NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Company,” “Goodyear,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “ 2015 Form 10-K”).

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2016 .

Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America strategic business units ("SBUs") into one Americas SBU. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance that eliminates the requirement in a business combination to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. Instead, measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The adoption of this standards update did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and the accounting for such an arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of the arrangement is accounted for consistently with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the agreement is accounted for as a service contract. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs that requires costs incurred to issue debt to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements will be presented as an asset. The new guidance also requires the amortization of such costs be reported in Interest Expense in the Statement of Operations. The adoption of this standards update resulted in reclassifications of $15 million from Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and $33 million from Other Assets which decreased Long Term Debt and Capital Leases Due Within One Year by $2 million and Long Term Debt and Capital Leases by $46 million at December 31, 2015. The adoption of this standards update also resulted in a reclassification of $4 million of expense from Other (Income) Expense to Interest Expense in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on employee share-based payment accounting. This update involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax effects, forfeitures and classifications on the statement of cash flows. The standards update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual period; however, all amendments must be adopted at the same time. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on the transition to the equity method of accounting. This update eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. Instead, the investor is required to apply the equity method prospectively from the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. In addition, an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method must recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. The

(Unaudited)

standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations relating to leases. Lessees will be required to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The FASB retained a dual model for lease classification, requiring leases to be classified as finance or operating leases to determine recognition in the statements of operations and cash flows; however, almost all leases will be required to be recognized on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged from the current accounting model. The standards update will also require quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. The standards update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. It must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, and provides for certain practical expedients. The transition will require application at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented at the time of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on the measurement of inventory. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management must evaluate whether it is probable that known conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, would raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such conditions or events are identified, the standard requires management's mitigation plans to alleviate the doubt or a statement of the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern to be disclosed in the financial statements. The standards update is effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standards update outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to utilize to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods and services. Additional disclosures will also be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates with amendments to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licenses and determining if a company is the principal or agent in a revenue arrangement. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standards update to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on the original effective date of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating our significant contracts and assessing any impact of adopting this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all legal entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest generally arises from our ownership of a majority of the voting shares of our subsidiaries. We would also hold a controlling financial interest in variable interest entities if we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we do not own a majority interest and we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Effective December 31, 2015, we concluded that we did not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan subsidiary and began reporting the results of our Venezuelan subsidiary using the cost method of accounting. We have determined the fair value of our investment in, and receivables from, our Venezuelan subsidiary to be insignificant based on our expectations of dividend payments and settlements of such receivables in future periods. Beginning January 1, 2016, our financial results do not include the operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary although that subsidiary has continued operations. We will record income from sales of inventory and raw materials or from dividends or royalties to the extent cash is received from our Venezuelan subsidiary. Our exposure to future losses resulting from our Venezuelan subsidiary is limited to the extent that we decide to provide raw materials or finished goods to, or make future investments in, our Venezuelan subsidiary.

Dissolution of Global Alliance with Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. ("SRI")

On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced dissolution of its global alliance with SRI in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2015, by and between the Company and SRI.

Prior to the dissolution, the Company owned 75% and SRI owned 25% of two companies, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. (“GDTE”) and Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (“GDTNA”). GDTE owns and operates substantially all of the Company’s tire businesses in Western Europe. GDTNA had rights to the Dunlop brand and operated certain related businesses in North America. In Japan, the Company owned 25% , and SRI owned 75% , of two companies, one, Nippon Goodyear Ltd. (“NGY”), for the sale of Goodyear-brand passenger and truck tires for replacement in Japan and the other, Dunlop Goodyear Tires Ltd. (“DGT”), for the sale of Goodyear-brand and Dunlop-brand tires to vehicle manufacturers in Japan.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company has sold to SRI its 75% interest in GDTNA, 25% interest in DGT and Huntsville, Alabama test track used by GDTNA. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any remaining ownership interests in GDTNA, DGT or the Huntsville, Alabama test track. With the sale of GDTNA, SRI obtained full ownership of the Dunlop motorcycle tire business in North America and the rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires to Japanese vehicle manufacturers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company retained exclusive rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires in both the consumer and commercial replacement markets of the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as to non-Japanese vehicle manufacturers in those countries.

The Company also has acquired from SRI its 75% interest in NGY and 25% interest in GDTE. Accordingly, the Company now has full ownership interests in NGY and GDTE. In addition, SRI obtained exclusive rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires in those countries that were previously non-exclusive under the global alliance, including Russia, Turkey and certain countries in Africa.

Prior to October 1, 2015, GDTE’s assets and liabilities were included in our consolidated balance sheets and GDTE’s results of operations were included in our consolidated statements of operations, which also reflected SRI’s minority interest in GDTE. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we continue to include GDTE in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations; however, there is no minority interest impact to our results of operations related to GDTE. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2015, we accounted for NGY under the equity method as we did not have a controlling financial interest in NGY. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we have a controlling interest in NGY and, accordingly, NGY’s assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets and NGY’s results of operations are included in our consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RATIONALIZATION PROGRAMS

In order to maintain our global competitiveness, we have implemented rationalization actions over the past several years to reduce high-cost manufacturing capacity and associate headcount.

The following table shows the roll-forward of our liability between periods:

The accrual balance of $89 million at March 31, 2016 is expected to be substantially utilized within the next 12 months, and includes $30 million related to the plan to close our Wolverhampton, U.K. mixing and retreading facility and the plan to transfer consumer tire production from our manufacturing facility in Wittlich, Germany to other manufacturing facilities in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), as well as $20 million related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France.

Asset Write-off and Accelerated Depreciation Charges	$	2	$	3

There were no new rationalization actions initiated during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015. Substantially all of the new charges for prior year plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 related to future cash outflows. Net prior year plan charges for the first quarter of 2016 include charges of $6 million for associate severance and idle plant costs related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France. In addition, net prior year plan charges for the first quarter of 2015 include charges of $12 million for associate severance and idle plant costs related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France and our exit from the farm tire business in EMEA. Rationalization charges in 2016 of $11 million relate to previously announced rationalization plans that had approximately $365 million in charges incurred prior to 2016 and for which approximately $30 million is expected to be incurred in future periods.

In the first quarter of 2016, approximately 200 associates were released under plans initiated in prior years. In total, approximately 500 associates remain to be released under rationalization plans. At March 31, 2016 , approximately 800 former associates of the closed Amiens, France manufacturing facility have asserted wrongful termination or other claims against us. Refer to Note 11.

Accelerated depreciation charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily related to the plan to close our Wolverhampton, U.K. mixing and retreading facility. Accelerated depreciation charges for the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to property and equipment in one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France. Accelerated depreciation charges for all periods were recorded in cost of goods sold (“CGS”).

Royalty income in the first quarter of 2016 was $4 million , compared to $165 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Royalty income is derived primarily from licensing arrangements related to divested businesses. Royalty income in 2015 included a one-time pre-tax gain of $155 million on the recognition of deferred income resulting from the termination of a licensing agreement associated with the sale of our former Engineered Products business ("Veyance"). The licensing agreement was terminated following the acquisition of Veyance by Continental AG in January 2015.

Net foreign currency exchange gains in the first quarter of 2016 were $2 million compared to losses of $16 million in the first quarter of 2015 .

Also included in Other (Income) Expense are financing fees and financial instruments expense consisting of commitment fees and charges incurred in connection with financing transactions; interest income consisting primarily of amounts earned on cash deposits; general and product liability expense (income) — discontinued products which includes charges for claims against us related primarily to asbestos personal injury claims, net of probable insurance recoveries; and net gains and losses on asset sales. During the first quarter of 2016 general and product liability — discontinued products included a $3 million benefit for an insurance recovery related to past costs.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

In the first quarter of 2016 , we recorded tax expense of $78 million on income before income taxes of $267 million . For the first quarter of 2015, we recorded tax expense of $123 million on income before income taxes of $359 million . Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was favorably impacted by $12 million , primarily related to a $7 million tax benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance in our Americas operations and $5 million of tax benefits related to other discrete tax adjustments, including the resolution of an audit in our Americas operations. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was unfavorably impacted by $4 million of discrete tax adjustments, primarily related to prior tax years, resulting from an audit in EMEA.

Our losses in various foreign taxing jurisdictions in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of our net foreign deferred tax assets. However, it is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion, of certain valuation allowances will exist during 2016. This may result in a reduction of the valuation allowance by up to $275 million .

At January 1, 2016 , we had unrecognized tax benefits of $54 million that if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our tax expense of $40 million . We had accrued interest of $5 million as of January 1, 2016 . If not favorably settled, $9 million of the unrecognized tax benefits and all of the accrued interest would require the use of our cash. We do not expect any changes to our unrecognized tax benefits to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Generally, years from 2010 onward are still open to examination by foreign taxing authorities. We are open to examination in Germany from 2011 onward and in the United States for 2015.

NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts were exercised or converted into common stock.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated as follows:

NOTE 6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America SBUs into one Americas SBU. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. As a result, we now operate our business through three operating segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific.

The prior year Americas operating income has been adjusted to reflect the elimination of intercompany profit between the former North America and Latin America SBUs, whereas the elimination had previously been reflected in Corporate CGS. In addition, certain start-up costs related to the construction of our new manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico were reclassified from Corporate Other (Income) Expense to Americas segment operating income to align with the new organizational structure beginning in 2016.

CREDIT FACILITIES

$2.0 billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017

Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million . Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million . Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under the facility and our subsidiaries' obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in a variety of collateral. Amounts drawn under this facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points.

Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which was based primarily on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory and other components of the borrowing base decline in value, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. As of March 31, 2016 , our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under this facility was $618 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion .

The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.

At March 31, 2016 , we had $270 million of borrowings and $284 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2015 , we had no borrowings and $315 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

On April 7, 2016, we amended and restated the first lien revolving credit facility. Changes to the facility include extending the maturity to 2021 and reducing the interest rate for loans under the facility by 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 125 basis points, based on our current liquidity. In addition, the borrowing base will be increased to include (i) the value of our principal trademarks and (ii) certain cash in an amount not to exceed $200 million.

Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019

Our obligations under our second lien term loan facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by second priority security interests in the same collateral securing the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. This facility may be increased by up to $300 million at our request, subject to the consent of the lenders making such additional term loans. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 75 basis points.

After June 16, 2015 and prior to June 16, 2016, (i) loans under the facility may not be prepaid or repaid with the proceeds of term loan indebtedness, or converted into or replaced by new term loans, bearing interest at an effective interest rate that is less than the effective interest rate then applicable to such loans and (ii) no amendment of the facility may be made that, directly or indirectly, reduces the effective interest rate applicable to the loans under the facility, in each case unless we pay a fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the loans so affected.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts outstanding under this facility were $598 million .

€550 million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2020

Our amended and restated €550 million European revolving credit facility consists of (i) a €125 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (“GDTG”) and (ii) a €425 million all-borrower tranche that is available to GDTE, GDTG and Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations S.A. Up to €150 million of swingline loans and €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. Amounts drawn under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds sterling and EURIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in euros.

GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany provide guarantees to support the facility. The German guarantors secure the German tranche on a first-lien basis and the all-borrower tranche on a second-lien basis. GDTE and its other subsidiaries that provide guarantees secure the all-borrower tranche on a first-lien basis and generally do not provide collateral support for the German tranche. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and primary Canadian subsidiary that guarantee our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described above also provide unsecured guarantees in support of the facility.

adverse change in our business or financial condition since December 31, 2014. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.

At March 31, 2016 , the amounts outstanding under the German and all-borrower tranche were $142 million ( €125 million ) and $126 million ( €110 million ), respectively. At December 31, 2015 , there were no borrowings outstanding under the European revolving credit facility. There were no letters of credit issued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)

GDTE and certain other of our European subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that expires in 2019. The terms of the facility provide the flexibility to designate annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than €45 million and not more than €450 million . For the period beginning October 16, 2015 to October 15, 2016, the designated maximum amount of the facility is €340 million .

The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GDTE subsidiaries to a bankruptcy-remote French company controlled by one of the liquidity banks in the facility. These subsidiaries retain servicing responsibilities. Utilization under this facility is based on eligible receivable balances .

The funding commitments under the facility will expire upon the earliest to occur of: (a) September 25, 2019 , (b) the non-renewal and expiration (without substitution) of all of the back-up liquidity commitments, (c) the early termination of the facility according to its terms (generally upon an Early Amortisation Event (as defined in the facility), which includes, among other things, events similar to the events of default under our senior secured credit facilities; certain tax law changes; or certain changes to law, regulation or accounting standards), or (d) our request for early termination of the facility. The facility’s current back-up liquidity commitments will expire on October 15, 2016.

At March 31, 2016 , the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $247 million ( €217 million ). At December 31, 2015 , the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $276 million ( €254 million ) and $125 million ( €115 million ), respectively. The program does not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.

In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program that provides up to $65 million ( 85 million Australian dollars) of funding. The terms of the facility provide flexibility to designate semi-annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than 60 million Australian dollars and not more than 85 million Australian dollars. At March 31, 2016 , the amounts available and utilized under this program were $36 million and $21 million , respectively. At December 31, 2015 , the amounts available and utilized under this program were $34 million and $19 million , respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.

For a description of the collateral securing the credit facilities described above as well as the covenants applicable to them, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2015 Form 10-K.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)

Various subsidiaries sold certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At March 31, 2016 , the gross amount of receivables sold was $249 million , compared to $299 million at December 31, 2015 .

Other Foreign Credit Facilities

A Chinese subsidiary has several financing arrangements in China. At March 31, 2016 , these non-revolving credit facilities had total unused availability of $67 million and can only be used to finance the expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the amounts outstanding under these facilities were $433 million and $465 million , respectively. The facilities ultimately mature in 2023 and principal amortization began in 2015. The facilities contain covenants relating to the Chinese subsidiary and have customary representations and warranties and defaults relating to the Chinese subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the facilities. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , restricted cash related to funds obtained under these credit facilities was $3 million and $11 million , respectively.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Contracts

We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts may be used to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

The following table presents the fair values for foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments:

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , these outstanding foreign currency derivatives had notional amounts of $1,188 million and $1,094 million , respectively, and were primarily related to intercompany loans. Other (Income) Expense included net transaction losses on derivatives of $23 million and net transaction gains on derivatives of $58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts were more than offset in Other (Income) Expense by the effect of changing exchange rates on the underlying currency exposures.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , these outstanding foreign currency derivatives had notional amounts of $156 million and $168 million , respectively, and primarily related to U.S. dollar denominated intercompany transactions.

We enter into master netting agreements with counterparties. The amounts eligible for offset under the master netting agreements are not material and we have elected a gross presentation of foreign currency contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents information related to foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments (before tax and minority):

The estimated net amount of deferred losses at March 31, 2016 that is expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months is $3 million .

The counterparties to our foreign currency contracts were considered by us to be substantial and creditworthy financial institutions that are recognized market makers at the time we entered into those contracts. We seek to control our credit exposure to these counterparties by diversifying across multiple counterparties, by setting counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings

We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to counterparties in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a counterparty. However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

Defined benefit pension cost follows:



	U.S.
	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions)	2016			2015
Service cost — benefits earned during the period	$	1		$	1
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	42			61
Expected return on plan assets	(64		)	(75		)
Amortization of net losses	27			28
Net periodic pension cost	$	6		$	15



	Non-U.S.

Service cost — benefits earned during the period	$	7		$	9
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	20			29
Expected return on plan assets	(22		)	(26		)
Amortization of net losses	7			9
Net periodic pension cost	$	12		$	21

Effective January 1, 2016, we changed the method of estimating the service and interest components of net periodic cost for pension and other postretirement benefits for plans that utilize a yield curve approach. We elected to utilize a full yield curve approach in the measurement of these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. We believe this approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. This change is expected to reduce our 2016 annual net periodic pension cost by approximately $50 million to $75 million compared to the previous method and does not affect the measurement of our plan benefit obligations. We have accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate.

We expect to contribute approximately $50 million to $75 million to our funded non-U.S. pension plans in 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we contributed $17 million to our non-U.S. plans.

The expense recognized for our contributions to defined contribution savings plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $34 million and $33 million , respectively.

We also provide certain U.S. employees and employees at certain non-U.S. subsidiaries with health care benefits or life insurance benefits upon retirement. Other postretirement benefits credit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $6 million and $4 million , respectively.

NOTE 10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

Our Board of Directors granted 0.7 million stock options, 0.2 million restricted stock units and 0.2 million performance share units during the three months ended March 31, 2016 under our stock compensation plans. The weighted average exercise price per share and weighted average fair value per share of the stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $29.90 and $11.92 , respectively. We estimated the fair value of the stock options using the following assumptions in our Black-Scholes model:

Expected term: 7.2 years

Interest rate: 1.45%

Volatility: 40.78%

Dividend yield: 0.94%

We measure the fair value of grants of restricted stock units and performance share units based primarily on the closing market price of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant, modified as appropriate to take into account the features of such grants. The weighted average fair value per share was $29.90 for restricted stock units and $30.95 for performance share units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 .

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $7 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 , unearned compensation cost related to the unvested portion of all stock-based awards was approximately $48 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the respective grants, through March 2021 .

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Environmental Matters

We have recorded liabilities totaling $52 million and $50 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, for anticipated costs related to various environmental matters, primarily the remediation of numerous waste disposal sites and certain properties sold by us. Of these amounts, $12 million was included in Other Current Liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The costs include legal and consulting fees, site studies, the design and implementation of remediation plans, post-remediation monitoring and related activities, and will be paid over several years. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may be affected by several uncertainties, primarily the ultimate cost of required remediation and the extent to which other responsible parties contribute . We have limited potential insurance coverage for future environmental claims.

Since many of the remediation activities related to environmental matters vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site and the associated costs for each vary depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, in some cases we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses. Although it is not possible to estimate with certainty the outcome of all of our environmental matters, management believes that potential losses in excess of current reserves for environmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Workers’ Compensation

We have recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling $264 million for anticipated costs related to workers’ compensation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Of these amounts, $55 million and $54 million was included in Current Liabilities as part of Compensation and Benefits at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The costs include an estimate of expected settlements on pending claims, defense costs and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. These estimates are based on our assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience, and current cost trends. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates. We periodically, and at least annually, update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the liability was discounted using a risk-free rate of return. At March 31, 2016 , we estimate that it is reasonably possible that the liability could exceed our recorded amounts by approximately $31 million .

General and Product Liability and Other Litigation

We have recorded liabilities totaling $307 million and $315 million , including related legal fees expected to be incurred, for potential product liability and other tort claims, including asbestos claims, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Of these amounts, $46 million and $45 million was included in Other Current Liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The amounts recorded were estimated based on an assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where available, recent and current trends. Based upon that assessment, at March 31, 2016 , we do not believe that estimated reasonably possible losses associated with general and product

(Unaudited)

liability claims in excess of the amounts recorded will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, the amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates.

We have recorded an indemnification asset within Accounts Receivable of $6 million and within Other Assets of $27 million for SRI's obligation to indemnify us for certain product liability claims related to products manufactured by GDTNA during the existence of the global alliance with SRI, subject to certain caps.

Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain products manufactured by us or present in certain of our facilities. Typically, these lawsuits have been brought against multiple defendants in state and Federal courts. To date, we have disposed of approximately 120,000 claims by defending and obtaining the dismissal thereof or by entering into a settlement. The sum of our accrued asbestos-related liability and gross payments to date, including legal costs, by us and our insurers totaled approximately $502 million through March 31, 2016 and $497 million through December 31, 2015 .

A summary of recent approximate asbestos claims activity follows. Because claims are often filed and disposed of by dismissal or settlement in large numbers, the amount and timing of settlements and the number of open claims during a particular period can fluctuate significantly.

(1)	Represents cash payments made during the period by us and our insurers on asbestos litigation defense and claim resolution.

We periodically, and at least annually, review our existing reserves for pending claims, including a reasonable estimate of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos claims, and estimate our receivables from probable insurance recoveries. We recorded gross liabilities for both asserted and unasserted claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling $169 million and $171 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The recorded liability represents our estimated liability over the next ten years, which represents the period over which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Due to the difficulties in making these estimates, analysis based on new data and/or a change in circumstances arising in the future could result in an increase in the recorded obligation in an amount that cannot be reasonably estimated, and that increase could be significant.

We maintain certain primary and excess insurance coverage under coverage-in-place agreements, and also have additional excess liability insurance with respect to asbestos liabilities. After consultation with our outside legal counsel and giving consideration to agreements with certain of our insurance carriers, the financial viability and legal obligations of our insurance carriers and other relevant factors, we determine an amount we expect is probable of recovery from such carriers. We record a receivable with respect to such policies when we determine that recovery is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of a particular recovery.

We recorded a receivable related to asbestos claims of $117 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . We expect that approximately 70% of asbestos claim related losses would be recoverable through insurance during the ten-year period covered by the estimated liability. Of these amounts, $12 million were included in Current Assets as part of Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The recorded receivable consists of an amount we expect to collect under coverage-in-place agreements with certain primary carriers and excess insurance carriers as well as an amount we believe is probable of recovery from certain of our other excess insurance carriers.

We believe that, at December 31, 2015, we had approximately $410 million in excess level policy limits applicable to indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under coverage-in-place agreements. We also had additional unsettled excess level policy limits potentially applicable to such costs. We also had coverage under certain primary policies for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under remaining aggregate limits pursuant to a coverage-in-place agreement, as well as coverage for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos premises claims pursuant to coverage-in-place agreements.

With respect to both asserted and unasserted claims, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material amount of cost in excess of the current reserve; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. Coverage under insurance policies is subject to varying characteristics of asbestos claims including, but not limited to, the type of claim (premise vs. product exposure), alleged

- 19 -

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

date of first exposure to our products or premises and disease alleged. Depending upon the nature of these characteristics, as well as the resolution of certain legal issues, some portion of the insurance may not be accessible by us.

Amiens Labor Claims

Approximately 800 former employees of the closed Amiens, France manufacturing facility have asserted wrongful termination or other claims totaling €112 million ( $128 million ) against Goodyear Dunlop Tires France. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims, and any additional claims that may be asserted against us, and cannot estimate the amounts, if any, that we may ultimately pay in respect of such claims.

Other Actions

We are currently a party to various claims, indirect tax assessments and legal proceedings in addition to those noted above. If management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations.

Our recorded liabilities and estimates of reasonably possible losses for the contingent liabilities described above are based on our assessment of potential liability using the information available to us at the time and, where applicable, any past experience and recent and current trends with respect to similar matters. Our contingent liabilities are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable judicial or administrative decisions could occur which we did not anticipate. Such an unfavorable decision could include monetary damages, fines or other penalties or an injunction prohibiting us from taking certain actions or selling certain products. If such an unfavorable decision were to occur, it could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations in the period in which the decision occurs, or in future periods.

Income Tax Matters

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize income tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained when challenged by the taxing authorities. We derecognize income tax benefits when based on new information we determine that it is no longer more likely than not that our position will be sustained. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or determine we need to derecognize tax benefits recorded in prior periods, our results of operations and effective tax rate in a given period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of our cash, and lead to recognition of expense to the extent the settlement amount exceeds recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction of expense to the extent the settlement amount is lower than recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, would result in a reduction in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.

While the Company applies consistent transfer pricing policies and practices globally, supports transfer prices through economic studies, seeks advance pricing agreements and joint audits to the extent possible and believes its transfer prices to be appropriate, such transfer prices, and related interpretations of tax laws, are occasionally challenged by various taxing authorities globally. We have received various tax assessments challenging our interpretations of applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions. Although we believe we have complied with applicable tax laws, have strong positions and defenses and have historically been successful in defending such claims, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected in the case we are unsuccessful in the defense of existing or future claims.

Guarantees

We have off-balance sheet financial guarantees and other commitments totaling approximately $53 million and $49 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. We issue guarantees to financial institutions or other entities on behalf of certain of our affiliates, lessors or customers. Normally there is no separate premium received by us as consideration for the issuance of guarantees . In 2015, as a result of the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, we issued a guarantee of approximately $46 million to an insurance company related to SRI's obligation to pay GDTNA's outstanding workers' compensation claims arising during the existence of the global alliance. We have concluded the probability of our performance to be remote and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for this guarantee. While there is no fixed duration of this guarantee, we expect the amount of this

- 20 -

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

guarantee to decrease over time as GDTNA pays its outstanding claims. If our performance under these guarantees is triggered by non-payment or another specified event , we would be obligated to make payment to the financial institution or the other entity, and would typically have recourse to the affiliate, lessor, customer , or SRI. Except for the workers' compensation guarantee described above, the guarantees expire at various times through 2020 . We are unable to estimate the extent to which our affiliates’, lessors’, customers’, or SRI's assets would be adequate to recover any payments made by us under the related guarantees.

NOTE 12. CAPITAL STOCK

Dividends

In the first three months of 2016, we paid cash dividends of $19 million on our common stock. On April 11, 2016 , the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $0.07 per share of common stock, or approximately $19 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on June 1, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2016 . Future quarterly dividends are subject to Board approval.

Common Stock Repurchases

On September 18, 2013 , the Board of Directors authorized $100 million for use in our common stock repurchase program. On May 27, 2014 , the Board of Directors approved an increase in that authorization to $450 million . On February 4, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to $1.1 billion . This program expires on December 31, 2018. We intend to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first quarter of 2016 , we repurchased 1,591,376 shares at an average price of $31.42 per share, or $50 million in the aggregate. Since 2013, we repurchased 16,099,094 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $28.78 per share, or $463 million in the aggregate.

In addition, we routinely repurchase shares delivered to us by employees as payment for the exercise price of stock options and the withholding taxes due upon the exercise of the stock options or the vesting or payment of stock awards. During the first quarter of 2016, we did not repurchase any shares from employees.

NOTE 15. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the $282 million outstanding principal amount of 8.75% notes due 2020 , the $900 million outstanding principal amount of 6.5% senior notes due 2021 , the $700 million outstanding principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2022 and the $1.0 billion outstanding principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2023 (collectively, the “notes”). The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:


(i)	The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Parent Company”), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;


(ii)	Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indentures related to Goodyear’s obligations under the notes;


(iii)	Non-guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis;


(iv)	Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries, and (c) record consolidating entries; and


(v)	The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent Company at the date of each balance sheet presented. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in intercompany receivables and payables related to operations, such as intercompany sales or service charges, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Intercompany transactions reported as investing or financing activities include the sale of the capital stock of various subsidiaries, loans and other capital transactions between members of the consolidated group. In 2015, the Parent Company acquired the common shares of a non-guarantor subsidiary from another non-guarantor subsidiary at a cost of $145 million . The transaction was settled by the cancellation of intercompany balances between the Parent Company and the transferring non-guarantor subsidiary. In addition, in 2015 the Parent Company capitalized approximately $90 million of intercompany receivables from a non-guarantor subsidiary with a corresponding increase in equity of the subsidiary.

Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are limited in their ability to remit funds to it by means of dividends, advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.

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

All per share amounts are diluted and refer to Goodyear net income (loss).

OVERVIEW

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tires, with one of the most recognizable brand names in the world and operations in most regions of the world. We have a broad global footprint with 49 manufacturing facilities in 22 countries, including the United States. We operate our business through three operating segments representing our regional tire businesses: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia Pacific. Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America strategic business units into one Americas strategic business unit. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. For additional information on the restatements of segment information for prior periods, refer to Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3.

On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced dissolution of its global alliance with Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. ("SRI") in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2015, by and between the Company and SRI. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has sold to SRI its 75% interest in Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America Ltd. ("GDTNA"), 25% interest in Dunlop Goodyear Tires Ltd. ("DGT") in Japan and Huntsville, Alabama test track used by GDTNA. The Company has acquired SRI's 25% interest in Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. ("GDTE") and 75% interest in Nippon Goodyear Ltd. ("NGY") in Japan.

Prior to October 1, 2015, GDTE’s assets and liabilities were included in our consolidated balance sheets and GDTE’s results of operations were included in our consolidated statements of operations, which also reflected SRI’s minority interest in GDTE. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we continue to include GDTE in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations; however, there is no minority interest impact to our results of operations related to GDTE. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2015, we accounted for NGY under the equity method as we did not have a controlling financial interest in NGY. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we have a controlling interest in NGY and, accordingly, NGY’s assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets, and NGY’s results of operations are included in our consolidated statements of operations.

Effective December 31, 2015, we concluded that we did not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan subsidiary. We deconsolidated the operations of our Venezuelan subsidiary and began reporting their results using the cost method of accounting. Our financial results for the first quarter of 2016 do not include the operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary.

In the first quarter of 2016, we experienced moderately improving economic conditions in our mature markets in the United States and Europe. In emerging markets, we saw growth in the Asia Pacific region in Japan, due to the acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY, and in China and India, and continued recessionary economic conditions and political volatility in Brazil.

We produced record segment operating income of $419 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 8% over the first quarter of 2015 (14% when excluding the $22 million impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary). Our first quarter of 2016 results reflect a 1.7% increase in tire unit shipments compared to the first quarter of 2015 (2.7% when excluding the 0.4 million unit impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary). In the first quarter of 2016, we realized approximately $47 million of cost savings, including raw material cost saving measures of approximately $39 million, which exceeded the impact of general inflation.

Results of Operations

Net sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $3,691 million , compared to $4,024 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Net sales decreased in the first quarter of 2016 due to unfavorable foreign currency translation, primarily in Americas, the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary, a decline in price and product mix, primarily in EMEA, and lower sales in other tire-related businesses, primarily related to motorcycle tire sales in Americas due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI. These declines were partially offset by higher tire unit volume, primarily in Asia Pacific, driven by the fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY in Japan.

In the first quarter of 2016 , Goodyear net income was $184 million , or $0.68 per share, compared to $224 million , or $0.82 per share, in the first quarter of 2015 . The decrease in Goodyear net income in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a one-time pre-tax gain of $155 million on the recognition of deferred royalty income resulting from the termination of a licensing agreement associated with the sale of our former Engineered Products business ("Veyance"). The licensing agreement was terminated following the acquisition of Veyance by Continental AG in January 2015. This decrease was partially offset by improved segment operating income and decreased interest expense in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.

- 31 -

Our total segment operating income for the first quarter of 2016 was $419 million , compared to $388 million in the first quarter of 2015 . The $31 million increase in segment operating income was due primarily to a decline in raw material costs of $107 million, which more than offset the impact of lower price and product mix of $30 million, and lower conversion costs of $20 million. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary of $22 million, higher selling, administrative and general expense ("SAG") of $22 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $12 million and lower income in other tire-related businesses of $5 million. Refer to "Results of Operations — Segment Information” for additional information.

At March 31, 2016 , we had $1,079 million of Cash and cash equivalents as well as $1,988 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $1,476 million and $2,676 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015 . Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $397 million from December 31, 2015 due primarily to cash used for working capital of $611 million, capital expenditures of $253 million, common stock repurchases of $50 million and dividends paid on our common stock of $19 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by net borrowings of $287 million and net income of $189 million, before non-cash depreciation and amortization charges of $174 million. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.

Outlook

As of December 31, 2015, we deconsolidated the operations of our Venezuelan subsidiary. Our Venezuelan subsidiary contributed $119 million in segment operating income in 2015. The various outlook items summarized below exclude the impact of our Venezuelan operations in 2015 in order to provide greater clarity regarding our expectations with respect to the performance of our remaining businesses in 2016.

We continue to expect that our full-year tire unit volume for 2016 will be up approximately 3% from 164.8 million tire units (excluding our Venezuelan subsidiary) in 2015, and for unabsorbed fixed overhead costs to be a benefit of approximately $50 million in 2016 compared to 2015. We also continue to expect cost savings to more than offset general inflation in 2016 and foreign currency translation to negatively affect segment operating income by approximately $45 million in 2016 compared to 2015.

Based on current raw material spot prices, for the full year of 2016, we expect our raw material costs will be approximately 6% lower than 2015, including raw material cost saving measures, and we continue to expect the benefit of lower raw material costs to more than offset declines in price and product mix. However, natural and synthetic rubber prices and other commodity prices have experienced significant volatility, and this estimate could change significantly based on fluctuations in the cost of these and other key raw materials. We are continuing to focus on price and product mix, to substitute lower cost materials where possible, to work to identify additional substitution opportunities, to reduce the amount of material required in each tire, and to pursue alternative raw materials.

Refer to “Forward-Looking Information — Safe Harbor Statement” for a discussion of our use of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

Net sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $3,691 million , decreasing $333 million , or 8.3% , from $4,024 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Goodyear net income was $184 million , or $0.68 per share, in the first quarter of 2016 , compared to $224 million , or $0.82 per share, in the first quarter of 2015 .

Net sales decreased in the first quarter of 2016 , due primarily to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $141 million, primarily in Americas, lower sales of $94 million due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary, a decline in price and product mix of $82 million, primarily in EMEA, and lower sales of $52 million in other tire-related businesses, primarily related to motorcycle tire sales in Americas due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI. These declines were partially offset by higher tire unit volume of $36 million, primarily in Asia Pacific driven by the fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY in Japan.

Worldwide tire unit sales in the first quarter of 2016 were 41.5 million units, increasing 0.7 million units, or 1.7% , from 40.8 million units in the first quarter of 2015 . Replacement tire volume increased 0.4 million units, or 1.6% . Original equipment ("OE") tire volume increased 0.3 million units, or 2.1% . Worldwide tire units were positively impacted by 0.9 million units due to the acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY in Japan. In addition, worldwide tire units were reduced by 0.4 million units due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary and 0.3 million units due to the sale of GDTNA.

Cost of goods sold (“CGS”) in the first quarter of 2016 was $2,701 million , decreasing $365 million , or 11.9% , from $3,066 million in the first quarter of 2015 . CGS decreased due to foreign currency translation of $110 million, primarily in Americas, lower raw material costs of $107 million, primarily in Americas and EMEA, lower costs of $67 million due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary, lower costs in other tire-related businesses of $47 million, primarily related to motorcycle tire sales

- 32 -

in Americas due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, and lower conversion costs of $20 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher tire volume of $28 million. CGS in the first quarter of 2016 included pension expense of $13 million, which decreased from $20 million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary.

CGS in the first quarter of 2016 included accelerated depreciation of $2 million ($2 million after-tax and minority) primarily related to our plan to close our Wolverhampton, U.K. mixing and retreading facility and to transfer the production to other manufacturing facilities in EMEA compared to $3 million ($2 million after-tax and minority) in the first quarter of 2015 primarily related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France. CGS in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 also included savings from rationalization plans of $1 million and $9 million, respectively. The savings in 2015 related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France and our exit from the farm tire business in EMEA. CGS was 73.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 76.2% in the first quarter of 2015 .

SAG in the first quarter of 2016 was $615 million , increasing $7 million , or 1.2% , from $608 million in the first quarter of 2015 . SAG increased $22 million due to wage and benefits inflation, higher incentive compensation costs, and increased advertising costs of $7 million, which were partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $19 million, primarily in Americas. SAG in the first quarter of 2016 also included pension expense of $7 million, which decreased from $15 million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to the change in estimating interest and service costs in the measurement of pension expense effective January 1, 2016. SAG in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 also included savings from rationalization plans of $8 million and $7 million, respectively. SAG was 16.7% of sales in the first quarter of 2016 , compared to 15.1% in the first quarter of 2015 .

We recorded net rationalization charges of $11 million ($10 million after-tax and minority) in the first quarter of 2016 and net rationalization charges of $16 million ($12 million after-tax and minority) in the first quarter of 2015 related to prior year plans, primarily the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France and our exit from the farm tire business in EMEA.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2016 was $91 million , decreasing $16 million , or 15.0% , from $107 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was due to lower average debt balances of $5,868 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $6,268 million in the first quarter of 2015. In addition, the average interest rate of 6.20% in the first quarter of 2016 decreased compared to 6.83% in the first quarter of 2015 .

Other (Income) Expense in the first quarter of 2016 was $6 million of expense, compared to $132 million of income in the first quarter of 2015. Other (Income) Expense in the first quarter of 2016 included royalty income of $4 million , compared to $165 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Royalty income is derived primarily from licensing arrangements related to divested businesses. Royalty income in 2015 included a one-time pre-tax gain of $155 million on the recognition of deferred income resulting from the termination of a licensing agreement associated with the sale of Veyance. The licensing agreement was terminated following the acquisition of Veyance by Continental AG in January 2015.

Other (Income) Expense in the first quarter of 2016 included net foreign currency exchange gains of $2 million compared to losses of $16 million in the first quarter of 2015 . During the first quarter of 2016, general and product liability — discontinued products included a $3 million benefit for an insurance recovery related to past costs.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 was $78 million on income before income taxes of $267 million . In the first quarter of 2015 , we recorded income tax expense of $123 million on income before income taxes of $359 million . Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by $12 million ( $11 million after minority interest) primarily related to a $7 million tax benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance in our Americas operations and $5 million of tax benefits related to other discrete tax adjustments, including the resolution of an audit in our Americas operations. Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2015 was unfavorably impacted by $4 million ($5 million after minority interest) of discrete tax adjustments, primarily related to prior tax years, resulting from an audit in EMEA. The audit adjustments also included the repayment of certain investment grants of $3 million, which are included in CGS.

Our history of losses in various foreign taxing jurisdictions represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of our net deferred tax assets. Each reporting period we assess available positive and negative evidence and estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize these existing deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2016, certain of our subsidiaries, primarily in our EMEA operations, where we maintain a valuation allowance, are now in a position of cumulative profits for the most recent three-year period. While these entities have had a long history of operating losses this recent positive evidence provides us the opportunity to apply greater significance to our forecasts in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Before we would change our judgment on the need for a full valuation allowance a sustained period of operating profitability is required. Considering the duration and magnitude of operating losses in these entities it is our judgment that we have not yet achieved profitability of a duration and magnitude sufficient to release our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We believe that if these entities earn sufficient profits for the full year 2016 and are forecasted to earn sufficient profits for 2017 and beyond, that positive evidence will exist to require the release of all, or a portion, of these valuation allowances at year end 2016. This may result in a reduction of the valuation allowance and a one-time tax benefit of up to $275 million ($275 million after minority interest).

- 33 -

Minority shareholders’ net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $5 million , compared to $12 million in 2015 . The decrease in 2016 is due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI in the fourth quarter of 2015.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment information reflects our strategic business units (“SBUs”), which are organized to meet customer requirements and global competition and are segmented on a regional basis. Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America SBUs into one Americas SBU. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. For additional information on the restatements of segment information for prior periods, refer to Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3.

Results of operations are measured based on net sales to unaffiliated customers and segment operating income. Each segment exports tires to other segments. The financial results of each segment exclude sales of tires exported to other segments, but include operating income derived from such transactions. Segment operating income is computed as follows: Net Sales less CGS (excluding asset write-off and accelerated depreciation charges) and SAG (including certain allocated corporate administrative expenses). Segment operating income also includes certain royalties and equity in earnings of most affiliates. Segment operating income does not include net rationalization charges (credits), asset sales and certain other items including pension curtailments and settlements.

Total segment operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $419 million , increasing $31 million , or 8.0% , from $388 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Total segment operating margin (segment operating income divided by segment sales) in the first quarter of 2016 was 11.4% , compared to 9.6% in the first quarter of 2015 .

Management believes that total segment operating income is useful because it represents the aggregate value of income created by our SBUs and excludes items not directly related to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes. Total segment operating income is the sum of the individual SBUs’ segment operating income. Refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 6, Business Segments, for further information and for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to Income before Income Taxes.

Americas unit sales in the first quarter of 2016 decreased 1.2 million units, or 6.0% , to 18.0 million units. Americas unit volume decreased 0.4 million units due to the impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary and 0.3 million units due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.8 million units, or 5.8%, due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary and lower U.S. replacement tire volume. OE tire volume decreased 0.4 million units, or 6.5%, primarily driven by the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI and a decline in Brazil OE tire volume. The decreases in OE tire volume were partially offset by an increase in U.S. OE tire volume. The shift in U.S. volume from replacement to OE was a result of capacity constraints due to overall demand for our premium, high value added tires.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $1,951 million , decreasing $292 million , or 13.0% , from $2,243 million in the first quarter of 2015 . The decrease in net sales was due to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary of $94 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $77 million, lower volume of $69 million, and lower sales in other tire-related businesses of $44 million, driven by $33 million in motorcycle tire sales due to the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $260 million , increasing $12 million , or 4.8% , from $248 million in the first quarter of 2015 . The increase in operating income was due primarily to lower raw material costs of $54 million. The increase in operating income was also driven by an improvement in price and product mix of $13 million due to new product portfolios and increased sales of premium products. These increases in operating income were partially offset by the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiary of $22 million, lower volume of $16 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $8 million. Operating income was also negatively impacted by lower income in other tire-related businesses of $6 million, primarily due to

decreased motorcycle tire sales as a result of the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, and $2 million of incremental start-up costs associated with our new plant being constructed in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. SAG included rationalization savings of $6 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 excluded rationalization charges of $3 million.

Europe, Middle East and Africa unit sales in the first quarter of 2016 increased 0.3 million units, or 1.7% , to 16.2 million units. OE tire volume increased 0.2 million units, or 5.1% , primarily in our consumer business. Replacement tire volume increased 0.1 million units, or 0.4% , primarily in our consumer business. The unit volume increase was driven by increased industry demand throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $1,251 million , decreasing $80 million , or 6.0% , from $1,331 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Net sales decreased due to unfavorable price and product mix of $52 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $38 million and lower sales from other-tire related businesses of $9 million. These impacts were partially offset by higher tire volume of $20 million, which includes an $11 million negative impact from the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI resulting from SRI obtaining exclusive rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires in certain countries that were previously non-exclusive under the global alliance.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $80 million , increasing $7 million , or 9.6% , from $73 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Operating income increased due primarily to a decline in raw material costs of $30 million, which was partially offset by lower price and product mix of $26 million, lower conversion costs of $19 million, driven by increased production levels, and higher volume of $3 million. These increases were partially offset by higher SAG of $10 million, driven by higher bad debt expense and inflation, and customer support programs totaling $5 million. SAG and conversion costs included savings from rationalization plans of $2 million and $1 million, respectively.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 excluded net rationalization charges of $8 million , primarily related to the closure of one of our Amiens, France manufacturing facilities, and accelerated depreciation of $2 million related to the closure of our Wolverhampton, U.K. mixing and retreading facility.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2015 excluded net rationalization and accelerated depreciation charges of $15 million and $3 million, respectively, primarily related to the closure of one of our Amiens, France manufacturing facilities and our exit from the farm tire business, charges of $4 million related to labor claims with respect to a previously closed facility in Greece, and a net loss on asset sales of $2 million.

Asia Pacific unit sales in the first quarter of 2016 increased 1.6 million units, or 28.1% , to 7.3 million units. Replacement tire volume increased 1.2 million units, or 41.4% , primarily in the consumer business, due to the fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY in Japan in conjunction with the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, which increased unit volume by 0.9 million units, and due to continued growth in China. OE tire volume increased 0.4 million units, or 14.3% , primarily in the consumer business, which reflected growth in China.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $489 million , increasing $39 million , or 8.7% , from $450 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Net sales increased by $85 million due to higher tire volume, including $41 million related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY. The increase was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $26 million and lower price and product mix of $22 million, driven primarily by the impact of lower raw material costs on pricing.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $79 million , increasing $12 million , or 17.9% , from $67 million in the first quarter of 2015 . Operating income increased due primarily to lower raw material costs of $23 million, which more than offset the effect of lower price and product mix of $17 million, and higher tire volume of $21 million. These increases were partially offset by higher SAG of $14 million, driven by the acquisition of a controlling interest in NGY.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 excluded net gains on assets sales of $1 million. Operating income in the first quarter of 2015 excluded net rationalization charges of $1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operating and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements and our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital.

At March 31, 2016 , we had $1,079 million in Cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,476 million at December 31, 2015 . For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , net cash used by operating activities was $381 million due to the seasonal use of working capital of $611 million exceeding net income. Net cash used by investing activities was $257 million, reflecting capital expenditures of $253 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $213 million, driven by net borrowings of $287 million, common stock repurchases of $50 million and common stock dividends of $19 million.

At March 31, 2016 , we had $1,988 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $2,676 million at December 31, 2015 . The table below presents unused availability under our credit facilities at those dates:



	March 31,		December 31,
(In millions)	2016		2015
First lien revolving credit facility	$	827	$	1,149
European revolving credit facility	358		598

Other foreign and domestic debt	294		294
Notes payable and overdrafts	442		418
	$	1,988	$	2,676

We have deposited our cash and cash equivalents and entered into various credit agreements and derivative contracts with financial institutions that we considered to be substantial and creditworthy at the time of such transactions. We seek to control our exposure to these financial institutions by diversifying our deposits, credit agreements and derivative contracts across multiple financial institutions, by setting deposit and counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these financial institutions on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to financial institutions in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a financial institution. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not experience losses or delays in accessing our deposits or lines of credit due to the nonperformance of a financial institution. Our inability to access our cash deposits or make draws on our lines of credit, or the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

We expect our 2016 cash flow needs to include capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion. We also expect interest expense to range between $350 million and $375 million, dividends on our common stock to be $75 million, and contributions to our funded non-U.S. pension plans to be approximately $50 million to $75 million. We expect working capital to be a use of cash of approximately $50 million in 2016. We intend to operate the business in a way that allows us to address these needs with our existing cash and available credit if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operations.

We believe that our liquidity position is adequate to fund our operating and investing needs and debt maturities in 2016 and to provide us with flexibility to respond to further changes in the business environment.

Our ability to service debt and operational requirements is also dependent, in part, on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to various other entities in our consolidated group, whether in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise. In certain countries where we operate, such as China, South Africa and Argentina, transfers of funds into or out of such countries by way of dividends, loans, advances or payments to third-party or affiliated suppliers are generally or periodically subject to certain requirements, such as obtaining approval from the foreign government and/or currency exchange board before net assets can be transferred out of the country. In addition, certain of our credit agreements and other debt instruments limit the ability of foreign subsidiaries to make distributions of cash. Thus, we would have to repay and/or amend these credit agreements and other debt instruments in order to use this cash to service our consolidated debt. Because of the inherent uncertainty of satisfactorily meeting these requirements or limitations, we do not consider the net assets of our subsidiaries, including our Chinese, South African and Argentinian subsidiaries, that are subject to such requirements or limitations to be integral to our liquidity or our ability to service our debt and operational requirements. At March 31, 2016 , approximately $567 million of net assets, including $122 million of cash and cash equivalents, were subject to such requirements. The requirements we must comply with to transfer funds out of China, South Africa and Argentina have not adversely impacted our ability to make transfers out of those countries.

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $381 million in the first three months of 2016 , compared to net cash used of $262 million in the first three months of 2015 . Operating cash flows in the first three months of 2016 were driven by the seasonal use of cash for working capital of $611 million, which was partially offset by net income of $189 million. Operating cash flows in the first three months of 2015 were driven by the seasonal use of cash for working capital of $569 million, which was partially offset by net income of $236 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $257 million in the first three months of 2016 , compared to $180 million in the first three months of 2015 . Capital expenditures were $253 million in the first three months of 2016 , compared to $204 million in the first three months of 2015 . Beyond expenditures required to sustain our facilities, capital expenditures in 2016 primarily related to the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Mexico and the expansion and modernization of manufacturing capacity in Brazil and Germany.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $213 million in the first three months of 2016 , compared to net cash used of $34 million in the first three months of 2015 . Financing activities in 2016 included net borrowings of $287 million, common stock repurchases of $50 million and dividends on our common stock of $19 million. Financing activities in 2015 included net debt repayments of $18 million and dividends on our common stock of $16 million.

Credit Sources

In aggregate, we had total credit arrangements of $8,344 million available at March 31, 2016 , of which $1,988 million were unused, compared to $8,699 million available at December 31, 2015 , of which $2,676 million were unused. At March 31, 2016 , we had long term credit arrangements totaling $7,826 million , of which $1,546 million were unused, compared to $8,232 million and $2,258 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015 . At March 31, 2016 , we had short term committed and uncommitted credit arrangements totaling $518 million , of which $442 million were unused, compared to $467 million and $418 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015 . The continued availability of the short term uncommitted arrangements is at the discretion of the relevant lender and may be terminated at any time.

Outstanding Notes

At March 31, 2016 , we had $3,306 million of outstanding notes, compared to $3,565 million at December 31, 2015 .

$2.0 Billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017

Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million. Loans under this facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which was based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory and other components of the borrowing base decline in value, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. In addition, if the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the facility exceeds the borrowing base, we are required to prepay borrowings and/or cash collateralize letters of credit sufficient to eliminate the excess. As of March 31, 2016 , our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under the facility was $618 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion.

Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019

The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 75 basis points. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the amounts outstanding under this facility were $598 million .

- 38 -

€550 Million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2020

Our amended and restated €550 million European revolving credit facility consists of (i) a €125 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (“GDTG”) and (ii) a €425 million all-borrower tranche that is available to GDTE, GDTG and Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations S.A. Up to €150 million of swingline loans and €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. Amounts drawn under the facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds sterling and EURIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in euros.

Each of our first lien revolving credit facility and our European revolving credit facility have customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our business or financial condition since December 31, 2015 under the first lien facility and December 31, 2014 under the European facility.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)

GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that provides the flexibility to designate annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than €45 million and not more than €450 million. For the period beginning October 16, 2015 to October 15, 2016, the designated maximum amount of the facility is €340 million .

The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GDTE subsidiaries. Utilization under the facility is based on eligible receivable balances.

The funding commitments under the facility will expire upon the earliest to occur of: (a) September 25, 2019, (b) the non-renewal and expiration (without substitution) of all of the back-up liquidity commitments, (c) the early termination of the facility according to its terms (generally upon an Early Amortisation Event (as defined in the facility), which includes, among other things, events similar to the events of default under our senior secured credit facilities; certain tax law changes; or certain changes to law, regulation or accounting standards), or (d) our request for early termination of the facility. The facility’s current back-up liquidity commitments will expire on October 15, 2016.

In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program that provides up to $65 million ( 85 million Australian dollars) of funding. The terms of the facility provide flexibility to designate semi-annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than 60 million Australian dollars and not more than 85 million Australian dollars. Availability under this program is based on eligible receivable balances. At March 31, 2016 , the amounts available and utilized under this program were $36 million and $21 million , respectively. At December 31, 2015, the amounts available and utilized under this program were $34 million and $19 million , respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)

Various subsidiaries sold certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs during the first three months of 2016. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At March 31, 2016 , the gross amount of receivables sold was $249 million , compared to $299 million at December 31, 2015 .

Supplier Financing

We have entered into payment processing agreements with several financial institutions. Under these agreements, the financial institution acts as our paying agent with respect to accounts payable due to our suppliers. These agreements also allow our suppliers to sell their receivables to the financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution on terms that are negotiated between them. We are not always notified when our suppliers sell receivables under these programs. Our obligations to our suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by our suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables under the programs. Agreements for such financing programs totaled up to $500 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Further Information

For a further description of the terms of our outstanding notes, first lien revolving credit facility, second lien term loan facility, European revolving credit facility and pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility, please refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2015 Form 10-K and Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 7, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in this Form 10-Q.

Covenant Compliance

Our first and second lien credit facilities and some of the indentures governing our notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, pay dividends, repurchase shares or make certain other restricted payments or investments, incur liens, sell assets, incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments to us, enter into affiliate transactions, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. Our first and second lien credit facilities and the indentures governing our notes also have customary defaults, including cross-defaults to material indebtedness of Goodyear and its subsidiaries.

We have additional financial covenants in our first and second lien credit facilities that are currently not applicable. We only become subject to these financial covenants when certain events occur. These financial covenants and related events are as follows:

•

We become subject to the financial covenant contained in our first lien revolving credit facility when the aggregate amount of our Parent Company (The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) and guarantor subsidiaries cash and cash equivalents (“Available Cash”) plus our availability under our first lien revolving credit facility is less than $200 million. If this were to occur, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense may not be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2016 , our availability under this facility of $827 million , plus our Available Cash of $248 million , totaled $1,075 million , which is in excess of $200 million.

•

We become subject to a covenant contained in our second lien credit facility upon certain asset sales. The covenant provides that, before we use cash proceeds from certain asset sales to repay any junior lien, senior unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, we must first offer to use such cash proceeds to prepay borrowings under the second lien credit facility unless our ratio of Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA (Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is equal to or less than 3.0 to 1.0.

In addition, our European revolving credit facility contains non-financial covenants similar to the non-financial covenants in our first and second lien credit facilities that are described above and a financial covenant applicable only to GDTE and its subsidiaries. This financial covenant provides that we are not permitted to allow GDTE’s ratio of Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness to Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness is determined net of the sum of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million held by GDTE and its subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents in excess of $150 million held by the Parent Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and availability under our first lien revolving credit facility if the ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense described above is not applicable and the conditions to borrowing under the first lien revolving credit facility are met. Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness also excludes loans from other consolidated Goodyear entities. This financial covenant is also included in our pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility. At March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with this financial covenant.

Our credit facilities also state that we may only incur additional debt or make restricted payments that are not otherwise expressly permitted if, after giving effect to the debt incurrence or the restricted payment, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense for the prior four fiscal quarters would exceed 2.0 to 1.0. Certain of our senior note indentures have substantially similar limitations on incurring debt and making restricted payments. Our credit facilities and indentures also permit the incurrence of additional debt through other provisions in those agreements without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test described above. We believe that these other provisions provide us with sufficient flexibility to incur additional debt necessary to meet our operating, investing and financing needs without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test.

Covenants could change based upon a refinancing or amendment of an existing facility, or additional covenants may be added in connection with the incurrence of new debt.

At March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with the currently applicable material covenants imposed by our principal credit facilities and indentures.

The terms “Available Cash,” “EBITDA,” “Consolidated Interest Expense,” “Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness,” “Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness” and “Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA” have the meanings given them in the respective credit facilities.

Potential Future Financings

In addition to our previous financing activities, we may seek to undertake additional financing actions which could include restructuring bank debt or capital markets transactions, possibly including the issuance of additional debt or equity. Given the challenges that we face and the uncertainties of the market conditions, access to the capital markets cannot be assured.

Our future liquidity requirements may make it necessary for us to incur additional debt. However, a substantial portion of our assets are already subject to liens securing our indebtedness. As a result, we are limited in our ability to pledge our remaining assets as security for additional secured indebtedness. In addition, no assurance can be given as to our ability to raise additional unsecured debt.

Dividends and Common Stock Repurchase Program

Under our primary credit facilities and some of our note indentures, we are permitted to pay dividends on and repurchase our capital stock (which constitute restricted payments) as long as no default will have occurred and be continuing, additional indebtedness can be incurred under the credit facilities or indentures following the payment, and certain financial tests are satisfied.

On September 18, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized $100 million for use in our common stock repurchase program. On May 27, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an increase in that authorization to $450 million. On February 4, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to $1.1 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2018. We intend to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first quarter of 2016 , we repurchased 1,591,376 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $31.42 per share, or $50 million in the aggregate. Since 2013, we repurchased 16,099,094 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $28.78 per share, or $463 million in the aggregate.

The restrictions imposed by our credit facilities and indentures did not affect our ability to pay the dividends on or repurchase our capital stock as described above, and are not expected to affect our ability to pay similar dividends or make similar repurchases in the future.

Asset Dispositions

The restrictions on asset sales imposed by our material indebtedness have not affected our strategy of divesting non-core businesses, and those divestitures have not affected our ability to comply with those restrictions.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION — SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Certain information in this Form 10-Q (other than historical data and information) may constitute forward-looking statements regarding events and trends that may affect our future operating results and financial position. The words “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and “project,” as well as other words or expressions of similar meaning, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, are inherently uncertain, are subject to risks and should be viewed with caution. Actual results and experience may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including:


•	if we do not successfully implement our strategic initiatives, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected;


•	we face significant global competition and our market share could decline;


•	deteriorating economic conditions in any of our major markets, or an inability to access capital markets or third-party financing when necessary, may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity;


•	our international operations have certain risks that may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity;


•	we have foreign currency translation and transaction risks that may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity;


•	if we experience a labor strike, work stoppage or other similar event our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected;


•	our long term ability to meet our obligations, to repay maturing indebtedness or to implement strategic initiatives may be dependent on our ability to access capital markets in the future and to improve our operating results;


•	financial difficulties, work stoppages, supply disruptions or economic conditions affecting our major OE customers, dealers or suppliers could harm our business;


•	our capital expenditures may not be adequate to maintain our competitive position and may not be implemented in a timely or cost-effective manner;


•	raw material and energy costs may materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition;


•	we have a substantial amount of debt, which could restrict our growth, place us at a competitive disadvantage or otherwise materially adversely affect our financial health;


•	any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of our debt instruments, or a material reduction in the borrowing base under our revolving credit facility, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations;


•	our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly;


•	we have substantial fixed costs and, as a result, our operating income fluctuates disproportionately with changes in our net sales;


•	we may incur significant costs in connection with our contingent liabilities and tax matters;


•	our reserves for contingent liabilities and our recorded insurance assets are subject to various uncertainties, the outcome of which may result in our actual costs being significantly higher than the amounts recorded;


•	we are subject to extensive government regulations that may materially adversely affect our operating results;


•	we may be adversely affected by any disruption in, or failure of, our information technology systems due to computer viruses, unauthorized access, cyber attack, natural disasters or other similar disruptions;


•	if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business could be materially adversely affected; and


•	we may be impacted by economic and supply disruptions associated with events beyond our control, such as war, acts of terror, political unrest, public health concerns, labor disputes or natural disasters.

It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. We will not revise or update any forward-looking statement or disclose any facts, events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Commodity Price Risk

The raw material costs to which our operations are principally exposed include the cost of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, fabrics, steel cord and other petrochemical-based commodities. Approximately two-thirds of our raw materials are oil-based derivatives, the cost of which may be affected by fluctuations in the price of oil. We currently do not hedge commodity prices. We do, however, use various strategies to partially offset cost increases for raw materials, including centralizing purchases of raw materials through our global procurement organization in an effort to leverage our purchasing power, expanding our capabilities to substitute lower cost raw materials and reducing the amount of material required in each tire.

Interest Rate Risk

We continuously monitor our fixed and floating rate debt mix. Within defined limitations, we manage the mix using refinancing. At March 31, 2016 , 40% of our debt was at variable interest rates averaging 5.45% .

The following table presents information about long term fixed rate debt, excluding capital leases, at March 31, 2016 :



(In millions)
Carrying amount — liability	3,550
Fair value — liability	3,742
Pro forma fair value — liability	3,826

The pro forma information assumes a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates at March 31, 2016 , and reflects the estimated fair value of fixed rate debt outstanding at that date under that assumption. The sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates was determined using current market pricing models.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

The following table presents foreign currency contract information at March 31, 2016 :



(In millions)
Fair value — asset (liability)	$	(31	)
Pro forma decrease in fair value	(119		)
Contract maturities	4/16-3/17

The pro forma decrease in fair value assumes a 10% adverse change in underlying foreign exchange rates at March 31 , 2016, and reflects the estimated change in the fair value of contracts outstanding at that date under that assumption. The sensitivity of our foreign currency positions to changes in exchange rates was determined using current market pricing models.

Fair values are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016 as follows:



(In millions)
Accounts receivable	$	5
Other Current Liabilities	(36		)

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” which, consistent with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we define to mean controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in dollars in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (y) the aggregate Credit Exposures exceeding the Borrowing Base Availability then in effect. Each Loan shall be part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 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. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

(b) Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make, convert or continue such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Commitment, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 30 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Commitment Termination Date.

(e) On the Restatement Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and immediately following the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make Loans to the Borrower in an amount for each Restatement Date Borrowing equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Restatement Date Borrowing. The parties hereto hereby agree that no amount shall be payable under Section 2.13 in respect of any Loan solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this paragraph (e).

SECTION 2.02. Requests for Borrowing. To request a Borrowing other than a Restatement Date Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or email of scanned electronic format of a Borrowing Request (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing; provided that if at any time an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars shall be made in an amount at least equal to the applicable minimum borrowing amount, a notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of such LC Disbursement shall be deemed to have been timely given as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) unless the Borrower shall have given notice to the contrary to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date on which the Borrower

shall have been notified of such LC Disbursement. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or email of scanned electronic format to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(1) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

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

(3) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

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

(5) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the 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.

SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance (or the amendment, renewal or extension) of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, Canadian 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 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 the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. On the Restatement 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 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 2.03.

(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 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 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 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 the 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 Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposures shall not exceed $800,000,000, (iii) the aggregate Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Borrowing Base Availability then in effect 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 or such greater amount as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall have agreed upon. Each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on such representation and warranty. The Administrative Agent agrees, at the request of any Issuing Bank, to provide information to such Issuing Bank as to the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures, the LC Exposures, the Total Commitment and the Borrowing Base Availability.

(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 Commitment Termination 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 Commitment Termination Date.

(d) Participations. Effective with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Restatement 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 Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Disbursement required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason (or if such LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment was made in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the LC Exchange Rate in effect on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date). 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 Commitment or the Total Commitment 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 Commitments.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the 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., New York City time, on the second Business Day following the date on which the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement (or, in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in a currency other than dollars, on the third Business Day following such date if the Borrower shall not have received notice of such LC Disbursement until after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date); provided that, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in dollars and is at least equal to the applicable minimum borrowing amount, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent to the contrary not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date on which the Borrower shall have been notified of such LC Disbursement, the Borrower will be deemed to have requested in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing on such Business

Day in an equivalent amount and, to the extent the Borrower satisfies the condition precedent to such ABR Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02(b), the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged with the proceeds of the requested ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due and the Borrower is not entitled to make a Borrowing in the amount of such payment, (A) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent of the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, and each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the date such notice is received, its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that 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 a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall constitute a Loan or relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the reimbursement by the Borrower of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in Canadian Dollars, Euros 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 dollars, the 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 dollars each LC Disbursement made in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, in an amount equal to the Dollar 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. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply

with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any claim or defense against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including the underlying transaction between the Borrower or any 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 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, the 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 the Borrower to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrower or any Lender that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, acting in good faith, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the 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 the 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 2.03.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the 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 Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC

Disbursement denominated in dollars, and at all times following the conversion to dollars of an LC Disbursement made in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans, and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, at all times prior to its conversion to dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, a rate per annum reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to Eurodollar Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.10(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of the 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the earlier of (i) the third Business Day after the Borrower 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 all the Commitments terminated, the Borrower shall deposit in an account or accounts with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed LC Disbursements and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon. Amounts payable under the preceding sentence in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be payable in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, except that LC Disbursements in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling in respect of which the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in dollars as provided in paragraph (e) above, and interest accrued thereon, shall be payable in dollars. 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 the 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 Borrower 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 the Borrower) and at the Borrower’s 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 Borrower 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 Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral under this paragraph, then (1) if the maturity of the Loans has not been accelerated and the LC Exposure shall be reduced to an amount below the amount so deposited, the Administrative Agent will return to the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 the 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 Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the

time or becomes thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling (other than amounts in respect of which the Borrower has 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 Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar 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 dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such Loan by 12:30 p.m., New York City 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 Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.03(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, on the Restatement Date, each Lender shall fund its Restatement Date Borrowings by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by 12:30 p.m., New York City time, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all the Restatement Date Borrowings over the aggregate amount of such Lender’s outstanding loans under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement Date, and the Administrative Agent shall remit to each Lender that was a Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement on such date, from the funds so received, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount of such Lender’s outstanding loans under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement Date over such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all the Restatement Date Borrowings.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the 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 the 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 the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. 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 the Borrower under this paragraph will be subject to any break-funding payment under Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The 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 an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or email of scanned electronic format (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or email of scanned electronic format to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(1) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election 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 (3) and (4) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(2) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(3) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(4) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, 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 Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election 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 Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06. Reductions of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all the Commitments and each LC Commitment shall be terminated on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time reduce or terminate the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments (other than the termination of all the Commitments) shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the aggregate Credit Exposures would exceed the Total Commitment.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of all the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or financings, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay on the Commitment Termination Date to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the 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 Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the 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 the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prevent the 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 made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the 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 hereto. 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 2.08. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall in the event and on each occasion that (i) the aggregate Credit Exposures exceed the Total Commitment or (ii) the aggregate Credit Exposures exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, not later than the next Business Day, prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and in the event that after such prepayment of Borrowings any such excess shall remain, the Borrower

shall deposit cash in an amount equal to such excess as collateral for the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit; provided that in the case of any such excess that results from any determination under Section 1.03 of the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling (i) no prepayment or redesignation shall be required until the Business Day next succeeding the day on which the Borrower shall have received notice of such determination under Section 1.03 from the Administrative Agent, and (ii) any such prepayment required in respect of any excess of the aggregate Credit Exposures over the Borrowing Base then in effect may, if such excess is in an amount less than $10,000,000, be deferred until the last day of the nearest maturing Interest Period(s) then in effect with respect to Loan(s) required to be so repaid except to the extent of any excess of the Credit Exposures over the Total Commitment. 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 Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the exclusive right of withdrawal. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investment shall be in Temporary Cash Investments and shall be made in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (or, at any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be made at the direction of the Borrower) and at the Borrower’s 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 Borrower 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 Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower has provided cash collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit hereunder, then, so long as no Event of Default shall exist, such cash collateral shall be released to the Borrower if so requested by the Borrower at any time if and to the extent that, after giving effect to such release, the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures would not exceed the Total Commitment and the aggregate Credit Exposures would not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone or email of scanned electronic format (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to make any prepayment hereunder by reason of Section 2.08(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 all the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in

accordance with Section 2.06(c). 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 2.08(b)) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.01. 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 2.10.

SECTION 2.09. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, accruing at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment is terminated. 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).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Borrowings 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 Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment is terminated 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 the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank in the Issuing Bank Agreement of such Issuing Bank, on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date each LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank is terminated 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 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 Date; provided that all such accrued fees shall be payable in respect of LC Exposures on the date on which all the Commitments are terminated and any such fees accruing in respect of LC Exposures after the date on which all the Commitments are terminated shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Banks pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation and fronting 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).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower 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 2.10. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the 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 rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and shall be payable for each Loan upon the termination of all the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate 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 Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or email as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12. 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 (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, or on the London 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) Indemnified 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 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 Borrower 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 Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof, unless such amount is being contested by the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert any Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest

which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof, unless such amount is being contested by the Borrower in good faith.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the 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 the 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 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 the Borrower shall pay or cause such Credit Party to pay such increased amount), (ii) the Borrower or such other Credit Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such other Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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 or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or the applicable Issuing Bank or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) In addition, the Borrower 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 2.14(a) (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative

Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply 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 2.14(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 the Borrower or any other Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time such Foreign Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the Borrower 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 2.14(g)) or the applicable IRS Form W-8 a Foreign Lender is required to deliver to the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(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 it previously delivered in accordance with this Section 2.14(f) or Section 2.14(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the 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 paragraph (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 Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except as required or permitted under Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.16, 2.18 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 or the LC Disbursements, 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, as applicable). 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 dollar amount.

(b) The 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 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. Any amounts received after such time on any

date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account specified by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Borrower, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.16, 2.18 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 dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

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

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements 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 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. If any participations are purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence and all or any portion of the payments giving rise thereto are 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 the 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower 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 Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the 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 the 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 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 the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and 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 2.03(d) or (e), 2.04(b), 2.14(d), 2.15(e), 9.03(c) or any other provision requiring payment by such Lender for the account of the Administrative Agent 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 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 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, 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 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower 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 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (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) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders (or a majority in interest of all the affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower 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 (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (chosen by the Borrower) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, 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 and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Borrower, as the case may be, (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, 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 the Borrower, 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 the Borrower, if requested to do so by any Issuing Bank, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the payment of any compensation) to identify an assignee willing to purchase and assume the interests, rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and to require such Lender to assign and delegate all such interests, rights and obligations to such assignee in accordance with the preceding sentence.

SECTION 2.17. 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:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b) the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or any other group of

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;

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion of such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure so reallocated does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(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 Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above and other than any portion thereof attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(j) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate the Excess Amount for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(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 2.09(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; 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 the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such

Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure or portion thereof shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) 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 Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it shall be 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 Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If 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 Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or the Lender controlled by such Lender Parent, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. If an 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 Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

If the Administrative Agent, the Borrower 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 LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and, on the date of such readjustment, such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans and participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Subject to Section 9.21, 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 2.18. Extension Requests. (a) The Borrower 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 2.18, 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 the 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) the 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, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit 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, subject to reallocation of such participation exposure to the Extending Lenders upon the occurrence

of the original Commitment Termination Date, and (ii) the Availability Period and the Commitment Termination Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit, may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank.

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that:

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

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Credit Party are within such Credit Party’s powers and have been duly authorized. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is or is to be a party constitutes or, when executed and delivered by such Credit Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Credit Party, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. (a) Except to the extent that no Material Adverse Change would be materially likely to result, the Transactions (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as are required to perfect Liens created under the Security Documents and such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) do not and will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (iii) do not and will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their assets, and (iv) do not and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, except Liens created under the Credit Documents.

(b) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2015, there has been no event or condition that constitutes or would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, it being agreed that a reduction in any rating relating to the Borrower issued by any rating agency shall not, in and of itself, be an event or condition that constitutes or would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change (but that events or conditions underlying or resulting from any such reduction may constitute or be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change).

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

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

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

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

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

(b) Except as would not be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, (i) the Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and all other applicable laws which require registration and no event has occurred which is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such registered status; (ii) all material obligations of each Credit Party (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion; (iii) none of the Canadian Pension Plans as of the Restatement Date is a Defined Benefit CPP except as disclosed on Schedule 3.08(b); (iv) to the knowledge of the Credit Parties there have been no improper withdrawals of the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans; (v) there are no outstanding material disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans; (vi) each of the Canadian Pension Plans is being funded in accordance with the actuarial valuation reports last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and which are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles; and (vii) there has been no termination in whole or in part of any Defined Benefit CPP.

SECTION 3.09. Disclosure. None of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Borrower for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, or the reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information referred to in Section 3.04 or delivered after the date hereof by or on behalf of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 (taken together with all other information so furnished and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contained, in each case as of the date thereof, any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state, in each case as of the date thereof, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information or other forward looking information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.10. Security Interests. (a) Each of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Reaffirmation Agreement and the Canadian Security Agreements is or, when executed and delivered, will be, effective to create or continue in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and

enforceable security interest in the Collateral, to the extent contemplated by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Reaffirmation Agreement or the Canadian Security Agreements, as the case may be, and (i) when the Collateral constituting certificated securities (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) was or is delivered to the Collateral Agent thereunder, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement created or will create, to the extent contemplated by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, a perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Grantors in such certificated securities to the extent perfection is governed by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, subject to no other Lien other than Liens permitted under Section 6.06 that take priority over security interests in certificated securities perfected by the possession of such securities under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form were or are filed, and any other applicable registrations were or are made, in the offices specified in the Restatement Date Perfection Certificate, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Reaffirmation Agreement and the Canadian Security Agreements created or will create or continue a perfected security interest (or hypothec, as applicable) in all right, title and interest of the Grantors in the remaining Collateral to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and making such other applicable filings and registrations in such jurisdictions, subject to no other Lien other than Liens permitted under Section 6.06. The exclusion of the Consent Assets (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) from the Collateral does not materially reduce the aggregate value of the Collateral.

(b) Each Mortgage creates or, upon execution and delivery by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties subject thereto and the proceeds thereof, and the Mortgages create or, when the Mortgages have been filed or registered in the counties specified in Schedule 3.10(b), will create perfected Liens on all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior in right to Liens in favor of any other Person (other than Liens or other encumbrances for which exceptions are taken in the policies of title insurance delivered in respect of the Mortgaged Properties on or prior to the Restatement Date and Liens permitted under Section 6.06).

(c) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or predecessor thereto) and the intellectual property security agreements currently on file or to be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Canadian Security Agreements (or predecessor thereto) currently on file or to be filed with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, create or upon the execution, delivery and filing thereof in the applicable office will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected Lien on all right, title and interest of the Grantors in the Material Intellectual Property in which a security interest may be perfected by such recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as the case may be, in each case (i) prior and superior in right to any other Person and (ii) subject to no other Lien other than, in the case of (i) and (ii), Liens permitted under

Section 6.06 (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as the case may be, may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered trademarks and trademark applications acquired by the Grantors after the Restatement Date). As of the Restatement Date, the Disclosure Letter sets forth all the Material Intellectual Property.

(d) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the related aircraft security agreements and other applicable documents currently on file or to be filed with the Federal Aviation Administration create, or upon the execution, delivery and filing thereof with the Federal Aviation Administration will create, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected Lien on all right, title and interest of the Grantors in the Aircraft Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by such recordation with the Federal Aviation Administration, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject to no other Lien other than Liens permitted under Section 6.06.

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.

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 the Borrower 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 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 the Borrower 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 the Borrower or a Lender or Issuing Bank, and the Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agents.

The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely upon any statement made to them orally or by telephone and believed by them to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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 the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the Borrower’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required from the Borrower 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 resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the Borrower’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 by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

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

128

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (a) each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent is not acting as an agent of the Borrower and that the Borrower will not be responsible for acts or failures to act on the part of the Administrative Agent and (b) none of the Arrangers, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents, Senior Managing Agents or Managing Agents shall, in its capacity as such, have any responsibilities, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Borrower, to any Lender or to any other Person under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

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

In this respect, (i) the Custodian shall keep a record indicating the names and addresses of, and the pro rata portion of the obligations and indebtedness secured by any pledge of any such debenture and owing to each Lender and Issuing Bank and (ii) each Lender and Issuing Bank will be entitled to the benefits of any charged property covered by any hypothec and will participate in the proceeds of realization of any such charged property, the whole in accordance with the terms hereof.

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

130

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 the 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 issuance 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.

135

obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and Section 2.16, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower 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) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is 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) each Principal Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of any Principal Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Federal Reserve Bank.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 or, if smaller, the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s applicable Commitment unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, provided (i) that no such consent of the Borrower 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;

136

(C) the parties to each assignment shall, except as contemplated by Section 2.16, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03).

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, 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.

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: (A) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof that have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption; (B) except as set forth in clause (A) 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; (C) each of the assignee and the assignor represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (D) 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; (E) 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; (F) 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; (G) such assignee agrees that it will not book any Loan or hold any participation in any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement at an Austrian branch or through an Austrian Affiliate and will comply with Section 9.18 of this Agreement; and (H) 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.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or

138

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); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations under Sections 2.14(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(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 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent shall specifically refer to this exception.

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

139

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 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.

who have been informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority (including the NAIC) with jurisdiction over it, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process ( provided that it shall, to the extent permitted by law and regulation, give the Borrower prompt notice after obtaining knowledge of any such subpoena or similar legal process so that the Borrower may at its own expense seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) to the extent necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any credit insurance provider in connection with any credit insurance, or prospective credit insurance, relating to the Borrower and any of its obligations or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement that is not known by the recipient to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or (iii) was available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement from a source other than the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement that is not known by the recipient to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. For the purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from the Borrower or Persons acting on its behalf relating to the Borrower or its business, other than, after the earlier of (A) the date that is four Business Days after the Restatement Date or (B) the date on which the Borrower files a Form 8-K with the SEC with respect to this Agreement, information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers of credit facilities to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “ Charges ”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “ Maximum Rate ”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Alternate Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

143

SECTION 9.14. Security Documents . Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, or ratifies the execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent of, the Reaffirmation Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement and each other Security Document and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to carry out the provisions thereof and exercise the authority conferred upon it therein. Each Lender, by executing and delivering this Agreement, acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Reaffirmation Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and approves and agrees to be bound by and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Reaffirmation Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other Security Document insofar as they relate to or require performance by the Lenders, specifically including (i) the provisions of Article VII of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (governing the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents and the distribution of the proceeds realized from such exercise), (iii) the provisions of Articles IX and X of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent thereunder and providing for the indemnification and the reimbursement of expenses of the Collateral Agent thereunder by the Lenders), and (iv) the provisions of Section 12.13 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (providing for releases of Guarantees of and Collateral securing the Obligations). Each party hereto further agrees that the foregoing provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall apply to each other Security Document. In the event that the Borrower shall incur Indebtedness to refinance or replace Indebtedness under the Second Lien Agreement in compliance with Sections 6.01 and 6.06, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement on substantially the same terms as those of the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (as in effect at the time of such refinancing or replacement) with the holders of such Indebtedness or their representative. Without limiting any other authority conferred upon the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent is authorized to release from the Lien of the Security Documents ancillary structures on Mortgaged Properties that the Borrower advises are not of material value and not critical to the activities conducted on such Mortgaged Properties if such releases will avoid the need to obtain flood insurance that would otherwise be required under applicable law, including Regulation H of the Board.

SECTION 9.15. Additional Financial Covenants. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, in the event that any maintenance financial covenant other than the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.09 is included in the Second Lien Agreement or any SSLI Documentation (as defined in Schedule 1.01C), such covenant will be deemed to be added to Article VI of this Agreement automatically, without the need for any further action whatsoever.

SECTION 9.16. Effect of Restatement . This Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement from and after the Restatement Date with respect to the

144

transactions hereunder and with respect to the loans and letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Credit Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as in effect prior to the Restatement Date, (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (c) the liens, security interests and pledges in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations and (d) all references in the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.17. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.18. 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 (this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any notices or other written references to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each, a “ Stamp Duty Sensitive Document” ) to or from Austria by email which do not contain the signature of any party (whether manuscript or electronic, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the name of an individual or other entity) and (ii) not send fax or scanned copies of a signed Stamp Duty Sensitive Document to or from Austria.

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

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

(2) 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

145

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 Sensitive Document before an Austrian court or authority, unless such simple copy does not accurately reflect the content of the original document; or

(3) 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:

(1) as a result of a party to this Agreement (i) breaching its obligations under paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, or (ii) 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

(2) in circumstances other than those described in clause (1) of this paragraph (c), the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of all such stamp duties.

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

146

SECTION 9.19. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, 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, the Borrower, the 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, the Issuing Banks 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, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 9.20. Non-Public Information. Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including, to the extent such laws are applicable, Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including, to the extent such laws are applicable, Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

SECTION 9.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

147

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(1) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(2) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(3) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

“ Bail-In Action ” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable EEA Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of such EEA Financial Institution.

“ Bail-In Legislation ” means, with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

“ Write-Down and Conversion Powers ” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

Amended and Restated

First Lien Credit Agreement

Senior Subordinated-Lien Indebtedness

•

All Senior Subordinated-Lien Indebtedness and the related Liens shall satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition of Senior Subordinated-Lien Indebtedness.

•

The documentation establishing or evidencing any Senior Subordinated-Lien Indebtedness (“ SSLI Documentation ”) shall contain no maintenance financial covenants that are not contained in this Agreement, and the financial levels or ratios required to be maintained by any such covenants shall be no more restrictive than those required to be maintained by corresponding covenants of this Agreement (it being understood that additional maintenance financial covenants may be included in any SSLI Documentation and, if they are, they shall automatically be included in this Agreement).

•

The SSLI Documentation shall permit (specifically, and not through a basket that could be exhausted by other financings) the refinancing of all Indebtedness under this Agreement, the Second Lien Agreement and the European Facilities Agreement (or any refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereto) with new Indebtedness having a maturity no sooner than, a weighted average life no shorter than, and an aggregate principal amount or accreted value no greater than the fully drawn amount (plus fees and expenses, including any premium and defeasance costs of refinancing) of the refinanced indebtedness or commitments thereunder and secured on the same basis as the Indebtedness refinanced.

•

The SSLI Documentation shall not restrict (except for restrictions that a Financial Officer of the Borrower shall have represented in a certificate to the Administrative Agent (which shall be deemed to be a Credit Document) will not materially interfere with the Borrower’s ability to effect) the securing of Indebtedness under this Agreement, the Second Lien Agreement or the European Facilities Agreement or any refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof or the cash collateralization of any letter of credit exposure thereunder (but may require that if Indebtedness under this Agreement, the Second Lien Agreement or the European Facilities Agreement or related refinancing Indebtedness is secured by assets not securing the Indebtedness under this Agreement, the Second Lien Agreement or the European Facilities Agreement on the Restatement Date, a junior lien on such assets, subordinated under the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, (or in the case of any lien granted by any Grantor to secure indebtedness under the European Facility Agreement, a ratable or junior lien on such assets) must be granted to secure the Senior Subordinated-Lien Indebtedness).

Guarantees

SECTION 2.01. Guarantees . Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any other Credit Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar formalities.

SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment . Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Company or any other Person.

SECTION 2.03. No Limitations . (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 12.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Credit Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Credit Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Credit Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company or any other Credit Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or any other Credit Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company or any other Credit Party, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Company or any other Credit Party, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement . Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Credit Party or otherwise.

SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation . In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company or any other Credit Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Company or any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate to the Obligations of the Company or such Credit Party on the terms set forth in Article XI.

SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s and each other Credit Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(a) The Grantors shall maintain, subject to the control of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Account Control Agreements, a system of lockboxes and related Deposit Accounts (the “ Lockbox System ”). Each Grantor agrees that it shall have no Deposit Accounts other than (A) Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System, (B) Excluded Operating Accounts and (C) Local Collection Accounts. Each Grantor further agrees (i) to cause at all times to be in effect with respect to each Deposit Account Institution at which any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Operating Account or a Local Collection Account) is maintained an Account Control Agreement with respect to each such Deposit Account, (ii) to notify and direct promptly each Account Debtor and every other Person obligated to make payments on Accounts or in respect of any Inventory to make all such payments directly to one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes, (iii) to use all reasonable efforts to cause each such Account Debtor

and other Person to make all payments with respect to Accounts and Inventory directly to one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes, (iv) promptly to deposit all payments received by it on account of Accounts and Inventory, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes in the form in which received (but with any endorsements of such Grantor necessary for deposit or collection), (v) to maintain at all times a Collateral Proceeds Account in the United States, a U.S. dollar Collateral Proceeds Account in Canada and a Canadian dollar Collateral Proceeds Account in Canada, in each case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (vi) to cause all funds on deposit in Local Collection Accounts to be remitted periodically, but in no event less frequently than weekly, to a Deposit Account in the Lockbox System which is subject to an Account Control Agreement, and (vii) to maintain in effect agreements with the applicable Deposit Account Institutions under which amounts on deposit in each Deposit Account (other than Excluded Operating Accounts and Local Collection Accounts) located in the United States and in Canada will not less often than weekly be paid to the Collateral Agent for deposit in same day funds in the Collateral Proceeds Account located in the United States or in the Collateral Proceeds Account in Canada; provided , that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantors shall be permitted to retain in the Deposit Accounts (including Local Collection Accounts, but excluding (I) Excluded Operating Accounts and (II) each Collateral Proceeds Account) which are subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, an amount, in the aggregate for all such Deposit Accounts, not to exceed $10,000,000, which amount is to be calculated following the sweep of any such Deposit Account on each date for which the standing instructions to sweep such Deposit Account are applicable. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and no less frequently than each Business Day) remit any funds on deposit in each Collateral Proceeds Account to one or more accounts of the Company that have been designated by the Company. Effective upon notice to the Company after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Collateral Proceeds Account and each Deposit Account (other than Excluded Operating Accounts and Local Collection Accounts) will, without further action on the part of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent, convert into a closed lockbox account under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent in which all funds are held subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall, in a manner adverse to the Secured Parties, change the general instructions given to Account Debtors in respect of payments to be deposited in the Lockbox System. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to deliver a Control Notice under each Account Control Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement terminating such Account Control Agreement or the right of such Grantor to make withdrawals from any Deposit Account in the Lockbox System unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, after giving effect to any withdrawal, would occur.

SECTION 5.08. Insurance . Each Grantor shall cause the Collateral Agent to be named as loss payee on all property insurance maintained in respect of property subject to the Mortgages.

SECTION 5.09. Securities Accounts . If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee in an account with a securities intermediary, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, cause such securities intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements without further consent of any Grantor, such nominee, or any other Person (each such agreement, a “Securities Account Control Agreement”). The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer or securities intermediary unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

ARTICLE VI

Other Pledges, Mortgages and Security Interests

SECTION 6.01. Other Security Documents . In addition to the security interests created under Articles IV and V, the parties acknowledge that:

(a) The applicable Grantors and the Collateral Agent are parties to the Foreign Pledge Agreements listed in Schedule II under which such Grantors have pledged (and the applicable Grantors may in the future enter into additional Foreign Pledge Agreements under which such Grantors may pledge) Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries owned by them on a senior basis to secure the Obligations.

(b) The Grantors and the Collateral Agent are parties to the Mortgages as listed in Schedule III, under which they have mortgaged the real properties and interests in the Mortgaged Properties to secure the Obligations.

(c) Certain Grantors that are organized under the laws of Canada or one or more provinces thereof are entering into the Canadian Security Agreements, under which they are creating security interests in certain Collateral owned by them to secure the Obligations.

SECTION 6.02. Other Security Documents Subject to This Agreement . (a) The parties hereto and to the Other Security Documents agree that they will observe and be bound by, and that the Other Security Documents will in all respects be subject to, the following provisions: (i) to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5.01(c) (limiting the amount of the obligations secured by the Indenture Properties owned by the Company); (ii) the provisions of Sections 7.02 and 7.03 (governing the exercise of remedies under the Other Security Documents and the distribution of the proceeds

realized from the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents); (iii) the provisions of Articles IX and X (relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent); and (iv) the provisions of Section 12.13 (providing for releases of Guarantees of and Collateral securing the Obligations).

(b) Each of the Mortgages (other than any Mortgage that sets forth in full the provisions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) above) contains or, with respect to any future mortgage, shall contain a provision substantially to the effect set forth below (in the language of such Mortgage) and satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and its counsel:

“THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLEDGES, SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER LIENS AND CHARGES CREATED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 8, 2005, AS AMENDED, AMONG THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY, CERTAIN OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS COLLATERAL AGENT, AND ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH FIRST LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED FOR ALL PURPOSES TO HAVE BEEN AMENDED TO CONFORM IN ALL RESPECTS TO SUCH PROVISIONS.”

ARTICLE VII

Remedies

SECTION 7.01. Remedies Upon Default . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, (a) the Collateral Agent may demand that each Grantor deliver each item of Collateral owned or held by it to the Collateral Agent, and each Grantor agrees so to deliver all such Collateral, and (b) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times with respect to any Collateral: (i) with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause its security interest in such Collateral to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to grant any license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, with respect to any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (ii) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent

shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall (to the extent permitted by law) hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

In the case of any Collateral that constitutes Article 9 Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ prior written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor (to the extent

permitted by law). For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase any Collateral or portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

SECTION 7.02. Exercise of Remedies under Other Security Documents . The Collateral Agent shall also have the right to exercise remedies provided for in each Other Security Document upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

SECTION 7.03. Application of Proceeds . (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of the collection or sale of any Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise in connection with any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document at the direction or for the benefit of holders of the Obligations;

SECOND, to the payment of all such Obligations as shall be owed to the Administrative Agent (in such capacity) and all such Obligations for fees, indemnification or the reimbursement of expenses as shall be owed to any Issuing Bank;

THIRD, to the payment in full of the other Obligations (other than Miscellaneous Obligations) secured by such Collateral, ratably in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations on the date of such application;

FOURTH, to the payment in full of any Miscellaneous Obligations secured by such Collateral, ratably in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations on the date of such application;

FIFTH, to the “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement for application as provided therein to satisfy obligations secured by Liens on the Collateral created thereunder or under the “Other Security Documents” (as defined therein) that are junior to the Liens created hereunder and under the Other Security Documents;

SIXTH, if the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall no longer be in effect or if the Collateral Agent shall be advised by the “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that there are no persons entitled under the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to receive such proceeds or cash, to the Junior Collateral Agents (as such term is defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) for application as provided in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement; and

SEVENTH, if there shall be no outstanding “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, or if the Collateral Agent shall be advised by each Junior Collateral Agent (as such term is defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) that there are no persons entitled under the documents governing “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, to receive such proceeds or cash, to the applicable Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause THIRD above, any Article 9 Collateral consisting of cash deposited to collateralize Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement will be applied first against such reimbursement obligations.

SECTION 7.04. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property . Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Other Security Documents at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, to the extent and only

to the extent such license would not violate or result in a default under any license or other agreement, whether express or implied, between the Grantor and any Person other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary. The rights of the Collateral Agent under such license may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of any Event of Default.

SECTION 7.05. Securities Act . In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “ Federal Securities Laws ”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

SECTION 7.06. Registration . Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action

and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral under applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent’s legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular relating to the offering for sale of any Pledged Collateral, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such jurisdictions as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section. Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 8.01. Indemnity and Subrogation . In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Grantors and Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 8.03), the Company agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Grantor or one of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

SECTION 8.02. Contribution and Subrogation . Each Guarantor and Grantor, other than the Company, that has guaranteed, or granted Liens to secure, the Obligations (a “ Contributing Party ”) agrees (subject to Section 8.03) that, in the event (a) a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor (other than the Company) hereunder in respect of any Obligations or (b) assets of any other Grantor (other than the Company) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligations, and such other Guarantor or Grantor (the “ Claiming Party ”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company as provided in Section 8.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and Grantors, other than the Company. For the purposes of the previous sentence, the net worth of each Guarantor and Grantor shall be determined on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor becoming a Guarantor or Grantor after the date hereof, the date on which such Guarantor or Grantor shall have become a Guarantor or Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 8.01 to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 8.03. Subordination . (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and no Guarantor or Grantor shall seek to enforce any of such rights until the Obligations have been paid in full. No failure on the part of the Company or any other Guarantor or Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 8.01 and 8.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Duties of Collateral Agent

SECTION 9.01. Actions Under This Agreement . (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any action under this Agreement or any Other Security Document except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and therein. Subject to the provisions of Article X of this Agreement and to the succeeding provisions of this Section, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions, and only such actions, under this Agreement and the Other Security Documents with respect to any Collateral as are requested by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Majority Lenders, under the Credit Agreement and as are not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, any Other Security Document or the Credit Agreement, as well as ministerial and/or administrative actions required or permitted by this Agreement and the Other Security Documents.

By their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Security Documents, the holders of the Miscellaneous Obligations will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to the provisions of the preceding sentence, and to have acknowledged that such provisions are being relied upon by the other Secured Parties.

(c) THE COLLATERAL AGENT HAS CONSENTED TO SERVE AS COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING, AND THE HOLDERS OF THE OBLIGATIONS, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED, THAT THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY AND SHALL OWE NO OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY (FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE) TO THE HOLDERS OF ANY OBLIGATIONS, OTHER THAN THE DUTY TO PERFORM ITS EXPRESS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR TERMS, SUBJECT IN ALL EVENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE X AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT LIMITING THE RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR OTHERWISE, TO COMPEL THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF ANY COLLATERAL, AND ANY OBLIGATION THE COLLATERAL AGENT MIGHT HAVE, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR OTHERWISE, TO OBTAIN ANY MINIMUM PRICE FOR ANY COLLATERAL UPON THE SALE THEREOF, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS BEING CONDITIONED UPON THE UNDERSTANDING, THAT THE SOLE RIGHT OF THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE TO RECEIVE THEIR RATABLE SHARE OF ANY PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE X

Concerning the Collateral Agent

SECTION 10.01. Limitations on Responsibility of Collateral Agent . The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained herein or in any Other Security Document. The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any Other Security Document or as to the validity, execution, enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, and the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral, for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as provided in the immediately following sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession or control of the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Grantors or to the holders of the Secured Obligations as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except the duty to accord such Collateral the same care that it normally accords to its own assets and the duty to account for moneys received by it. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Guarantor or Grantor of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any other agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any such person in connection with this Agreement or any Other Security Document except for such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (it being understood that any action taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Other Security Document by the Collateral Agent or any such officer, agent or representative at the direction or instruction of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit Agreement (or not taken in the absence of any such directions or instructions) shall not constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct). Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such person in accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit Agreement hereunder or under any Other Security Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which gave the notice to take such action shall no longer be the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit Agreement or the Secured Parties on behalf of which such notice was given are no longer the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact.

SECTION 10.02. Reliance by Collateral Agent; Indemnity Against Liabilities, etc . (a) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any Other Security Document the Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable

that a matter be proved or established with respect to any Grantor or any other person in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of any action hereunder by the Collateral Agent, such matter may be conclusively deemed to be proved or established by a certificate executed by an officer of such Person which is believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon.

(b) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and shall not incur any liability in taking any action hereunder or under any Other Security Document in good faith in accordance with any advice of such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall have the right but not the obligation at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, the duties created hereunder or the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in relying upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order or other paper or document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificate or opinions that are believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and signed or furnished by the proper Person furnished to the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Other Security Document.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such a notice that is believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice so furnished to it.

(e) If the Collateral Agent has been requested to take any specific action by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or such Other Security Document in the manner so requested unless it shall have been provided indemnity by the Secured Parties on whose behalf such request shall have been made reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 10.03. Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent . The Collateral Agent may at any time, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, resign and be discharged from the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor by the Administrative Agent with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. If no successor shall be appointed and approved within 30 days after the date of any such resignation, the Collateral Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act until a successor shall have been appointed as above provided or may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

SECTION 10.04. Expenses and Indemnification . By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees (i) to reimburse the Collateral Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share from time to time (based on the Applicable Percentage of such Lender), of any expenses referred to in this Agreement or in any Other Security Document securing Obligations owed to such Lender and/or any other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement and protection of the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties which shall not have been paid or reimbursed by the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor or paid from the proceeds of any Collateral as provided herein and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”), on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements referred to in this Agreement and/or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement or the Other Security Documents or the enforcement and protection of the rights of the Secured Parties, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor or paid from the proceeds of Collateral as provided herein; provided , in each case, that no Secured Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any portion of such expenses, liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

ARTICLE XI

Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness

SECTION 11.01. Subordination . To the fullest extent permitted under law, the Company and each other Grantor and Guarantor hereby agrees that all Intercompany Indebtedness owed to it by any Intercompany Obligor is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, to the payment in full in cash of all Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor.

SECTION 11.02. Dissolution or Insolvency . Upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Intercompany Obligor, or otherwise:

(a) the Secured Parties shall, as between such Secured Parties and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor, first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor in accordance with the terms of such Obligations before the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, whether as principal, interest or otherwise; and

(b) any payment by, or distribution of the assets of, such Intercompany Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor would be entitled except for the provisions of clause (a) above shall, upon receipt by the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor, be held in trust (or in a compte de sequestre , if applicable) for the applicable Secured Parties and promptly paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of such Secured Parties to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Obligations remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to such Secured Parties in respect of such Obligations.

SECTION 11.03. Subrogation . Subject to (and only upon) the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations, the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor shall be subrogated to the rights of the applicable Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions in cash, property or securities applicable to such Obligations until all amounts owing on the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor shall be paid in full, and as between and among such Intercompany Obligor, its creditors (other than its Secured Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, no such payment or distribution made to the Secured Parties by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor in respect of such Intercompany Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by such Intercompany Obligor on account of such Intercompany Indebtedness.

SECTION 11.04. Other Creditors . Nothing contained in this Article is intended to or shall impair, as between and among any Intercompany Obligor, its creditors (other than the Secured Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, the obligations of such Intercompany Obligor to pay its Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or affect the relative rights of the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor and the creditors of such Intercompany Guarantor (other than the Secured Parties).

SECTION 11.05. No Waiver . No right of any Secured Party to enforce this Article shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, or any Intercompany Obligor, or by any noncompliance by any Intercompany Obligor with the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, any Other Security Document or the Credit Agreement, and the Secured Parties are hereby expressly authorized to extend, renew, increase, decrease, modify or amend the terms of the Obligations or any security therefor, and to release, sell or exchange any such security and otherwise deal freely with any Intercompany Obligor, all without notice to or consent of the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor and without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties hereto.

SECTION 11.06. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected . (a) All rights and interests of the Secured Parties under this Article, and all agreements and obligations of the Company and each other Grantor or Guarantor under this Article, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Credit Agreement;

(iii) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Guarantee, in respect of all or any of the Obligations; or

(iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Intercompany Obligor in respect of Obligations or of the Company or any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the agreements contained in this Article.

(b) The agreements contained in this Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Obligations or any part thereof is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c) The Company and each Grantor and Guarantor hereby agree that the Secured Parties may, without affecting or impairing any of the obligations of the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the Obligations or any part thereof and (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Intercompany Obligor or any other Person.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

SECTION 12.01. Notices . All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be given as provided in the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor or Guarantor other than the Company shall be given to it in care of the Company as provided in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12.02. Waivers; Amendment . (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Credit Document 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 Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents 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 any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, 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, no extension of credit by any Secured Party under the Credit Agreement or otherwise shall be construed as a waiver of any default hereunder, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such default at the time. No notice or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Credit Party or Credit Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification . (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Credit Documents, each Grantor and each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted under law, jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or

any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses shall have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the breach of any of its obligations set forth in any Credit Document.

(c) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 12.04. Successors and Assigns . Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 12.05. Survival of Agreement . All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall, subject to Section 12.13, 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 any Credit Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding, and so long as the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have not expired or terminated.

SECTION 12.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in this Section. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Credit Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Credit Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Credit Party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall

inure to the benefit of such Credit Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Credit Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Credit Party without the approval of any other Credit Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Credit Party hereunder.

SECTION 12.07. 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. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 12.08. Right of Set-Off . Without limitation to the provisions of Section 5.07, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and owed to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 12.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process . (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in

other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall affect any right of the Collateral Agent to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Collateral in the courts of any jurisdiction where such Collateral is located or deemed located.

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

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 12.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 12.11. Headings . Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 12.12. Security Interest Absolute . The pledges and security interests created hereby and by the Other Security Documents shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or

any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

SECTION 12.13. Termination or Release . (a) All pledges, security interests and Liens created hereunder and under the Other Security Documents and all Guarantees made hereunder shall be automatically released when (i) the principal of all Loans, all accrued interest and fees and all other Obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Miscellaneous Obligations) due and owing under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, (ii) the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the LC Exposures under the Credit Agreement have been reduced to zero and (iv) the Issuing Banks under the Credit Agreement have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit.

(b) A Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations as a Grantor or Guarantor hereunder and under each Other Security Document, and all pledges hereunder, or under any Other Security Document, of and security interests created hereunder, or under any Other Security Document, in the Collateral of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that any consent to such transaction required by the Credit Agreement shall have been obtained and the terms of such consent shall not provide otherwise.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer of any Collateral permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement by any Grantor to any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of any pledge or security interest created hereby or by any Other Security Document in respect of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement, all pledges, security interests and Liens created hereunder or under any Other Security Document of, in or on such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) Upon any transfer of any Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.04(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall release any pledge of, security interest in or Lien on such Equity Interests if the conditions to such release set forth in such Section 6.04(c) shall have been satisfied and if the Company shall have delivered a certificate to that effect to the Collateral Agent.

(e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each applicable Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding paragraph (b) or (c) above, in the case of any Lien on any Equity Interests in an entity organized under the laws of a

jurisdiction outside the United States of America, such Lien shall not be released until the Collateral Agent executes and delivers to the applicable Grantor a written consent to such release. The Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver any such written consent required by the immediately preceding sentence that is requested by the applicable Grantor in connection with the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In the case of any License of Intellectual Property to any Person that is not an Affiliate of any Grantor (i) for which it receives consideration at the time of such License at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the subject Intellectual Property and in respect of which the Borrower shall have delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent designating such transfer as an Asset Disposition for purposes of Section 6.04, (ii) that constitutes an Asset Disposition under Section 6.04, or (iii) that does not materially reduce the collateral value to the Secured Parties of the Material Intellectual Property, taken as a whole, and, in each case, is permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Liens on such Intellectual Property granted hereunder shall be subject to the rights of third parties to use such Intellectual Property under such License; provided that no such License shall be used for the purpose of securing or otherwise providing credit support for Indebtedness.

SECTION 12.14. Additional Grantors and Guarantors . (a) Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in a form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the Company (an “ Additional Subsidiary Agreement ”), such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Grantor and a Guarantor hereunder to the extent set forth in such Additional Subsidiary Agreement and shall, to the extent applicable, guarantee and create pledges of and security interests in its assets to secure the Obligations with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor or Guarantor herein. At the time any Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the guarantees, pledges and security interests, as applicable, given or created by such Subsidiary, and such supplemented Schedules shall replace the Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached to this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any Additional Subsidiary Agreement and the amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Credit Party as a party to this Agreement.

(b) Any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor may elect to become a Grantor at any time by delivering a certificate in substantially the form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the Company or in such other form as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent. Any such election shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of such certificate. At the time any such election is made, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the pledges and security interests given or created by such Subsidiary, and such supplemented Schedules shall replace the Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached to this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any certificate hereunder and the amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not require the consent of the Collateral Agent or any Credit Party. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 12.15. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact . Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the breach of such Person of its obligations set forth herein.

SECTION 12.16. Excluded Swap Obligations . The provisions of Section 1.06 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis .

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Americas segment operating income for prior periods has been restated to reflect the elimination of intercompany profit between the former North America and Latin America strategic business units ("SBUs"). Also, certain start-up costs related to the construction of our new manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico were reclassified from Other (Income) Expense to Americas operating income to align to the change in reported segments beginning in 2016. Finally, certain reclassifications affecting Interest Expense, Other (Income) Expense and segment assets were made due to the adoption of new accounting guidance regarding the presentation of debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 1.
