certifications to OFAC; and 5. Other information received from law firms in the Netherlands, UK and USA.
