(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.

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).

(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling as of the date of the issuance thereof and as of each subsequent date on which such Letter of Credit shall be renewed or extended or the stated amount of such Letter of Credit shall be increased, in each case using the Exchange Rate for the applicable currency in relation to Euros in effect on the date of determination, and each such amount shall be the Euro Equivalent of such Letter of Credit until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.05(a). The Administrative Agent shall in addition determine the Euro Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling as of the CAM Exchange Date as set forth in Section 7.03.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro Equivalent of any Borrowing (i) denominated in U.S. Dollars as of the date of the commencement of the initial Interest Period therefor and as of the date of the commencement of each subsequent Interest Period therefor, in each case using the Exchange Rate for U.S. Dollars in relation to Euros in effect on the date that is three Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Interest Period shall commence and (ii) denominated in Pounds Sterling as of the date on which such Borrowing is made and as of each date that shall occur at intervals of one month’s duration after the date on which such Borrowing is made, in each case using the Exchange Rate for Pounds Sterling in relation to Euros in effect on the date that is three Business Days prior to the date on which such Borrowing is made or that is three Business Days prior to the date that shall occur at intervals of one month’s duration after the date on which such Borrowing is made, as the case may be. Each such amount shall be the Euro Equivalent of such Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.05(b). The Administrative Agent shall in addition determine the Euro Equivalent of any Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling as of the CAM Exchange Date as set forth in Section 7.02.

(c) The Euro Equivalent of any LC Disbursement made by any Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower shall be determined as set forth in paragraph (l) of Section 2.04. In addition, the Euro Equivalent of the LC Exposures shall be determined as set forth in paragraph (j) of Section 2.04, at the time and in the circumstances specified therein.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the applicable Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank of each calculation of the Euro Equivalent of each Letter of Credit, Borrowing and LC Disbursement.

SECTION 1.06. Excluded Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of each Borrower under the Credit Documents insofar as such Borrower is jointly liable for obligations incurred by any other Borrower) by any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall include a Guarantee of any Obligation that, as to such Credit Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation and no Collateral provided by any Credit Party shall secure any Obligation that, as to such Credit Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made by, or any collection is realized from, any Credit Party as to which any Obligations are Excluded Swap Obligations, or from any Collateral provided by such Credit Party, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Credit Party as otherwise provided herein without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations and each reference in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide.

SECTION 1.07. Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.13(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify GEBV, pursuant to Section 2.13(d), of any change to any reference rate upon which the interest rate on any Loan is based. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each ABT Lender agrees to make ABT Loans to any Borrower from time to time during the ABT Availability Period in Euros, U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s ABT Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s ABT Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments, and (b) each German Lender agrees to make German Loans to the German Borrower from time to time during the German Availability Period in Euros or U.S. Dollars in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s German Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s German Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate German Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the German Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

[[5882185]]

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Revolving Borrowing denominated (i) in U.S. Dollars shall be comprised entirely of Term Benchmark Loans or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.13, RFR Loans that bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, (ii) in Euros shall be comprised entirely of Term Benchmark Loans, and (iii) in Pounds Sterling shall be comprised entirely of RFR Loans that bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Daily Simple SONIA. Each Lender at its option may make any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such 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 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, and at the time each RFR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an RFR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total ABT Commitments, the entire unused balance of the total German Commitments or the entire unused balance of the total Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 20 Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to continue, any Term Benchmark Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the applicable Borrower, or GEBV on behalf of such Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format of a Borrowing Request (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (iv) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars (if applicable pursuant to Section 2.13), not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing (or on whose behalf GEBV is requesting such Borrowing);

(ii) whether the requested Borrowing is to be an ABT Borrowing or a German Borrowing;

(iii) the aggregate amount and currency of the requested Borrowing;

61

[[5882185]]

(iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(v) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing or (if applicable pursuant to Section 2.13) an RFR Borrowing;

(vi) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vii) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the requested Borrower shall be deemed to have selected Euros. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, for as long as GYG has not obtained the approval of its supervisory board pursuant to paragraph VII (6) of the supervisory board’s by-laws (Geschäftsordnung des Aufsichtsrats der GYG) to incur any Indebtedness under this Agreement in excess of €650,000,000, GYG shall not be entitled to request a Borrowing if as a result of that requested Borrowing, the aggregate outstanding amount of Loans made to GYG would exceed €650,000,000.

SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each of the Borrowers may request the issuance (or the amendment, renewal or extension) of Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the ABT Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Issuing Bank that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted in accordance with paragraph (d) below to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Banks and Lenders that are also party to the Existing Credit Agreement agree that, concurrently with such grant, the participations in the Existing Letters of Credit granted to the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be automatically canceled without further action by any of the parties thereto. On and after the Restatement Effective Date each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof. Any Lender that issued an Existing Letter of Credit but shall not have entered into an Issuing Bank Agreement shall have the rights of an Issuing Bank as to such Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section 2.04.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower, or GEBV on behalf of such Borrower, shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall

62

[[5882185]]

comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by any Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower, or GEBV on behalf of such Borrower, also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that any provisions in any such letter of credit application that create Liens securing the obligations of such Borrower thereunder or that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower and GEBV shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments, (ii) the ABT Credit Exposure of any ABT Lender shall not exceed such ABT Lender’s ABT Commitment, (iii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed €75,000,000 and (iv) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank; provided, however, that without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the applicable Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank in effect at the time of such request; provided further that, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue such Letters of Credit in excess of the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Bank in excess of the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall not affect the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank or any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate LC Exposure set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 2.04(b). The Administrative Agent agrees, at the request of any Issuing Bank, to provide information to such Issuing Bank as to the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure, the LC Exposures and the ABT Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Any Letter of Credit may provide by its terms that it may be extended for additional successive one-year periods on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank (but subject to the proviso in the next sentence). Any Letter of Credit providing for automatic extension shall be extended upon the then-current expiration date without any further action by any Person unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall have given notice to the applicable beneficiary (with a copy to the applicable Borrower) of the election by such Issuing Bank not to extend such Letter of Credit, such notice to be given not fewer than 60 days prior to the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided that no Letter of Credit may be extended automatically or otherwise beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. Effective with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date, and effective with respect to each other Letter of Credit (and each amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) upon the issuance (or increase) thereof, and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each ABT Lender, and each ABT Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s ABT Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each ABT Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s ABT Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or such Lender’s ABT Percentage of any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Disbursement required to be

63

[[5882185]]

refunded to any Borrower for any reason, each such payment to be made in the currency of such LC Disbursement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction of its ABT Commitment or the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under any Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the ABT Commitments.

(e) Reimbursement. 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 GEBV shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if the amount of such LC Disbursement is at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum in the applicable currency but not greater than the amount then available to be borrowed as a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing for the purposes of this Section 2.04(e), the applicable Borrower may, subject to the condition precedent to such Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02(b), request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due and such Borrower does not make a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing in the amount of such payment, in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each ABT Lender of such LC Disbursement, the amount 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 Revolving Loans or 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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

64

[[5882185]]

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 GEBV Subsidiary and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit), (v) the occurrence of any Default, (vi) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the ABT Commitments or (vii) 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 as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling pursuant to paragraph (l) of this Section, at the Swingline Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Swingline Loans, (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in U.S. Dollars, at all times prior to its conversion to Euros pursuant to paragraph (l) of this Section, at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the First Lien Agreement) plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans, and (iii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in Pounds Sterling, at all times

65

[[5882185]]

prior to its conversion to Euros pursuant to paragraph (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 the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(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 by any ABT Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the accounts of such ABT Lenders to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Banks. Each Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among GEBV, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and a 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 2.11(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 GEBV 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. 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 Section 7.01. 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 (or, at any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be made at the direction of GEBV) 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

66

[[5882185]]

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 U.S. 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 U.S. Dollars or Pounds Sterling and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. 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, each 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 €175,000,000, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender exceeding its Swingline Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments or (iv) the ABT Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding its ABT Commitment; provided that no Swingline Lender shall 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) (i) To request a Swingline Loan directly from one or more Swingline Lenders, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each applicable Swingline Lender of such request by delivering a Borrowing Request not later than 12:00 noon (or such later time as the applicable Swingline Lender may agree,

67

[[5882185]]

but in any case no later than 1:00 p.m.), London time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (other than as provided in Section 2.13) and shall be effected by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format of a written Borrowing Request signed by the applicable Borrower or by GEBV on behalf of such Borrower (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) to the Administrative Agent. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (other than as provided in Section 2.13) and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), 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, and the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Swingline Loan requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise each applicable Swingline Lender of any such Borrowing Request received from a Borrower. Each applicable Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it available to the applicable Borrower by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in such Borrowing Request (which account, in the case of GYO, shall be an account held by GYO outside of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg) or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 3:00 p.m., London time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(ii) To request that the Swingline Lenders provide Swingline Loans on a ratable basis in accordance with the amounts of their respective Swingline Commitments (“Ratable Swingline Loans”), a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivering a Borrowing Request not later than 11:00 a.m. (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree, but in any case no later than 12:00 noon), London time, on the day of such proposed Ratable Swingline Loans. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (other than as provided in Section 2.13) and shall be effected by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format of a written Borrowing Request signed by the applicable Borrower or by GEBV on behalf of such Borrower (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) to the Administrative Agent. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (other than as provided in Section 2.13) and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of the requested Ratable Swingline Loans, the aggregate amount of the requested Ratable Swingline Loans, which shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum, and the location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Ratable Swingline Loans requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise each Swingline Lender of any such Borrowing Request received from a Borrower and of the amount of the Swingline Loan required to be made by such Swingline Lender as part of such Ratable Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Lender shall make each such Swingline Loan to be made by it available on the requested date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., London time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Promptly after its receipt of all such wire transfers from the Swingline Lenders, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loans available to the relevant Borrower by crediting the amounts received, in like funds, to an account designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (which account, in the case of GYO, shall be an account held by GYO outside of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

(iii) Each Swingline Lender at its option may make any Swingline Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such 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) Each 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”)

68

[[5882185]]

require the ABT Lenders to acquire participations on the second Business Day after the Notice Date in all or a portion of such Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans, and such Swingline Loans shall be continued on the second Business Day after the Notice Date as a Term Benchmark Borrowing having an Interest Period of one week’s duration; provided that a 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 such 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 from a Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent 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 applicable 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 ABT 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 applicable 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 applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such 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 such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such 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 GYO, shall be an account held by GYO outside of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg). 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

69

[[5882185]]

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 2.15.

SECTION 2.07. Continuation of Borrowings. (a) Each Term Benchmark 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, GEBV on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such continuation by delivering a Continuation Request by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03. Each such Continuation Request shall be irrevocable (other than as provided in Section 2.13) and shall be effected by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format of a written Continuation Request signed by GEBV on behalf of the applicable Borrower (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) to the Administrative Agent.

(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 Term Benchmark Borrowing on or prior to the third Business Day preceding the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then such Borrowing shall at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing for an additional Interest Period of one week. Notwithstanding any contrary

70

[[5882185]]

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 GEBV, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be continued at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a Term Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(b) GEBV may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the 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) GEBV shall not terminate or reduce the ABT Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the ABT Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments or (B) the ABT Credit Exposure of any ABT Lender would exceed such ABT Lender’s ABT Commitment and (iii) GEBV shall not terminate or reduce the German Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the German Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate German Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the German Commitments.

(c) GEBV 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 GEBV pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of all the Commitments under any Tranche delivered by GEBV 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 GEBV (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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 2.08 shall not apply to a termination of Commitments under Section 2.18.

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 Revolving Borrowing of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender 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, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the Interest

71

[[5882185]]

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 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 payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. 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 (i) sum of the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure and Aggregate German Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, (ii) the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments or (iii) the Aggregate German Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the German Commitments, GEBV 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, GEBV 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 GEBV) 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 GEBV at any time if and to the extent that, after giving effect to such release, the Aggregate ABT Credit Exposure would not exceed the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitments.

72

[[5882185]]

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, GEBV 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) GEBV shall notify the Administrative Agent by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iv) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (v) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, London time, on the date of prepayment; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to make any prepayment hereunder by reason of Section 2.10(b), such notice shall be delivered not later than the time at which such prepayment is made. 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 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 2.10(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 2.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 2.10 shall not apply to a prepayment of Loans under Section 2.18.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) GEBV agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of each Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Commitment 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 date and on the date on which the Commitments are terminated, 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 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 except to the extent such Lender shall have acquired a participation therein pursuant to Section 2.05(c)).

(b) GEBV 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 Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans 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 Restatement 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

73

[[5882185]]

from and including the Restatement 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 Restatement 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 GEBV 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 2.12. Interest. (a) The Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. The Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The RFR Loans comprising each RFR Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SONIA plus the Applicable Rate. The RFR Loans comprising each RFR Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars (if applicable pursuant to Section 2.13) shall bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Swingline Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(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 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 RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), 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 Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple

74

[[5882185]]

RFR and Swingline Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.13, if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing (or, in the case of any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars with an Interest Period of one week’s duration, at any time during such Interest Period), that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period (including (I) in the case of any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars with an Interest Period of one week’s duration, because adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily Simple SOFR or (II) because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period) (provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time), (B) at any time for an RFR Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency (provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time), or (C) at any time for a Swingline Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Swingline Rate; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing (or, in the case of any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars with an Interest Period of one week’s duration, at any time during such Interest Period), that the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or any Lender) of making or maintaining their Term Benchmark Loans (or its Term Benchmark Loan) included in such Term Benchmark Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period, (B) at any time for an RFR Borrowing, that the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or any Lender) of making or maintaining their RFR Loans (or its RFR Loan) included in such RFR Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency, or (C) at any time for a Swingline Borrowing, that the Swingline Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or any Lender) of making or maintaining their Swingline Loans (or its Swingline Loan) included in such Swingline Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (an “Unavailability Notice”) to GEBV and the Lenders by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email of scanned electronic format), telecopy or email as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies GEBV and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such Unavailability Notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Continuation Request in accordance with Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03, the rate of interest that shall apply to such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period shall be (A) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars and for any Interest Period, (I) if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii), then the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (it being understood that, in these circumstances, a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars with an

75

[[5882185]]

Interest Period of one-week’s duration shall remain unaffected) or (II) if the Adjusted Term SOFR and the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR are each the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii), then such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loans (or such Term Benchmark Loan) denominated in U.S. Dollars for such Interest Period included in such Term Benchmark Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans, (B) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros and for any Interest Period, such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loans (or such Term Benchmark Loan) denominated in Euros for such Interest Period included in such Term Benchmark Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans, (C) in the case of an RFR Borrowing in the applicable Agreed Currency, such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such RFR Loans (or such RFR Loan) in the applicable Agreed Currency included in such RFR Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans or (D) in the case of a Swingline Borrowing, such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such Swingline Loans (or such Swingline Loan) included in such Swingline Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for Swingline Loans. If an Unavailability Notice is delivered in respect of any Borrowing, the applicable Borrower (or GEBV on its behalf) may elect by notice to the Administrative Agent to revoke its request that such Borrowing be made or continued, in which event Section 2.15 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).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to U.S. Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders of each Class.

(c) The Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with GEBV, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify GEBV and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below of this Section 2.13 and (v)

76

[[5882185]]

the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the EURIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (e)(i) of this Section 2.13 either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon GEBV’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) to the extent such Benchmark Unavailability Period is with respect to any Benchmark applicable to any Term Benchmark Loan, the rate of interest that shall apply to such Term Benchmark Loans shall be (A) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars and for any Interest Period, (I) if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii), then the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (it being understood that, in these circumstances, a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars with an Interest Period of one-week’s duration shall remain unaffected) or (II) if the Adjusted Term SOFR and the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR are each the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or 2.13(a)(ii), then such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loans (or such Term Benchmark Loan) denominated in U.S. Dollars for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans or (B) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros and for any Interest Period, such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loans (or such Term Benchmark Loan) denominated in Euros for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans and (ii) to the extent such Benchmark Unavailability Period is with respect to any Benchmark applicable to any RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency, the rate of interest that shall apply to such RFR Loans in the applicable Agreed Currency shall be such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in consultation with GEBV) adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining such RFR Loans (or such RFR Loan) in the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans. Upon GEBV’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark applicable to any Loan, the applicable Borrower (or GEBV on its behalf) may elect by notice to the Administrative Agent to revoke any request for a Borrowing of or continuation of any such Loan to be made or continued during such Benchmark Unavailability Period, in which event Section 2.15 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 Loan not being made or continued).

[[5882185]]

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, or on the applicable interbank market, any other condition (including Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto other than (A) Taxes on or with respect to any payment hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 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 or Borrowers (being the Borrower or Borrowers 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 in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity 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 and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower or Borrowers (being the Borrower or Borrowers 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 GEBV. The applicable Borrower or Borrowers 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 GEBV 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 GEBV 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

78

[[5882185]]

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 2.15. Break Funding Payments. Except with respect to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars with a one week Interest Period, in the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark 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 Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (unless such notice may be revoked or is deemed a request for a different Type of Borrowing under Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(f), but regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (c) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by GEBV pursuant to Section 2.18 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 (excluding any loss of margin or anticipated profit). 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 GEBV. 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 GEBV in good faith.

SECTION 2.16. 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) The relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each 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, such 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 GEBV by a Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes described in Section 2.16(a) (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) attributable to such Lender, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply

79

[[5882185]]

with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, 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 2.16(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. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(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 Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to GEBV 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 reasonably requested by GEBV or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by GEBV or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Lender has received written notice from GEBV 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 (as described in Section 2.16(g)) 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 reasonably requested by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(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.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered in accordance with this Section 2.16(f) or Section 2.16(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Goodyear and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to GEBV for the account of the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by GEBV or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by GEBV for the account of the relevant

80

[[5882185]]

Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except as required or permitted under Section 2.06, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 2.21 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 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 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 GEBV, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 2.21 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

81

[[5882185]]

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 or Swingline Loans 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 GEBV 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 GEBV 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), 2.17(e), 9.03(c) or any other provision requiring payment by such Lender for the account of the Administrative Agent, any 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, such 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 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or Section 2.19 or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to

82

[[5882185]]

any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, 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 2.14, 2.16 or 2.19, 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. GEBV hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or Section 2.19, (ii) 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 2.16, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders (or a majority in interest of all the affected Lenders or a majority in interest of all the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent or (v) in connection with any Refinancing of the Commitments of any Class (and the Loans in respect thereof) in full, any Lender will (for any reason or no reason) not continue as a Lender following the consummation of such Refinancing, then GEBV 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 (chosen by GEBV) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) GEBV shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) 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, (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment or waiver can be effected. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by GEBV, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then GEBV, if requested to do so by any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, 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 2.19. 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 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 2.14) on such Lender by any Governmental

83

[[5882185]]

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 addressed by Section 2.19(a)) 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 2.14) 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 2.20. 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 2.20, 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 2.11(a);

(b) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document (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 all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion of such Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans made or Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender in its capacity as a Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective ABT Percentages but only to the extent that (A) no Event of Default exists of which the Administrative Agent has received notice and (B) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ ABT Credit Exposures plus the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure so reallocated does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ ABT Commitments;

84

[[5882185]]

(ii) if the reallocation provided for in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (the amount that cannot be so reallocated being called the “Excess Amount”), the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to Swingline Loans made by such Defaulting Lender) that has not been reallocated as set forth in clause (i) above and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only, the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate the Excess Amount 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 2.11(b) with respect to such portion during the period such portion 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 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(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 (other than any portion thereof attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender) is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such LC Exposure or portion thereof shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure or portion thereof is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall 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 (other than any portion thereof attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender) 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 2.20(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 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or the Lender controlled by such Lender Parent, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. If a Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank shall have 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, such Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

85

[[5882185]]

In the event that the Administrative Agent, GEBV, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposures and LC Exposures 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.

Subject to Section 9.27, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

SECTION 2.21. Extension Requests. (a) GEBV may, on not more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement, request extensions of the Commitments and Loans of all the Lenders (or, if the Commitments or Loans of any Lenders shall theretofore have been extended pursuant to this Section 2.21, of all the Lenders whose Commitments or Loans terminate on a particular date) by written notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that such Lenders enter into an Extension Permitted Amendment (each such request being called an “Extension Request”), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly communicate such request to the applicable Lenders. Each Extension Request shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment (which shall be the same for all Lenders receiving the applicable Extension Request) and (ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Extension Request (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. Each Lender may in its sole discretion accept or reject any Extension Request.

(b) An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by Goodyear, each Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Credit Documents 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, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such earlier date, (iii) each Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith and (iv) all actions necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, desirable to preserve and continue the effectiveness, perfection and priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents shall have been taken or arrangements therefor satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall have been made. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending Lenders as a new Class or Classes of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided that, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or

86

[[5882185]]

subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan as between the commitments of such new Class or Classes and the Commitments that were the subject of the applicable Extension Request but were not extended shall be made on a ratable basis and (ii) the ABT Availability Period and the Maturity Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable.

SECTION 2.22. Incremental Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, commencing on the Restatement Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GEBV may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to:

(i) add one or more tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”);

(ii) solely during the ABT Availability Period, on one or more occasions, increase the aggregate amount of the ABT Commitment (each such increase, an “ABT Commitment Increase”); and/or

(iii) solely during the German Availability Period, on one more occasions, increase the aggregate amount of the German Commitment (each such increase, a “German Commitment Increase” and, together with each ABT Commitment Increase, a “Commitment Increase” and the Commitment Increases, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Extensions of Credit”),

in an aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Extensions of Credit of up to €200,000,000. Each Incremental Term Loan and each Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that such amount may be less than the Borrowing Minimum if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Extensions of Credit set forth above.

(b) The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment and the occurrence of any credit event (including the making (but not the conversion or continuation) of a Loan and the issuance, increase in the amount, or extension of a Letter of Credit thereunder) pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to delivery of a Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03 and the satisfaction of the following conditions and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each of Goodyear and GEBV to that effect;

(ii) the representations and warranties of Goodyear, GEBV and each other Borrower set forth in this Agreement and of each GEBV Loan Party in the other Credit Documents (insofar as the representations and warranties in such other Credit Documents relate to the transactions provided for therein 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 Incremental Facility Amendment, 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, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each of Goodyear and GEBV to that effect;

(iii) the financial covenant contained in Section 6.09 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis on and as of the date of, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Extension of Credit and the application of the proceeds therefrom (and assuming, for the purposes of

87

[[5882185]]

this Section only, that the full amount of Commitments under such Incremental Extension of Credit shall have been funded as Loans as of such date) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each of Goodyear and GEBV, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with this clause (iii), to that effect;

(iv) 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, if applicable, good standing of each Credit Party, the authorization by the Credit Parties of the Incremental Extension of Credit and any other legal matters (including favorable written opinions) relating to Goodyear, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Credit Documents or the Incremental Extension of Credit, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel (including any new, additional, supplemental or amended Security Agreement);

(v) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Extension of Credit to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been paid; and

(vi) Goodyear and each of the Borrowers shall have (A) entered into any documents and taken any actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (taking into account, inter alia, the value of Collateral granted as security under the relevant Security Documents and the total costs (including taxes and related legal costs and expenses) of any such action) and as may be required under applicable law in order to ensure that the Security Documents to which each of them is a party will continue to validly secure the Applicable Secured Obligations including, as the case may be, any Incremental Extension of Credit following any Incremental Facility Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.22, and (B) paid any applicable registration fees, costs and taxes and filed any applicable registrations in connection with the relevant ratification and increase.

(c) The parties intend that (i) each Incremental Extension of Credit (including any related Obligations) qualifying as an ABT Loan shall be secured by the applicable Collateral on a pari passu basis with the other ABT Obligations to the extent practicable under the applicable law, (ii) each Incremental Extension of Credit (including any related Obligations) qualifying as a German Loan shall be secured by the applicable Collateral on a pari passu basis with the other German Obligations to the extent practicable under the applicable law, and (iii) no Incremental Extension of Credit shall be guaranteed by any Person other than the Credit Parties or be secured by any assets other than the Collateral.

(d) Each notice from any Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Extension of Credit. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend commitments in respect of any Incremental Extension of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Commitment Increase, each applicable Issuing Bank) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrowers, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Extension of Credit unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Extension of Credit shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment) under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.

(e) On the date of effectiveness of any Commitment Increase, (i) each Additional Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase (each, a “Commitment Increase Lender”) that shall have had

88

[[5882185]]

a Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Commitment Increase Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase), multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) exceeds (B) (1) such Commitment Increase Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase), multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Class or Classes outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”), (ii) each Commitment Increase Lender that did not have a Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase shall pay to Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to (1) such Commitment Increase Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase), multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iii) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase), multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, exceeds (B) (1) such Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase), multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and the aggregate principal amount of the new Borrowings of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in any Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”), (iv) each Lender shall hold its ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable, of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase) and (v) such Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings. The Borrower shall compensate the Lenders holding Existing Revolving Borrowings pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 as if such Existing Revolving Borrowings were repaid in full on such date if the date of the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (in the case of Existing Revolving Borrowings that are Term Benchmark Borrowings (other than Term Benchmark Borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars with a one week Interest Period)). Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Commitment Increase Lender, and each such Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case held by each Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Lender’s ABT Percentage or German Percentage, as applicable. Each Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation as are applicable to the Commitments of the applicable Class or Classes.

(f) An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, (i) effect such amendments to this Agreement or to any other Credit Document (or permit the entry into of any other document to effect such amendments to a Credit Document or to effect the provisions of this Section) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section, including, to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of Section 9.02(b), and (ii) provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit pursuant to any Commitment Increase established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Commitments (except for the overall size of such subfacilities,

89

[[5882185]]

the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrowers, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment); provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to act as “issuing bank” under any such Incremental Facility Amendment without its written consent.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section shall supersede any conflicting provisions in Section 2.17 or Section 9.02.

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.

The Administrative Agent shall notify GEBV and the Lenders of the Restatement 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 October 12, 2022 (and, in the event such conditions are not so satisfied or waived, the Commitments shall terminate at such time).

(a) The obligation of each Lender to make a Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing (other than a conversion or continuation of an outstanding Borrowing and other than a Borrowing to reimburse an LC Disbursement made pursuant to Section 2.04(e)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) The representations and warranties of Goodyear, GEBV and each other Borrower set forth in this Agreement and of each GEBV 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.

95

[[5882185]]

(ii) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, 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.

(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, GEBV and each other Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of subsection (a) above or in subsection (b) above, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary will be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (a) if either (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

99

[[5882185]]

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) GEBV and the Administrative Agent separately agree that the costs of such Subsidiary taking any such action would be disproportionate to the corresponding benefits for the Lenders.

(b) In the event that any Grantor shall at any time directly own any Capital Stock of any GEBV Subsidiary (in each case other than (i) Capital Stock in any Subsidiary with Total Assets not greater than $10,000,000 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 Goodyear Slovenija shall at any time be held by any Person other than Goodyear Slovenija, all the Capital Stock in such other Person shall be pledged under a Security Agreement.

(c) In the event that:

(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, GEBV 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, GEBV 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

100

[[5882185]]

(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 GEBV Subsidiaries for which such assets are not Applicable Assets with an aggregate book value greater than $30,000,000, GEBV 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 GEBV Subsidiary or GEBV Subsidiaries pursuant to one or more Security Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and each applicable GEBV Subsidiary to secure, in the case of each such asset, the Applicable Secured Obligations of the Grantor that transferred such asset to such GEBV Subsidiary;

provided that, in each case under this paragraph (c), 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 Grantor or GEBV Subsidiary, as the case may be, 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 the Federal Republic of Germany would prohibit any Grantor or GEBV Subsidiary, as the case may be, organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany from duly authorizing the creation or perfection of any such security interest, such Grantor or GEBV Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall not be required to create or perfect such security interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor or GEBV 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 Restatement 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 Grantor or GEBV Subsidiary will be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (c) if (i) in the case of a Grantor, it 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 property, plant and equipment 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 and such Grantor to secure the Applicable Secured Obligations of such Grantor.

(d) Goodyear, GEBV 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.

(3) Indebtedness (A) outstanding on the Restatement 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);

[[5882185]]

(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 €500,000,000, and (y) any Guarantee of Indebtedness (other than (p) any Guarantee of the Obligations or (q) any Guarantee of Indebtedness Incurred by GEBV or any of the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries by any GEBV Loan Party (other than any GEBV Loan Party organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany) or by any other Restricted GEBV Subsidiary that, if it Guarantees any Indebtedness of any GEBV 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 Restatement Effective Date by GEBV or any Restricted GEBV Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred in reliance on this clause (10) and shall not, taken together with the Indebtedness referred to in clause (x) (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 €500,000,000; and

(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 or the First Lien Agreement prior to or on the Restatement 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

104

[[5882185]]

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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if new GEBV Notes are issued for the purpose of refinancing or replacing existing GEBV Notes and a notice of redemption is given or expected to be given in respect of existing GEBV Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the existing GEBV Notes subject to such notice of redemption shall be disregarded in determining compliance with this Section 6.01 during the period commencing on the date of issuance of such new GEBV Notes and ending on the earlier of the 90th day thereafter and the date on which such existing GEBV Notes are redeemed.

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

105

[[5882185]]

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

(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);

(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, howeve r, 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);

(6) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the vesting or exercise of stock options, restricted stock or similar equity awards if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price of such stock options, restricted stock or similar equity awards and the withholding Tax related thereto; provided, however, that such Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 6.02(a)(3);

[[5882185]]

(4) GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries may make any prepayment, repayment or Purchase for value of Subordinated Obligations of GEBV 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) and (C) of the definition of Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Subordinated Obligations being prepaid, repaid or Purchased) or the Net Cash Proceeds of an equity contribution to GEBV; 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;

rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of Goodyear (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless such transaction is on terms:

(o) Liens to secure any Refinancing (or successive Refinancings) as a whole, or in part, of any Indebtedness secured by any Lien referred in the foregoing clauses (h), (i), (j) and (k); provided, however, that:

(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;

(p) Liens on accounts receivables and related assets of the type specified in the definition of “Qualified Receivables Transaction” not constituting Collateral under this Agreement Incurred in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;

(v) Liens on specific items of inventory or other goods and related documentation (and proceeds thereof) securing reimbursement obligations in respect of trade letters of credit issued to ensure payment of the purchase price for such items of inventory or other goods;

(w) Liens on assets not constituting Collateral under this Agreement which secure Indebtedness Incurred under Section 6.01(b)(11) or (13); provided that assets of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries shall only secure Indebtedness of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries and that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries secured by Liens Incurred in reliance on clause (n), on this clause (w) or on clause (y) shall not at any time exceed €135,000,000;

(y) other Liens on assets that do not constitute Collateral to secure Indebtedness as long as the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens Incurred pursuant to this clause (y) does not exceed 7.5% of Consolidated assets of Goodyear, as determined based on the consolidated balance sheet of Goodyear as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been filed with the SEC; provided that assets of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries shall only secure Indebtedness of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries and that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries secured by Liens Incurred in reliance on clause (n), on clause (w) or on this clause (y) shall not at any time exceed €135,000,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding whether this clause (y) would otherwise be available to secure Indebtedness, Liens securing Indebtedness originally secured pursuant to this clause (y) may secure Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness and such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been secured pursuant to this clause (y).

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).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no trade receivable of GEBV or any GEBV Subsidiary organized under the laws of Luxembourg shall be subject to any Lien securing Indebtedness other than in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such trade receivables may be subject to Liens securing Indebtedness other than Indebtedness under Qualified Receivables Transactions in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed €7,500,000.

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 Goodyear or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to:

(a) Incur Indebtedness with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 6.01;

117

[[5882185]]

(b) create a Lien on such property securing such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.06(x) or, to the extent the assets subject to such Sale/Leaseback do not constitute Collateral under this Agreement, create a Lien on such property pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06;

(c) the gross proceeds payable to Goodyear or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such property; and

(d) the transfer of such property is permitted by Section 6.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate outstanding amount of Attributable Debt of GEBV and the Restricted GEBV Subsidiaries in respect of Sale/Leaseback Transactions shall not exceed €65,000,000.

SECTION 6.08. Fundamental Changes. Each of Goodyear and GEBV and each other Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, merge into, amalgamate or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into, amalgamate or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of transactions) assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries) constituting all or substantially all the assets of Goodyear and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or all or substantially all the assets of GEBV and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, in the case of Goodyear or any Borrower, liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Restricted GEBV Subsidiary may merge into Goodyear in a transaction in which Goodyear is the surviving corporation, (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge into any other Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Restricted Subsidiary; except that (A) no U.S. Subsidiary may merge into a Foreign Subsidiary, (B) neither GEBV nor any Restricted GEBV Subsidiary may merge into a Restricted Subsidiary that is not GEBV or a Restricted GEBV Subsidiary (other than a merger of a Restricted GEBV Subsidiary into a Restricted Subsidiary that will become a Restricted GEBV Subsidiary upon the consummation of such merger), (C) no GEBV Loan Party may merge into a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a GEBV Loan Party (other than a Restricted Subsidiary that will become a GEBV Loan Party upon the consummation of such merger) and (D) no Borrower may merge into a Restricted Subsidiary if the surviving entity of such merger is not organized under the laws of The Netherlands, Luxembourg or the Federal Republic of Germany, (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; 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. GEBV Leverage Ratio. GEBV will not permit the ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter of (a) Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness at such date to (b) Consolidated GEBV 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. [Intentionally omitted].

SECTION 6.11. [Intentionally omitted].

SECTION 6.12. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. (a) Each Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and each Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its

118

[[5882185]]

Subsidiaries shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or any Letter of Credit in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws where such violation would be material to the rights or interests of the Lenders.

(b) Each Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and each Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or any Letter of Credit for the purpose of funding any activity, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activity, business or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a Person organized or formed under the laws of the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France or the United Kingdom.

121

[[5882185]]

deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations under each Class of Loans and in respect of the LC Disbursements 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 Disbursements 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 Disbursements 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, but giving effect to assignments after the CAM Exchange Date, it being understood that nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of a single Class of Commitments or Loans. 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. In the event that, after the CAM Exchange, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of an LC Disbursement by an Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, then (a) each ABT Lender shall promptly purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Lender’s ABT Percentage of such LC Disbursement (without giving effect to the CAM Exchange), (b) the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the ABT Lenders, and the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have made reciprocal purchases of interests in the Designated Obligations such that each Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each of the Designated Obligations and (c) in the event distributions shall have been made in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Lenders shall make such payments to one another as shall be necessary in order that the amounts received by them shall be equal to the amounts they would have received had each LC Disbursement been outstanding immediately prior to the CAM Exchange. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 7.04. Collections. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the decision of the Majority 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 GEBV Loan Party, Goodyear or any U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor other than the GEBV 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 GYG 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. Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to provide notifications to any Credit Party as may be advisable pursuant to Article 2302 of the French Civil Code.

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 willful 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, GEBV 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.

123

[[5882185]]

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 GEBV), 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 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 GEBV, provided that the Collateral Agent’s resignation and the successor collateral agent’s appointment shall only be effective once any ancillary actions to register the successor collateral agent in relation to any then-existing Security Agreement in any relevant overseas security registry, has been completed. Upon receipt of any such notice of an Agent’s intent to resign, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with GEBV’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required from GEBV if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 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 intent to resign, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with GEBV’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 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 and under the other Credit Documents 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 and under the other Credit Documents (except that if the retiring Agent is the Collateral Agent, such retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold security interests subject to registration requirements on behalf of the Lenders until such time the successor Collateral Agent is registered as collateral agent, security agent or similar in the relevant registry). After an Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, 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

124

[[5882185]]

Administrative Agent and (b) exempts each Agent from the restrictions set forth in Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Burgerliches Gesetzbuch) to the extent legally possible for such Lender or Issuing Bank. A Lender or Issuing Bank that is excluded from granting such exemption for legal reasons shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.

Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agents and their respective affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments;

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

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

In addition, unless either (1) the foregoing clause (i) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with the foregoing clause (iv), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such

125

[[5882185]]

Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this paragraph and the immediately following paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) made with funds of a Person other than the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties or any of their subsidiaries are not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower.

Each party’s obligations under this paragraph and the three immediately preceding paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Credit Document.

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 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, GEBV 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) Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including in Section 2.21 and Section 2.22), 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 paragraph (b) of Section 9.14); provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend the expiration date of any 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 (except as expressly permitted hereby or by any Security Document, including Section 11.13 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), (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 the Supermajority Lenders (except as expressly permitted hereby or by any Security Document, including Section 11.13 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), (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 2.17 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

128

[[5882185]]

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 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, (x) change any provision of Section 2.20 or of the definition of “Bankruptcy Event”, “Defaulting Lender”, “DL Party”, “Excess Amount” or “Lender Parent” without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank or (xi) change any provision of Section 9.26 without the written consent of each Restricted DL Party; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, Issuing Bank or 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 any 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 any Swingline Lender, any provision of Section 2.05 affecting such 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, Issuing Bank or 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 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 Swingline Lenders) 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 Commitments by converting the currency in which existing Commitments are denominated from Euros to like amounts of U.S. 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 Commitments and treating such converted 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 Commitments established thereby and to effect such other changes (including changes to the provisions of this Section, Section 2.17 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

129

[[5882185]]

currency in which Commitments are denominated or the establishment of any new Class of 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 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 GEBV 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 Commitments pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall offer each Lender the opportunity to convert its applicable Commitments. If a greater amount is tendered for conversion than the Borrowers wish to convert, the Commitments of each tendering Lender shall be accepted for conversion on a pro rata basis based on the percentage of all the applicable Commitments tendered by all Lenders represented by the amount tendered by such Lender.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Indemnitees, Goodyear or its Affiliates or its or their representatives shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Letter of Credit or Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith; provided that this sentence shall not limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of GEBV to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this paragraph.

(c) To the extent that GEBV fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any 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 ratable 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

131

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) subject to Section 2.18, no Lender or Issuing Bank 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 and Section 2.18, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than Goodyear or a Subsidiary or a natural person, but 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) GEBV; provided that no consent of GEBV shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Federal Reserve Bank or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(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; and

(C) in the case of any assignment of an ABT Commitment or any interests in a Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment to 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 of the applicable Class unless each of GEBV and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, provided (i) that no such consent of GEBV shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 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;

132

[[5882185]]

(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, except as contemplated by Section 2.18, 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, 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 (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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 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 and, as to entries pertaining to it, 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 (except as contemplated by Section 2.18) 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

133

[[5882185]]

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 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), GEBV (or the Administrative Agent, at the expense of GEBV) shall promptly notify each Subsidiary Guarantor organized under the laws of (A) the Republic of France of such assignment by written notice in accordance with Article 1324 of the French Civil Code and (B) Luxembourg of such assignment in accordance with Article 1690 of the Luxembourg Civil Code. If such assignment is made without GEBV’s consent, the Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice of such assignment to GEBV.

(viii) For the purposes of paragraph 2 of Article 1334 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 and shall continue in full force for the benefit of the assignee and the other Secured Parties. A transfer by way of novation under this Section 9.04(b) is also a novation (novation) within the meaning of Articles 1329 et seq. of the French Civil Code.

(ix) For the purposes of Italian law only, any assignment or transfer made under an Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to constitute a cessione totale o parziale del contratto or a cessione del credito or otherwise a successione a titolo particolare and shall not entail under Italian law a novazione of (or have an effetto novativo on) the Obligations. Furthermore, GEBV hereby expressly consents to any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04(b) by any Lender to any other Lender according to Article 1407 of the Italian Civil Code.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Goodyear, GEBV, any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any 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

134

[[5882185]]

responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations under Sections 2.16(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.16(f) and (g) shall be delivered to the applicable Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. 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 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 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 GEBV’s prior written consent, which consent shall specifically refer to this exception.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, 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 or other central banking authority, 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.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 shall be deemed an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b) and shall be valid and in full force and effect for all purposes under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Goodyear, GEBV 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 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters 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

135

[[5882185]]

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 been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII 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; Electronic Signatures. (a) This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Issuing Bank Agreements, any Swingline Agreement 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 (but do not supersede any provisions of any commitment, engagement or fee letter that by the terms of such document survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement). 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 words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Credit Document (except Notarized Credit Documents) and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Credit Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except in relation to Notarized Credit Documents, each Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, Electronic Signatures to this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) agrees that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and

Each financial institution that shall be party to an Issuing Bank Agreement executed by GEBV 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.

With respect to the Security Documents governed by Italian law, any assignment or transfer shall be construed under Italian law as a cessione totale o parziale del contratto or a cessione del credito or otherwise a successione a titolo particolare and shall not entail under Italian law a novazione (or have an effetto novativo on) of this Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the Security Documents governed by Italian law or any other agreements or instruments from time to time giving rise to the Applicable Secured Obligations.

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 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) The obligations of Goodyear or any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any

140

[[5882185]]

judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each of Goodyear and each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Applicable Creditor agrees to return the amount of any excess to Goodyear and the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The obligations of Goodyear and the Borrowers and any Applicable Creditor contained in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

On the date that an assignee becomes party to this Agreement as a Lender that Lender hereby represents and warrants that on that date it is a Non-Public Lender, as evidenced by a verification letter delivered to GEBV in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

SECTION 9.18. Power of Attorney. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank hereby (and each Affiliate of a Lender by entering into an Affiliate Authorization thereby) (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank (or Affiliate), all and any Credit Documents (including without limitation Security Documents) and related documentation, (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to appoint any further agents or attorneys to execute and deliver, or otherwise to act, on behalf of and in the name of the Collateral Agent for any such purpose, and (iii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to do any and all acts and to make and receive all declarations which are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Collateral Agent. 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 to the extent legally possible for such Lender or Issuing Bank. A Lender or Issuing Bank that is excluded from granting such exemption for legal reasons shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. 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, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence. 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 (i) appoints the Collateral Agent (and any agents and attorneys appointed under this Section 9.18) to be its agent (mandatario con rappresentanza) for the purpose of executing in its name and on its behalf any Credit Document which is expressed to be governed by Italian law; (ii) grants the Collateral Agent the powers to negotiate and approve the terms and conditions of such Credit Documents, execute any other agreement or instruments, give or receive any notice and take any other action in relation to the creation, perfection, maintenance, confirmation, extension, enforcement and release, in whole or in part, of the security created thereunder, in each case in the name and on behalf of it and the other Secured Parties; (iii) consents that the

141

[[5882185]]

Collateral Agent may act as its agent (mandatario con rappresentanza) in all cases of 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) in accordance with Article 1394 and execute each Credit Document expressed to be executed by the Collateral Agent on its behalf including to execute any document with itself (contratto con se stesso) in accordance with Article 1395 of the Italian Civil Code. 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 original of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any notices or other written confirmations or references to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or certified or notarized copies thereof or any signed document constituting substitute documentation thereof within the meaning of the Austrian Stamp Duty Act, 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.

(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, (y) a copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document signed (whether manuscript or electronic, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the name of an individual or other entity) or endorsed by one or more parties or (z) any other document constituting substitute documentation of a Stamp Duty Sensitive Document 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 defense 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

142

[[5882185]]

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

(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 in any case outside the Republic of Austria, which in particular means that (i) for payments from Austria a payment obligation is effectively discharged only if funds are credited to a foreign (non-Austrian) account of the recipient of that payment; (ii) for payments to Austria a payment obligation is discharged if funds are wired/transferred from a foreign (non-Austrian) account of the person making that payment; and (iii) in no event shall recipient and payer both use Austrian accounts for settling a payment. It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that any such performance within Austria will not establish Austria as the place of performance and shall be deemed not effective with respect to any party hereto; in particular such performance shall not discharge a party from its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.21. 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. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

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

143

[[5882185]]
