On each such Settlement Date, such Collections shall be applied by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Programme Purchaser to satisfy in full the following amounts with respect to the RPA Pool as follows (for the avoidance of doubt, Collections for the purposes of this Section 2.7 shall be strictly allocated in the sequence provided for in clauses (i) to (viii) below; no Collections shall be remitted in satisfaction of any sum referred to in a particular clause unless the sum due in the immediately preceding clause has been satisfied in full by an application of Collections): (i) first, if the Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent on such Settlement Date, in or towards payment to the Master Servicer of an amount equal to the Master Servicer Fee accrued and due (on or prior to such Settlement Date) but unpaid on such Settlement Date; 11 15 (ii) second, to transfer to the Programme Purchaser an amount equal to the Discount accrued and due but unpaid for the most recently-ended Discount Period and all outstanding amounts of Discount remaining unpaid in respect of previous Discount Periods in each case to the extent that such Discount has not been paid by or on behalf of the AGCO Seller pursuant to Section 2.9 and in each case as notified by the Agent to the Master Servicer; (iii) third, to transfer to the Programme Purchaser an amount equal to the Fees accrued and due but unpaid on such Settlement Date and all outstanding Fees remaining unpaid in respect of previous Discount Periods in each case to the extent that such Fees have not been paid by or on behalf of the AGCO Seller pursuant to the Fee Letter and in each case as notified by the Agent to the Master Servicer; (iv) fourth, to transfer to the Programme Purchaser an amount sufficient to reduce the Capital on such date to zero; (v) fifth, if the balance standing to the credit of the Tax Reserve Account is less than the Tax Reserve Requirement on such Settlement Date, to transfer to the Programme Purchaser, out of Collections on German Receivables only, an amount sufficient to replenish the credit balance on the Tax Reserve Account to an amount equal to the Tax Reserve Requirement on such Settlement Date, as notified by the Agent to the Master Servicer; (vi) sixth, to transfer to the Programme Purchaser an amount equal to any Costs due on or prior to such Settlement Date but unpaid on such Settlement Date (to the extent that such Costs have not been taken into account in the calculation of Discount that has been paid by the AGCO Seller and to the extent that such Costs have not been paid by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer, as applicable as contemplated by Section 2.11, Section 2.12, or Article VIII, as applicable) in each case as notified by the Agent to the Programme Purchaser; (vii) seventh, if the Master Servicer is an Affiliate of the Parent on such Settlement Date, in or towards payment to the Master Servicer of an amount equal to the Master Servicer Fee accrued and due (on or prior to such Settlement Date) but unpaid on such Settlement Date; and (viii) eighth, pro rata and pari passu in accordance with the amount owed in or towards payment to the AGCO Seller of an amount equal to the Outstanding Deferred Purchase Price relating to Purchased Receivables of the RPA Pool on such Settlement Date or, as the case may be, in or towards a refund of the Outstanding Subrogation Fee relating to Purchased Receivables of the RPA Pool on such Settlement Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Deferred Purchase Price or Outstanding Subrogation Fee for any Purchased Receivables of any Receivables Pool relating to a Receivables Transfer Agreement shall be determined by reference to that Receivables Pool and not the RPA Pool. SECTION 2.8 Deemed Collections. (a) If, on any day, any Purchased Receivable becomes a Diluted Receivable, other than by reason of the operation of clause (b) below, the AGCO Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Purchased Receivable in the amount of the reduction, adjustment or cancellation of the Outstanding Balance thereof which resulted in such Receivable being a Diluted Receivable. (b) If any of the representations or warranties in clauses (a), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Section 4.2 is not true on or by reference to the facts existing on the day such representation or warranty was given with respect to a Purchased Receivable, the AGCO Seller or, to the extent that such representation or warranty was given by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Purchased Receivable in full. (c) If the AGCO Seller is deemed to have received a Collection on any Purchased Receivable pursuant to Section 2.3(h) or Section 2.8(a), the AGCO Seller shall be obliged to pay an amount equal to such deemed Collection to the Master Servicer for the account of the Programme Purchaser, such payment becoming due on the date of the deemed Collection, but, if no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, not payable until the Settlement Date next following the date of the deemed Collection, provided that, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, such payment shall be due and payable on the date of the deemed Collection. (d) If the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer is deemed to have received a Collection on any Purchased Receivable pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be obliged to pay an amount equal to such deemed Collection: (i) if payment is due from the AGCO Seller, by the AGCO Seller to the Master Servicer for the account of the Programme Purchaser; and (ii) if payment is due from the Master Servicer, by the Master Servicer out of its own funds for application in accordance with Section 2.6 or Section 2.7, as applicable, such payment becoming due on the date of the deemed Collection, but, if no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, not payable until the Settlement Date next following the date of the deemed Collection, provided that, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, such payment shall be due and payable on the date of the deemed Collection.

SECTION 2.9 Discount and Default Fees. (a) Discount shall accrue on the amount of the Capital on the first day of each Discount Period from such day and on each day occurring during such Discount Period to the last such day. The Discount that has accrued during a Discount Period shall become due and payable by the AGCO Seller, in arrear, on the Settlement Date on which such Discount Period ends and the AGCO Seller shall so pay the same to the Programme Purchaser on each Settlement Date. (b) The Programme Purchaser agrees that it is its intention to obtain and maintain funding for the purchase of Receivables hereunder by issuing Commercial Paper. However, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, whilst the Programme Purchaser agrees to act reasonably in obtaining and maintaining such funding, its selection of its source of funding shall in all events be in its sole discretion. (c) If the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, such Person agrees to pay to the Programme Purchaser, on demand, the Default Fee in respect of such unpaid amount, provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not exceed the maximum amount, if any, permitted by applicable law. SECTION 2.10 Payments and Computations, Etc.. (a) Euro is the currency of account for each payment made or to be made under this Agreement with respect to each Receivables Pool. If any Collections received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Purchased Receivables are denominated in a currency other than Euro the Master Servicer shall nevertheless satisfy its obligations under Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 by payment in Euro. If the amount of such Collections, by reason only of a change in the relevant Exchange Rate is insufficient to enable the Master Servicer to satisfy such obligations in full, the AGCO Seller shall be liable to pay to the Master Servicer (for the account of the Programme Purchaser) an amount in Euro sufficient to enable the Master Servicer to satisfy such obligations in Euro in full and the Master Servicer shall so satisfy such obligations. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts (including, but not limited to the remittance of any Collections) to be paid or deposited by any Person hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when such amounts are due, in immediately available funds. If any amount 14 18 hereunder is payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. (c) All computations of fees payable under this Agreement and of Discount shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year (or, if such Discount is calculated based upon the CP Rate, a 365 or 366 day year (as applicable)) and the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last) elapsed. (d) All payments by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be made free of any set-off or counterclaim on the part of any such Person. (e) Any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, the AGCO Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to the Programme Purchaser all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8, Section 2.9, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Article VIII, the fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and any Default Fee accruing in respect of those amounts. (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any amounts owed by it in respect of any Receivable shall, unless otherwise required by contract or any applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Programme Purchaser, be applied as a Collection of any Purchased Receivables of such Obligor, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other Receivable or other obligation of such Obligor. (g) If applicable legislative measures of the Council of the European Union provide that any payment under this Agreement which is denominated in Euro may at any time be made in Euro or a Legacy Currency, such payment may be made hereunder in either Euro or such Legacy Currency. SECTION 2.11 Yield Protection. (a) If either the introduction of or any change, including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements, in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or the compliance by the Agent or the Programme Purchaser (each an "Affected Party") with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency or authority, whether or not having the force of law: (i) shall subject the Affected Party to any tax (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to the Purchased Receivables or the Related Assets, or any right or obligation hereunder or under any Funding Document, or on any payment made hereunder or under any Funding Document; (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party; or (iii) shall impose any other condition affecting the Purchased Receivables or the Related Assets or the rights of any Affected Party under any Funding Document or the provision or maintenance of amounts hereunder or thereunder, 15 19 the result of which, in all cases, is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Affected Party under or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Funding Documents, then, at the time provided in clause (d) of this Section 2.11 after demand by such Affected Party, which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a certificate signed by a duly authorised officer or director of the Affected Party stating that such cost has been incurred or such reduction suffered by the Affected Party, the AGCO Seller shall pay directly to such Affected Party or the Agent on its behalf such amounts as will compensate additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered. (b) If either the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or agency, whether or not having the force of law, including, without limitation, compliance by any Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement or any Funding Document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party would have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance, taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy, by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, at the time provided in clause (d) of this Section 2.11 after demand by such Affected Party, which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a certificate signed by a duly authorised officer or director of the Affected Party stating that such cost has been incurred or such reduction suffered by the Affected Party, the AGCO Seller shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

(d) Provided that no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, all amounts payable under and pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be paid on the Settlement Date immediately following the date the Programme Purchaser or the Agent makes written demand therefor or if the immediately following Settlement Date occurs less than 10 Business Days after the date of such demand, the next following Settlement Date, provided that if after the date of such demand the relevant Settlement Date contemplated in this clause (d) will not occur, the amounts contemplated in this clause (d) shall be paid no later than 45 Business Days after the date of such demand. If a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, all amounts payable under and pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall become due and payable immediately upon demand being made by the Programme Purchaser or Agent. 16 20 (e) Anything in this Section 2.11 to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) the Programme Purchaser has agreed to purchase assets from or make loans to any Person other than the AGCO Seller (or any Affiliate thereof), or (ii) any Funding Source has agreed to provide liquidity support or credit enhancement to (A) one or more Persons other than the Programme Purchaser or (B) to the Programme Purchaser in connection with agreements entered into by the Programme Purchaser for the purchase of assets or the making of loans to any Person other than the AGCO Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) (the agreements referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above being "Other Transactions"), then each of the Programme Purchaser and/or such Funding Source, as applicable, shall allocate in a reasonable manner the liability for any amounts payable under Section 2.11(a), Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) ("2.11 Costs") to the AGCO Seller and each Other Transaction; provided, however, that if in the Programme Purchaser's or such Funding Source's opinion such 2.11 Costs are attributable to the AGCO Seller and/or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and not attributable to any Other Transaction or any other transaction, the AGCO Seller shall be solely liable for such 2.11 Costs. (f) If the AGCO Seller becomes obliged to compensate the Agent or the Programme Purchaser in accordance with clause (a) or clause (b) above, the Agent shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such compensation, provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the reasonable judgement of the Agent, such steps would be materially disadvantageous to the Programme Purchaser or the Agent. (g) The agreements and obligations of the AGCO Seller contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 2.12 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer to the Programme Purchaser and/or the Agent hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, (i) imposed by any Governmental Entity or taxing authority thereof (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"), (ii) imposed by any federation or association of any Governmental Entity, or of which any Governmental Entity may be a member or, with which any Governmental Entity may be associated, or (iii) imposed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a consequence or result of any action taken by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (directly or through a Subservicer), including the making of any payment hereunder (the jurisdictions in clause (i) and clause (iii) of this Section 2.12(a) being hereinafter referred to as "Other Applicable Jurisdictions"), excluding in each case any income, branch profits or franchise taxes imposed on the Programme Purchaser or the Agent by the jurisdiction or political subdivision in which the Programme Purchaser or the Agent is organised or has any office, branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate or principal place of business, as the case may be (all such Taxes and other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as the "Applicable Taxes"). 17 21 (b) If the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Programme Purchaser or the Agent: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary by the party making the payment so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Programme Purchaser or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (as applicable) shall make such deductions; and (iii) the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (as applicable) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

Payment pursuant to this indemnification shall be made, at the time provided in clause (h) of this Section 2.12 following the date the Programme Purchaser or the Agent makes written demand therefor giving details of the basis of such claim, provided that neither the Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs which it considers confidential. (e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Applicable Taxes, or as soon thereafter as available, the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (as applicable) shall furnish to the Agent a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof; provided, however, that such copy shall be furnished solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to verify the payment of such Applicable Taxes by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (as applicable). The Agent shall furnish the Programme Purchaser with a copy of such receipt. If no Applicable Taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer (as applicable), the AGCO Seller shall, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, furnish to the Agent a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or not subject to Applicable Taxes. 18 22 (f) If the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer becomes obliged to pay any Applicable Taxes or Other Applicable Taxes with respect to any amounts payable to the Programme Purchaser or the Agent hereunder, the Programme Purchaser or the Agent (as applicable) shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such Applicable Taxes or Other Applicable Taxes; provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the reasonable judgement of the Programme Purchaser or the Agent, such steps would be disadvantageous to the Programme Purchaser or the Agent. (g) If, in connection with a Funding Document or the funding and maintenance of purchases of Receivables or of Capital hereunder, the Programme Purchaser or the Agent is required to compensate a Funding Source in respect of taxes under circumstances similar to those described in clauses (a) to (f) of this Section 2.12, then the AGCO Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be liable to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Programme Purchaser or the Agent, at the time provided for in clause (h) of this Section 2.12, on demand, for any amounts paid by them with respect to such compensation paid by them. (h) Provided that no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, all amounts payable under and pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be paid on the Settlement Date immediately following the date the Programme Purchaser or the Agent makes written demand therefor or if the immediately following Settlement Date occurs less than 10 Business Days after the date of such demand, the next following Settlement Date, provided that if after the date of such demand the relevant Settlement Date contemplated in this clause (h) will not occur, the amounts contemplated in this clause (h) shall be paid no later than 45 Business Days after the date of such demand.

Any payment made by the Programme Purchaser or the Agent under this clause (i) shall be conclusive evidence of the amount due to the AGCO Seller under this clause (i) and shall be accepted by the AGCO Seller in full and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement under this clause (i). Nothing in this clause (i) shall interfere with the right of the Programme Purchaser and the Agent to arrange its affairs (including its tax affairs) in such manner as it thinks fit and, in particular, neither the Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall be under any obligation to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liabilities in respect of the amount of such deduction or payment in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it. Neither the 19 23 Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information or computations relating to its tax affairs to any Person. (j) The agreements and obligations of the AGCO Seller contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 2.13 Tax Reserve Requirement.

(c) The Programme Purchaser shall use the credit balance on the Tax Reserve Account from time to time to meet any trade tax liability of the Programme Purchaser in Germany incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Programme Purchaser shall not make any withdrawal from the Tax Reserve Account other than (i) to meet any such liability, (ii) in accordance with clause (d) below or (iii) upon receipt of a Rating Confirmation in respect thereof. (d) Following the earlier of the third anniversary of the date upon which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero and the date upon which the Tax Reserve Requirement reduces to zero, upon the Agent being satisfied that the Programme Purchaser shall not be required to pay any trade tax in Germany resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby, the Programme Purchaser shall pay to the AGCO Seller an amount equal to any funds then standing to the credit of the Tax Reserve Account. The AGCO Seller shall, on its own behalf and in its own name, upon receipt of such amount, apportion such amount to each German Originator pro rata according to the retentions made by the AGCO Seller from the Purchase Prices payable by the AGCO Seller to each German Originator under each German Receivables Transfer Agreement and shall pay to each German Originator an amount equal to the applicable apportionment.

(f) Notwithstanding any delegation of the Master Servicer's duties under clause (d) above: (i) the Master Servicer shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent and the Programme Purchaser for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer under the Transaction Documents; (ii) the Agent and the Programme Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Master Servicer in matters relating to the discharge by the Master Servicer of its duties and responsibilities under the Transaction Documents; and (iii) the Agent and the Programme Purchaser shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Master Servicer in order for communication to the Master Servicer and the Subservicers in respect thereof to be accomplished. (g) AGCO Limited, at all times that it is the Master Servicer, shall be responsible for providing to the Subservicers any notice given under this Agreement. 35 39 (h) Without the prior written consent of the Programme Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed): (i) AGCO Limited shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Master Servicer to any Person other than the AGCO Seller and the Originators, and then, in each case, such delegation shall be limited to the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder as the same may relate to the Receivables purchased by the AGCO Seller under the Receivables Transfer Agreements or originated by such Originator, as the case may be; and (ii) The Master Servicer shall procure that neither the AGCO Seller nor any Originator shall further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Master Servicer delegated to it hereunder or under a Receivables Transfer Agreement. (i) If at any time the Programme Purchaser, in accordance with clause (b) above, designates as Master Servicer any Person other than AGCO Limited, then all duties and obligations delegated by the Master Servicer to the Subservicers pursuant to this Section 6.1 may, at the sole discretion of the Programme Purchaser, be terminated forthwith on written notice given by the Agent to the Master Servicer. (j) On the date that a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed by the Programme Purchaser pursuant to clause (b) above, all authority and power of the Master Servicer shall pass to and be vested in the successor Master Servicer (a "Service Transfer") and, without limitation, the Programme Purchaser and the Agent are each hereby directed, authorised and empowered (upon the failure of the Master Servicer to co-operate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the refusal of the Servicer to execute or to deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and to accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer and neither the Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall incur any liability in connection with effecting such Service Transfer. (k) The Master Servicer agrees to co-operate with the AGCO Seller, the Programme Purchaser, the Agent and any successor Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer to conduct its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer of all authority of the Master Servicer to service the Purchased Receivables (including without limitation, all authority over all Collections that shall, on the date of transfer, be held by the Master Servicer on deposit, or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer, in the AGCO Seller Account or any Originator's Account, or that shall thereafter be received with respect to the Purchased Receivables), and in assisting the successor Master Servicer. (l) Upon a Service Transfer, the terminated Master Servicer shall promptly: (i) assemble all of its documents, instruments, and other records (including credit files, licenses (to the extent transferable), rights, copies of all relevant computer programs and any necessary licenses (to the extent transferable) for the use thereof, related material, computer tapes, disks, cassettes and data) that: (A) evidence or record Receivables sold and assigned to the Programme 36 40 Purchaser; (B) are otherwise necessary to enable a successor Master Servicer to co-ordinate servicing of all such Purchased Receivables and to prepare and deliver Account Receivables Listings; and (C) are otherwise necessary to enable a successor Master Servicer to effect the immediate collection of such Purchased Receivables, with or without the participation of the Master Servicer, the AGCO Seller or any Originator; and (ii) deliver the use of all of the foregoing documents, instruments and other records to the successor Master Servicer at a place designated by the successor Master Servicer, provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required, to the extent it has an ownership interest in any electronic records, computer software or licenses, to transfer, assign, set-over or otherwise convey such ownership interests to the successor Master Servicer. All costs and expenses incurred by the terminated Master Servicer, the Programme Purchaser, the Agent or any successor Master Servicer in connection with any Service Transfer shall be for the account of the terminated Master Servicer and to the extent any such costs or expenses are not so paid, then such Persons shall be entitled to be paid such items from amounts that would otherwise be distributable under Sections 2.6 and 2.7. SECTION 6.2 Duties of the Master Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing the Purchased Receivables and identifying such Receivables in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all such Receivables (including, without limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of each Purchased Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each such Receivable). The Master Servicer shall give the Agent and the Programme Purchaser notice of any material change in the administrative and operating procedures referred to in the previous sentence. (b) The Master Servicer shall keep a complete and accurate copy of each Offer Letter and each Account Receivables Listing delivered under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or, as the case may be, the Receivables Transfer Agreements. (c) The Master Servicer shall, prior to the offer thereof hereunder, ascertain that each Offered Receivable is an Eligible Receivable. (d) The Master Servicer shall ensure that each Offer Letter meets the Offer Letter Requirements and that, based upon the data set forth in each Account Receivables Listing, the provisions of Section 2.1(b) would not be breached following the purchase of any Receivables offered for sale in any Offer Letter. (e) Following the delivery of an Obligor Notification to an Obligor, neither the AGCO Seller nor the Master Servicer shall, and they shall procure that no Originator (acting as Subservicer or otherwise) shall, amend, supplement or otherwise modify or cancel or revoke such Obligor Notification or any other payment instructions to such Obligor given in accordance with this Agreement and shall not instruct such Obligor to make 37 41 payments in respect of Purchased Receivables to any account other than the account referred to in such Obligor Notification or such instructions. (f) Neither the AGCO Seller nor the Master Servicer shall, and they shall procure that no Originator (acting as Subservicer or otherwise) shall, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy which could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the collectibility of any of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Neither the AGCO Seller nor the Master Servicer shall, and they shall ensure that no Originator (acting as Subservicer or otherwise) shall, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased Receivable or any Contract related thereto any of which could be reasonably expected to affect adversely the collectability of any of the Purchased Receivables or the ability of any Originator or the AGCO Seller to repossess the Equipment or Parts relating to the Purchased Receivables. (g) The Master Servicer shall not permit any Obligor or any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit any Collections other than to an Originator's Account, the AGCO Seller Account, the Programme Purchaser Collection Account or, following the occurrence of a Termination Event, such other account as the Agent may specify. (h) The Master Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Purchased Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in all material respects in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. (i) If at any time, a Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable and, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, the relevant Originator would exercise any right of repossession or other retention of title rights in relation to the Equipment or Parts underlying such Receivable, the Master Servicer shall exercise those rights on behalf of the Programme Purchaser. On repossessing or otherwise recovering such Equipment or Parts, the Master Servicer shall, at its own expense, use all reasonable endeavours to sell such Equipment or Parts promptly at the best price reasonably obtainable. The Master Servicer shall hold any Equipment or Parts repossessed or recovered by it as a result of the exercise of any retention of title rights of the Programme Purchaser on trust for the Programme Purchaser pending sale and shall segregate such Equipment or Parts from its other goods, clearly identifying such Equipment or Parts as being the property of the Programme Purchaser. (j) The Master Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described in this Agreement. Any Collections received or deemed received, at any time, by any Originator, the AGCO Seller or any Subservicer shall be deemed to have been received by the Master Servicer, at such time, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably), all cash constituting Collections and all cheques, Promissory Notes, and other instruments received by it which evidence Purchased Receivables and the proceeds thereof constituting Collections, received by it from time to time, from the general funds of each of the Master Servicer, the AGCO Seller, the Originators and the Subservicers prior to the remittance thereof to the Programme Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. If the Master Servicer is required to segregate Collections, cheques, 38 42 Promissory Notes and other instruments evidencing Purchased Receivables pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall segregate and deposit in an account in the name of the Agent acting for the Programme Purchaser with a bank designated by the Agent such Collections, cheques, Promissory Notes and other instruments on the first Business Day following receipt by the Master Servicer thereof, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer. (k) The Master Servicer may procure that each Originator shall, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Purchased Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable as the Master Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximise Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Purchased Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Programme Purchaser under this Agreement. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Programme Purchaser (or the Agent acting on its behalf) shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Master Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Purchased Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Assets in respect thereof, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to undertake any action that is unlawful in nature. (l) The Master Servicer shall hold, as custodian for the Programme Purchaser, all Records that evidence or relate to the Purchased Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Assets or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Purchased Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Programme Purchaser (or the Agent acting on its behalf), deliver or make available to the Programme Purchaser, all such Records, at a place selected by the Programme Purchaser (or the Agent acting on its behalf). (m) The Master Servicer shall, unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, to the extent permitted by law and as agent of the Programme Purchaser (and in the name of the Programme Purchaser), be obliged to enforce the Programme Purchaser's rights before any court with respect to the enforcement of any Purchased Receivables or Related Assets. SECTION 6.3 Collection Actions. (a) Each of the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer agrees that, from time to time, upon a reasonable request of the Programme Purchaser or the Agent, it shall: (i) take such actions as the Programme Purchaser or the Agent deems necessary or desirable (in each case acting reasonably) to cause all cash constituting Collections and all cheques and other instruments evidencing Purchased Receivables and any Related Assets to come into the possession of the Programme Purchaser or the Agent rather than the AGCO Seller, any Originator or the Master Servicer; (ii) transfer all cash constituting Collections received or deemed received (in accordance with the terms hereof) by the Master Servicer, the AGCO Seller, any Originator or any Subservicer to such accounts as the Programme Purchaser may from time to time specify, with such frequency as the Programme Purchaser may require (acting reasonably); and 39 43 (iii) endorse the Programme Purchaser's name on cheques and other instruments representing Purchased Receivables. SECTION 6.4 Responsibilities of the AGCO Seller, the Originators and the Master Servicer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Programme Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not release the AGCO Seller, any Originator, or any Obligors from any of its duties or obligations with respect to Purchased Receivables or the related Contracts, as applicable. Neither of the Programme Purchaser, the Agent nor any Funding Source shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Purchased Receivables, related Contracts, or Related Assets nor shall any of them be obliged to perform any obligations of the Originators thereunder or in respect thereof. SECTION 6.5 Reports. On each Reporting Date and, following a Potential Termination Event or a Termination Event, at such other times as the Agent may request, the AGCO Seller shall, and the Master Servicer shall procure that the AGCO Seller shall, prepare and forward to the Programme Purchaser Account Receivables Listings for the immediately preceding Reporting Period (or the period of time from the date of delivery of the last Account Receivables Listing, if sooner). The Master Servicer shall provide the AGCO Seller with assistance in such preparation. SECTION 6.6 Master Servicer Fee. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to payment of the Master Servicer Fee with respect to its duties hereunder in respect of each Discount Period on the Settlement Date immediately following the end of such Discount Period. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay itself all outstanding Master Servicer Fees, subject to the amount of Collections available for the purpose pursuant to the terms and priorities set-forth in Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 and subject, in any event, to Section 11.10. The AGCO Seller shall reimburse the Master Servicer for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement. SECTION 6.7 Interim Credit and Collection Policy. To allow for temporary adverse conditions in the agricultural market, the Master Servicer agrees, and agrees to procure that each Originator agrees, where applicable, that during the period from the Signing Date to and including the date falling six months after the Signing Date, it shall not write-off any Purchased Receivables unless: (a) any payment due to be made by the Obligor thereof, or any part of such payment, remains unpaid for a period of 91 days or more from the originally scheduled due date for such payment; or (b) if an Insolvency Event has occurred in respect of such Obligor, either a period of six calendar months after the occurrence of such Insolvency Event has expired or, if such Insolvency Event occurred as a result of the liquidation, winding-up, reorganisation (other than a solvent reorganisation), arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debts (or any analogous event under the relevant jurisdiction) (each, a "Bankruptcy") such Bankruptcy has been fully and finally completed and all assets of such Obligor have been distributed. 40 44 SECTION 6.8 Conclusion of Contracts. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing in the Transaction Documents confers authority upon the Programme Purchaser, and the Programme Purchaser is not conferred with authority, to conclude any Contract in its own name for the sale of Equipment or Parts.

The Parent hereby guarantees to the Agent and the Programme Purchaser the full and punctual (a) performance by the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer of all of the obligations of the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, other than their 47 51 respective payment obligations, under and pursuant to each Transaction Document to which they are, respectively, a party and each other document executed and delivered by any of them pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, any such obligation that the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer fails to fulfil when due by reason of any breach by any Originator or Subservicer of any of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are, respectively, a party and (b) payment by the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer of any amounts due and payable by the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer respectively under Section 2.8 and Section 2.9 (collectively, the "Obligations"). The guarantee made by the Parent pursuant to this Article IX (this "Guarantee") is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer and is in no way conditional upon any requirement that the Agent or the Programme Purchaser first attempt to collect any amounts owing by the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer to the Programme Purchaser or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Programme Purchaser in favour of the AGCO Seller, the Master Servicer or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer default in the performance of any of the Obligations, the Agent or the Programme Purchaser may cause the immediate performance by the Parent of the Obligations and cause any payment Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to the Programme Purchaser or the Agent without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are expressly waived by the Parent. SECTION 9.2 Parent's Further Agreements to Pay. The Parent further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to the Agent and the Programme Purchaser, forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to the Agent and the Programme Purchaser, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by them in connection with this Agreement, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guarantee at a rate equal to the Base Rate from time to time in force plus 2% per annum. SECTION 9.3 Waivers by Parent: Agent's and Programme Purchaser's Freedom to Act. The Parent waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, notice of any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the Programme Purchaser in reliance on this Guarantee, and any requirement that the Agent or the Programme Purchaser be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Guarantee, giving notice of any Potential Termination Event, Termination Event, default or omission by the AGCO Seller or asserting any other rights of the Agent or the Programme Purchaser under this Guarantee. The Parent also irrevocably waives all defences that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect. Each of the Agent and the Programme Purchaser shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of the Parent, to deal with the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as the Agent or the Programme Purchaser in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end the Parent agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Guarantee shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: 48 52 (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Potential Termination Event or Termination Event or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guarantee even though the Programme Purchaser or the Agent might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of such payment Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Guarantee; (g) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer in connection herewith or with any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer or any Originator to perform or comply with any term of any Transaction Document or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not the Parent shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in clauses (a) to (i) above. SECTION 9.4 Unenforceability of Obligations Against the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer or the Parent to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Guarantee, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Guarantee; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer for any other reason other than final payment in 49 53 full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Guarantee shall nevertheless be binding on the Parent. This Guarantee shall be in addition to any other guarantee or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guarantee or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations, such amounts then due and owing under the terms of any Transaction Document, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable by the Parent. SECTION 9.5 Subrogation; Subordination. The Parent shall not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of any Programme Purchaser against the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of the Programme Purchaser and the Agent against the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and claims which the Parent might now have or hereafter acquire against the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer that arises from the existence or performance of the Parent's obligations hereunder. The Parent will not claim any set off or counterclaim against the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer in respect of any liability of the Parent to the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer. The Parent waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Agent or the Programme Purchaser. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer now or hereafter owed to the Parent is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations. The Parent agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the Parent will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer to the guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Parent shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by the Parent as trustee for the Agent and the Programme Purchaser and be paid over to the Agent on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the Parent under the other provisions of this Guarantee. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of the Agent and the Programme Purchaser may at any time and from time to time enter into with the Parent. SECTION 9.6 Termination of Guarantee. The Parent's obligations under this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and this Agreement is terminated, provided that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the AGCO Seller or the Master Servicer or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not the Agent is in possession of this Guarantee. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defence to or claim against the obligations of the Parent under this Guarantee. 50 54 SECTION 9.7 Effect of Insolvency. This Guarantee shall survive the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to the AGCO Seller and the Master Servicer. SECTION 9.8 Set-off. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations, each of the Agent and the Programme Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Parent (any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply such deposits and other sums against the obligations of the Parent under this Guarantee, whether or not the Agent or the Programme Purchaser shall have made any demand under this Guarantee and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. SECTION 9.9 Taxes. (a) All payments to be made by the Parent under this Guarantee shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If the Parent is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Agent and the Programme Purchaser receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made. (b) If the Parent makes a payment under clause (a) above and the Programme Purchaser or the Agent (as applicable) determines that it has received or been granted a credit against or relief from or remission for or repayment of any tax paid by the Parent in respect of the deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, the Programme Purchaser or the Agent (as applicable) shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Parent such amount as the Programme Purchaser or the Agent (as applicable) shall have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding. Any payment made by the Programme Purchaser or the Agent under this clause (b) shall be conclusive evidence of the amount due to the Parent under this clause (b) and shall be accepted by the Parent in full and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement under this clause (b). Nothing in this clause (b) shall interfere with the right of the Programme Purchaser and the Agent to arrange its affairs (including its tax affairs) in such manner as it thinks fit and, in particular, neither the Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall be under any obligation to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liabilities in respect of the amount of such deduction or payment in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it. Neither the Programme Purchaser nor the Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information or computations relating to its tax affairs to any Person. SECTION 9.10 Further Assurances. The Parent agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of the Agent and the Programme Purchaser, provide to the Agent and the Programme Purchaser information relating to the business and affairs of the Parent as the Agent and the Programme Purchaser 51 55 may reasonably request. The Parent also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as the Agent and the Programme Purchaser may consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Guarantee and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of the Agent and the Programme Purchaser under this Guarantee.

The dealer documentation, credit processing and collections for all of Massey Ferguson equipment and for Fendt equipment sold in Spain and France outside of Germany (herein referred to as the "Massey Equipment Pool") is located in Coventry. The dealer documentation and processing for Fendt equipment sold in Germany is located in Marktoberdorf (herein referred to as the "Fendt Equipment Pool"). An experienced group of senior executive officers with considerable industry and management experience and a group of divisional managers who are career professionals manage the company. Each legal jurisdiction within the Massey Equipment Pool (France, Germany, and Spain) is supervised by a different credit manager. DEALER RELATIONSHIPS Fully assembled tractors and other equipment are marketed in most major Western European markets through a network of approximately 2,400 independent Massey Ferguson and Fendt dealer outlets and agricultural cooperatives. In certain markets of Western Europe, AGCO sells equipment through independent distributors and associates, who then distribute the equipment through approximately 800 Massey Ferguson and Fendt dealers. In some cases, dealers carry competing or complementary products from other manufacturers. The payment terms for both the Massey and Fendt Equipment Pools can vary based on equipment type, agricultural product and particulars of the harvest season for the crop. The terms of AGCO's finance agreements with its dealers typically do not require dealers to make a down payment and effectively provide the dealer with the equipment interest-free for a period of one to 6 months, depending on the product. Thereafter, dealers are charged interest until the product is sold. To become an AGCO dealer, dealers must meet certain eligibility criteria and become a party to an AGCO Limited Farm Machinery Agreement. A copy of the AGCO Farm Machinery Dealer Agreement is on file. The Agreement is summarized below: The Agreement commits AGCO to sell to the Dealer and provide marketing support and training; AGCO is committed to sell to the Dealers, however, the terms of the sale are at AGCO's discretion. AGCO has the right to change its prices, terms, discounts, and any other pricing provision at any time without notice to the Dealer and the price and terms that apply will be those in effect on the date of the invoice of the product sold. The Dealer has 30 days to notify AGCO of claims of shortages or defective products that the Dealer receives. After 30 days, AGCO is generally not responsible for shortages or defective products. No product returns to AGCO from the Dealer are allowed without AGCO's prior authorization. Dealer pays all transportation costs for the return. 68 137 Payment in full for wholegoods is due upon the end of the payment term whether or not the product has been retailed with the exception of Massey Ferguson equipment sold in Germany that requires payment in full for the wholegoods at the earlier of retail sale or the end of the payment term. AGCO may refuse to sell or deliver products to the Dealer when AGCO believes the Dealer's financial condition does not warrant further sale or deliveries. AGCO obtains a security interest in the equipment sold to the Dealer and for all present and future direct or indirect indebtedness that may be or become owed by the Dealer to AGCO. Dealers are sometimes required to sign personal guarantees on all obligations of the business. AGCO reserves the right to declare all balances of the account due and payable immediately if for any reason it deems it necessary for the protection of its interests. No cash discounts or payment by AGCO to the Dealer will be made so long as any of the indebtedness, whether secured by collateral or otherwise, is past due. AGCO reserves the right to apply any payment made to the oldest past due account. It should be noted that while assets in the U.S. securitization facility are built and shipped to the dealer for extended periods before the buyer is identified, European equipment is built to order either for the final customer or for the dealer. Dealer relationships are very different for the Fendt Equipment Pool and the Massey Equipment Pool. FENDT EQUIPMENT POOL Fendt distributes equipment in Germany mainly through a network of 12 dealers that are large, financially sound and highly Dun & Bradstreet rated cooperatives. These cooperatives/dealers cover different regions in Germany and sell only within their regions. Last dealer was terminated in 1996. Only 15-20% of cooperatives' sales are concentrated in the agricultural sector. BayWa AG, the largest cooperative, represents approximately 5% of the total European portfolio and carries the highest credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet. A brief narrative by Dun & Bradstreet of BayWa AG is on file. The dealers generally have only demo units on stock. The equipment is built to order for the final customer and Fendt rarely sells two completely identical units. The inventory is small, and if the market slows down, Fendt can react immediately and cut down on production. Fendt currently has orders of about 2,500 units, which translates into 2.5 months of production. Given the pre-orders, high demand for Fendt products, and the dealer's financial strength, dealer default is virtually non-existent. MASSEY EQUIPMENT POOL Massey Ferguson generally builds equipment to order for its dealers in France, Germany and Spain. Although this does not guarantee that a dealer has a customer lined up for each unit, the history of negligible losses and practically no dealer terminations, demonstrates that dealers can estimate and manage their sales. DEALER TERMS While the U.S. securitization facility contains both new and used equipment, Fendt and Massey Ferguson finance only new equipment. A general summary of the different terms offered by AGCO on new equipment is described below. The Terms and Discounts can change, and do change, annually. The following are certain summarized terms for both equipment lines (amongst others): 69 138 Dealer must make payment immediately at the time of retail sale, or show written proof of a pre-approved retail-financing contract in process. Dealer's trade discount is the difference between the net dealer price and the suggested list price as stated in the AGCO price list, which is effectuated on the date of the invoice. Cash discounts and subsidized financing may be offered to the Dealer by AGCO. Demo unit discounts are offered to the Dealer. For Massey Ferguson, equipment dealers are typically given a discount of a minimum of 20%. Additional discounts are given to promote particular models. Volume bonuses are seldom employed. Instead, dealers subscribe to business plans, which provide additional discounts for achieving retail penetration and maintaining stock levels and pre agreed dealer standards. Fendt equipment dealers get a volume discount in addition to a base discount of 21.7%. Volume discounts depend on the amount of units that the Dealer sells. The bonus percentage generally is around 4.7%. Any volume bonus earned on eligible volume will be applied to any past due amount provided there is enough volume bonus earned during the period to cover the past due amount. If not, the Dealer agrees to pay the past due amounts by the end of December. If not paid, volume bonus is not applied to cover the past due indebtedness and the Dealer will receive no volume bonus. Periodically, AGCO offers special sales programs and special discounts in addition to the plans discussed in this section. SUMMARY OF PAYMENT TERMS Payment terms of the European portfolio are much shorter than payment terms of the U.S. portfolio. The term for the majority of the equipment (approximately 80%) sold in all European jurisdictions ranges from 30 days to 60 days, with the exception of Spain whose tractors have payment terms up to 90 days. In Germany, dealers get an additional 2% discount for Fendt equipment sold and paid for within 14 days. Similarly, in France, dealers receive a discount for early settlement. Longer terms are generally applied to combines and balers due to the seasonality of the equipment. Payments on combines are due on September 30th or October 30th of each year. Lawn and garden machinery in France are payable in three curtailments of 20%, 30% and 50% due in March 31st, April 30th, and May 31st, accordingly. Certain demo units have payment terms of 6 months. A copy of AGCO's Wholegoods Schedule of Terms and Discounts is on file. UNDERWRITING/CREDIT ANALYSIS Marktoberdorf Karlheinz Graf who has over 30 years of experience with Fendt heads the credit department. Credit managers review quarterly reports from Dun & Bradstreet for every dealer (most of the dealers are highly rated by D&B). Additionally, credit managers review bank reports on 70 139 the dealers, which they receive monthly. At the end of the year, the credit department gets information from the marketing department on the industry outlook and the credit line gets adjusted accordingly. When the credit limit is exceeded, the credit manager can not authorize any additional shipments until the payment is received. Coventry The new credit department in Coventry was formed in 1997 following a decision by AGCO to centralize the accounts receivable/credit control functions performed by its Massey Ferguson sales operations in France, Germany and Spain. The accounts receivable/credit control function for Fendt products sold in France and Spain is also centralized in Coventry. Massey Ferguson averages about 5 new dealers each year. The credit department is responsible for the approval of New Dealer contracts, extension of credit and the collection of receivables. Kevin Randall, who has over 25 years of experience at Massey Ferguson, heads the credit department. The credit staff consists of 9 credit officers who joined the company before the final centralization date and were therefore able to spend time with the internal staff of the sales operations to familiarize themselves with the receivable portfolio. Since centralization, the staff has been trained both internally and externally. A copy of Finance Organization - Credit & Banking for 2000 is on file. For the Massey Ferguson equipment monitored in Coventry, AGCO uses an integrated Sales Order Processing / Accounting software package, which automatically credit checks all orders prior to shipment. Any orders due for release, which will result in accounts receivables exceeding a credit limit, are automatically placed on hold. The relevant credit control analyst is responsible for releasing the order from credit hold. A New Dealer application will usually come from the local sales teams. The following documents will be requested in order to process a credit request: 1) a complete credit application, 2) current financial statements, 3) business plan, and 4) personal information of the principals. The credit department will pull a Dun & Bradstreet profile. Once the approval is received, the dealer will be notified and can begin placing orders. A dealer will be given a credit line. All major orders are manually released ("credit released") by one of the Area Credit Managers. Orders are not shipped without the credit release. Once an order is approved and released, an invoice is created. At point of sale, Massey Ferguson sets up a reserve to accrue for discounts. A Credit File is created for the dealer that will include financial statements, a credit application, personal profiles and the Dun & Bradstreet report. The turnaround time from credit request to final approval can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Fendt products sold in France are processed through another system and all credit checking and order releasing is performed manually. At the end of each month, the credit department produces a summary aged debt analysis for all markets together with a commentary on overdue receivables. CREDIT AUTHORITY For both the Fendt and Massey Equipment Pools, the credit manager will determine the appropriate credit line, taking into account information from the marketing managers regarding orders and market conditions. Requests for increases to current credit limits are 71 140 supported 90% of the time. On new deals, Kevin Randall authorizes the credit request for the Massey Equipment Pool. On existing deals, Kevin Randall (Massey Equipment Pool) and Karlheinz Graf (Fendt Equipment Pool) have final say on all credit requests, regardless of the size of the line. CREDIT MONITORING For both the Fendt and Massey Equipment Pools, credit managers must approve each order placed by a Dealer when the credit line is insufficient. Each account is reviewed once a year or if there is a request for an increase in the credit limit. Financial statements are requested on an annual basis. An updated credit report may be obtained and payment history is reviewed. The Area Credit Managers are responsible for the annual review. In addition to credit monitoring, the Sales Territory Managers will perform a physical inventory audit for selected dealers whose operations show any signs of deterioration (e.g. late payments, lower sales volumes, etc.) SERVICING/NORMAL COLLECTION PROCEDURES For both the Fendt and Massey Equipment Pools, an invoice is generated once the equipment is shipped or when the dealer is notified to pick up the equipment. Invoices are mailed out of one of the two servicing centers located in Coventry and Marktoberdorf. Collection methods vary by the region, as follows. In France, the majority of payments on wholegoods are collected by electronic LCR (Bill of Exchange) and parts are collected by direct debit. Dealers who pay by cheque send their remittances to AGCO's Beauvais office. Some deals are financed, so the finance companies transfer funds directly to AGCO's bank. In Germany, Fendt / Massey Ferguson equipment dealers pay by bank transfer or cheque for wholegoods. For parts, dealers pay either by direct debit (weekly) or cheque. Similar to France, some deals in Germany are financed, so the finance companies transfer funds directly to AGCO's bank. In Spain, dealers pay for wholegoods either by bank transfer or by cheque. Cheques are sent to a lockbox. For parts, dealers pay by direct debit. Credit and Collection is the responsibility of the credit department and the credit managers. Collection efforts are part of a continuous process of maintaining close communication links with the dealers. More strenuous collection activities begin immediately following the end of the month for dealers that did not pay the previous month's charges. A telephone call initiates the process. The credit personnel must determine whether the non-payment was an oversight, a posting problem or an inability to pay. If it was an oversight, a follow up for payment is recorded. If it was a posting error, a speedy resolution is achieved. If it is a collection problem, then the account is referred to the Area Credit Manager. The dealer of a past due item unresolved by the 15th to 20th of the month will be contacted by telephone a second time to achieve final resolution. If payment is not received following the second message, then the dealers' accounts will be placed on "STOP", which means no further deliveries will be made until a payment is received. Persistent late payers are advised that failure to settle their account by the due date will automatically result in their account being 72 141 placed on "STOP". The Area Credit Manager is responsible for placing a dealer on "STOP" status after reviewing notes from previous attempts to collect. CASH APPLICATION Cash Management is centralized in Marktoberdorf for the Fendt Equipment Pool. Cash flow peaks at month end and carries over into the first days of the subsequent month as dealer receivables are collected. Daily deposits are collected in the local accounts and are subsequently wire-transferred to the central account. For the Massey Equipment Pool, cash management for Spain and Germany is centralized in Coventry, while day-to-day cash management for France is handled in Beauvais. Cash flow peaks at month end and carries over into the first days of the subsequent month as dealer receivables are collected. European dealer receivables are collected by a variety of methods (wire transfer, cheque, direct debit etc.) into local banks. Cash is concentrated by means of wire transfers initiated by the Treasury Department. Surplus cash is remitted to AGCO Services Ltd. the UK based treasury company, from which payments are made to repay local overdrafts, or syndicate debt, as appropriate. PROBLEM ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT For the Fendt and Massey Equipment Pools, collection efforts are part of a continuous collection process. Dealers with repeated collection problems may be placed on "STOP" at that point (credit manager decision). At the end of the month, the credit manager will determine the dealers still past due for "STOP" status. A "STOP" fax letter will be sent to the dealer and the territory manager and the regional sales manager will be notified. Dealer central and field personnel are notified and the territory manager will perform a site visit. Normally, after the site visit, the payment is made. Fendt The last default in the Fendt Equipment Pool occurred over 10 years ago. As such, although the problem account management procedures are set up for Fendt, they have not been used in the past 5 years. As a precaution, Fendt maintains a minimum of DEM1.3 million (EUR0.7 million) in bad debt reserves. Massey For the Massey Equipment Pool dealer terminations happen about once a year per jurisdiction. A dealer that continues to be delinquent after exhausting collection efforts will be sent a "Legal" letter that may involve termination of agreement and even repossession. The Dealer is confronted and AGCO will move all the equipment out of the lot. If AGCO is not made whole, an AGCO representative will contact the dealer to work out an agreement/schedule. AGCO will commence legal action when all other means are exhausted. Kevin Randall determines which accounts are to be reserved for bad debt in Coventry. 73 142 EXHIBIT XII RELEVANT ADDRESSES
