(v) In the event there are any Daylight Loans, immediately following the transactions provided for in paragraph (ii) above, each Lender shall make to the European J.V. and the European J.V. shall borrow, one or more Loans requested pursuant to a Borrowing Request delivered by the European J.V. to the Existing Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof. Such Revolving Loans shall have the initial Interest Periods and be of the Types set forth in Schedule 5.

Each party hereto confirms that the intention of the parties is that each of the Credit Agreement and the Master Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall not terminate on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect as amended and restated hereby (in the case of the Credit Agreement) and as amended hereby (in the case of the Master Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

(b) In case of any assignment or transfer of all or any part of the rights and obligations, including by way of novation, of any Secured Party on the Effective Date or at any other time under or in connection with the Restated Credit Agreement or the Amended MGCA or any other agreements or instruments from time to time giving rise to the Applicable Secured Obligations, the guarantees and security interests under the Security Documents (including, without limitation, those governed by Romanian law) will be preserved and will remain in full force and effect for the benefit of any successors, assignees/transferees of the respective Secured Party and the other Secured Parties.

Annex 2

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in respect of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors incorporated under the laws of France (the “French Guarantors”) under this Article III, it is understood that: (i) the obligations and liabilities of French Guarantors in respect of the Obligations shall be limited in accordance with their respective financial resources in the following manner: (A) the obligations and liabilities of Goodyear Dunlop Tires France S.A. in respect of the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding €87,250,000, (B) notwithstanding the maximum amount set out in the agreement dated October 7, 2009 pursuant to which Goodyear Dunlop Tires Amiens Sud S.A.S. became a French Guarantor, the obligations and liabilities of Goodyear Dunlop Tires Amiens Sud S.A.S. in respect of the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding €40,612,000, (C) pursuant to the agreement dated July 30, 2014 pursuant to which Vulco Développement S.A. became a French Guarantor, the obligations and liabilities of Vulco Développement S.A. in respect of the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding €470,883 and (D) the obligations and liabilities of any other Person becoming a French Guarantor in respect of the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding the amount indicated as such maximum amount in the agreement pursuant to which such Person shall become a French Guarantor.


Annex 3

(d) German limitations

(i) In the case of a Guarantor established in Germany as a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) (a “German GmbH Guarantor”), or as a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) as sole general partner (a “German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor” and, together with any German GmbH Guarantor, a “German Guarantor”), the enforcement against such German Guarantor of any and all claims arising under this Article III shall be limited, if and to the extent that under this Article III the relevant German Guarantor guarantees obligations of any of the German Guarantor’s affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than any of the German Guarantor’s subsidiaries), if and to the extent that:

 

  (A) the enforcement of the Guarantee would cause the German Guarantor’s, or, where the Guarantor is a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s, assets (the calculation of which shall include all items set forth in § 266(2) A (except to the extent that they are subject to the restrictions on distribution set forth in § 268(8) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)), B, C, D (except to the extent that they are subject to the restrictions on distribution set forth in § 268(8) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)) and E of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the German Guarantor’s, or, where the Guarantor is a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s, liabilities (the calculation of which shall include all items set forth in § 266(3) B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch))) (the “Net Assets”) to be less than its respective registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz); or

 

  (B) (if the German Guarantor’s, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s, Net Assets are already less than its respective share capital (Stammkapital)) the enforcement of the Guarantee would cause such deficit to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz).

(ii) For the purposes of such calculation the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

 

  (A) if the registered share capital of the German Guarantor, or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, of its general partner, is not fully paid up (nicht voll eingezahlt), the relevant amount which is not paid up shall be deducted from the registered share capital;


  (B) the amount of any increase after the date of this Agreement of the German Guarantor’s, or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner’s registered share capital which has been effected in breach of any term of any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be deducted from the registered share capital; and

 

  (C) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the German Guarantor or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner, in breach of any term of any Loan Document shall be disregarded.

(iii) In addition, in case of an enforcement of the guarantee granted under this Article III, the German GmbH Guarantor or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner and the German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, shall realize, to the extent legally permitted and, in respect of the German GmbH Guarantor’s, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor its general partner’s and the German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor’s, business, commercially justifiable, in a situation where the German GmbH Guarantor, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor its general partner and the German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, does not have sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such assets if such assets are not necessary for the German GmbH Guarantor’s, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor its general partner’s and the German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor’s, business (betriebsnotwendig).

(iv) The enforcement of the Guarantee shall be excluded pursuant to Section 3.03(d)(i) above if no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following a demand by the Administrative Agent to make a payment under the Guarantee, the managing directors on behalf of the German Guarantor have confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent:

 

  (A) to what extent the Guarantee granted hereunder is an up-stream or cross-stream guarantee as described in Section 3.03(d)(i) above; and

 

  (B) which amount of such cross-stream and/or up-stream guarantee cannot be enforced as it would cause the Net Assets of the German Guarantor, or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner to be less than its respective registered share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Section 3.03(d)(ii) above and any amounts realized pursuant to Section 3.03(d)(iii) above),


(the “Management Determination”) and such confirmation is supported by a reasonably satisfactory calculation and up-to-date balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor, provided that the Administrative Agent shall in any event be entitled to enforce the Guarantee for any amounts where such enforcement would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause the German Guarantor’s, or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner’s Net Assets to be less than (or to fall further below) the amount of its respective registered share capital (in each case as calculated and adjusted in accordance with Sections 3.03(d)(ii) and (iii) above).

(v) If the Administrative Agent disagrees with the Management Determination, each of the Administrative Agent and the relevant German Guarantor may request within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of delivery of the Management Determination that the Administrative Agent and the relevant German Guarantor instruct a firm of auditors of international standing and reputation to determine, within forty-five (45) Business Days (or such longer period as has been agreed between the German Guarantor and the Administrative Agent) from the date of such request, the value of available Net Assets (the “Auditor’s Determination”). If the Administrative Agent and that German Guarantor do not agree on the appointment of a joint auditor within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the request, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to appoint independent auditors of international standing and reputation in its sole discretion. The amount determined as available in the Auditor’s Determination shall be (except for manifest error) binding for all Parties. The costs of the Auditor’s Determination shall be borne by the relevant German Guarantor.

(vi) If and to the extent that the guarantee has been enforced without regard to the limitation set forth in Section 3.03 (d)(i) above and the amount of the available Net Assets pursuant to an Auditor’s Determination delivered in line with Section 3.03 (d)(v) above is lower than the amount enforced previously, the Administrative Agent shall upon written demand of the relevant German Guarantor to the Administrative Agent repay any amount (if, and to the extent, already paid to and received by the Administrative Agent), up to and including the amount calculated in the Auditor’s Determination calculated as of the date the demand under the relevant guarantee was made and in accordance with Sections 3.03(d)(ii) and (iii) above.

(vii) If, pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination, the amount of the available Net Assets is higher than set out in the Management Determination, the relevant German Guarantor shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Auditor’s Determination.

(viii) The limitations set out in this Section 3.03(d) shall not apply (or, as the case may be, shall cease to apply):

 

  (A)

if and to the extent the relevant German Guarantor guarantees any amounts borrowed under this Agreement which are lent, on-lent or otherwise


  passed on to such German Guarantor and/or, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner or any of its respective Subsidiaries to the extent that any such amount is still outstanding at the time any demand under this guarantee is made against that German Guarantor (provided that the relevant German Guarantor must prove (Beweislast) that or to which extent such amounts have been thus lent, on-lent or otherwise passed on and are still outstanding);

 

  (B) if and to the extent the enforcement of the Guarantee will result in a fully valuable recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewährsanspruch) of the German Guarantor within the meaning of § 30(1) sentence 2 of the German Act on Limited Liability Companies (GmbH-Gesetz) against the Credit Party whose obligations are guaranteed under the Guarantee;

 

  (C) if and when a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) and/or a profit absorption agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (either directly or through a chain of domination and/or profit absorption agreements) is or becomes effective between the relevant German Guarantor (and, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner) and:

 

  I. in case the German Guarantor (and, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner) is a Subsidiary of the relevant Credit Party whose obligations are guaranteed under the Guarantee, that Credit Party or a direct or indirect shareholder of that Credit Party; or

 

  II. in case the German Guarantor (and, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner) is a sister company of the relevant Credit Party whose obligations are guaranteed under the Guarantee, any joint (direct or indirect) parent company of the German Guarantor (and, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner) and that Credit Party

as dominating entity (beherrschendes Unternehmen), provided the relevant German Guarantor (or, in case of a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner) has under such domination and or profit absorption agreement a fully valuable (werthaltig) compensation claim against the dominating entity; or

 

  (D)

if and to the extent for any other reason (including, without limitation, as a result of a change in the relevant rules of law) the deficit (Unterbilanz) referred to in Section 3.03(d)(i) above does not constitute a breach of the German Guarantor’s or, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co KG Guarantor, its general partner’s obligations to maintain its registered share


  capital pursuant to §§ 30 et seq. of the German Act on Limited Liability Companies (GmbH-Gesetz), each as amended, supplemented and/or replaced from time to time.
