provided, however, that:

(A) if Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been

Incurred on the first day of such period and the discharge of any other Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period,

(B) if Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if Goodyear or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness,

(C) if since the beginning of such period Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, the EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to Goodyear and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Disposition for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent Goodyear and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale),

(D) if since the beginning of such period Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit, division or line of a business, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the

Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period, and

(E) if since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Asset Disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (C) or (D) above if made by Goodyear or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition of assets occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, Asset Disposition or other Investment, the amount of income, EBITDA or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible Financial Officer of Goodyear and shall comply with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X, as it may be amended or replaced from time to time, promulgated by the SEC.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term as at the date of determination in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is Incurred or repaid under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation.

“Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA” means, for any period, the Consolidated J.V. Net Income for such period, minus, to the extent included in calculating such Consolidated J.V.

Subsidiaries, in each case for such period (other than normal accruals in the ordinary course of business).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision for taxes based on the income or profits of, and the depreciation and amortization and noncash charges of, a Restricted J.V. Subsidiary shall be added to Consolidated J.V. Net Income to compute Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income of such Restricted J.V. Subsidiary was included in calculating Consolidated J.V. Net Income and only if (A) a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the European J.V. by such Restricted J.V.

Net Income,” such cash shall not be taken into account for the purposes of determining readily procurable cash under this clause (B). Consolidated European J.V.

If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in the currency in which such LC Disbursement is made, not later than 1:30 p.m., London time, on the second Business Day following the date on which such Borrower or the European J.V. shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Euros and is at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum for Swingline Loans but not greater than the amount then available to be borrowed as a Swingline Borrowing for the purposes of this Section 2.04(e), unless the applicable Borrower, or the European J.V. on its behalf, shall have notified the Administrative Agent to the contrary not later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on the Business Day next following the date on which such Borrower or the European J.V. shall have been notified of such LC Disbursement, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have requested in accordance with Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Swingline Borrowing on such Business Day in an equivalent amount and, to the extent the condition precedent to such Swingline Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02(b) is satisfied, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged with the proceeds of the requested Swingline Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due and such Borrower is not entitled to make a Swingline Borrowing in the amount of such payment, (A) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Euro Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rates on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each ABT Lender of such LC Disbursement, the Euro Equivalent of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s ABT Percentage thereof, and each ABT Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date such notice is received its ABT Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to ABT Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the ABT Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the ABT Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that ABT Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing

Bank as their interests may appear. No payment made by an ABT Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall constitute a Loan or relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the reimbursement by a Borrower of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Euros, such Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or Lender or (y) reimburse in Euros each LC Disbursement made in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling, in an amount equal to the Euro Equivalent, calculated using the applicable LC Exchange Rate on the date such LC Disbursement is reimbursed (or on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, if such date shall have occurred), of such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any claim or defense against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including the underlying transaction between any Borrower or any J.V. Subsidiary and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit), (v) the occurrence of any Default or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense against, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any damages suffered by such Borrower or any Lender that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable

Issuing Bank may, acting in good faith, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not (i) relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement or (ii) relieve any Lender’s obligation to acquire participations as required pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.04.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in Euros, and at all times following the conversion to Euros of an LC Disbursement made in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, at the Swingline Rate plus 2.50% per annum, (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, at all times prior to its conversion to Euros pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the First Lien Agreement) plus 2.50% per annum, and (iii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in Pounds Sterling, at all times prior to its conversion to Euros pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, a rate per annum reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus 2.50% per annum; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the accounts of the ABT Lenders to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the European J.V., the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term

“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the earlier of (i) the third Business Day after the European J.V. shall receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph and (ii) the date on which the maturity of the Loans shall be accelerated or the ABT Commitments terminated, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account or accounts with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed LC Disbursements and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon. Amounts payable under the preceding sentence in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be payable in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, except that LC Disbursements in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling in respect of which the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in Euros as provided in paragraph (e) above and interest accrued thereon shall be payable in Euros. The obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account or accounts. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investment shall be in Temporary Cash Investments and shall be made in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account or accounts. Moneys in such account or accounts shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the LC Exposures and the Issuing Banks with outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral under this paragraph, then (1) if the maturity of the Loans has not been accelerated and the LC Exposure shall be reduced to an amount below the amount so deposited, the Administrative Agent will return to the Borrowers any excess of the amount so deposited over the LC Exposure and (2) such amount (to the extent not applied as provided above in this paragraph) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(l) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Borrowers are at the time or become thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling (other than amounts in respect of which the Borrowers have deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Euro Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Euros at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the ABT Availability Period in Euros in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding €25,000,000, or, for the purposes of a Swingline Borrowing to reimburse an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(e), exceeding €50,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate amount of the ABT Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments, provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an

outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan; provided that if at any time an LC Disbursement denominated in Euros shall be made in an amount at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum for Swingline Loans but not greater than the amount then available to be borrowed as a Swingline Borrowing for purposes of Section 2.04(e), a notice of a Swingline Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of such LC Disbursement shall be deemed to have been timely given as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) unless the applicable Borrower, or the European J.V. on behalf of such Borrower, shall have given notice to the contrary to the Administrative Agent, or shall have repaid such LC Disbursement, not later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on the Business Day next following the date on which such Borrower or the European J.V. shall have been notified of such LC Disbursement. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the applicable Borrower or by the European J.V. on behalf of such Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan, which shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from a Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to an account of such Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender by 3:00 p.m., London time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender at its option may make any Swingline Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of the Swingline Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan, or the obligation of any Lender to acquire a participation therein, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, London time, on any Business Day (each date on which such notice is given, a “Notice Date”) require the ABT Lenders to acquire participations on the second Business Day after the Notice Date in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and such Swingline Loans shall be continued on the second Business Day after the Notice Date as a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one week’s duration; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not give such notice to the Administrative Agent unless it shall have first given the applicable Borrower notice by 2:00 p.m., London time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Notice Date of its intent to give such notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall not have given the Swingline Lender notice by 9:00 a.m., London time, on the Notice Date that it agrees to repay such Swingline Loans on or prior to the second Business Day after the Notice Date. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which ABT Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such

notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each ABT Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s ABT Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each ABT Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s ABT Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each ABT Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each ABT Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the ABT Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the ABT Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the ABT Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:30 p.m., London time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (which account, in the case of Lux Tires, shall be an account held by Lux Tires outside of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg); provided that Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent will transfer the applicable funds to the applicable Borrower by 2:00 p.m., London time, that have been transferred by Lenders to the Administrative Agent in respect of Loans made by such Lenders on the proposed date of a Borrowing.

(b) Unless the 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 the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the 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 such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. It is agreed that no payment by any Borrower under this paragraph will be subject to any break-funding payment under Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.07. Continuation of Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the relevant Borrower may elect to continue such Borrowing, and may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The relevant Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make a continuation pursuant to this Section, the European J.V. on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such continuation by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03. Each such telephonic Continuation Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Continuation Request signed by the European J.V. on behalf of the applicable Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Continuation Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Continuation Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Continuation Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Continuation Request does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Continuation Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Continuation Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing on or prior to the third Business Day preceding the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and does not by such time notify the Administrative Agent that it intends to prepay such Eurocurrency Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period), then such Borrowing shall be repaid at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the European J.V., then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be continued at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.08. Termination of Commitments; Reductions of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments and each LC Commitment shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The European J.V. may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche; provided that (i) each reduction of such Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and not less than €5,000,000, (ii) the European J.V. shall not terminate or reduce the ABT Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the ABT Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate amount of the ABT Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments and (iii) the European J.V. shall not terminate or reduce the German Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the German Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate amount of the German Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of the German Commitments.

(c) The European J.V. shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Tranche under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the European J.V. pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of all the Revolving Commitments under any Tranche delivered by the European J.V. may state that such

notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or financings, in which case such notice may be revoked by the European J.V. (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Tranche shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Tranche shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Tranche.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Borrowing of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the 10th Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided, however, that on each date that an ABT Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans that are outstanding on the date such ABT Borrowing is made. The Borrowers will repay the principal amount of each Loan and the accrued interest thereon in the currency of such Loan.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made or held by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein (including any failure to record the making or repayment of any Loan) shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prevent any Borrower’s obligations in respect of Loans from being discharged to the extent of amounts actually paid in respect thereof.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C-1 hereto, in the case of ABT Loans, or Exhibit C-2 hereto, in the case of German Loans. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be

represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. [intentionally omitted]

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of such Borrower in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, or the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures under any Tranche exceeds the sum of the Commitments under such Tranche, the European J.V. shall (and/or shall cause other Borrowers to) prepay Revolving Borrowings, or Revolving Borrowings of the applicable Tranche, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and in the event that after such prepayment of Borrowings any such excess shall remain, the European J.V. shall (and/or shall cause other Borrowers to) deposit cash in an amount equal to such excess as collateral for the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers in respect of Letters of Credit. Any cash so deposited (and any cash previously deposited pursuant to this paragraph) with the Administrative Agent shall be held in an account over which the Administrative Agent shall have dominion and control to the exclusion of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, including the exclusive right of withdrawal. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investment shall be in Temporary Cash Investments and shall be made in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (or, at any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be made at the direction of the European J.V.) and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Majority Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers have provided cash collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers in respect of Letters of Credit, then, so long as no Event of Default shall exist, such cash collateral shall be released to the Borrowers if so requested by the European J.V. at any time if and to the extent that, after giving effect to such release, the aggregate amount of the ABT Credit Exposures would not exceed the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments.

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the European J.V. shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(d) The European J.V. shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 3:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment; provided that (i) if the Borrowers shall be required to make any prepayment hereunder by reason of Section 2.11(b), such notice shall be delivered not later than the time at which such prepayment is made and (ii) in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, such notice shall be delivered not later than 12:00 noon, London time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments under any Tranche as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than pursuant to Section 2.11(b)) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The European J.V. agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, an ABT Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding ABT Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (but not the Swingline Exposure of such Lender, which shall be disregarded for such purpose prior to the acquisition by such Lender of a participation therein pursuant to Section 2.05(c)).

(b) The European J.V. agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each ABT Lender, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the rate of 2.50% per annum on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s ABT Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between Goodyear and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during

the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank is reduced to zero and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the ABT Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the ABT Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, 365 days) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Goodyear agrees to pay (or to cause the European J.V. to pay) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Goodyear and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Banks, in the case of fees payable to them) for distribution, where applicable, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Revolving Loans comprising each Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.50% per annum. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Swingline Rate plus 2.50% per annum.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the interest rate that would have applied had such amount, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods of one month’s duration.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Tranche; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the

principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest on Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or any Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (an “Unavailability Notice”) to the European J.V. and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the European J.V. and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the rate of interest that shall apply to such Borrowing shall be such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus 2.50%. If an Unavailability Notice is delivered in respect of any Borrowing, the applicable Borrower may elect by notice to the Administrative Agent to revoke its request that such Borrowing be made or continued, in which event Section 2.16 shall not apply (except that Lenders shall be entitled to receive their actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and expenses, if any, in connection with such Borrowing not being made or continued).

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or

Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to be material, then the applicable Borrower (being the Borrower in respect of the affected Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material as a consequence of this Agreement or the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower (being the Borrower in respect of the affected Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the European J.V. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof, unless such amount is being contested by the European J.V. in good faith.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the European J.V. of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s

intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the European J.V. pursuant to Section 2.19 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the Borrower of such Loan shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency and of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the European J.V. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof, unless such amount is being contested by the European J.V. in good faith.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower or any other Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (and such Borrower or such Credit Party shall pay or Goodyear shall cause such Credit Party to pay such increased amount), (ii) such Borrower or such other Credit Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or such other Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 the European J.V. by a Lender, or Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes described in Section 2.17(a) (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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 taxing or other authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower or any other Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax under any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the European J.V. (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time such Foreign Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the European J.V. or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the European J.V. advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation; and provided further that no such written notice shall be required with respect to any documentation necessary to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (solely for the purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to

FATCA after the date of this Agreement) or the applicable IRS Form W-8 a Foreign Lender is required to deliver to Goodyear to permit payments to be made without withholding of U.S. Federal income tax (or at a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax). In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(f), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(g) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from withholding tax under the law of any jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the European J.V. for the account of the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the European J.V. or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Lender has received written notice from the European J.V. advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except as required or permitted under Section 2.06, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 or 9.03, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing or of any LC Disbursement, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of fees (other than fees payable to the Issuing Banks), each reduction of the Commitments and each refinancing of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans or LC Exposures). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Euro amount.

(b) The relevant Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., London time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest

thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account specified by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the European J.V., except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person in appropriate ratable shares to the appropriate recipient or recipients promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Euros, except as otherwise expressly provided. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans. If any such participations are purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence and all or any portion of the payments giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Commitment or any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline

Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the European J.V. or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law and under this Agreement, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the European J.V. prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the relevant Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount shall have been distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to or recovery by the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(c), 2.06(b), 2.18(e), 9.03(c) or any other provision requiring payment by such Lender for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall 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 Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The European J.V. hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then the European J.V. may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the European J.V. shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Borrowers, as the case may be and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then the European J.V., if requested to do so by any Issuing Bank, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the payment of any compensation) to identify an assignee willing to purchase and assume the interests, rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and to require such Lender to assign and delegate all such interests, rights and obligations to such assignee in accordance with the preceding sentence.

SECTION 2.20. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit H hereto, provided that no Lender may request the payment of any amount under this paragraph to the extent resulting from a requirement imposed (other than as provided in Section 2.15) on such Lender by any Governmental Authority (and not on Lenders or any class of Lenders generally) in respect of a concern expressed by such Governmental Authority with such Lender specifically, including with respect to its financial health.

(b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Loans such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans, provided that no Lender may request the payment of any amount under this paragraph to the extent resulting from a requirement imposed

(other than as provided in Section 2.15) on such Lender by any Governmental Authority (and not on Lenders or any class of Lenders generally) in respect of a concern expressed by such Governmental Authority with such Lender specifically, including with respect to its financial health.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, acting in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loans, and such additional interest so notified to the relevant Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loans.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (with each express reference to the term “ABT Percentage” meaning, with respect to any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.21, the percentage of the ABT Commitments disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s ABT Commitment represented by such Lender’s ABT Commitment):

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective ABT Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ ABT Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ ABT Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in

accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ ABT Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the ABT Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the

Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s ABT Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its ABT Percentage.

Goodyear represents and warrants to the Lenders as to itself and the Subsidiaries, the European J.V. represents and warrants to the Lenders as to itself and the J.V. Subsidiaries and each other Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as to itself and its subsidiaries that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Goodyear and each of the other Credit Parties is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, is qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Goodyear and each Borrower and constitutes, and each other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is or is to be a party constitutes or, when executed and delivered by such Credit Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Goodyear, such Borrower or such Credit Party, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. (a) Except to the extent that no Material Adverse Change would be materially likely to result, the Transactions (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as are required to perfect Liens created under the Security Documents and such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) do not and will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of Goodyear or any

Such financial statements of the European J.V. and Goodyear present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the European J.V. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and Goodyear and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, respectively, as of such dates and for such fiscal year in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2010, there has been no event or condition that constitutes or would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, it being agreed that a reduction in any rating relating to Goodyear issued by any rating agency shall not, in and of itself, be an event or condition that constitutes or would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change (but that events or conditions underlying or resulting from any such reduction may constitute or be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change).

(c) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2010, there has been no event or condition that constitutes or would be materially likely to result in a material adverse change in or effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition (including as a result of the effects of any contingent liabilities thereon) of the European J.V. and the J.V. Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of Goodyear, threatened against or affecting Goodyear or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that if adversely determined would be materially likely, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change or (ii) as of the Effective Date, that involve the Credit Documents or the Transactions.

(b) Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, and except with respect to matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, neither Goodyear nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.06. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of Goodyear and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to be in compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.07. Investment Company Status. Neither Goodyear nor any of the Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 3.08. ERISA. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change.

SECTION 3.09. Disclosure. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information referred to in Section 3.04 or delivered after the date hereof by or on behalf of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 (taken together with all other information so furnished and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contained or will contain, in each case as of the date delivered, any material misstatement of fact or omitted or will omit to state in each case as of the date delivered, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information or other forward looking information, Goodyear, the European J.V. and the other Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.10. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.10 sets forth (a) the name and jurisdiction of organization of, and the ownership interest of the European J.V. and its Subsidiaries in, each J.V. Subsidiary, and (b) identifies each J.V. Subsidiary that is a Principal European Subsidiary or a J.V. Loan Party or both, in each case as of the Effective Date. Each J.V. Subsidiary with Total Assets greater than $10,000,000 as of December 31, 2010, is set forth on Schedule 4.01(i).

SECTION 3.11. Security Interests. (a) The existing Security Agreements and the Security Agreements executed and delivered on the Effective Date, together with (i) the actions taken on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.01 and (ii) the actions required to be taken after the Effective Date pursuant to Annex I to the Disclosure Letter will, subject only to filings and similar actions that may be taken by the Collateral Agent without the delivery of any further documents or the taking of any further actions by any Credit Party, be effective under applicable law to create or continue in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or in favor of the Secured Parties, as the case may be), to the extent contemplated by the Security Agreements, a valid and enforceable security interest in all the Applicable Assets of each Grantor (other than Consent Assets of the J.V. Subsidiaries). The exclusion of the Consent Assets of the J.V. Subsidiaries from the Collateral does not materially reduce the aggregate value of the Collateral.

(b) None of the written information relating to the Collateral delivered by or on behalf of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provision of any Credit Document is or will be incorrect when delivered in any respect material to the rights or interests of the Lenders under the Credit Documents.

SECTION 3.12. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit will be used only for the purposes referred to in the preamble to this Agreement. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.

ARTICLE IV

(a) The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from Goodyear, each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks, and each Lender either (i) counterparts of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement signed on behalf of each such party or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement) that each such party has signed a counterpart of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, and from each Revolving Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement either (i) counterparts of the Master Assignment Agreement signed on behalf of each such party or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page

of the Master Assignment Agreement) that each such party has signed a counterpart of the Master Assignment Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have received favorable written opinions (addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and dated the Effective Date) of (i) Covington & Burling LLP, counsel for Goodyear, substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, (ii) the General Counsel, the Associate General Counsel or an Assistant General Counsel of Goodyear, substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2, and (iii) each of the counsel set forth in Schedule 4.01(b), in each case in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of each opinion referred to in this paragraph (b), covering such other matters relating to the Credit Parties, the Credit Documents or the Transactions as the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders shall reasonably request.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of each Credit Party, the authorization by the Credit Parties of the Transactions and any other legal matters relating to Goodyear, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Credit Documents or the Transactions, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects on the Effective Date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each of Goodyear and the European J.V. to that effect.

(e) Goodyear, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties shall be in compliance with all the terms and provisions set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents in all material respects on their part to be observed or performed, and at the time of and immediately after the Effective Date, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each of Goodyear and the European J.V. to that effect.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable or accrued on or prior to the Effective Date hereunder or under the Existing Credit Agreement, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the European J.V. or Goodyear hereunder.

(g) [intentionally omitted].

(h) The Lenders shall have received the financial statements and opinions referred to in Section 3.04.

(i) All outstanding Capital Stock of any J.V. Subsidiary directly owned by any Grantor at such time (other than Capital Stock in any Subsidiary with Total Assets not greater than $10,000,000 as of December 31, 2010), which J.V. Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 4.01(i), shall have been pledged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to Security Agreements to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of such Grantor.

The collateral requirements set forth above in this Section 4.01 are subject to any modifications thereto that the Administrative Agent and Goodyear may agree upon in light of general statutory limitations, “thin capitalization” rules, corporate interest or similar principles or applicable laws or regulations. In addition, the Collateral Agent may enter into agreements with the European J.V. to grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the delivery of surveys, title insurance, legal opinions or other documents with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Effective Date for the creation and perfection of security interests in the assets of the Grantors on such date) where it determines that creation or perfection cannot be accomplished or such documents cannot be delivered without undue effort or expense by the Effective Date or any later date on which they are required to be accomplished or delivered under this Agreement or the Security Documents. Any failure of the European J.V. to satisfy a requirement of any such agreement by the date specified therein (or any later date to which the Collateral Agent may agree) shall constitute a breach of the provision of this Agreement or the Security Document under which the original requirement was applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, it is anticipated that the actions listed on Annex I to the Disclosure Letter will not have been completed by the Effective Date, and the European J.V. covenants and agrees that each of such actions will be completed by the date specified for such action in such Annex I (or any later date to which the Collateral Agent may agree) and that the European J.V. will comply with all of the undertakings set forth in such Annex I.

The Loans made, the application of the proceeds thereof and the termination of existing Indebtedness on the Effective Date shall be deemed to occur as set forth in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the European J.V. and the Lenders of the Effective Date in writing, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall not become effective unless each

of the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or waived pursuant to Section 9.02) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., London time, on May 3, 2011 (and, in the event such conditions are not so satisfied or waived, the Commitments shall terminate at such time).

(i) The representations and warranties of Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower set forth in this Agreement and of each J.V Loan Party in the other Credit Documents (insofar as the representations and warranties in such other Credit Documents relate to the transactions provided for herein or to the Collateral securing the Obligations) shall be true and correct in all respects material to the rights or interests of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under the Credit Documents on and as of the date of such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date.

(ii) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no breach of the delivery requirements of Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The obligation of the Swingline Lender to make a Swingline Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing to reimburse an LC Disbursement made pursuant to Section 2.04(e) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the condition that at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c) Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (a) above or in subsection (b) above, as the case may be.

ARTICLE V

SECTION 5.04. Maintenance of Properties. Each of Goodyear and the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all its property in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except to the extent any failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit any sale of any assets permitted by Section 6.04) .

SECTION 5.05. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. Each of Goodyear and the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, keep books of record and account sufficient to enable each of Goodyear and the European J.V. to prepare the financial statements and other information required to be delivered under Section 5.01. Each of Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent (or by any Lender acting through the Administrative Agent), upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties (accompanied by a representative of Goodyear or the European J.V.) and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.

SECTION 5.06. Compliance with Laws. Each of Goodyear and the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, including Environmental Laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change.

SECTION 5.07. Insurance. Each of Goodyear and the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customary among companies of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and operating in the same or similar locations, except to the extent the failure to do so would not be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change. Goodyear will furnish to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon request, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained.

SECTION 5.08. Guarantees and Collateral. (a) In the event that there shall at any time exist any Principal European Subsidiary (other than a Consent Subsidiary) or any US Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or Consent Subsidiary) that shall not be a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, Goodyear will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, deliver to the Collateral Agent such information as the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably requested and a supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in substantially the form specified therein, duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Principal European Subsidiary or US Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to which such Principal European Subsidiary or such US Subsidiary, as the case may be, will become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and, in the case of a Principal European Subsidiary, a European Facilities Guarantor and European Facilities Grantor, or in the case of such US Subsidiary, a US Guarantor, in each case as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; provided that if a Financial Officer of Goodyear shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent certifying that Goodyear has determined (i) based upon the advice of French counsel, that the corporate benefit principles or other applicable law of the Republic of France would prohibit any Principal European Subsidiary organized under the laws of the Republic of France from duly authorizing a Guarantee of any of the Obligations, or (ii) based upon the advice of German counsel, that the applicable law of Germany would prohibit any Principal European Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Effective Date and organized under the laws of the Germany from duly authorizing a Guarantee of any of the Obligations, such Principal European Subsidiary shall not be required to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary will be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (a) if (i) such Subsidiary shall have received an opinion of counsel in the applicable jurisdiction that, under circumstances referred to in such opinion, such action would subject its officers or directors to a material risk of personal liability and (ii) there shall be a material risk that the circumstances referred to in such opinion will occur.

(b) In the event that any Grantor shall at any time directly own any Capital Stock of any J.V. Subsidiary (in each case other than (i) Capital Stock in any Subsidiary with Total Assets not greater than $10,000,000 as of December 31, 2010, or if later, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), (ii) Capital Stock in any Excluded Subsidiary or Consent Subsidiary and (iii) Capital Stock already pledged in accordance with this paragraph or Section 4.01), Goodyear will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, cause such Capital Stock to be pledged under a Security Agreement and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent determines that possession of any certificates representing any such Capital Stock would provide any benefit in respect of priority or otherwise under applicable law and requests delivery, cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent any certificates representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers or other instruments of transfer with respect thereto endorsed in blank; provided, that no Grantor shall be required to pledge any Capital Stock in any Subsidiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Republic of France, the United Kingdom or the Republic of Slovenia if a Financial Officer of Goodyear shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent certifying that Goodyear has determined, on the basis of reasonable inquiries in the jurisdiction of such Person, that such pledge would affect materially and adversely the ability of such Person to conduct its business in such jurisdiction. In the event that the tire manufacturing facilities of SAVA shall at any time be held by any Person other than SAVA, all the Capital Stock in such other Person shall be pledged under a Security Agreement.

(A) any Grantor shall at any time own any Applicable Assets (other than Consent Assets and Applicable Assets already pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to any Security Agreement) consisting of real property with a book value of $10,000,000 or more, the European J.V. will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, cause such Applicable Assets to be mortgaged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to one or more Security Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and such Grantor to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of such Grantor.

(B) at the end of any fiscal quarter, the Grantors, taken together, shall own any Applicable Assets or any assets that would be Applicable Assets if held by another Grantor (other than Consent Assets, Capital Stock in Subsidiaries and Applicable Assets already pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to any Security Agreement to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of the respective Grantors), with an aggregate book value greater than $50,000,000 that shall not have been pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to the Security Agreements to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of the respective Grantors, the European J.V. will, promptly after the delivery of financial statements under Section 5.01(a) or (b) with respect to such fiscal

quarter, notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days, (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, cause such Applicable Assets (other than assets that in the aggregate are not material) to be pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered by the Grantors pursuant to one or more Security Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and each applicable Grantor to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of the respective Grantors; or

(C) any Grantors, taken together, shall transfer the ownership of any assets that for such Grantors are Applicable Assets (other than (i) Consent Assets, (ii) any transfer of inventory in the ordinary course of business in connection with the sale thereof to be held on a short-term basis by the transferee and (iii) any transfer in the ordinary course of business of cash or other financial assets) to one or more J.V. Subsidiaries for which such assets are not Applicable Assets with an aggregate book value greater than $30,000,000, the European J.V. will, as soon as practicable in advance of such transfer (but in any event promptly following the occurrence of such transfer if prior notice is not practicable), notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days, (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, cause such Applicable Assets (other than assets that in the aggregate are not material) to be pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered by such J.V. Subsidiary or J.V. Subsidiaries pursuant to one or more Security Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and each applicable J.V. Subsidiary to secure, in the case of each such asset, the Applicable Secured Obligations of the Grantor that transferred such asset to such J.V. Subsidiary;

provided, that if a Financial Officer of Goodyear shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent certifying that Goodyear has determined (i) based upon the advice of French counsel, that the corporate benefit principles or other applicable law of the Republic of France would prohibit any Principal European Subsidiary organized under the laws of the Republic of France from duly authorizing the creation or perfection of any such security interest, or (ii) based upon the advice of German counsel, that the applicable law of Germany would prohibit any Principal European Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Effective Date and organized under the laws of the Germany from duly authorizing the creation or perfection of any such security interest, such Principal European Subsidiary shall not be required to create or perfect such security interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no J.V. Subsidiary will be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (c) with respect to any asset (other than Capital Stock, any other asset subject to the Lien of any Security Document pledging Capital Stock as of the Effective Date, or any bank account) if the perfection of a Lien on such asset is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than The Netherlands, the Federal Republic of Germany, Luxembourg, the Republic of France or the United Kingdom (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such asset shall not constitute an “Applicable Asset” and shall not count toward the dollar baskets in this paragraph (c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no J.V. Subsidiary will be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (c) if (i) such J.V. Subsidiary is a Grantor and shall have received an opinion of counsel in the applicable jurisdiction that, under circumstances referred to in such opinion, such action

would subject its officers or directors to a material risk of personal liability and there shall be a material risk that the circumstances referred to in such opinion will occur, or (ii) the total costs (including taxes) of any such action would be disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of such action. In the event that any Grantor that is organized under German law as a Kommanditgesellschaft (a “KG”) shall, at any time, be party to or enter into any kind of lease arrangement pursuant to which it leases PP&E with a value of more than $10,000,000 to one of its Affiliates that is organized under German law as a Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung (a “GmbH”), such KG will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and will, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) after such notification, assign all rights that it has to terminate such lease arrangement (and, if such right does not exist in such lease, amend such lease so that it shall be terminable at the election of the lessor at any time upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to the Collateral Agent under a Security Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of such Grantor.

(d) Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in order to cause the security interests purported to be created by the Security Documents or required to be created under the terms of this Agreement to constitute valid security interests, perfected in accordance with this Agreement.

(2) Indebtedness of Goodyear owed to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any subsequent event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to Goodyear or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof;

(3) Indebtedness (A) outstanding on the Effective Date (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (2) above and clause (12) below), and (B) consisting of Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (3) (including Indebtedness that is Refinancing Indebtedness) or the foregoing paragraph (a);

(9) any Guarantee by Goodyear or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of Goodyear or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness or other obligations by Goodyear or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Agreement (other than Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (4) above);

(10) (A) Indebtedness of Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries, including Indebtedness in respect of the J.V. Notes, in an aggregate principal amount that, when added to all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (10)(A) and then outstanding, will not exceed (i) $1,150,000,000 plus (ii) any amount then permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clause (1) above that Goodyear instead elects to Incur pursuant to this clause (10)(A); provided that (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness Incurred by the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (10)(A) (other than Indebtedness of the

European J.V. under the J.V. Notes) shall not, taken together with the Guarantees referred to in clause (y) (but without duplication of Indebtedness and Guarantees thereof to the extent both are incurred in reliance on this clause 10(A)), at any time exceed €350,000,000, and (y) any Guarantee of Indebtedness (other than (p) any Guarantee of the Obligations or (q) any Guarantee of Indebtedness Incurred by the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries by any J.V Loan Party (other than any J.V. Loan Party organized under the laws of Germany) or by any other Restricted J.V. Subsidiary that, if it Guarantees any Indebtedness of any J.V. Loan Party in an aggregate amount for all such Guarantees in excess of €25,000,000, provides a Guarantee of the Obligations satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) provided on or after the Effective Date by the European J.V. or any Restricted J.V.

Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (13) shall not at any time exceed €50,000,000.

(c) For purposes of determining the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 6.01:

(1) Outstanding Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the First Lien Agreement or the Second Lien Agreement prior

100

to or on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) above;

(2) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 6.01 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness; and

(3) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 6.01, Goodyear, in its sole discretion, shall classify such Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) as of the time of Incurrence and will only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses (provided that any Indebtedness originally classified as Incurred pursuant to Sections 6.01(b)(2) through (b)(13) may later be reclassified as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or any other of Sections 6.01(b)(2) through (b)(13) to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be Incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or one of Sections 6.01(b)(2) through (b)(13), as the case may be, if it were Incurred at the time of such reclassification).

(d) For purposes of determining compliance as of any date with any dollar or Euro denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or 6.01 Euro Equivalent, as the case may be, determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to dollars or Euros, as the case may be, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in dollars or Euros will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or 6.01 Euro Equivalent, as appropriate, of the Indebtedness Refinanced determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent or 6.01 Euro Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or 6.01 Euro Equivalent, as appropriate, of such excess will be determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred. For purposes of this Section 6.01:

“6.01 Euro Equivalent” means with respect to any monetary amount in a currency other than Euros, at any time of determination thereof, the amount of Euros obtained by converting such foreign currency involved in such computation into Euros at the spot rate for the purchase of Euros with the applicable foreign currency as published

101

in The Wall Street Journal in the “Exchange Rates” column under the heading “Currency Trading” on the date two Business Days prior to such determination.

“U.S. Dollar Equivalent” means with respect to any monetary amount in a currency other than dollars, at any time for determination thereof, the amount of dollars obtained by converting such foreign currency involved in such computation into dollars at the spot rate for the purchase of dollars with the applicable foreign currency as published in The Wall Street Journal in the “Exchange Rates” column under the heading “Currency Trading” on the date two Business Days prior to such determination.

SECTION 6.02. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) Goodyear shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to make any Restricted Payment if at the time Goodyear or such Restricted Subsidiary makes any Restricted Payment:

(1) a Default will have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(2) Goodyear could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 6.01(a); or

(3) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be determined in good faith by a Financial Officer of Goodyear, whose determination will be conclusive) declared or made subsequent to the Reference Date would exceed the sum, without duplication, of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter during which the Reference Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been filed with the SEC prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income will be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit);

(ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by Goodyear from the issuance or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) subsequent to the Reference Date (other than an issuance or sale to a Subsidiary of Goodyear and other than an issuance or sale to an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by Goodyear or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees) and 100% of any cash capital contribution received by Goodyear from its shareholders subsequent to the Reference Date;

(iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of Goodyear or its Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on Goodyear’s Consolidated

102

balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of Goodyear) subsequent to the Reference Date of any Indebtedness of Goodyear or its Restricted Subsidiaries issued after the Reference Date which is convertible or exchangeable for capital stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Goodyear (less the amount of any cash or the Fair Market Value of other property distributed by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange); and

(iv) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the net reduction in the Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such Investments and proceeds representing the return of capital (excluding dividends and distributions), in each case realized by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) to the extent such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to Goodyear’s Capital Stock in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments) previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.02(a) shall not prohibit the following Restricted Payments to the extent made by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the European J.V. or any J.V. Subsidiary:

(1) any Restricted Payment made out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or made by exchange for, Capital Stock of Goodyear (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of Goodyear or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by Goodyear or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees to the extent such sale to such an employee stock ownership plan or trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by Goodyear or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by Goodyear from its shareholders; provided, however, that:

(A) such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3), and

103

(B) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale applied in the manner set forth in Section 6.02(b)(1) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under Section 6.02(a)(3)(ii);

(2) any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of Subordinated Obligations of Goodyear or any US Subsidiary Guarantor (i) that are made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale of, other Subordinated Obligations (as defined in the First Lien Agreement and which (x) satisfy each of clauses (4) and (5) of the definition of Refinancing Indebtedness (as defined in the First Lien Agreement) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations being prepaid, repaid or Purchased and (y) may include Indebtedness Incurred under Section 6.01(a)) or the Net Cash Proceeds of a sale of Capital Stock of Goodyear; provided, in each case, that the public announcement of the launch of such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value is made within three months of such sale of Subordinated Obligations or Capital Stock, or (ii) if, at the time thereof, Goodyear shall, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value, have $150,000,000 or more of Available Commitments (as defined in the First Lien Agreement); provided, however, that each such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value under this paragraph (2) shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(3) dividends paid within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividends would have complied with this covenant; provided, however, that such dividends shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(4) any Purchase for value of Capital Stock of Goodyear or any of its Subsidiaries from employees, former employees, directors or former directors of Goodyear or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such employees, former employees, directors or former directors), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors under which such individuals purchase or sell or are granted the option to purchase or sell, shares of such Capital Stock; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such Purchases for value will not exceed $10,000,000 in any calendar year; provided further, however, that any of the $10,000,000 permitted to be applied for Purchases under this Section 6.02(b)(4) in a calendar year (and not so applied) may be carried forward for use in the following two calendar years; provided further, however, that such Purchases for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

104

(5) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued after the Reference Date pursuant to Section 6.01; provided, however, that such dividends shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(6) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price of such options; provided, however, that such Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(7) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of Subordinated Obligations of Goodyear and the US Subsidiary Guarantors from Net Available Cash; provided, however, that such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(8) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of Subordinated Obligations of Goodyear and the US Subsidiary Guarantors from Net Available Cash (assuming for purposes of the definition of Net Available Cash as used in this clause (8) that the Specified Asset Sale was an Asset Disposition) from the Specified Asset Sale set forth in clause (i) of the definition thereof within 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds; provided, however, that such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(9) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of any Indebtedness within 365 days of the Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(10) payments to holders of Capital Stock (or to the holders of Indebtedness that is convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock upon such conversion or exchange) in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares; provided, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

(11) [intentionally omitted], or

105

(12) any Restricted Payment in an amount which, when taken together with all Restricted Payments made after the Reference Date pursuant to this Section 6.02(b)(12), does not exceed $600,000,000; provided, however, that

(A) at the time of each such Restricted Payment, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); and

(B) such Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.02, the European J.V. shall not, and Goodyear and the European J.V. shall not permit any Restricted J.V. Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to make any Restricted Payment or Permitted J.V. Investment, except that:

(1) the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make any Permitted J.V. Investment other than, at any time when a Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom), (x) an Investment in any Person other than the European J.V., a Restricted J.V. Subsidiary or any Person that will be a Restricted J.V. Subsidiary after giving effect to such Investment in reliance on clause (5) of the definition of Permitted J.V. Investment or (y) an Investment in Goodyear or any Subsidiary of Goodyear other than the European J.V. or any Restricted J.V. Subsidiary in reliance on any of clauses (5), (6) or (8) of the definition of Permitted J.V. Investment;

(2) the European J.V. may declare and pay cash dividends ratably with respect to its Capital Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed 100% of cumulative net income (giving effect to losses) of the European J.V. and the J.V. Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, after January 1, 2003 (net of all such dividends paid in respect of such cumulative net income on or after January 1, 2003);

(3) the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make Restricted Payments with respect to their Equity Interests so long as such Restricted Payments are made ratably or on a basis more favorable to the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries than ratably;

(4) the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of Subordinated Obligations of the European J.V. or any Subsidiary Guarantor (i) that are made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale of, other Subordinated Obligations (which satisfy each of clauses (4), (5), (6) and (C) of the definition of Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the

106

Subordinated Obligations being prepaid, repaid or Purchased) or the Net Cash Proceeds of an equity contribution to the European J.V.; provided, in each case, that the public announcement of the launch of such prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value is made within three months of such sale of Subordinated Obligations or equity contribution;

(5) the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of any Indebtedness of the European J.V. or any Restricted J.V. Subsidiary within 365 days of the Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness;

(6) so long as at the time such Restricted Payment is made no Default will have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom), the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make repurchases, repayments or prepayments of Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not greater than $25,000,000 in any calendar year; and

(7) so long as at the time such Restricted Payment is made no Default will have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom), the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries may make repurchases, repayments or prepayments of Indebtedness of the European J.V. or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate amount not greater than $100,000,000 during the term of this Agreement;

provided, however, that each Restricted Payment made under any of paragraphs (1) through (7) shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3).

SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. Goodyear shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(B) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by

107

Goodyear (other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, in contemplation of, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by Goodyear) and outstanding on such date;

(C) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in Section 6.03(3)(A) or Section 6.03(3)(B) or this Section 6.03(3)(C) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in Section 6.03(3)(A) or Section 6.03(3)(B) or this Section 6.03(3)(C); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing agreement or amendment are no less favorable in any material respect to the Lenders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements;

(D) in the case of Section 6.03(3), any encumbrance or restriction:

(i) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any such lease, license or other contract; or

(i) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant contained in such Indebtedness or agreement; or

(ii) at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred, such encumbrance or restriction is not expected to materially affect Goodyear’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Obligations, as determined in good faith by a Financial Officer of Goodyear, whose determination shall be conclusive.

SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) Goodyear shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

111

time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate,

(2) that, in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000,

(A) are set forth in writing, and

(B) have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors having no personal stake in such Affiliate Transaction; and

(7) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Goodyear;

112

(8) any agreement as in effect on the Effective Date described in Goodyear’s SEC filings as filed on or prior to the Effective Date, or any renewals, extensions or amendments of any such agreement (so long as such renewals, extensions or amendments are not less favorable in any material respect to Goodyear or its Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced thereby;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are fair to Goodyear or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; or

(10) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the European J.V. will not, nor will it permit any Restricted J.V.

Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties in the reasonable judgment of the European J.V., (ii) transactions between or among the European J.V. and the Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate and (iii) any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 6.02.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Liens. Goodyear shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien of any nature whatsoever on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Effective Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, except:

115

(1) such new Lien shall be limited to all or part of the same property that secured the original Lien (plus improvements, accessions, proceeds, dividends or distributions in respect thereof); and

(2) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien at such time is not increased to any amount greater than the sum of:

(A) the outstanding principal amount or, if greater, committed amount of the Indebtedness secured by Liens described under clauses (h), (i), (j) or (k) at the time the original Lien became a permitted Lien under this Agreement; and

(B) an amount necessary to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums, related to such Refinancings;

For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Section or any other provision of this Agreement to “assets not constituting Collateral” (or any similar phrase) means assets that (a) are not subject to any Lien securing the Obligations and (b) are not and (absent a change in facts) will not be required under the terms of this Agreement or the Security Documents to be made subject to any Lien securing the Obligations by reason of the nature of, or the identity of the Subsidiary owning, such assets (and not as a result of the existence of any other Lien or any legal or contractual provision preventing such assets from being made subject to Liens securing the Obligations).

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. Goodyear shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:

Loan Party upon the consummation of such merger), (iii) any sale of a Restricted Subsidiary made in accordance with Section 6.04 may be effected by a merger of such Restricted Subsidiary and (iv) any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to Goodyear or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

118

provided that any Investment that takes the form of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation (other than any merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving Goodyear) expressly permitted by Section 6.02 shall be permitted by this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09. European J.V. Leverage Ratio. The European J.V. will not permit the ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter of (a) Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness at such date to (b) Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended at such date, to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

SECTION 6.10. Sumitomo Ownership. Goodyear will not enter into any agreement, or agree to amend, modify or waive any existing agreement, between it and Sumitomo Rubber Industries or agree to amend, modify or waive any organizational document of the European J.V., if the effect thereof is to permit Sumitomo Rubber Industries to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the European J.V. owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries to any Person other than Goodyear or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Goodyear.

SECTION 6.11. German Subsidiary Matters.

Subsidiaries organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as of the end of the then most recently ended period for which financial statements have been delivered under Section 5.01(a) or (b).

(which notice will be given at the request of any Lender); provided, that the failure of any Credit Party to perform any covenant, condition or agreement made in any Credit Document (other than this Agreement (except the agreements under Section 5.01(f)) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure shall be (i) wilful or (ii) material to the rights or interests of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;

(f) Goodyear or any Consolidated Subsidiary of Goodyear shall fail to make any payment of principal in respect of any Material Indebtedness at the scheduled due date thereof and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable grace period, or any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness (other than any Qualified Receivables Transaction existing on March 31, 2003) becoming due or being required to be prepaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or terminated prior to its scheduled maturity (other than, in the case of any Qualified Receivables Transaction, any event or condition not caused by an act or omission of Goodyear or any Subsidiary, if Goodyear shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that after the termination of such Qualified Receivables Transaction Goodyear and the Subsidiaries that are a party thereto have sufficient liquidity to operate their businesses in the ordinary course); provided that this clause (f) shall not apply to (i) secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) Material Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary if Goodyear is unable, due to applicable law restricting Investments in such Foreign Subsidiary, to make an Investment in such Foreign Subsidiary to fund the payment of such Material Indebtedness;

(m) any Guarantee of the Obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall fail to be a valid, binding and enforceable Guarantee of one or more Subsidiary Guarantors where such failure would constitute or be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change; or

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall, by notice to the European J.V., take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments and each LC Commitment shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the European J.V. and the other Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Goodyear and each Borrower and (iii) demand cash collateral with respect to any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04(j) (it being agreed that such demand will be deemed to have been made with respect to all Letters of Credit if any Loans are declared to be due and payable as provided in the preceding clause (ii)); and in case of any event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, and the Borrowers’ obligation to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit shall become effective, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Goodyear and each Borrower.

SECTION 7.02. CAM Exchange. On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Section 7.01, (ii) each ABT Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Lender’s ABT Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date,

122

(iii) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (iv) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations under each Class of Loans and in respect of the LC Exposures and the Swingline Exposures such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under each Class of Loans and in respect of the LC Exposures and the Swingline Exposures in which it shall participate as of such date (including the principal, interest and fee obligations of each Borrower in respect of the Loans and LC Disbursements within each such Class), such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each Class of Loans and in respect of the LC Exposures and the Swingline Exposures (including the principal, interest and fee obligations of each Borrower in respect of the Loans and LC Disbursements within each such Class), and (iv) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (iii) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Euro Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of the Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Euro at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04, Goodyear and each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. After the CAM Exchange Date, Goodyear, each Borrower, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Agents all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Agents shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of Goodyear, any Borrower or any Issuing Bank to execute or deliver or of any Issuing Bank or Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Credit Document in respect of the Designated Obligations, and each distribution made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Designated Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of a Designated Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

SECTION 7.03. Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any LC Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or with the proceeds of a Borrowing, each ABT Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Euro equal to such Lender’s ABT Percentage of the Euro Equivalent of such Lender’s participation in the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit and (to the extent it has not already done so) such Lender’s participation in such unreimbursed LC Disbursement, as applicable,

123

together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an unreimbursed LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the ABT Lenders as provided above. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Euro Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit shall be the amount in Euros determined by the Administrative Agent to be required in order for the Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such participation in such undrawn Letter of Credit in such currency in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the LC Exposures, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Credit Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.04.

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.05(e)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 7.03, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 7.02. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account

124

of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of each applicable Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment.

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Temporary Cash Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

SECTION 7.04. Collections. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the decision of the Required Lenders to exercise remedies under the guarantees and security documents, any proceeds are received in respect of any Guarantee of the Obligations or any Collateral securing the Obligations, in each case of any J.V. Loan Party, Goodyear or any US Subsidiary Guarantor other than the J.V. Subsidiaries organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, such proceeds shall be deposited in a collateral account in the name of and under the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent and shall be held by the Collateral Agent until such time as the Collateral Agent determines that either (i) all proceeds that are reasonably likely to be realized from GDTG and its subsidiaries organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or from their respective assets have been realized or (ii) the application of such funds held in such account to pay the Obligations shall result in the payment in full of all the Obligations, at which time such funds held in such account shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.03 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Agents as its agents and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

125

The bank or banks serving as the Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their capacity as Lenders or Issuing Banks as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though they were not Agents, and such bank or banks and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Goodyear or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if they were not Agents hereunder.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (a) the Agents shall not (save as expressly set out in any Credit Document) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agents shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agents are required to exercise in writing by the Majority Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information communicated to the Agents by or relating to Goodyear or any Subsidiary. The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, or in the absence of their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In addition, the Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agents by Goodyear, the European J.V. or a Lender or Issuing Bank, and the Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agents.

The Agents 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 believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely upon any statement made to them orally or by telephone and believed by them to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Goodyear or the European J.V.), independent accountants and other experts selected by them with reasonable care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agents may perform any and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agents. The Agents and any such sub-agent may perform any and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the

126

preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agents and any such sub-agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the European J.V. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the European J.V.’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required from the European J.V. if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the European J.V.’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or an Affiliate thereof, in each case with a net worth of at least $1,000,000,000 and an office in New York, New York. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own 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 Agents or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (a) acknowledges that the Administrative Agent is not acting as an agent of Goodyear or any Borrower and that neither Goodyear nor any Borrower will be responsible for acts or failures to act on the part of the Administrative Agent and (b) exempts each Agent from the restrictions set forth in Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Burgerliches Gesetzbuch).

Without prejudice to the provisions of this Article VIII, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent) to act as the Person holding the power of attorney (in such capacity, the “fondé de pouvoir”) of the Lenders and Issuing Banks as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties which are conferred upon the fondé de pouvoir under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the Person

127

holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent) (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to hold and to be the sole registered holder of any debenture which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of the Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law. In this respect, (i) the Custodian shall keep a record indicating the names and addresses of, and the pro rata portion of the obligations and indebtedness secured by any pledge of any such debenture and owing to each Lender and Issuing Bank, and (ii) each Lender and Issuing Bank will be entitled to the benefits of any charged property covered by any hypothec and will participate in the proceeds of realization of any such charged property, the whole in accordance with the terms hereof.

Each of the fondé de pouvoir and the Custodian shall (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to fondé de pouvoir and the Custodian (as applicable) with respect to the charged property under any hypothec, any debenture or pledge thereof relating to any hypothec, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, any debenture or pledge thereof relating to any hypothec, applicable laws or otherwise and on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any Person who becomes a Lender or an Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (y) the fondé de pouvoir as the Person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank, all actions taken by the fondé de pouvoir in such capacity, (z) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right

129

or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Goodyear, the European J.V. or any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuing of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Goodyear, the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders or, in the case of any other Credit Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and the Credit Party or Credit Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Majority Lenders (except, in the case of any Security Document, as provided in the next sentence or in the last paragraph of Section 9.14); provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend the expiration date of the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive all or part of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fee payable hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any fee, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) release all or substantially all the Credit Parties from their Guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release any Credit Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or release any material Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of Lenders having aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments representing at least a 66-2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at such time, (vi) change any provision of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document to alter the amount or allocation of any payment to be made to the Secured Parties without the consent of each adversely affected Lender, (vii) change Section 2.15 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of any payment without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (ix) change any provision of any Credit Document in a manner that by its terms

130

adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently from those holding Loans of the other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of the affected Class, or (x) change any provision of Section 2.21 or of the definition of “Bankruptcy Event”, “Defaulting Lender”, “DL Party” or “Lender parent” without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under any Credit Document, or any provision of any Credit Document providing for payments by or to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of any Issuing Bank, any provision of Section 2.04 affecting such Issuing Bank or any provision relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the Swingline Lender, any provision of Section 2.05 affecting the Swingline Lender or any provision relating to the purchase of participations in Swingline Loans), in each case without the prior written consent of such Agent or Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the rights or interests of any Lender shall not be adversely affected in any material respect, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document may be amended without the consent of the Majority Lenders (A) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or (B) to provide for the addition of any assets or classes of assets to the Collateral. Any amendment, modification or waiver or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the ABT Lenders (but not the German Lenders) or the German Lenders (but not the ABT Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Goodyear, the Borrowers and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Goodyear, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby or if their consent would be required under the preceding provisions of this paragraph, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) and the Lenders that will remain parties hereto after giving effect to such amendment if (1) by the terms of such agreement the Commitments of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (2) in connection with the effectiveness of such amendment, each Lender not consenting thereto shall receive payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement (it being understood that such non-consenting Lenders shall cease to be Lenders upon the termination of any such Commitments and the making of such payment in full).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended on one occasion to establish one or more new Classes of Revolving Commitments by converting the currency in which existing Revolving Commitments are denominated from Euros to like amounts of US Dollars (based on exchange rates prevailing at or about the date of such conversion, as determined based on a reference page to be agreed upon), by an

agreement in writing entered into by each applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender that shall agree to such conversion of all or part of its Revolving Commitment and treating such converted Revolving Commitments, as applicable, as one or more new Classes. Any such agreement shall amend the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to set forth the terms of each Class of Revolving Commitments established thereby and to effect such other changes (including changes to the provisions of this Section, Section 2.18 and the definition of “Majority Lenders”) as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in connection with the establishment of any such Class; provided that no such agreement shall (i) effect any change described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (viii) of paragraph (b) of this Section without the consent of each Person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however, that any conversion of the currency in which Revolving Commitment are denominated or the establishment of any new Class of Revolving Commitments in connection therewith and the amendments in connection therewith that are referred to in this paragraph will not, of themselves, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in clauses (i) through (vii) of such paragraph (b)), (ii) amend Article V, VI or VII to establish any affirmative or negative covenant, Event of Default or remedy that by its terms benefits one or more Classes, but not all Classes, of Loans or Borrowings without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Loans and Commitments of each Class not so benefited or (iii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that creates rights in favor of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any existing Class, other than as necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to cause such provision to take into account, or to make the benefits of such provision available to, Lenders holding such new Class of Revolving Commitments. The Loans, Commitments and Borrowings of any Class established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans, Commitments and Borrowings under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Security Documents supporting the respective Classes of Loans of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, and the European J.V. and the Borrowers shall cause the Grantors to take all such actions as shall be required to ensure that they do so benefit. At any time the Borrowers wish to establish a new Class of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall offer each Lender the opportunity to convert its applicable Revolving Commitments. If a greater amount is tendered for conversion than the Borrowers wish to convert, the Revolving Commitments of each tendering Lender shall be accepted for conversion on a pro rata basis based on the percentage of all the applicable Revolving Commitments tendered by all Lenders represented by the amount tendered by such Lender.

(a) The European J.V. shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Arrangers and their Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Agents and the Arrangers, and Allen & Overy and other local and foreign counsel for the Agents and the Arrangers, limited to one per jurisdiction, in connection with the Security Documents and

the creation and perfection of the Liens created thereby and other local and foreign law matters) in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or similar negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letter of Credit. The European J.V. shall pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the creation and perfection of the security interests contemplated by this Agreement, including all filing, recording and similar fees and, as more specifically set forth above, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction).

(b) The European J.V. shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee and arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the syndication and arrangement of the credit facilities provided for herein, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations or the exercise by the parties hereto of their rights hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the European J.V. or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the European J.V. or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses shall have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or the breach by such Indemnitee of obligations set forth herein or in any other Credit Document.

133

(c) To the extent that the European J.V. fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, Arranger, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on the outstanding Loans and LC Exposures and unused Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders (or, if the Commitments of any Class shall have terminated and there shall be no outstanding Loans or LC Exposures of such Class, based on the Loans and LC Exposures and unused Commitments of such Class most recently in effect)) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, Arranger, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be in its capacity as such.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Indemnitees and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, Indemnitees, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (including any CLO or other Approved Fund) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the European J.V.; provided that no consent of the European J.V. shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Federal Reserve Bank or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided further that the consent of the European J.V. shall be required for an assignment by any Revolving Lender to any Person (other than a Revolving Lender or a Federal Reserve Bank);

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Federal Reserve Bank or an Approved Fund; provided further that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for

134

an assignment by any Revolving Lender to any Person (other than a Revolving Lender or a Federal Reserve Bank); and

(C) in the case of any assignment of an ABT Commitment or any interests in a Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Federal Reserve Bank.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than €1,000,000 or, if smaller, the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment in the applicable Class unless each of the European J.V. and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, provided (i) that no such consent of the European J.V. shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) in the event of concurrent assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor or by affiliated investment advisors, all such concurrent assignments shall be aggregated in determining compliance with this subsection;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of €2,000; provided that in the event of concurrent assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor or by affiliated investment advisors, only one such fee shall be payable; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (including those specified under Section 9.15), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement

135

(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. Each assignment hereunder shall be deemed to be an assignment of the related rights under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other applicable Security Document.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive 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 pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof that have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any of the foregoing, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or the performance or observance by the Credit Parties of any of their obligations under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished

136

pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) each of the assignee and the assignor represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of any amendments or consents entered into prior to the date of such Assignment and Assumption and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agents, such assigning Lender 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; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to them by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii) such assignee agrees that it will not book any Loan or hold any participation in any Letter of Credit, LC Disbursement or Swingline Loan at an Austrian branch or through an Austrian Affiliate and will comply with Section 9.20 of this Agreement; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(vii) Upon any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), the European J.V. (or the Administrative Agent, at the expense of the European J.V.) shall promptly notify each Subsidiary Guarantor organized under the laws of the Republic of France of such assignment by bailiff (huissier) in accordance with Article 1690 of the French Civil Code. If such assignment is made without the European J.V.’s consent, the Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice of such assignment to the European J.V.

(viii) For the purposes of Article 1278 et seq. of the French Civil Code, each party hereto agrees that upon any novation under this Section 9.04(b), the security interests created and Guarantees made pursuant to the Security Documents shall be preserved for the benefit of the assignee and the other Secured Parties.

(ix) For the purposes of Italian law only, any assignment made under an Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to constitute a cessione del contratto. Furthermore, the European J.V. hereby expressly consents to any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04(b) by any Revolving Lender to any other Revolving Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Goodyear, the European J.V., any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with

137

such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant to which it has sold a participation and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such participant’s interest in the Loans or other rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or other rights and obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or 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 under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 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 that affects such Participant and that, under Section 9.02, would require the consent of each affected Lender. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the European J.V.’s prior written consent, which consent shall specifically refer to this exception.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and

138

shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit or the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Issuing Bank Agreements and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, the amendment and restatement of this Agreement contemplated by the Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Amendment and Restatement Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Each financial institution that shall be party to an Issuing Bank Agreement executed by the European J.V. and the Administrative Agent shall be a party to and an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and shall have all the rights and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder and under its Issuing Bank Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into Issuing Bank Agreements.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. No failure to obtain any approval required for the effectiveness of any provision of this Agreement shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article VII, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

139

provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Person may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Goodyear, the European J.V. and each other Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and

141

Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Alternate Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14. Security Documents. (a) Each Secured Party hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver each Security Document. Each Lender, by executing and delivering this Agreement, acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and approves and agrees to be bound by and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other Security Document, specifically including, without limitation, (i) the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (governing the distribution of proceeds realized from the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), (ii) the provisions of Article VI of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (governing the manner in which the amounts of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) are to be determined at any time), (iii) the provisions of Articles VIII and IX of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and providing for the indemnification and the reimbursement of expenses of the Collateral Agent by the Lenders), and (iv) the provisions of Section 11.13 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (providing for releases of Guarantees of and Collateral securing the Obligations). Each party hereto further agrees that the parties to the other Security Documents shall perform their obligations thereunder in accordance with the foregoing provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(b) In addition, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby consents to, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on its behalf to enter into, any amendment of the Credit Documents that provides for the Collateral to secure, with a priority not greater than that of the Liens securing the Obligations, Swap Agreements entered into with any Lender or with any lender under any Credit Facilities Agreement and any refinancings thereof and for Guarantees by the Guarantors of such Swap Agreements, provided that the applicable approvals for such amendments have been obtained under each applicable Credit Facilities Agreement (other than this Agreement) and the documentation governing any such refinancing.

(c) In case of any transfer of all or any part of the rights and obligations of any Secured Party on the Effective Date or at any other time under the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, including of the Applicable Secured Obligations, the guarantees and security interests under the Security Documents will remain in full force and effect for the benefit of any successors, assignees/transferees of the respective Secured Party and the other Secured Parties (including, but not limited to, for the benefit of Article 1134 of the Romanian Civil Code).

SECTION 9.15. Collateral Agent as Joint and Several Creditor. (a) Each Secured Party and each Credit Party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be the joint and

142

several creditor (together with the relevant other Secured Parties) of each and every payment obligation of each Credit Party towards each of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents or, to the extent included in the Obligations, under any Swap Agreement or arising out of or in connection with cash management or other similar services provided by any Secured Party and that accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own independent rights to demand from each Credit Party in satisfaction of those obligations and shall hold any security interest created pursuant to any Security Document to secure those obligations in its own name, and not solely as agent or mandatory (lasthebber) for the Secured Parties, with full and unrestricted entitlement to and authority in respect of such security interest; provided that it is expressly acknowledged that any discharge of any payment obligation to either of the Collateral Agent or the relevant Secured Parties shall to the same extent discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against each Credit Party (whether under this Section 9.15 or on any other provisions of the Credit Documents), the Collateral Agent agrees with each Secured Party that it will not exercise its right as joint and several creditor with such Secured Party except with the prior written consent of such Secured Party; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this sentence in any way limits the Collateral Agent’s rights to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document as contemplated by this Agreement and the relevant Security Documents.

The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby (and each Affiliate of a Lender by entering into an Affiliate Authorization thereby) relieve the Collateral Agent from the self-dealing restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code and the Collateral Agent may also relieve agents and attorneys appointed pursuant to the powers granted under this Section 9.18 from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code. For the purposes of Italian law, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and each Affiliate of a Lender by entering into an Affiliate Authorization thereby) expressly authorizes the Collateral Agent (and any agents and attorneys appointed under this Section 9.18) to act under a conflict of interest and self-dealing (including, but not limited to, a situation in which the Collateral Agent acts simultaneously in the name and/or on behalf (a) of any Secured Party, on the one hand, and (b) of any Credit Party, on the other hand) solely in relation to this Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents. Any attorney appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.18 may grant sub-power to a sub-attorney in the same scope.

SECTION 9.20. Austrian Matters.

(a) Notices with respect to Austria. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will (i) only send notices and other written references to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the Agreement, the Credit Documents and any notices or other written references to the Agreement or any other Credit Document, each, a “Stamp Duty Sensitive Document”) to or from Austria by email which do not contain the signature of any party (whether manuscript or electronic, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the name of an individual or other entity) and (ii) not send fax or scanned copies of a signed Stamp Duty Sensitive Document to or from Austria.

147

(b) Agreement to be Kept Outside Austria. No party to this Agreement shall bring or send to or otherwise produce in Austria (x) an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document, or (y) a copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document signed or endorsed by one or more parties other than in the event that:

(i) this does not cause a liability of a party to this Agreement to pay stamp duty in Austria;

(ii) a party to this Agreement wishes to enforce any of its rights under or in connection with such Stamp Duty Sensitive Document in Austria and is only able to do so by bringing, sending to or otherwise producing in Austria (x) an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy of the relevant Stamp Duty Sensitive Document or (y) a copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document signed or endorsed by one or more parties and it would not be sufficient for that party to bring, send to or otherwise produce in Austria a simple copy (i.e. a copy which is not an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy) of the relevant Stamp Duty Sensitive Document for the purposes of such enforcement. In connection with the foregoing, each party to this Agreement agrees that in any form of proceedings in Austria simple copies may be submitted by either party to this Agreement and undertakes to refrain from (I) objecting to the introduction into evidence of a simple copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document or raising a defence to any action or to the exercise of any remedy for the reason of an original or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document not having been introduced into evidence, unless such simple copy actually introduced into evidence does not accurately reflect the content of the original document and (II) contesting the authenticity (Echtheit) of a simple copy of any such Stamp Duty Sensitive Document before an Austrian court or authority, unless such simple copy does not accurately reflect the content of the original document; or

(iii) a party to this Agreement is required by law, governmental body, court, authority or agency pursuant to any law or legal requirement (whether for the purposes of initiating, prosecuting, enforcing or executing any claim or remedy or enforcing any judgment or otherwise), to bring an original, notarised copy or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document into Austria.

(c) Austrian Stamp Duty. Notwithstanding any other provisions in any of the Credit Documents, if any liability to pay Austrian stamp duties is triggered:

(i) as a result of a party to this Agreement (1) breaching its obligations under paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, or (2) booking its Loans or making or accepting performance of any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents through an entity organized under the laws of the Republic of Austria or a branch or an Affiliate, located or organized in the Republic of Austria, of an entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Republic of Austria, that party shall pay such stamp duties; and

148

(ii) in circumstances other than those described in clause (i) of this paragraph (c), the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of all such stamp duties.

(d) Place of Performance Outside Austria. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the exclusive place of performance (Erfüllungsort) for all rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be outside the Republic of Austria, and the payment of amounts under this Agreement must be made to a bank account outside the Republic of Austria. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees to designate and maintain one or more accounts at one or more lending offices located outside the Republic of Austria to which all amounts payable to such party under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made.

SECTION 9.21. German thin capitalisation certificates.

(a) For the purposes of providing evidence to the German tax authorities in relation to the absence of any back-to-back financing in connection with a Loan, the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders and on the basis of information provided by the Lenders agrees to provide each German Borrower with a letter of confirmation (a “Certificate”) substantially in the form of Exhibit I (Form of Tax Certificate) for fiscal years of the German Borrower to which sec. 8a Corporate Income Tax Act in the version of art. 3 of the act dated 22 December 2003 (BGBl. I 2003, 2840) applied.

(b) A Certificate shall be provided to each German Borrower as soon as reasonably practical after the first Borrowing date. Thereafter and until full repayment of the Loans, a German Borrower shall request a new Certificate to be issued to that German Borrower whenever the details provided under paragraph (c) below change.

(c) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders to provide a Certificate, each Borrower shall, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent and in any event within ten (10) days of such request, deliver to the Administrative Agent the details necessary to provide the Certificates, including a draft of the Certificate including its annexes (if any).

(d) When providing the information under paragraph (c) above, each Borrower confirms that, to its best knowledge and after due enquiry, it is not aware of any circumstances as a result of which the Certificate to be given in relation to that information is not correct.

(e) (i) Each Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders gives the Certificate according to paragraph (a) above exclusively at the request of the respective German Borrower and solely for providing proof to the German tax authorities of the absence of any back-to-back-financing with respect to this Agreement.

149

(ii) No Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent or Arranger is responsible for the Borrowers’ tax position or for achieving any certain tax treatment of the Borrowers.

(iii) Each Borrower confirms that a Certificate is not given for any German Borrower or any of its Affiliates to rely on, but only for delivery to the competent tax authorities and that, therefore, no Borrower nor any of its Affiliates will raise any claims against any Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent or Arranger based on, or in connection with, a Certificate.

(iv) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold each Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent and/or Arranger harmless from any reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) resulting from or incurred in connection with the issuance of any Certificate and from potential or actual claims that might be made against such Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent and/or Arranger with respect to a Certificate.

(f) No Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent or Arranger is providing any legal and/or tax advice to any other Party with respect to this Agreement. It is the responsibility of each Borrower to consult its own legal and tax advisers.

(g) Each Borrower, also in its role as provider of further security, releases each Lender, Issuing Bank, Agent and Arranger from its duty of confidentiality and/or obligation of bank secrecy (Bankgeheimnis) with regard to the issuance of the Certificates to a German Borrower and their submission to the German tax authorities.

SECTION 9.22. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Goodyear and the Borrowers, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Goodyear, the Borrowers, the other Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 9.23. Non-Public Information. Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Goodyear, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to Goodyear, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including, to the extent such laws are applicable, Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including, to the extent such laws are applicable, Federal, state and foreign securities laws. “MNPI” means material information concerning Goodyear, the Borrowers and the other Subsidiaries and their securities that has not been

150

disseminated in a manner making it available to investors generally, within the meaning of Regulation FD under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to the extent applicable.

151

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

referred to below

J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as
Administrative Agent

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Collateral Agent and Issuing Bank

BNP Paribas,
as Issuing Bank

Goodyear European Credit Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands (the “European J.V.”), Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (“GDTG”), Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“Lux Tires” and together with GDTG and the European J.V., the “Borrowers”) and each of the entities listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) in connection with the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, certain lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.

We have reviewed (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Master Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of March 31, 2003, as amended and restated as of February 20, 2004, as further amended and restated as of April 8, 2005, as further amended as of April 20, 2007 and as further amended as of April 20, 2011 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the grantors party thereto,

certain other Subsidiaries and the Collateral Agent, (iii) the Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of April 20, 2011 (the “Amendment Agreement”), in respect of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, among the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the grantors party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and certain other Subsidiaries, (iv) the Master Assignment and Acceptance, dated as of April 20, 2011 (the “Master Assignment”), among the parties identified as assignors therein (the “Assignors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as assignee (the “Assignee”), the Company and the Borrowers, (v) the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement thereof contemplated by the Amendment Agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”), and (vi) such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. The agreements referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are referred to in this opinion each as a “Document” and collectively as the “Documents.”

We have assumed that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (each a “Credit Party” and collectively, the “Credit Parties”) are each duly organized under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, that the Credit Parties, other than the entities listed on Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Covered Company” and collectively, the “Covered Companies”), are each validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and that each Credit Party, other than the Covered Companies, has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations under such Documents. We have assumed further that each of the Credit Parties, other than the Covered Companies, has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents to which it is a party. We have assumed further that the execution and delivery by each Credit Party, other than the Covered Companies, of each Document to which such Credit Party is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not breach or conflict with the provisions of such Credit Party’s certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents, as applicable. We have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and other sources that we believe to be responsible.

We have assumed that the execution and delivery of the Documents by the Credit Parties and the performance by the Credit Parties of their obligations thereunder do not and will not (x) violate or contravene any judgment, order, decree or permit issued by any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, (y) conflict with or result in the breach of, constitute a default under, or cause or permit any termination or any mandatory prepayment or acceleration under, any contract or other instrument binding on or affecting the Company or any subsidiary thereof or any of their respective properties or assets other than the agreements listed on Exhibit C hereto (such agreements listed on Exhibit C, the “Scheduled Agreements”), or (z) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than those created or imposed under the Documents) upon or with respect to any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, except under any Scheduled Agreement.

We have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to

us as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents submitted to us conform to the originals. We have assumed further that each of the Secured Parties, the Assignors and the Assignee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents to which it is a party and that each such Document is the valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each Covered Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party, to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby and to perform its respective obligations thereunder. Each Covered Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents to which it is a party.

2. Each Document constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Credit Parties party thereto, enforceable against each such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

3. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by or filing with any governmental agency or instrumentality of the State of New York or the United States of America or under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) is required on the part of any Credit Party for the execution and delivery of any Document to which such Credit Party is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except (i) those already obtained or made and (ii) such filings and other actions as are required to perfect the security interests and liens granted under the Documents and the other Credit Documents (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

4. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of each Document to which such Credit Party is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not (i) violate the DGCL or any New York State or Federal statute, law, rule or regulation to which such Credit Party is subject, (ii) breach the provisions of, or cause a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon or with respect to any property or assets of any Credit Party under, any Scheduled Agreement or (iii) in the case of each Delaware Company, breach the provisions of such Delaware Company’s certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents, as applicable.

5. The Company is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

6. As a result of the transactions occurring on the Effective Date pursuant to the Master Assignment, the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) of the Assignors under the Original Credit Agreement will have been transferred to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Assignee, in accordance with Section 9.04 of the Original

Credit Agreement, and not terminated.

7. After the repayment in full of the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement as provided in the Amendment Agreement will require the consent of the Company, the Borrowers, the Agents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Assignee under the Master Assignment of the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) of the Revolving Lenders (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), and will not, under the terms of the Original Credit Agreement, require the consent of any other Person.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) The enforceability of certain rights and remedies purported to be granted to the Secured Parties under the Documents may be limited by applicable law, but those limitations (exclusive of the matters referred to in the other qualifications set forth herein) do not make the rights and remedies afforded under the Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Documents.

(b) We express no opinion as to (i) the ownership of or title to any property, or as to the adequacy of any description of any property, (ii) zoning, subdivision or other matters affecting the use, occupancy or operation of the Collateral or (iii) any security interest or lien.

(c) We express no opinion as to the existence or adequacy of consideration received by any Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such parties’ obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Amendment Agreement.

(d) We express no opinion as to:

(i) waivers of defenses, subrogation and related rights, rights to trial by jury, rights to object to venue, or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law;

(ii) releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights;

(iii) indemnification, contribution, exculpation or provisions for the non-survival of representations, to the extent they purport to indemnify any party against, or release or limit any party’s liability for, its own breach or failure to comply with statutory obligations, or to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy;

(iv) grants of powers of attorney or proxies;

(v) provisions purporting to require a prevailing party in a dispute to pay attorneys’ fees and expenses, or other costs, to a

non-prevailing party;

(vi) provisions for liquidated damages and penalties, penalty interest and interest on interest;

(vii) provisions purporting to make a party’s determination conclusive or permitting a party to act in its sole or absolute discretion;

(viii) exclusive jurisdiction or venue provisions; and

(ix) provisions purporting to supersede equitable principles, including, without limitation, provisions requiring amendments and waivers to be in writing and provisions making notices effective even if not actually received.

(e) We express no opinion as to any right of setoff, netting, bankers lien or counterclaim or right to the application of property in the possession or control of any Secured Party.

(f) Except as set forth in paragraph 5, we express no opinion as to any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or as to any anti-fraud laws.

(g) We express no opinion as to any tax laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or any rules or regulations thereunder.

(h) We express no opinion as to any legal requirements applicable to any Secured Party.

(i) Our opinions in paragraphs 3 and 4(i) above are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents and do not extend to laws or regulations relating to, or to licenses, permits, approvals and filings necessary for, the conduct of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to any environmental laws or regulations.

(j) For purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 6 and 7, we have assumed that (i) the provisions of Section 9.04 of the Original Credit Agreement have been complied with or validly waived and (ii) the assignment of the outstanding Revolving Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) are enforceable under any applicable laws (other than the law of the State of New York).

We are members of the bar of the State of New York and the State of California. We do not express any opinion herein on any laws other than the law of the State of New York, the California Corporation Code, the DGCL and the Federal law of the United States of America.

This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of each Person who becomes a Lender before May 11, 2011, as the result of an assignment by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or BNP Paribas SA pursuant to the Credit Agreement of any of their respective Loans or Commitments, who may rely upon this opinion as of the date hereof, and may not be relied upon by any other Person without our written consent.

MANDATORY COSTS RATE

1.		The Mandatory Costs Rate is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.		On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Costs Rate will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Borrowing) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3.		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office of such Lender in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.

4.		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Loan denominated in Pounds Sterling:


		AB +C(B – D) + E x 0.01 100 – (A +C)		per cent. per annum

(b)

in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Pounds Sterling:


		E x 0.01 300		per cent. per annum.

Where:

	A		is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

	B		is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the applicable interest rate margin under Section 2.13(a) and the Mandatory Costs Rate and, if the

Loan is due and unpaid, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 2.13(b)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

	C		is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

	D		is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

	E		is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is the most recent rate of charge payable by the Administrative Agent to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fee Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

	(a)		“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

	(b)		“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

	(c)		“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

	(d)		“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union.

	(e)		“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6.		In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7.		Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without

limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(a)		the jurisdiction of its lending office; and

	(b)		any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

		Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8.		The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraph 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.

9.		The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10.		The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Costs Rate to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 7 above.

11.		Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Exhibit in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Costs Rate, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

12.		The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with Goodyear (or the European J.V.) and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are required to be made to this Exhibit in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

acting as agent for the Banks

Explanations:

¹ The declaration should only be issued at the request of the Borrower on the occasion of one of the legal transactions mentioned (loan etc.) by the Bank/Savings Bank; furthermore, it must be issued spontaneously by the issuer of the original Certification whenever any change is made in the contract or in the securities which have been provided.

² The list of securities granted by third parties must be supplied and the grantors of the securities must be named regardless of whether not merely short-term deposits or not merely short-term other capital claims within the meaning of marginal note 20 of the FMOF letter of 15 July 2004 on Section 8a Corporation Tax Law (Federal Tax Gazette I 2004 p. 593) are involved. Furthermore, this information must be provided regardless of whether the security depends on the fulfilment of a condition (e.g. security is provided or the debt secured falls due) or on the expiration of a period.

³ All the securities and trust relationships granted for the loan must also be included (e.g. encumbrance of real property, mortgage, letter of responsibility, assignment as security).

⁴ Enter here if (other) persons who are not borrowers have granted security, but have not released the bank from existing bank secrecy as regards this Certification.
