AGCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina that manufactures and distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts within Argentina. As of June 30, 2018, on the basis of currently available data related to inflation indices and as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso relative to the United States dollar, the Argentinian economy was determined to be highly inflationary. A highly inflationary economy is one where the cumulative inflation rate for the three years preceding the beginning of the reporting period, including interim reporting periods, is in excess of 100 percent. In accordance with this designation and based on the guidance in ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, the Company changed the functional currency of its wholly-owned subsidiary from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar effective July 1, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina had net sales of approximately $21.3 million and total assets of approximately $110.7 million as of September 30, 2018 . The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the Argentine peso were approximately $25.2 million and approximately $11.0 million , respectively, as of September 30, 2018 . The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured based on current published exchange rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
        
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”). The standard revises the annual disclosure requirements by removing disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying specific requirements of disclosures and adding certain disclosures identified as relevant. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to early adopt the standard for the year ended December 31, 2018, and that the adoption will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
    
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). The standard revises the disclosure requirements by removing disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, modifying specific requirements of disclosures and adding certain disclosures identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments of the standard should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments of the standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”), which allows for the election to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”)on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as “stranded tax effects.” The amendments within ASU 2018-02 only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Certain disclosures are required in the period of adoption as to whether an entity has elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The standard should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. corporate income

tax rate in the 2017 Tax Act is recognized. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”), which aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedge relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments include 1) the ability to apply hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk, 2) new alternatives for measuring the hedged item for fair value hedges of interest rate risk, 3) elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, 4) requirement to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported and 5) less stringent requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and applying the critical terms match method. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The amendments should be applied to existing hedging relationships on the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost be included in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. The other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost are required to be classified outside the subtotal of income from operations. Of the components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, only the service cost component will be eligible for asset capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a retrospective approach for the presentation of the service cost component and other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in the statement of operations; and a prospective approach for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in assets. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. ASU 2017-07 allows a practical expedient for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied the standard to the presentation of the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As part of the adoption, the Company elected to use the practical expedient, which allowed the Company to use the information previously disclosed as the basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements of the standard. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company reclassified approximately $0.1 million of expense related to the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement costs from “Selling, general and administrative expenses” and “Engineering expenses” to “Other expenses, net.” as a result of the restrospective application of ASU 2017-07.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the standard, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, resulting in an impairment charge that is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment charge, however, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit. The impairment assessment under ASU 2017-04 applies to all reporting units, including those with a zero or negative carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.
    
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. This standard will likely impact the results of operations and financial condition of the Company’s finance joint ventures and as a result, will likely impact the Company’s “Investment in affiliates” and “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” upon adoption. The Company’s finance joint ventures are currently evaluating the standard’s impact to their results of operations and financial condition.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
(unaudited)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the existing lease guidance under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is based on the principle that entities should recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases. The new standard does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard and leases continue to be classified as finance or operating. ASU 2016-02’s primary change is the requirement for entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term of an operating lease arrangement. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessors’ accounting under the new standard is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, ASU 2016-02 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements”, which allows for a new, optional transition method that provides the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. Under this option, the comparative periods would continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 840, including the disclosure requirements, and a cumulative effect adjustment would be recognized in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented.  Under this transition option, comparative reporting would not be required and the provisions of the standard would be applied prospectively to leases in effect at the date of adoption. The Company is currently working to complete the design of new processes and internal controls, which include the implementation of a software solution and finalizing the evaluation of the Company’s population of leased assets to assess the effect of the new guidance on the Company’s financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to “Retained earnings” as of the beginning of the period of adoption.  The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company expects to elect the “package of practical expedients” which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.  The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements (the latter is not applicable to the Company).  The Company expects the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. While the Company continues to assess all of the effects of the adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for operating leases, as well as providing significant new disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities.  The Company does not expect material changes in its leasing activities between now and adoption.  The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting for leases.  The Company currently expects to elect the short-term lease exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for a majority of its leases, other than real estate and office equipment leases. 
           
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers with a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures also are required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments. Entities have the option to apply the new standard under a full retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented, or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initial adoption and application within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. 

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 with an application date of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this method, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2018 within “Retained earnings.” The cumulative effect was approximately $0.4 million , which was related to the recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities for the value of the expected replacement parts returns. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition.” The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are discussed below.

The Company has enhanced its accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls, as well as designed and implemented specific internal controls over the implementation and adherence to the standard, including new disclosure requirements.

Replacement Parts Returns
    
The Company has various promotional and annual return programs with respect to the sale of replacement parts whereby the Company’s dealers, distributors and other customers can return specified replacement parts pursuant to such programs. The Company previously recognized revenue for the sale of replacement parts and recorded a corresponding provision for the amount of expected returns at the time of sale. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company recognized a contract asset for the right to recover returned replacement parts at cost, reflected within “Other current assets” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Conversely, the provision for expected returns is recorded at the sales value of expected returns, reflected as a contract liability within “Accrued expenses.”  The Company’s estimates of returns are based on the terms of the promotional and annual return programs and anticipated returns in the future.

The following table summarizes the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company’ s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 (in millions):

2.     RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Beginning in 2014 through 2018, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and various administrative offices located in Europe, South America, China and the United States in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and lower production volumes. The aggregate headcount reduction was approximately 3,370 employees between 2014 and 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company recorded severance and related costs associated with further rationalizations in Europe, China, South America and the United States, in connection with the termination of approximately 460 employees.

1.056% Senior Term Loan

In December 2014, the Company entered into a term loan with the European Investment Bank, which provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to €200.0 million . The €200.0 million (or approximately $231.6 million as of September 30, 2018 ) of funding was received on January 15, 2015 with a maturity date of January 15, 2020. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 1.056% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility as of September 30, 2018 consisted of an $800.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a €312.0 million (or approximately $361.3 million as of September 30, 2018 ) term loan facility. The maturity date of the credit facility was June 26, 2020. Under the credit facility agreement, interest accrued on amounts outstanding, at the Company’s option, depending on the currency borrowed, at either (1) LIBOR or EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% , and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in U.S. dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As is more fully described in Note 10 , the Company entered into an interest rate swap in 2015 to convert the term loan facility’s floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin over the remaining life of the term loan facility. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had $390.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and the ability to borrow approximately $771.0 million under the facility. Approximately $29.0 million was outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and €312.0 million (or approximately $361.3 million ) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of September 30, 2018 . As of December 31, 2017 , approximately $97.0 million was outstanding under the Company’s multi-currency revolving credit facility, and the Company had the ability to borrow approximately $703.0 million under the facility. Approximately €312.0 million (or approximately $374.2 million ) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2017 .

During 2015, the Company designated its €312.0 million ( $361.3 million as of September 30, 2018 ) term loan facility as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. See Note 10 for additional information about the net investment hedge.

On October 17, 2018 the Company entered into a new credit facility agreement, consisting of a multi-currency revolving credit facility of $800.0 million . The maturity date of the new credit facility is October 17, 2023. Under the new credit facility agreement, the Company’s credit spread is based on the Company’s published long-term debt rating. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at the Company’s option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% based on the Company’s credit rating, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% , and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in US dollars plus 1.0% , plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.875% based on the Company’s

credit rating. The new credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. In connection with the closing of new credit facility in October 2018, the Company also repaid its outstanding €312.0 million ( $361.3 million as of September 30, 2018 ) term loan under its previous revolving credit and term loan facility discussed above. The Company recorded approximately $0.9 million associated with the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the repayment.

Senior Term Loans Due 2021

In April 2016, the Company entered into two term loan agreements with Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”), in the amount of €100.0 million and €200.0 million , respectively. The provisions of the two term loans were identical in nature. In December 2017, the Company repaid its €200.0 million (or approximately $239.8 million ) term loan. The Company's €100.0 million (or approximately $115.8 million as of September 30, 2018 ) remains outstanding. The Company had the ability to prepay the term loans before their maturity date on April 26, 2021. Interest is payable on the remaining term loan per annum, paid quarterly in arrears, equal to the EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. 

5 7 / 8 %  Senior Notes

The Company’s 5 7 / 8 % senior notes due December 1, 2021 constituted senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest was payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears. At any time prior to September 1, 2021, the Company could redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date at the treasury rate plus 0.5% , plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. Beginning September 1, 2021, the Company could redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. As is more fully described in Note 10 , the Company entered into an interest rate swap in 2015 to convert the senior notes’ fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate over the remaining life of the senior notes. During 2016, the Company terminated the interest rate swap. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred gain of approximately $7.3 million associated with the termination, which is being amortized as a reduction to “Interest expense, net” over the remaining term of the 5 7 / 8 % senior notes through December 1, 2021.

In May 2018, the Company completed a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 5 7 / 8 % senior notes at a cash purchase price of $1,077.50 per $1,000.00 of senior notes. As a result of the tender offer, the Company repurchased approximately $185.9 million of principal amount of the senior notes for approximately $200.3 million , plus accrued interest. The repurchase resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $15.7 million , including associated fees. The Company also recorded approximately $3.0 million of accelerated amortization of the deferred gain related to the terminated interest rate swap instrument associated with the senior notes discussed above. Both the loss on extinguishment and the accelerated amortization were reflected in “Interest expense, net,” for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the unamortized portion of the deferred gain was approximately $1.7 million and $5.3 million , respectively. The amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $0.1 million and $3.6 million , respectively. The amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million , respectively.
In October 2018, the Company repurchased the remaining principal amount of the senior notes of approximately $114.1 million for approximately $122.5 million , plus accrued interest. The repurchase resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $8.8 million , including associated fees. The Company also recorded approximately $1.7 million of accelerated amortization of the deferred gain related to the terminated interest rate swap instrument associated with the senior notes discussed above. Both the loss on extinguishment and the accelerated amortization will be reflected in “Interest expense, net,” for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Senior Term Loans Due Between 2019 and 2028
On August 1, 2018, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of indebtedness of €338.0 million (or approximately $394.7 million ) through a group of seven related term loan agreements. Proceeds from the borrowings were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

In aggregate, the Company has indebtedness of €713.0 million (or approximately $825.7 million as of September 30, 2018 ) through a group of fourteen related term loan agreements, inclusive of the seven agreements discussed above. The provisions of the term loan agreements are identical in nature, with the exception of interest rate terms and maturities. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loans before their maturity dates. For the term loans with a fixed interest rate, interest is payable in arrears on an annual basis, with interest rates ranging from 0.70% to 2.26% and a maturity date between October 2019 and August 2028. For the term loans with a floating interest rate, interest is payable in arrears on a semi-annual basis, with interest rates based on the EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.25% and a maturity date between October 2019 and August 2025.

Short-Term Borrowings

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had short-term borrowings due within one year of approximately $181.3 million and $90.8 million , respectively.
Standby Letters of Credit and Similar Instruments

The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , outstanding letters of credit totaled $14.1 million and $15.2 million , respectively.

8.     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding SSARs and the vesting of performance share awards and RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

9.     INCOME TAXES

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had approximately $160.1 million and $163.4 million , respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had approximately $56.8 million and $61.8 million , respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $25.2 million and $23.0 million , respectively. Generally, tax years 2012 through 2017 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions.
    
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was enacted in the United States. The 2017 Tax Act includes a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, including a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.  The 2017 Tax Act also provides for a one-time transition tax on certain foreign earnings and the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017, as well as prospective changes beginning in 2018, including the repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction, capitalization of research and development expenditures, additional limitations on executive compensation and limitations on the deductibility of interest. 

In 2017, the Company recorded a provision in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which provides SEC Staff guidance for the application of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, in the reporting period in which the 2017 Tax Act was

20

Table of Contents
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
(unaudited)

enacted. The provision reflected both the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 was complete as well as provisional amounts for those specific income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is incomplete but a reasonable estimate was determined. The Company did not identify any items for which the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act had not been completed and a reasonable estimate could not be determined as of December 31, 2017 .

The Company is in the process of finalizing its calculations with respect to the tax reform legislation. The final impact of the tax reform legislation may differ due to factors such as refinement of the Company’s calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions that the Company and its advisors have made, and additional guidance that may be issued in the future by the U.S. and state governments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company did not make any material adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017 .

The Company has previously established valuation allowances to fully or partially reserve against certain net deferred tax assets in several jurisdictions, including the United States. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determines in certain cases that adjustments to the valuation allowances are appropriate. In making these assessments, all available evidence is considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets, net of any applicable valuation allowances, in future years.

10.     DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 150  countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound.
    
The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars may be partially hedged from time to time. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.

The Company uses floating rate and fixed rate debt to finance its operations. The floating rate debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in the EURIBOR and LIBOR benchmark interest rates. The Company believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments, and to meet that objective, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings. The Company designates interest rate contracts used to convert the interest rate exposure on a portion of the Company’s debt portfolio from a floating rate to a fixed rate as cash flow hedges, while those contracts converting the Company’s interest rate exposure from a fixed rate to a floating rate are designated as fair value hedges.

To protect the value of the Company’s investment in foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company from time to time, may hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in the foreign subsidiaries by using a cross currency swap. The component of the gains and losses on the Company’s net investment in the designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically offset by movements in the fair value of the cross currency swap contracts.

The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (2) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items or the net investment hedges in foreign operations. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

The Company categorizes its derivative assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. See Note 14 for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy as per the guidance in ASC 820. The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Counterparty Risk

The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company will cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.

Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Cost of goods sold” during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions.
    
During 2018 , the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was $109.3 million and $96.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Contract     

The Company monitors the mix of short-term and long-term debt regularly. From time to time, the Company manages the risk to interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. During 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of €312.0 million (or approximately $361.3 million at September 30, 2018 ) and an expiration date of June 26, 2020. The swap was designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin, and the counterparty to the agreement pays a floating interest rate based on the three-month EURIBOR.

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Interest expense, net” as a rate adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the Company’s floating rate term loan facility affects earnings.

As a result of the Company’s new credit facility agreement and related terms therein as well as the change in the mix of short-term and long-term debt, the Company terminated the interest rate swap contract on October 22, 2018 and recorded a loss of approximately $3.9 million which will be reflected in “Interest expense, net” for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 5 for further information.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt that results from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. During 2016, the Company terminated an interest rate swap transaction with a notional amount of $300.0 million and received cash proceeds of approximately $7.3 million . The resulting gain was deferred and was being amortized as a reduction to “Interest expense, net” over the remaining term of the Company’s 5 7 / 8 % senior notes through December 1, 2021. During 2018, the remaining unamortized gain was recognized primarily through accelerated amortization due to the repurchase of the 5 7 / 8 % senior notes as is more fully described in Note 5 .

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses non-derivative and derivative instruments, to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. For instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, to offset changes in the value of the net investments being hedged. When the net investment in foreign operations is sold or substantially liquidates, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings. To the extent foreign currency denominated debt is de-designated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

During 2015, the Company designated its €312.0 million (or approximately $361.3 million as of September 30, 2018 ) term loan facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2020 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. In October 2018, the Company repaid the term loan facility and the foreign currency denominated debt was de-designated as a net investment hedge. Refer to Note 5 for further information.

In January 2018, the Company entered into a cross currency swap contract as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. The cross currency swap has an expiration date of January 19, 2021. At maturity of the cross currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of approximately €245.7 million (or approximately $284.5 million as of September 30, 2018 ) and will receive $300.0 million from the counterparties. The Company will receive quarterly interest payments from the counterparties based on a fixed interest rate until maturity of the cross currency swap.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2018 and 2017 , the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to economically hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged and are immediately recognized into earnings. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,332.9 million and $1,701.4 million , respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , through open market transactions, the Company repurchased 534,403 shares of its common stock for approximately $34.3 million at an average price paid of $64.14 per share. Repurchased shares were retired on the date of purchase, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $50.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received approximately 638,978 shares during the three months ended September 30, 2018 related to the ASR agreement. The specific number of shares the Company ultimately repurchased was determined at the completion of the term of the ASR based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASR, the Company was entitled to receive additional shares of common stock or, under certain circumstances, was required to remit a settlement amount. In October 2018, the Company received an additional 197,848 shares of common stock upon final settlement of the ASR. All shares received under the ASR were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 30, 2018 , the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased was approximately $247.1 million , of which $215.7 million expires in December 2019 and $31.4 million has no expiration date.

12.     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

The Company has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. As of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.3 billion .

Under the terms of the accounts receivable agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil, the Company pays an annual servicing fee related to the servicing of the receivables sold. The Company also pays the respective AGCO Finance entities a subsidized interest payment with respect to the sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the sales agreements. These fees were reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.
Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $6.7 million and $24.2 million , respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $10.3 million and $27.5 million , respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

The Company’s finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , these finance joint ventures had approximately $50.3 million and $41.6 million , respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company reviewed its accounting for these arrangements and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

14.     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company categorizes its pension plan assets into one of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company enters into foreign currency, interest rate swap and cross currency swap contracts. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these discounted cash flow valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable exchange rates, forward rates or interest rates. Such models used for option contracts also use implied volatility. See Note 10 for a discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are summarized below (in millions):

Short-term borrowings are valued at their carrying amounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.     

The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 1.056% senior term loan, credit facility, senior term loans due 2021 and senior term loans due between 2019 and 2028 (Note  5 ) approximate fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At  September 30, 2018  and  December 31, 2017 , the estimated fair value of the Company’s 5 7 / 8 % senior notes (Note  5 ), based on their listed market values, was approximately $119.8 million  and  $324.7 million , respectively, compared to its carrying value of $115.8 million and $305.3 million , respectively.

15.     SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

16.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. finance joint venture, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with its U.S. finance joint venture, AGCO Finance LLC, which limits the Company’s purchase obligations under this arrangement to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. The Company believes that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.

At September 30, 2018 , the Company has outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $28.9 million , primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2022 . The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees historically have been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would expect to be able to recover a significant portion of the amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment is expected to be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid. In addition, at September 30, 2018 , the Company had accrued approximately $12.1 million of outstanding guarantees of minimum residual values that may be owed to its finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada due upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users.

The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Legal Claims and Other Matters

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) of Victoria, Australia issued a notice to the Company’s Australian subsidiary regarding remediation of contamination of a property located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The property was owned and divested by the subsidiary before the subsidiary was acquired by the Company. The Australian subsidiary is in correspondence with the EPA concerning the notice. The notice was voluntarily withdrawn by the EPA in March 2018, but may be refiled in the future.
In August 2008, as part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through September 30, 2018 , not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $32.9 million ). The amount ultimately in dispute will be greater because of interest and penalties. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.

The Company is a party to various other legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.

17.     REVENUE

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control over goods or services to a dealer, distributor or other customer. The amount of revenue recognized is measured as the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services pursuant to a contract with the customer. A contract exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order under a dealer sales agreement, or once the Company enters into a contract with an end user. The Company does not recognize revenue in cases where collectability is not probable, and defers the recognition until collection is probable or payment is received.

The Company generates revenue from the manufacture and distribution of agricultural equipment and replacement parts. Sales of equipment and replacement parts, which represents a majority of the Company’s net sales, are recorded by the Company at the point in time when title and control have been transferred to an independent dealer, distributor or other customer. Title generally passes to the dealer or distributor upon shipment or specified delivery, and the risk of loss upon damage, theft or destruction of the equipment is the responsibility of the dealer, distributor or designated third-party carrier. The Company believes control passes and the performance obligation is satisfied at the point of the stated shipping or delivery term with respect to such sales.

The amount of consideration the Company receives and the revenue recognized varies with certain sales incentives the Company offers to dealers and distributors. Estimates for sales incentives are made at the time of sale for existing incentive programs using the expected value method. These estimates are revised in the event of subsequent modification to the incentive program.

Dealers or distributors may not return equipment or replacement parts while its contract with the Company is in force, except for under established promotional and annual replacement parts return programs. At the time of sale, the Company estimates the amount of returns based on the terms of promotional and annual return programs and anticipated returns in the future.

Sales and other related taxes are excluded from the transaction price. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized in “Cost of goods sold” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company applied the practical expedient in ASU 2014-09 to not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a contract with a dealer, distributor or other customer for the time value of money when the difference between the receipt of payment and the recognition of revenue is less than one year.

Although, substantially all revenue is recognized at a point in time, a relatively insignificant amount of installation revenue associated with the sale of grain storage and protein production systems is recognized on an “over time” basis as discussed below. The Company also recognizes revenue “over time” with respect to extended warranty or maintenance contracts and certain technology services. Generally, all of the contracts with customers that relate to “over time” revenue recognition have contract durations of less than 12 months.

Grain Storage and Protein Production Systems Installation Revenue. In certain countries, the Company sells grain storage and protein production systems where the Company is responsible for construction and installation, and the sale is contingent upon customer acceptance. Under these conditions, the revenues are recognized over the term of the contract when the Company can objectively determine control has been transferred to the customer in accordance with agreed-upon specifications in the contract. For these contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment, which is recognized as a contract liability for the amount in excess of the revenue recognized. The Company uses the input method using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure the progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs include labor, material and overhead. The estimation of the progress toward completion is subject to various assumptions. As part of the estimation process, the Company reviews the length of time to complete the performance obligation, the cost of materials and labor productivity. If a significant change in one of the assumptions occurs, then the Company will recognize an adjustment under the cumulative catch-up method and the impact of the adjustment on the revenue recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified.

Extended Warranty Contracts. The Company sells separately priced extended warranty contracts, which extends coverage beyond the base warranty period. Revenue is recognized for the extended warranty contract on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations, over the extended warranty period. The extended warranty period ranges from one to five years. Payment is received at the inception of the extended warranty contract, which is recognized as a contract liability for the amount in excess of the revenue recognized. The revenue associated with the sale of extended warranty contracts is insignificant.

Technology Services Revenue. The Company sells a combination of technology products and services. When the bundled package of technology products and services is sold, the portion of the consideration received related to the services component is recognized over time as the Company satisfies the future performance obligation. Revenue is recognized for the hardware component when control is transferred to the dealer or distributor. The revenue associated with the sale of technology services is insignificant.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets relate to the Company’s right to recover returned replacement parts. When the refund for the returned replacement part is settled with the dealer or distributor, the contract asset is then transferred to inventory. Contract liabilities relate to the following: (1) the obligation to refund dealers or distributors for the expected return of replacement parts, (2) unrecognized revenues where advance payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to extended warranty contracts and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time, (3) unrecognized revenues where advance payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to certain grain storage and protein production systems and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time and (4) unrecognized revenues where advance payment consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to technology services and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
Our operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the agricultural industry. Sales of our equipment are affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, the demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and general economic conditions. We record sales when we sell equipment and replacement parts to our independent dealers, distributors and other customers. To the extent possible, we attempt to sell products to our dealers and distributors on a level basis throughout the year to reduce the effect of seasonal demands on manufacturing operations and to minimize our investment in inventories. However, retail sales by dealers to farmers are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, our net sales historically have been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2018 , we generated net income of $71.1 million , or $0.89 per share, compared to $60.7 million , or $0.76 per share, for the same period in 2017 . For the first nine months 2018 , we generated net income of $186.8 million , or $2.33 , compared to net income of $142.1 million , or $1.77 , for the same period in 2017 .

Net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $2,214.7 million and $6,759.8 million , which were approximately 11.5% and 17.0% higher than the same period in 2017 , respectively, primarily due to the benefit of new acquisitions as well as net sales growth in our North America and Europe/Middle East (“EME”) regions.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $111.3 million compared to $97.1 million for the same period in 2017 . Income from operations was $329.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $261.1 million for the same period in 2017 . The increase in income from operations for the three and nine months was primarily the result of higher net sales and improved operating margins.

Regionally, income from operations in our EME region increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . The increase was primarily due to increased net sales and margin improvements, partially offset by higher engineering expenses. In our North American region, income from operations improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 . The impacts from higher net sales levels as well as the benefit of our Precision Planting acquisition, that was completed in September 2017, contributed to improvement in the region. Income from operations in our South American region increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , primarily driven by increased net sales and higher operating margins. Impacts of material cost inflation and transition costs associated with localizing newer product technology into our Brazilian factories contributed to the decline in income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 . The operating results in our Asia/ Pacific/Africa (“APA”) region were improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to higher net sales and production levels.

Industry Market Conditions
Global farm equipment demand in the first nine months of 2018 was mixed across key markets with future demand dependent on factors such as commodity price development and government trade and farm support policy. Global crop production is expected to increase modestly from 2017, with robust harvests in North America offset by lower output in the European Union, parts of South America and Asia/Pacific due to dry conditions in those areas.

In North America, industry unit retail sales of utility and high horsepower tractors for the first nine months of 2018 increased by approximately 3% compared to the first nine months of 2017 . Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first nine months of 2018 increased by approximately 13% compared to the first nine months of 2017 . Retail sales strengthened in the row crop segment as farmers are replacing their equipment after years of weaker demand.

In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first nine months of 2018 increased approximately 1% compared to the first nine months of 2017 . Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first nine months of 2018 increased by approximately 17% compared to the first nine months of 2017 . Sales improved across the markets of the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Italy, partially offset by declines in France and Germany.

South America industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first nine months of 2018 decreased approximately 1% compared to the same period in 2017 . Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first nine months of 2018 increased

(continued)

approximately 7% compared to the first nine months of 2017 . Industry demand in Brazil increased during the third quarter following an improvement in terms for the government’s financing programs. In addition, industry retail sales declined in Argentina due to weak economic conditions and lower harvest yields.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $2,214.7 million compared to $1,986.3 million for the same period in 2017 . Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $6,759.8 million compared to $5,779.1 million for the same period in 2017 . The following table sets forth, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the impacts to net sales of currency translation as well as from acquisitions by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

Regionally, net sales in North America increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . The increase was a result of net sales growth of high horsepower tractors, hay tools and sprayers. In addition, the Precision Planting acquisition contributed net sales of approximately $97.2 million during the first nine months of 2018. In the EME region, net sales were higher during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . The increase was primarily due to sales growth in Germany, the United Kingdom and France as well as the positive impact from acquisitions and currency translation. Excluding the impact of negative translation impacts, net sales in South America increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to sales growth in Brazil, partially offset by declines in Argentina. In the APA region, net sales increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily driven by sales growth in Australia and Asia, as well as the impact of acquisitions. We estimate worldwide average price increases were approximately 2.0% and 1.3% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised close to 60% of our net sales, increased approximately 12% and 16%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . Unit sales of tractors and combines increased approximately 11% and 8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . The difference between the unit sales change and the change in net sales was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was relatively flat for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 . The improvement for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was due to benefits from pricing and higher production levels, offset by increased material costs and negative foreign exchange impacts. Production hours increased in both Europe and North America in response to increased demand in those regions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Overall, production hours increased on a global basis during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 . We recorded approximately $0.8 million and $2.7 million of stock compensation expense within cost of goods sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to approximately $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the comparable periods in 2017 , as is more fully explained below and in Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) and engineering expenses combined for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were slightly below as a percentage of net sales compared to the same periods in 2017 . We recorded approximately $9.7 million and $30.6 million of stock compensation expense within SG&A expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to $7.9 million and $29.1 million during the same periods in 2017 , as is more fully explained in Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recorded approximately $4.8 million of accelerated stock compensation expense associated with a stock award declined by our Chief Executive Officer.

The restructuring expenses of $1.5 million and $10.1 million recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, primarily related to severance and other related costs associated with the rationalization of certain manufacturing operations and administrative offices located in Europe, South America, China and the United States. Refer to Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest expense, net was approximately $7.0 million and $38.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to approximately $11.6 million and $33.6 million for the comparable periods in 2017 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded approximately $15.7 million of a loss on the extinguishment of a portion of our 5 7 / 8 % senior notes, partially offset by approximately $3.0 million of accelerated amortization of the deferred gain related to a terminated interest rate swap instrument associated with the senior notes. Refer to Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other expense, net was approximately $19.1 million and $57.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. Other expense, net was approximately $18.5 million and $49.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. Losses on sales of receivables, primarily related to our accounts receivable sales agreements with our finance joint ventures in North America, Europe and Brazil and included in other expense, net, were approximately $6.7 million and $24.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to approximately $10.3 million and $27.5 million for the comparable periods in 2017 . In addition, foreign exchange losses associated primarily with the significant devaluation of the Argentina peso contributed to the increase in other expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 .

We have a wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina that manufactures and distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts within Argentina. As of June 30, 2018, on the basis of currently available data related to inflation indices and as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso relative to the United States dollar, the Argentinian economy was determined to be highly inflationary. A highly inflationary economy is one where the cumulative inflation rate for the three years preceding the beginning of the reporting period, including interim reporting periods, is in excess of 100 percent. In accordance with this designation and based on the guidance in ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, we changed the functional currency of our wholly-owned subsidiary from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar effective July 1, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina had net sales of approximately $21.3 million and total assets of approximately $110.7 million as of September 30, 2018 . The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the Argentine peso were approximately $25.2 million and approximately $11.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2018 . The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured based on current published exchange rates.

We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $23.9 million and $73.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, compared to $16.9 million and $64.9 million , respectively, for the comparable periods in 2017 . Our effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the mix of taxable income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflects the impact of a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets and accordingly, having no tax benefit against our U.S. losses.
    
Equity in net earnings of affiliates, which is primarily comprised of income from our finance joint ventures, was approximately $9.4 million and $26.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to approximately $10.7 million and $30.8 million for the comparable periods in 2017 . The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to lower net earnings from our finance joint ventures. Refer to “Finance Joint Ventures” for further information regarding our finance joint ventures and their results of operations.

FINANCE JOINT VENTURES
Our AGCO Finance joint ventures provide both retail financing and wholesale financing to our dealers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. The joint ventures are owned by AGCO and by a wholly owned subsidiary of Rabobank, a financial institution based in the Netherlands. The majority of the assets of the finance joint ventures consist of finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities consist of notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates provide financing to the joint ventures, primarily through lines of credit. We do not guarantee the debt obligations of the joint ventures. As of September 30, 2018 , our capital investment in the finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $377.8 million compared to $373.7 million as of December 31, 2017 . The total finance portfolio in our finance joint ventures was approximately $8.8 billion as of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The total finance portfolio as of September 30, 2018 included approximately $7.2 billion of retail receivables and $1.6 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The total finance portfolio as of December 31, 2017 included approximately $7.3 billion of retail receivables and $1.5 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The wholesale receivables either were sold directly to AGCO Finance without recourse from our operating companies or AGCO Finance provided the financing directly to the dealers. For

the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , our share in the earnings of the finance joint ventures, included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $26.5 million compared to $30.7 million for the same period in 2017 .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our financing requirements are subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and receivable levels. Internally generated funds are supplemented when necessary from external sources, primarily our credit facility and accounts receivable sales agreement facilities. We believe that the following facilities, discussed below, together with available cash and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future (in millions):

On October 17, 2018 we entered into a new credit facility agreement, consisting of a multi-currency revolving credit facility of $800.0 million. The maturity date of the new credit facility is October 17, 2023. Under the new credit facility agreement, our credit spread is based on our published long-term debt rating. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% based on our credit rating, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in US dollars plus 1.0%, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.875% based on our credit rating. The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. We also have to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. In connection with the closing of the new credit facility in October 2018, we also repaid our outstanding €312.0 million ( $361.3 million as of September 30, 2018 ) term loan under our previous revolving credit and term loan facility. We recorded approximately $0.9 million associated with the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the repayment. In addition, we recorded a loss of approximately $3.9 million related to the termination of our interest rate swap contract associated with the previous term loan facility.

In May 2018, we completed a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of our outstanding 5 7 / 8 % senior notes at a cash purchase price of $1,077.50 per $1,000.00 of senior notes. As a result of the tender offer, we repurchased approximately $185.9 million of principal amount of our senior notes for approximately $200.3 million , plus accrued interest. The repurchase resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $15.7 million , including associated fees. We also recorded approximately $3.0 million of accelerated amortization of the deferred gain related to the terminated interest rate swap instrument associated with our senior notes. Both the loss on extinguishment and the accelerated amortization were reflected in “Interest expense, net,” for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

In October 2018, we repurchased the remaining principal amount of our outstanding 5 7 / 8 % senior notes of approximately $114.1 million for approximately $122.5 million, plus accrued interest. The repurchase resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $8.8 million, including associated fees. We also recorded approximately $1.7 of accelerated amortization of the deferred gain related to the terminated interest rate swap instrument associated with the senior notes discussed above. Both the loss on extinguishment and the accelerated amortization will be reflected in “Interest expense, net,” for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

On August 1, 2018, we borrowed an aggregate amount of indebtedness of €338.0 million (or approximately $394.7 million) through a group of seven related term loan agreements.  Proceeds from the borrowings were used to repay borrowings

under our revolving credit facility.   The provisions of the term loan agreements are identical in nature with the exception of interest rate terms and maturities. The maturities of the term loan agreements range from August 1, 2021 to August 1, 2028.
    
While we are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in these facilities and currently expect to continue to maintain such compliance, should we ever encounter difficulties, our historical relationship with our lenders has been strong and we anticipate their continued long-term support of our business. Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our current facilities.
    
Our accounts receivable sales agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of our receivables to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. The sales of all receivables are without recourse to us. We do not service the receivables after the sale occurs, and we do not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. These agreements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions and have the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. As of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.3 billion .

Our finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are also without recourse to us. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , these finance joint ventures had approximately $50.3 million and $41.6 million , respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. These arrangements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions. In addition, we sell certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. These arrangements are also accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $4.0 million for the first nine months of 2018 compared to approximately $29.2 million for the first nine months of 2017 . Our working capital requirements are seasonal, with investments in working capital typically building in the first half of the year and then reducing in the second half of the year. We had $1,129.9 million in working capital at September 30, 2018 as compared to $977.1 million at December 31, 2017 and $1,291.4 million at September 30, 2017 . Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at September 30, 2018 were $202.2 million higher than at December 31, 2017 and $18.1 million lower than at September 30, 2017 , respectively. Excluding the negative impact of currency translation, inventories increased as of September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 as a result of supplier constraint impacts, acquisition impacts and higher production.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2018 were $138.5 million compared to $139.4 million for the same period of 2017 . We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2018 will be approximately $250.0 million and will be used primarily to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, upgrade our system capabilities and improve our factory productivity.

Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness divided by the sum of total indebtedness and stockholders’ equity, was 38.1% and 35.7% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , through open market transactions, we repurchased 534,403 shares of our common stock for approximately $34.3 million at an average price paid of $64.14 per share. Repurchased shares were retired on the date of purchase, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018 , we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $50.0 million of shares of our common stock. We received approximately 638,978 shares during the three months ended September 30, 2018 related to the ASR agreement. The specific number of shares we ultimately repurchased was determined at the completion of the term of the ASR based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASR, we were entitled to receive additional shares of common stock or, under certain circumstances, were required to remit a settlement amount. In October 2018, we received an additional 197,848 shares of common stock upon final settlement of the ASR. All

45

(continued)

shares received under the ASR were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are party to a number of commitments and other financial arrangements, which may include “off-balance sheet” arrangements. At September 30, 2018 , we have outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $28.9 million , primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. We also sell a majority of our wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. At September 30, 2018 , we had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign currency contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1,442.2 million . Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Foreign Currency Risk Management,” as well as to Notes 10 , 12 and 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion of these matters.

Contingencies

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) of Victoria, Australia issued a notice to our Australian subsidiary regarding remediation of contamination of a property located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The property was owned and divested by the subsidiary before the subsidiary was acquired by us. Our Australian subsidiary is in correspondence with the EPA concerning the notice. The notice was voluntarily withdrawn by the EPA in March 2018, but may be refiled in the future.
    
As part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of our Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to our Brazilian subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these matters.

OUTLOOK
Our net sales in 2018 are expected to increase compared to 2017 , primarily due to the impact of improved net sales volumes, pricing and acquisition-related sales. Income from operations and net income are expected to be above 2017 levels due to the impact of higher net sales as well as margin improvement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates, including those related to discounts and sales incentive allowances, goodwill, other intangible and long-lived assets, deferred income taxes and uncertain income tax positions and pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking, including certain statements set forth under the headings “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Outlook.” Forward-looking statements reflect assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events. These statements, which may relate to such matters as earnings, net sales, margins, industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, farm incomes, foreign currency translation, general economic outlook, availability of financing, product development and enhancement, factory productivity, production and sales volumes, benefits from cost reduction initiatives, tax rates, compliance with loan covenants, capital expenditures and working capital and debt service requirements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements do

46

Table of Contents
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and you can identify certain of these statements, but not necessarily all, by the use of the words “anticipate,” “assumed,” “indicate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “forecast,” “rely,” “expect,” “continue,” “grow” and other words of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Adverse changes in any of the following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

general economic and capital market conditions;
availability of credit to our retail customers;
the worldwide demand for agricultural products;
grain stock levels and the levels of new and used field inventories;
•     cost of steel and other raw materials;
•     energy costs;
•     performance and collectability of the accounts receivable originated or owned by AGCO or AGCO Finance;
government policies and subsidies;
uncertainty regarding changes in the international tariff regimes and their impact on the cost of the products that we sell;
weather conditions;
interest and foreign currency exchange rates;
pricing and product actions taken by competitors;
commodity prices, acreage planted and crop yields;
farm income, land values, debt levels and access to credit;
pervasive livestock diseases;
production disruptions;
production levels and capacity constraints at our facilities, including those resulting from plant expansions and systems upgrades;
integration of recent and future acquisitions;
our expansion plans in emerging markets;
supply constraints;
our cost reduction and control initiatives;
our research and development efforts;
dealer and distributor actions;
regulations affecting privacy and data protection;
technological difficulties; and
political and economic uncertainty in various areas of the world.
Any forward-looking statement should be considered in light of such important factors. For additional factors and additional information regarding these factors, please see “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

We have joint ventures in the Netherlands and Russia with an entity that currently is operating under a time-limited general license from the U.S. Department of the Treasury authorizing the maintenance or wind down of operations and existing

47

Table of Contents

contracts. In the event that the license expires without further relief being granted or without other authorization from the U.S. Department of the Treausry, we may no longer be able to continue the joint ventures’ commercial operations and we would be required to assess the fair value of certain assets related to the joint ventures for potential impairment.

New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described above emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information except as required by law.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk Management
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . As of the third quarter of 2018 , there has been no material change in our exposure to market risks.     

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2018 , have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) The remaining authorized amount to be repurchased is $247.1 million , of which $215.7 million expires in December 2019 and $31.4 million has no expiration date.
(2) In August 2018, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $50.0 million of our common stock. The ASR agreement resulted in the initial delivery of 638,978 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 80% of the shares expected to repurchased in connection with the transaction. In October 2018, the remaining 197,848 shares under the ASR agreement were delivered. The average price paid per share related to the ASR agreement reflected in the table above was derived using the fair market value of the shares on the date the initial 638,978 shares were delivered. The amount that may yet be purchased under our share repurchase programs, as presented in the above table, was reduced by the entire $50.0 million payment related to the ASR agreement. Refer to Note 11 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of this matter.

Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a “ Revolving Loan ”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date in an amount for each such Revolving Loan not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Revolving Loan Commitment on such Business Day. In no event shall the Lenders be obligated to make any Revolving Loan if, on the date of such Revolving Loan and after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. Each Borrowing shall be in U.S. Dollars in, or the Equivalent Amount in the requested Offshore Currency of, an aggregate amount of U.S. $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except for the Borrowing made on the Agreement Date) and shall consist of Revolving Loans made by such Lenders ratably according to their Revolving Loan Commitments. The Equivalent Amount in U.S. Dollars of each Revolving Loan shall be recalculated hereunder on each date on which it shall be necessary to determine the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment, or any or all Loan or Loans outstanding on such date. Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Revolving Loan Commitment in effect from time to time, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.1(a) , prepay pursuant to Section 2.4 and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a) .



(ii)     Swing Line Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including the conditions in Article 3 ), the Swing Line Bank, in its individual capacity, may in its sole discretion make overnight loans in U.S. Dollars to AGCO from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding U.S. $25,000,000 (the “ Swing Line Sublimit ”); provided that after giving effect to any such Borrowings, Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. As it is understood that the purpose for the Swing Line Loan is to fund AGCO’s operating account, the making of the Swing Line Loans and the repayments to the Swing Line Bank may be made on a sweep basis requiring no formal notification from AGCO. The Swing Line Bank may at its discretion, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to AGCO, choose to require written notification of Swing Line Loans from AGCO, but is not required to do so. No Swing Line Loan shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Loan shall accrue interest at such rate as may be agreed to between the Swing Line Bank and AGCO, and such interest shall be due and payable in arrears monthly or more frequently as may be required by the Swing Line Bank, and on the Maturity Date. Within the limits of the Swing Line Sublimit, AGCO may borrow under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) , prepay the Swing Line Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) .

(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

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) 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 LIBO Rate Loan if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars and (2) shall be a LIBO Rate Loan if the requested currency for such Borrowing is other than U.S. Dollars;
(C)    requested aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing;

     Making of Loans by Lenders . In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBO Rate Loans, 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 LIBO Rate 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 LIBO Rate 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; provided that, in the case of any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds, equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances to the Borrowers made by the Issuing Banks and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, available for repayment of such Letter of Credit Advances. 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.
     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 or Notice of Issuance on behalf of the Borrowers, AGCO and any officer or employee of AGCO, and (ii) acknowledges that (A) any such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance at any time delivered b y 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 or Notice of Issuance 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 LIBO Rate 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)     Swing Line Loans .
(i)    As it is understood that the purpose for the Swing Line Loan is to fund AGCO’s operating account, the Swing Line Loans and repayments to the Swing Line Bank may be made on a sweep basis, requiring no formal notification from AGCO. The Swing Line Bank may at its discretion, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to AGCO, choose to require written notification of Swing Line Loans from AGCO, but is not required to do so. At any time the Swing Line Bank makes a Swing Line Loan, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Bank) shall be deemed, without further action by any Person, to have purchased from the Swing Line Bank an unfunded participation in any such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of such Swing Line Loan and shall be obligated to fund such participation as a Revolving Loan at such time and in the manner provided below. Each such Lender’s obligation to participate in, purchase and fund such participating interests shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments; (3) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of AGCO or any other Person; (4) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Each Borrower hereby consents to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of an outstanding Swing Line Loan on (x) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that such demand is made not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (y) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if such demand is made after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a participation in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that it is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Loan, the Loan Documents or the Borrowers. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such participation in such Swing Line Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount



together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of request by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a U.S. Dollar Revolving Loan made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(ii)    Unless the Swing Line Bank is the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on Friday of each week and on each date the Administrative Agent notifies the Swing Line Bank that any Borrower has made a borrowing request or the Administrative Agent otherwise requests the same, an accounting for the outstanding Swing Line Loans in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. At any time that the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment is less than U.S. $25,000,000, the Swing Line Sublimit shall be reduced temporarily to such lesser amount; and
(iii)    Unless a Default or an Event of Default then exists, the Swing Line Bank shall give AGCO and the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice before exercising its discretion herein not to make Swing Line Loans. AGCO must give ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the then existing Swing Line Bank of any change in designation of the Swing Line Bank. The replaced Swing Line Bank shall continue to be a “ Swing Line Bank ” for purposes of repayment of any Swing Line Loans made prior to such replacement and outstanding after such replacement.
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.
     Obligations of Lenders Several . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.6 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 8.6 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 8.6 .
Reduction of the Commitments . AGCO 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 Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that each partial reduction: (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S. $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (ii) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments; and (iii) 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, prepay pro rata among the Lenders of any Class the outstanding amount of any Loans of such Class (other than any Swing Line Loans or Letter of Credit Advances (resulting from a drawing under a Letter of Credit) not participated to any other Lender, in which case, such prepayments shall not be made on a pro rata basis or require prior notice) 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 LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBO Rate Loan (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(f) )), the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.2 . Any prepayment of the Incremental Term Loans 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 shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(e) . Any repayments of an Incremental Term Loan may not be reborrowed.
(b)     Mandatory Prepayments .
(i)    On any date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.3 , if the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date shall exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans or the Letter of Credit Advances in the aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and shall pay on demand to the Lenders any amounts owing under Section 10.2 as a result of such prepayment. Each such prepayment by a Borrower shall be applied ratably to such Revolving Loans, or to such Letter of Credit Advances pursuant to draws



on the same Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, as AGCO 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 Revolving Loan 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 LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, AGCO 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.
(iii)    If, on the last Business Day of any calendar quarter, the L/C Obligations on such date shall exceed the Letter of Credit Subfacility on such date, AGCO shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in such L/C Cash Collateral Account to equal the amount of such excess.
(iv)    Each Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of the making thereof by an Issuing Bank, repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made to such Borrower.
(v)    Each Borrower shall pay the outstanding unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Advances 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 7 of this Agreement.

Each such Revolving Loan Lender’s fee shall be calculated by allocating to such Revolving Loan Lender a portion of the total fee determined ratably according to such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments.
Issuing Bank Fee . From and after the Agreement Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to each Issuing Bank a fee calculated at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by Borrowers and such Issuing Bank on the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter during which such Letter of Credit was outstanding (commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date) and, if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date. Additionally, the Borrowers agree to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its customary fees for issuing, amending, paying, negotiating or renewing any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which fees shall be due and payable on the date of each such issuance, amendment, payment, negotiation or renewal. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any letter of credit reimbursement agreements or indemnification agreements between any Borrower and any Issuing Bank with respect to the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
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 prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or Continuation and subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 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 (but not Letter of Credit Advances) in U.S. Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Loans of another Type, or Continue any LIBO Rate Loans



for an additional Interest Period; provided , if (i) less than all LIBO Rate Loans of any Class are Converted or Continued, after such Conversion or Continuation, not less than the minimum amounts specified in Section 2.1(a)(i) (which minimums shall apply equally to any Incremental Term Loan Borrowings Converted hereunder) shall Continue as LIBO Rate Loans of such Class; (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) (which minimum amount shall apply equally to any Incremental Term Loan Borrowings Converted hereunder) 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 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 LIBO Rate Loan Borrowings 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 LIBO Rate Loans or a Continuation of LIBO Rate 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 LIBO Rate 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 LIBO Rate Loans of any Class denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than U.S. $5,000,000, such Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans.
(c)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and properly completed notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to a LIBO Rate 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 LIBO Rate Loan Continue as a LIBO Rate Loan with a one month Interest Period, subject to such Borrower’s right to repay such LIBO Rate Loan at the end of such original Interest Period (which repayment shall be accompanied by any costs under Section 10.2 ),
(d)    No Borrower shall request a LIBO Rate Loan if, after giving effect thereto, there would be more than twenty (20) LIBO Rate Loan Borrowings outstanding.
2.8.     Payments and Computations .
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder free and clear of any setoff or counterclaim, with such payment (other than repayment of a Swing Line Loan) 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 U.S. Dollars, 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 9.6(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 and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit 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, fees and Letter of Credit fees payable by any Borrower shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred 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, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission 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 interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBO Rate 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.
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 (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) 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 (iii) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (iv) the 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.
Letters of Credit .
(a)     The Letter of Credit Subfacility . Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit (the “ Letters of Credit ”) for the account of any Borrower or its Subsidiary from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until sixty (60) days before the Maturity Date (i) in an aggregate Available Amount for such Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the amount of the Letter of Credit Subfacility, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Letter of Credit Advances to any Borrower then outstanding and (ii) in an Available Amount for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower not to exceed the aggregate Unused Revolving Loan Commitments on such Business Day. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of a Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of five (5) days before the Maturity Date and one (1) year after the date of issuance thereof; provided , however , that any Letter of Credit that expires one (1) year after the date of its issuance may provide for the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit for additional one (1)-year periods so long as such Letter of Credit, as renewed, shall have an expiration date not later than five (5) days before the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date later than five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date if the requesting Borrower provides, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (it being acknowledged that the obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders to purchase participations in any such Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Maturity Date to the extent of the Cash Collateral for such Letters of Credit maintained by the Administrative Agent on such date). Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall require that all draws thereon must be presented to such Issuing Bank by the expiration date therefor, regardless of whether presented prior to such date to any correspondent bank or other institution. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Subfacility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.10(a) , repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under Section 2.10(b) .
(b)     Request for Issuance, Notices by Issuing Banks .
(i)    Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day



prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by a Borrower to such Issuing Bank, which Issuing Bank shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice thereof. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “ Notice of Issuance ”) shall be by electronic mail, telecopier or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein (1) the requested date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day); (2) the requested Available Amount of such Letter of Credit; (3) the requested expiration date of such Letter of Credit; (4) the requested currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated, which shall be U.S. Dollars or an Offshore Currency; provided that no Borrower shall make a request for a Letter of Credit in any Agreed Alternative Currency unless it shall have previously obtained the consent of each Revolving Loan Lender to the issuance of such Letter of Credit in such currency; (5) the requested name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; and (6) the requested form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit (a “ Letter of Credit Agreement ”) as such Issuing Bank may specify to such Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit. No letter of credit issued by a Lender that is not also the Administrative Agent shall constitute a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement unless (and until) such Lender provides written notice of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent which notice shall include the information described in clauses (1) through (5) of the immediately preceding sentence. If (x) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, and (y) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 , make such Letter of Credit available to the requesting Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.2 or as otherwise agreed with such Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. A Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued for the account of each Borrower delivering the Notice of Issuance therefor. No Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit to any beneficiary subject to Sanctions.
(ii)    In connection with any Letter of Credit issued hereunder that contains a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Person that is a Subsidiary of a Borrower (that is not also a Borrower), such Borrower shall, notwithstanding such statement, be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower (that is not also a Borrower) unless such Issuing Bank receives such documentation and other information regarding such Subsidiary required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, as may be requested by such Issuing Bank.
(iii)    Each Issuing Bank (other than such Person that is also the Administrative Agent) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such information or written reports regarding the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the respective Available Amounts with respect thereto, the currencies in which such Letters of Credit were



denominated, for whose account such Letters of Credit were issued and any drawings that have been made under such Letters of Credit as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
(iv)    For all purposes hereunder, including the calculation of Revolving Loan Outstandings, L/C Outstandings and Fronting Exposure, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank (other than an Issuing Bank that is also the Administrative Agent) as outstanding from the later of the date of issuance, or the date Administrative Agent received notice thereof pursuant to the notice delivered by such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) , unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Issuing Bank of the termination, expiration, reduction, amendment, modification or replacement of such Letter of Credit; provided that any notice by an Issuing Bank of the issuance, termination, expiration, reduction, amendment, modification or replacement of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or this Section 2.10(b)(iv) received by the Administrative Agent on a day that is not a Business Day, or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day.
(c)     Drawing and Reimbursement .
(i)    The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit for the account of a Borrower or its Subsidiary shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance to such Borrower, which shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect for Base Rate Loans, in the amount and currency of such draft, and be immediately due and payable in full by such Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (1) the Business Day that AGCO receives notice of such payment by the Issuing Bank, if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, or (2) the Business Day immediately following the day that AGCO receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that AGCO may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and currency and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to repay the Letter of Credit Advance shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan.
(ii)    Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation therein equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit and, upon written demand by such Issuing Bank following a draw on such a Letter of Credit, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Loan Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank, directly and not as a participation, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Revolving Loan Lender, such other Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of such Letter of Credit Advance resulting from such draw as of the date of such purchase to the extent not



previously repaid by the applicable Borrower, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same-day funds in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Loan Lender.
(iii)    Each Borrower agrees to each participation, sale and assignment pursuant to this subsection (c).
(iv)    Each Revolving Loan Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance made by an Issuing Bank on (1) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on such Business Day, or (2) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.
Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Revolving Loan Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to such Revolving Loan Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Revolving Loan Lender shall not have so made the purchase price for its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of a Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Loan Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Revolving Loan Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
Obligations Absolute . The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including without limitation the following circumstances:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (this Agreement and all of the other foregoing being, collectively, the “ L/C Related Documents ”);



(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(iv)    any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v)    payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that this clause (v) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any claim that any Borrower might have against such Issuing Bank as a result of any such payment that arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank;
(vi)    any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Guaranty Agreement; or
(vii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including without limitation any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or a Guarantor.
Defaulting Lenders .
Cash Collateralization . At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), AGCO shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
Grant of Security Interest . AGCO, and to the extent any Cash Collateral is provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, AGCO will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative



Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.11 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
Termination of Requirement . Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.11 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
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:
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.
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 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.5 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 , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder; THIRD , to Cash Collateralize on a pro rata basis the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) ; FOURTH , 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 its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; FIFTH , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and AGCO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize on a pro rata basis the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section 2.11 ; SIXTH , to the payment of any



amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; SEVENTH , 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 EIGHTH , 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 (including any Letter of Credit Advances) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued 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 (including Letter of Credit Advances) of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans (including any Letter of Credit Advances) of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv) . 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11(e)(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).
(B)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the fees for Letters of Credit provided under Section 2.6(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11 .
(C)    With respect to any Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the applicable Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 11.6 , no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any c laim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)     Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans .

Defaulting Lender Cure . If AGCO, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Revolving Loan Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv)) , whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender, (y) such Lender that ceases to be a Defaulting Lender shall reimburse the other Revolving Loan Lenders for any costs of the type described in Section 10.2 that may be incurred by such Revolving Loan Lenders as a result of the purchase of Revolving Loans required hereunder, and (z) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit . So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Borrower Liability . AGCO and each Domestic Subsidiary Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Loans and other liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or of itself or any Borrowing Subsidiary. No Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall have any liability for any Borrowing or other liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by



or of AGCO or any other Borrowing Subsidiary (except as may otherwise be provided in any Guaranty Agreement of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower).

(b)    The Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers shall be joint and several in nature as more specifically described in Section 2.12 . The Obligations of each Foreign



Subsidiary Borrower shall be several in nature and not joint except as set forth in any Guaranty Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. No Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to guarantee the Obligations of AGCO or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower.

Each Notice of Incremental Facility delivered by AGCO shall be binding upon all Loan Parties. At the time of delivery of the Notice of Incremental Facility, AGCO shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible



Employee of AGCO certifying (A) that AGCO and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10 hereof before and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing or such Incremental Revolving Commitments (as if fully drawn) on a pro forma basis as of the end of the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders, and (B) that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby.
(b)    Repayments of the principal of any Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate or the LIBO Rate plus such Applicable Margin as is set forth in the Notice of Incremental Facility related to such Incremental Term Loans, provided , however , the final maturity date of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be not earlier than the Maturity Date, and no Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have any scheduled amortization or other required principal payments that is greater than ten (10%) of the original principal amount thereof in any fiscal year.

Any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made on the same terms and provisions (other than upfront fees) as apply to the existing Revolving Loan Commitments, including with respect to maturity date, interest rate and prepayment provisions, and such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not constitute a credit facility separate and apart from the Revolving Loan Commitments set forth in Section 2.1(a) .
(c)    Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of each Notice of Incremental Facility to such Lenders or other Persons that qualify as an Eligible Assignee as may be determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion with the approval of AGCO or as may be specified by AGCO. No Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Incremental Term Loan or to make available any Incremental Revolving Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to fund any Incremental Term Loan or to make available any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

If Administrative Agent does not receive commitments from Lenders (or Additional Lenders) in an amount sufficient to fund the requested Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment, Administrative Agent shall so notify AGCO and the Notice of Incremental Facility shall be deemed automatically rescinded; provided , AGCO may submit a replacement Notice of Incremental Facility setting



forth different terms for the requested Incremental Term Loan Borrowing or Incremental Revolving Commitment.
(e)    An agreement to fund Incremental Term Loans or to provide Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section shall become effective upon the receipt by Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and AGCO signed by each Loan Party, by each Additional Lender and by each existing Lender who has agreed to fund such Incremental Term Loans or to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment, setting forth the new Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with officer’s certificates and ratification agreements executed by each Loan Party and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of each Loan Party with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, any amendments to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in relation to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment (which amendments to the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders), and such opinions of counsel for the Loan Parties with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment and other assurances and documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Remedies . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and until such Event of Default is waived in writing by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders as may be required by Section 9.1 , the Administrative Agent:
(a)    may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders, by notice to AGCO, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit and the Swing Line Bank to make Swing Line Loans to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate;
(b)    may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders (i) by notice to AGCO, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and (ii) by notice to each party required under the terms of any agreement in support of which a Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such agreement be declared to be due and payable; provided that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief or any assignment, proposal or the giving of notice of intention to make a proposal with respect to any Borrower under Debtor Relief Laws, (x) the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit and of the Swing Line Bank to make Swing Line Loans shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; and

the right to the appointment of a receiver for the property of each Borrower, and each Borrower hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection each Borrower may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders in connection therewith.
Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit . If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 7.2 or otherwise, make demand upon AGCO to, and forthwith upon such demand AGCO will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same-day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in such interest-bearing account as the Administrative Agent shall specify (the “ L/C Cash Collateral Account ”), an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount required to be on deposit hereunder, AGCO will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such amount required to be deposited hereunder over (ii) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The L/C 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 L/C Cash Collateral Account. AGCO grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, a lien on and security interest in the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein as collateral security for the performance of the Borrowers’ 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 L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein.
Application of Payments . Subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, payments and prepayments with respect to the Obligations made to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank (excluding any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account which shall be applied to, or held to pay, the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding as set forth in Section 7.3 ) shall be distributed in the following order of priority: first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank in the collection of such amounts under this Agreement or of the Loan Documents until paid in full; second, to any fees then due and payable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document until paid in full; third, to any fees then due and payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Agreement until paid in full; fourth, to the ratable payment of interest then due in respect of the Loans and the Swing Line Loans until paid in full; fifth, to the ratable payment of principal of the Loans and the Swing Line Loans and, to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, for any Letters of Credit then outstanding, in each case until paid (or cash collateralized) in full;



sixth, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section until paid in full; and seventh, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.
ARTICLE 8
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Authorization and Action . Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Rabobank to take action on its behalf as the Administrative Agent to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to them respectively by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither AGCO nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and Issuing Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, exposes it or any of its Related Parties to liability or that is contrary to the Loan Documents or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under Debtor Relief Laws or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of any Defaulting Lender in violation of Debtor Relief Laws. Except for action requiring the approval of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use their 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.
Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc . Neither 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 and non-appealable judgment.

(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to AGCO or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(c)    may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and may rely on any opinion of counsel delivered under this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts or any such opinion;

(f)    shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto (other than its own execution and delivery thereof) or the creation, attachment perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created under or contemplated by any Loan Document;
(g)    shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;
(h)    shall have no liability or responsibility to any Loan Party for any failure on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to comply with any obligation to be performed by such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement;

(l)    shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any Platform, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person;
(m)    may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon;
(n)    in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit;
(o)    shall not be liable for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the Administrative Agent's reasonable control, including nationalization, expropriation, currency or funds transfer restrictions, the interruption, disruption, or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical, communications, or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, fires, floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, civil, and military disturbance, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts, or errors by any Borrower in its instructions to the Administrative Agent; and

Administrative Agent, in its Individual Capacity and Affiliates . With respect to its respective Commitments and the Loans made by Rabobank, Rabobank shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “ Lender ” or “ Lenders ” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Rabobank in its individual capacity. Rabobank and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if Rabobank was not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Lender Credit Decision . Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or their respective Related Parties and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Notice of Default or Event of Default . In the event that the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall acquire actual knowledge, or shall have been notified in writing, of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the other Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Required Lenders shall request in writing, and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting (a) pursuant to any such request or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. If the Required Lenders shall fail to request the Administrative Agent to take action or to assert rights under this Agreement in respect of any Event of Default within ten days after their receipt of the notice of any Event of Default, or shall request inconsistent action with respect to such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, take such action and assert such rights (other than rights under Article 7 ) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders and Issuing Banks, except that, if the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such right, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions.
Indemnification . Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including without limitation fees and expenses of legal counsel, experts, agents and consultants) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,



penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses payable by any Borrower under Section 9.4 , to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. For purposes of this Section, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of:
(a)    the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders;
(b)    their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time; and
(c)    their respective Unused Revolving Loan Commitments at such time.
Successor Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be any Lender or a commercial bank or other financial institution and having a combined capital and reserves in excess of U.S. $500,000,000. The resignation of such retiring Administrative Agent shall be effective only upon (i) the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) the execution of all documents and taking of all other actions reasonably necessary in the opinion of the successor Administrative Agent, in connection with such substitution. Upon such effectiveness pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . The Administrative Agent may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel), the Issuing Banks and the Lenders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Loan Party, or any of their respective creditors or property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any



custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to the Administrative Agent for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.
Release of Guaranties Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Loan Party (other than AGCO) from its obligations under any Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section.
Other Agent Titles . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the financial institutions named as “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Joint Bookrunner”, “Joint Lead Arranger”, and “Co-Documentation Agent” on the cover page of this Agreement is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; it being understood and agreed that each such financial institution in its stated capacity shall be entitled to all indemnification rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided in Sections 8.6 and 9.4(c) .

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this



Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, Issuing Bank or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(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. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.1 , 10.2 and 10.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 10.4 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.4 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 10.5 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 10.1 and 10.4 , with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive had the participation not occurred.

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, letter of credit 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 9.6 , 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 keep such information confidential.
(j)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.6 , 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 keep such information confidential.

(l)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.6 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Bank that (i) has purchased a participation or sub-participation in the minimum amount of $4,500,000 on or after the Agreement Date, (ii) is, by written notice to AGCO and the Administrative Agent (“ Voting Participant Notification ”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder, and (iii) receives the prior written consent of



the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to become a Voting Participant (any Farm Credit Bank so designated and consented to being called a “ Voting Participant ”), shall be entitled to vote for so long as such Farm Credit Bank owns such participation and notwithstanding any subparticipation by such Farm Credit Bank (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such participant or subparticipant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (x) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee in any Assignment and Assumption and (y) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased in each Class of Loans. The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and AGCO within 3 Business Days’ of any termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation. AGCO and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. The voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participant and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of the Voting Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Bank designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule 9.6 hereto shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification (and the voting rights of the selling Lender identified on such Schedule shall be correspondingly reduced, respectively) and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case in connection with their respective participation interests set forth on such Schedule as of the Agreement Date.
Marshalling; Payments Set Aside . Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Issuing Bank 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, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks 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.
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.

(i)    if Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrowers or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrowers) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(A)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period and currency, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(B)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a



specific date after which the LIBO Rate for a currency or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “ Scheduled Unavailability Date ”) in such currency; or
(ii)    if Administrative Agent and Borrowers determine that syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBO Rate for such currency,
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Administrative Agent or receipt by Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate for such currency with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining interest rates for loans for similar multi-currency denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “ LIBOR Successor Rate ”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 to the contrary, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make, Convert or Continue LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBO Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBO Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of LIBO Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBO Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein provided , however , if such Borrowing is to be denominated in an Offshore Currency, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a LIBO Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
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 LIBO Rate 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, 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 10.5 , 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, 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 failing to prepay any amount when specified in a notice of prepayment or otherwise when due, 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.
Judgment Currency .
(a)    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. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b)    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.
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 9.6(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).
(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 9.2 , 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 organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, in each other case, shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Lender hereunder, and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter 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 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 9.6 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 10.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.4 ), 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, 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 10.4 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 (n), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Mitigation; Replacement of a Lender .
Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b) , gives a notice under Section 10.1(f) , 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 10.4 , 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 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for a notice under Section 10.1(f) , 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.
Replacement of a Lender . Subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section 10.5 , if:
(i)    a Revolving Loan Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4 and other Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments equal to at least one-third of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments shall not have made a similar request;
(ii)    an Incremental Term Loan Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4 and other Lenders holding Incremental Term Loans of the same Tranche equal to at least one-third of the aggregate outstanding Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche shall not have made a similar request;



(iii)    the obligation of a Lender to make LIBO Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 10.1(e) or (f) in circumstances in which such obligations of other Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans equal to at least one-third of all Revolving Loan Commitments and the aggregate outstanding Incremental Term Loans shall not have been suspended;
(iv)    a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender;
(v)    a Revolving Loan Lender is prohibited or restricted from making Loans in the jurisdiction of an Applicant Borrower and other Revolving Loan Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments equal to at least 50% of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be subject to any such prohibition or restriction; or
(vi)    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 (including for purposes of this Section, participations in Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Advances and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 9.6 ; provided that (i) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 10.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 10.4 , 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 LIBO Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 10.1(e) or ( f) , 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 (including for purposes of this Section, participations in Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Advances and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and Section 9.6 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.
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 9.6(b)(iv) ) and the payment to the Administrative Agent by AGCO on behalf of such Affected Lender of the assignment fee specified in Section 9.6(b)(v) and any costs as a result of the assignment pursuant to Section 10.2 , 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 10.1 , 10.3 and 10.4 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 10.5(b) with respect to any Lender if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(a)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(iii)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

SCHEDULE 4.1(t)

Sanctions

AGCO International Holdings BV (“AGCO BV”) is currently engaged in two joint ventures with
the Russian company, GAZ Group. GAZ Group, together with its ultimate owner Oleg Deripaska, became subject to US sanctions in early April 2018.

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.

AGCO understands that GAZ Group is currently in negotiations with the United States Treasury Department and may seek to have sanctions lifted or the deadline extended further. AGCO is evaluating its options and will determine its course of action once the success or failure of those negotiations is known. In any event, AGCO is committed to having its interest in these joint venture be in compliance with sanctions laws and has been working with its US, Dutch and Russian counsel to ensure such compliance.
