Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to an address, or transmission via facsimile, other than as set forth above will not constitute a valid delivery. The instructions contained herein should be read carefully before this Letter of Transmittal is completed.
HOLDERS WHO WISH TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE EXCHANGE NOTES FOR THEIR ORIGINAL NOTES PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER MUST VALIDLY TENDER (AND NOT WITHDRAW) THEIR ORIGINAL NOTES TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT AT OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.
By execution hereof, the undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus (the “Prospectus”), dated , 2021, of Titan International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Titan” or the “Company”), which, together with this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto (the “Letter of Transmittal”), constitute the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000 of its 7.000% Senior Notes

due 2028 (the “Exchange Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement of which the Prospectus constitutes a part, for an equal principal amount of its outstanding unregistered 7.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP Nos. 88830M AL6, U8885E AF6; ISIN Nos.: US88830MAL63, USU8885EAEF61) (the “Original Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Prospectus.
The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make the Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with resales.
Each holder of Original Notes wishing to participate in the Exchange Offer, except holders of Original Notes executing their tenders through the Automated Tender Offers Program (“ATOP”) procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), should complete, sign and submit this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, U.S. Bank National Association, at or prior to the Expiration Date.
This Letter of Transmittal may be used to participate in the Exchange Offer if Original Notes are to be tendered by effecting a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and instructions are not being transmitted through ATOP, for which the Exchange Offer is eligible. Unless you intend to tender your Original Notes through ATOP, you should complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action you desire to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.
Holders of Original Notes tendering by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC may execute tenders through ATOP, for which the Exchange Offer is eligible. Financial institutions that are DTC participants may execute tenders through ATOP by transmitting acceptance of the Exchange Offer to DTC at or prior to the Expiration Date. DTC will verify acceptance of the Exchange Offer, execute a book-entry transfer of the tendered Original Notes into the account of the Exchange Agent at DTC and send to the Exchange Agent a “book-entry confirmation,” which shall include an agent’s message. An “agent’s message” is a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from a DTC participant tendering Original Notes that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal as an undersigned hereof and that the Company may enforce such agreement against the participant. Delivery of the agent’s message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the DTC participant identified in the agent’s message. Accordingly, holders who tender their Original Notes through DTC’s ATOP procedures shall be bound by, but need not complete, this Letter of Transmittal.
If you are a beneficial owner that holds Original Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg and wish to tender your Original Notes, you must instruct Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, to block the account in respect of the tendered Original Notes in accordance with the procedures established by Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg. You are encouraged to contact Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg directly to ascertain their procedures for tendering Original Notes.
Tendering holders of Original Notes must tender Original Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. Exchange Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter.
Any holder that is a bank, broker, or other custodial entity holding Original Notes on behalf of more than one beneficial owner may submit to the Exchange Agent a list of the aggregate principal amount of Original Notes owned by each such beneficial owner, and the Exchange Agent, in determining the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes to be issued to such holder, will treat each such beneficial owner as a separate holder.
Holders that anticipate tendering other than through DTC are urged to contact promptly a bank, broker or other intermediary (that has the capability to hold securities custodially through DTC) to arrange for receipt of Exchange Notes to be delivered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and to obtain the information necessary to provide the required DTC participant with account information in this Letter of Transmittal.

Titan reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, at any time, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, except for the conditions that the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not subject to a stop order or any proceedings for that purpose. Titan will give you notice of any amendments, if required by applicable law. The term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date to which the Exchange Offer is extended.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the Original Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company, all right, title and interest in and to such Original Notes as are being tendered hereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus dated , 2021 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”), receipt of which is acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company and acts as Trustee and Collateral Trustee under the Indenture for the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes) with respect to the tendered Original Notes with full power of substitution to (1) transfer ownership of such Original Notes on the account books maintained by DTC with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company and (2) present such Original Notes for transfer on the books of the Company and receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Original Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Original Notes tendered hereby and that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Company. The undersigned hereby further represents that it is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company, that any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of business and that at the time of commencement of the Exchange Offer it had no arrangement with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes.
In addition, if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, it represents that the Original Notes to be exchanged for Exchange Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
The Company has agreed that, subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 22, 2021, the Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a participating broker-dealer (as defined below) in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such participating broker-dealer for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for a period ending 180 days after the Expiration Date or, if earlier, when all such Exchange Notes have been disposed of by such participating broker-dealer. In that regard, each broker-dealer who acquired Original Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “participating broker-dealer”), by tendering such Original Notes and executing this Letter of Transmittal, agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any fact which makes any statement contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which causes the Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or of the occurrence of certain other events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, such participating broker-dealer will suspend the sale of Exchange Notes pursuant to the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented Prospectus to the participating broker-dealer or the Company has given notice that the sale of the Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case may be.

The undersigned also acknowledges that the Exchange Offer is being made by the Company based upon the Company’s understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that: (1) such holders are not affiliates of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (2) such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business; (3) such holders are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes; and (4) such holders are not broker-dealers tendering Original Notes that have been acquired from the Company for their own account. However, the staff of the Commission has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If a holder of Original Notes is an affiliate of the Company, acquires the Exchange Notes other than in the ordinary course of such holder’s business or is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.
The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Original Notes tendered hereby. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights” section of the Prospectus.
For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes when and if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.
Unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions,” the undersigned hereby requests that the Exchange Agent credit the DTC account specified in the table entitled “Description of Original Notes,” for any book-entry transfers of Original Notes not accepted for exchange. If the “Special Issuance Instructions” are completed, the undersigned hereby requests that the Exchange Agent credit the DTC account indicated therein for any book-entry transfers of Original Notes not accepted for exchange, in the name of the person or account indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions.” The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” to transfer any Original Notes from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the Original Notes so tendered.
THE UNDERSIGNED, BY COMPLETING THE BOX ENTITLED “DESCRIPTION OF ORIGINAL NOTES” ABOVE AND SIGNING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE TENDERED THE ORIGINAL NOTES AS SET FORTH IN SUCH BOX ABOVE.
SPECIAL ISSUANCE INSTRUCTIONS
(SEE INSTRUCTIONS 2, 4 AND 5)

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions
of the Exchange Offer

1. | Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders if tenders of Original Notes are to be made by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and instructions are not being transmitted through ATOP.
Confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of all Original Notes delivered electronically, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) or properly transmitted agent’s message, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein before the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer.
Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may electronically transmit its acceptance of the Exchange Offer by causing DTC to transfer Original Notes to the Exchange Agent in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures for such transfer at or prior to the Expiration Date of such Exchange Offer. The Exchange Agent will make available its general participant account at DTC for the Original Notes for purposes of the Exchange Offer.
Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal to Titan or DTC will not constitute valid delivery to the Exchange Agent. No Letter of Transmittal should be sent to Titan or DTC.
The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents, including delivery through DTC and any acceptance or agent’s message delivered through ATOP, is at the option and risk of the tendering holder. Delivery is not complete until the required items are actually received by the Exchange Agent. If you mail these items, we recommend that you (1) use registered mail properly insured with return receipt requested and (2) mail the required items in sufficient time to ensure timely delivery.
Any beneficial owner whose Original Notes are held by or in the name of a custodial entity such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee should be aware that such custodial entity may have deadlines earlier than the Expiration Date for such custodial entity to be advised of the action that the beneficial owner may wish for the custodial entity to take with respect to the beneficial owner’s Original Notes. Accordingly, such beneficial owners are urged to contact any custodial entities through which such Original Notes are held as soon as possible in order to learn of the applicable deadlines of such entities.
Neither Titan nor the Exchange Agent is under any obligation to notify any tendering holder of Titan’s acceptance of tendered Original Notes at or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer.

2. | Delivery of Exchange Notes.

Exchange Notes will be delivered only in book-entry form through DTC and only to the DTC account of the tendering holder or the tendering holder’s custodian. Accordingly, the appropriate DTC participant name and number (along with any other required account information) to permit such delivery must be provided in the table entitled “Description of Original Notes.” Failure to do so will render a tender of Original Notes defective and Titan will have the right, which it may waive, to reject such tender. Holders who anticipate tendering by a method other than through DTC are urged to promptly contact a bank, broker or other intermediary (that has the facility to hold

securities custodially through DTC) to arrange for receipt of any Exchange Notes delivered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and to obtain the information necessary to complete the table.

3. | Amount of Tenders.

Tenders of Original Notes will be accepted only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Holders who tender less than all of their Original Notes must continue to hold Original Notes in the minimum authorized denomination of $2,000 principal amount.

4. | Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal; Instruments of Transfer; Guarantee of Signatures.

For purposes of this Letter of Transmittal, the term “registered holder” means an owner of record as well as any DTC participant that has Original Notes credited to its DTC account. Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a recognized participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the NYSE Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each, a “Medallion Signature Guarantor”). Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed if:

| • |  | this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing of DTC as the owner of the Original Notes and the holder(s) has/have not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal; or

| • |  | the Original Notes are tendered for the account of an eligible institution.

An eligible institution is one of the following firms or other entities identified in Rule 17Ad–15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as the terms are defined in such Rule):

| • |  | a bank;

| • |  | a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal securities broker, government securities dealer or government securities broker;

| • |  | a credit union;

| • |  | a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or

| • |  | a savings association.

If Original Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or if Original Notes not accepted for exchange are to be returned to a person other than the registered holder, then the signatures on this Letter of Transmittal accompanying the tendered Original Notes must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor as described above.
If any of the Original Notes tendered are held by two or more registered holders, all of the registered holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
If a number of Original Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such Original Notes.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or holders of the Original Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Original Notes) listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of the tendered Original Notes or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required. In any other case, if tendering Original Notes, the registered holder (or acting holder) must either validly endorse the Original Notes or transmit validly completed bond power with this Letter of Transmittal (in either case executed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the Original Notes, and, with respect to a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Original Notes, exactly as the name of such participant appears on such security position listing), with the signature on the Original Notes or bond power guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor (except where the Original Notes are tendered for the account of an eligible institution).
If Original Notes are to be tendered by any person other than the person in whose name the Original Notes are registered, the Original Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate written instrument(s) of transfer executed exactly as the name(s) of the holder(s) appear on the Original Notes, with the signature(s) on the Original Notes or instrument(s) of transfer guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor, and this Letter of Transmittal must be executed and delivered either by the holder(s), or by the tendering person pursuant to a valid proxy signed by the holder(s), which signature must, in either case, be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor.
Titan will not accept any alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders. By executing this Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) or directing DTC to transmit an agent’s message, you waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of your Original Notes for exchange.
If this Letter of Transmittal or instruments of transfer are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians or attorneys–in–fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by Titan, evidence satisfactory to Titan of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
Beneficial owners whose tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee if such beneficial owners desire to tender such Original Notes.

5. | Special Issuance Instructions.

Holders tendering Original Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Original Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such note holder may designate hereon. Tendering Holders of Original Notes should indicate in the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions,” the DTC participant name and number, if different from the name or address or the DTC participant name and number, as the case may be, of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named also must be indicated. If no such instructions are given, such Original Notes not exchanged will be returned to the name and address or the account maintained at DTC, as the case may be, of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal.

6. | Transfer Taxes.

Holders who tender their Original Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Original Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Original Notes specified in this Letter of Transmittal.

7. | Tax Identification Number and Backup Withholding.

An exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes generally will not be treated as a taxable exchange or other taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In particular, no backup withholding or information reporting is required in connection with such an exchange. However, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that payments of principal and interest on a note to a holder be subject to backup withholding unless such holder provides the payor with such holder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the Form W-9 below or otherwise establishes a basis for exemption. If such holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the payor is not provided with the current TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such tendering holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, such holder may be subject to backup withholding in an amount that is currently 24% of all reportable payments of principal and interest.
Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed Form W-9 for additional instructions.
To prevent backup withholding on reportable payments of principal and interest, each tendering holder of Original Notes must provide its correct TIN by completing the Form W-9 enclosed below, certifying (A) that the
TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), (B) that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to a backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding and (C) that the holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). If the Original Notes are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, such holder should consult the General Instructions on Form W-9 for information on which TIN to report. If such holder does not have a TIN, such holder should consult the General Instructions on Form W-9 for instructions on applying for a TIN, and write “applied for” in lieu of its TIN. Note: writing “applied for” on the form means that such holder has already applied for a TIN or that such holder intends to apply for one in the near future. If a holder writes “applied for” on Form W-9, backup withholding at a rate currently of 24% will nevertheless apply to all reportable payments made by such holder. If such a holder furnishes its TIN to the Company within 60 calendar days, however, any amounts so withheld shall be refunded to such holder.
If the tendering holder of Original Notes is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, such holder must give the Company a completed Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding), W-8BEN-E or other appropriate Form W-8. These forms may be obtained from the Exchange Agent or from the Internal Revenue Service’s website, www.irs.gov. If backup withholding applies, the payor will withhold the appropriate percentage (currently 30% for non-U.S. holders) from payments to the payee. Backup withholding is not an additional Federal income tax. Rather, the Federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.
The preceding discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations of exchanging Original Notes for Exchange Notes is for general information only and is not tax advice. Each investor should consult its own tax advisor as to particular tax consequences to it of exchanging Original Notes for Exchange Notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws, and of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

8. | Waiver of Conditions.

Titan reserves the absolute right to amend or waive any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer enumerated in the Prospectus at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, except for the conditions that the

registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not subject to a stop order or any proceedings for that purpose.

9. | Validity of Tenders; No Conditional Tenders.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer will be determined by Titan, in its sole discretion, and Titan’s determination will be final and binding. Titan reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders not in proper form or the acceptance for exchange of which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. Titan also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Original Notes in the Exchange Offer, and its interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. None of Titan, the Exchange Agent, the Trustee under Titan’s Indenture, or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Tenders of Original Notes involving any irregularities will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Original Notes received by the Exchange Agent in connection with either Exchange Offer that are not validly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the DTC participant who delivered such Original Notes by crediting an account maintained at DTC designated by such DTC participant, in either case promptly after the Expiration Date of the applicable Exchange Offer or the withdrawal or termination of the applicable Exchange Offer.
No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of Original Notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal or, in lieu thereof, a Book-Entry Acknowledgement, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Original Notes for exchange.

10. | Withdrawal.

Tenders may be withdrawn only pursuant to the procedures and subject to the terms set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights.”

11. | Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.
