First Amendment to the Goodyear Second Lien Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and each of the entities listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) in connection with the First Amendment, dated as of June 16, 2015 (the “Amendment”), to the Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (“JPMCB”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) of the Amendment. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement.

We have reviewed (i) the Amendment, (ii) the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement, (iii) the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2005, as reaffirmed and amended by the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2007, as further reaffirmed and amended by the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012 and as further reaffirmed by the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2015, among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company identified therein and the Collateral Agent (as so amended through the date hereof, the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), (iv) the Amended and Restated Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012, among JPMCB, as collateral agent for the First Lien Secured Parties referred to therein (the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent for the Second Lien Secured Parties referred to therein, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company named therein (the “Lenders LSIA”), (v) the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012, among JPMCB, as first lien collateral agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as second lien collateral agent, the Designated Senior Obligations Collateral Agents and Designated Junior Obligations Collateral Agents (as such terms are defined therein) from time to time party thereto, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company named therein (the “LSIA”), (vi) the financing statements filed in the State of Delaware, the State of Arizona and the State of Ohio pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement describing certain property of certain Grantors listed on Exhibit B hereto (collectively, the “Grantors”) and naming such Grantors, respectively, as debtors, and the

 

1


Collateral Agent, as secured party (the “Financing Statements”), (vii) the deposit account control agreements listed on Exhibit C hereto (the “Deposit Account Agreements”) and (viii) such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. The agreements, documents and instruments referred to in clauses (i) through (v) are referred to in this opinion each as a “Document” and collectively as the “Documents.”

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

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

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

 

2


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

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

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

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

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

5. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties party to the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement a valid security interest in the Article 9 Collateral (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), as security for the Obligations, to the extent that security interests in the Article 9 Collateral can be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (the “NYUCC”).

6. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, together with the delivery to the First Lien Collateral Agent, in the State of New York, of the certificates evidencing pledged equity interests identified on Exhibit F (the “Pledged Securities”) and the acknowledgement of the First Lien Collateral Agent in the Lenders LSIA that it has taken possession of such certificates as agent on behalf of the Collateral Agent, create in favor of the Collateral Agent, as security for the Obligations, a perfected security interest under the NYUCC in each Grantors rights in the Pledged Securities. Assuming that the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party acquired their respective interests in the Pledged Securities without notice of any adverse claim and that each Pledged Security is either in bearer form or in registered form, issued or endorsed by an effective endorsement in the name of the First Lien Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent acquired its security interest in the Pledged Securities free of any adverse claim.

 

3


7. The Financing Statements filed in the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware, the office of the Secretary of State of Arizona and the office of the Secretary of State of Ohio (the “Filing Offices”) were in proper form for filing in such respective offices on the respective dates they were filed. The filing of each such Financing Statement in the applicable Filing Office was, on the respective dates they were filed, sufficient to perfect the security interest created in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the collateral described in such Financing Statement to the extent a security interest can be perfected in such collateral under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware and Chapter 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Arizona and Ohio by filing a financing statement in the applicable Filing Office.

8. The execution and delivery of the Deposit Account Agreements was sufficient to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in each deposit account (as defined in Section 9-102 of the NYUCC) set forth in Exhibit A or Schedule I, as the case may be, to each of the Deposit Account Agreements.

9. The use of the proceeds from the Loans as described in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

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

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

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

(b) We express no opinion as to (i) the ownership of or title to any property, or as to the adequacy of any description of any property, (ii) zoning, subdivision or other matters affecting the use, occupancy or operation of the Collateral, (iii) any security interest or lien, other than as specifically set forth in paragraphs 5 through 8, or (iv) the priority of any security interest or lien.

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

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

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

(iv) grants of powers of attorney or proxies;

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

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

(vii) restrictions upon transfers, pledges or assignments of a party’s rights under the Documents;

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

(ix) provisions purporting to govern post-judgment interest;

(x) exclusive jurisdiction or venue provisions;

(xi) provisions in the Documents requiring compliance with, or referring to, (A) the terms of any agreement or other instrument that is not a Document or (B) any law other than the law of the State of New York, the DGCL or the Federal law of the United States of America;

(xii) provisions purporting to determine the rate at which judgments in currencies other than United States Dollars would be translated into United States Dollars or vice-versa; and

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

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

(f) Except as set forth in paragraphs 9 and 10, we express no opinion as to any Federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or as to any anti-fraud laws.

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

(h) We express no opinion as to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended from time to time and as re-codified in Title 49 of the United States Code.

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

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

(k) We express no opinion as to the creation, validity, binding effect or perfection of (i) any security interest to the extent limited by Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any security interest in any right the assignment of which requires the consent of another person that has not been duly obtained.

We are members of the bar of the State of New York. We do not purport to be experts in and do not express any opinion herein on any laws other than the law of the State of New York, the DGCL and the Federal law of the United States of America. Our opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 above are based solely on our review of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware and Chapter 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Arizona and Ohio, as reported by Westlaw pursuant to an online search performed on June 15, 2015.

This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of each Person who becomes a Lender before July 16, 2015, as the result of an assignment by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any Lender pursuant to the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement of any of their respective Loans or Commitments, which Persons may rely upon this opinion as of the date hereof, and may not be relied upon by any other Person without our written consent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and am rendering the opinions set forth below in connection with the First Amendment, dated as of June 16, 2015 (the “Amendment”), to the Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent (“DBTCA”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (“JPMCB”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) of the Amendment.

I, or members of my staff, have reviewed (i) the Amendment, (ii) the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2015, among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company identified therein, DBTCA, as collateral agent, and JPMCB, as administrative agent, in respect of the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2005, as reaffirmed and amended by the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2007 and as further reaffirmed and amended by the Reaffirmation Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2012 (as so amended through the date hereof, the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company identified therein and DBTCA, as collateral agent, (iii) the Master Consent to Assignment, dated June 16, 2015, delivered by the Company to JPMCB, as administrative agent, and (iv) such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. The agreements, documents and instruments referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) are referred to in this opinion each as a “Document” and collectively as the “Documents.”

I have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to me as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents submitted to me conform to the originals. I have assumed further that each of the Secured Parties (as

 

1


defined under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents to which it is a party and that each such Document is the valid and binding obligation of such Secured Party, enforceable against such Secured Party in accordance with its terms. I have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and other sources that I believe to be responsible.

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

1. The Company, the Subsidiary Grantors identified on Exhibit A hereto and the Subsidiary Guarantors identified on Exhibit B hereto (each a “Credit Party” and together the “Credit Parties”) are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and that each Credit Party has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

2. Each of the Credit Parties has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents to which it is a party.

3. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by or filing with any governmental agency or instrumentality of the State of Ohio is required on the part of any Credit Party for the execution and delivery of any Document to which such Credit Party is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except (i) those already obtained or made and (ii) such filings and other actions as are required to perfect the security interests and liens granted under the Documents and the other Credit Documents (as defined under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement).

4. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of each Document to which such Credit Party is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any Ohio statute, law, rule or regulation to which such Credit Party is subject or (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of such Credit Party’s organizational documents.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications.

(a) I express no opinion as to any Federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or as to any anti-fraud laws. I express no opinion as to compliance with Federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws upon a default or realization upon the Collateral (as defined under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

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

(c) I express no opinion as to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended from time to time and as re-codified in Title 49 of the United States Code.

I am a member of the bar of the State of Ohio. In rendering the foregoing opinions, the examination of law referred to above has been limited to, and I express no opinions as to matters under or involving any laws other than, the laws of the State of Ohio.

This opinion is given to you solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions described herein and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or by any other person or entity for any purpose without my written consent.

 

Very truly yours,

FORM OF REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT


REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT dated as of June 16, 2015 (this “Agreement”), among THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY (“Goodyear”), the other Subsidiaries of Goodyear identified as Grantors and Guarantors under the Security Documents referred to below (collectively with Goodyear, the “Reaffirming Parties”), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Collateral Agent, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent, under the Amended Credit Agreement referred to below.

Goodyear has requested that the Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement dated as of April 19, 2012, among Goodyear, the Lenders (as defined therein) party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collateral Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”), be amended by the First Amendment dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment Effective Date”), among Goodyear, the Lenders (as defined therein) party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collateral Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Amendment”). The Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment is referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given them by the Amended Credit Agreement.

Each of the Reaffirming Parties is party to one or more of the Security Documents referred to in the Amended Credit Agreement, and each Reaffirming Party expects to realize, or has realized, substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of the Amendment becoming effective and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as follows:

SECTION 1. Reaffirmation. (a) Each of the Reaffirming Parties confirms that (i) the security interests granted by it under the Security Documents and in existence immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall continue in full force and effect on the terms of the respective Security Documents and (ii) on the Amendment Effective Date the Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement shall constitute (x) “Obligations” under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), (y) “Obligations” under the Canadian Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of April 8, 2005, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, between Goodyear Canada Inc. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collateral Agent (the “Canadian

 

1


GCA”), and (z) “secured obligations” (however defined) under the other Security Documents (in each case, subject to any limitations set forth in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Canadian GCA or such other Security Documents). Each party hereto confirms that the intention of the parties is that each of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Canadian GCA and each other Security Document shall not terminate on the Amendment Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect (or, in the case of Foreign Pledge Agreements that are being amended in connection with the Amendment, shall continue in full force and effect as so amended).

(b) On and after the Amendment Effective Date, the terms “Credit Agreement”, “Second Lien Credit Agreement” and “Second Lien Agreement”, as used in the Security Documents, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 3. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Expenses. Goodyear agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and other counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

SECTION 6. No Novation. Neither this Agreement nor the execution, delivery or effectiveness of the Amendment shall extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Security Document or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing implied in this Agreement, the Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Grantor under any Security Document from any of its obligations and liabilities under the Amended

 

2


Credit Agreement or the Security Documents. Each of the Amended Credit Agreement and the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect, until (as applicable) and except to any extent modified hereby or by the Amendment or in connection herewith or therewith.
