5

GOODYEAR DUNLOP TYRES UK Ltd (the “UK Seller”) are in the business of manufacturing and/or supplying tyres and activities relating thereto, and hold receivables over certain customers.

(B) In order to provide financing to certain European subsidiaries of GOODYEAR, CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK and NATIXIS have proposed to set up a securitisation transaction by way of the sale, on an ongoing basis, of trade receivables resulting from the ordinary business of the Sellers in Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Spain (the “Securitisation Transaction”).

(C) Pursuant to the Securitisation Transaction and with respect to (i) the French Seller, the Spanish Seller and the UK Seller, existing and future domestic trade receivables will be purchased by the Purchaser from those Sellers on an ongoing basis and in accordance with receivables purchase agreements governed by French law, in respect of the French Seller and the Spanish Seller, and English law, in respect of the UK Seller, and (ii) the German Seller, existing and future domestic and cross-border trade receivables will be purchased by the Purchaser from the German Seller on an ongoing basis and in accordance with, and subject to, the laws governing such receivables as set forth in a receivables purchase agreement (entered into, inter alios, between the German Seller, the Centralising Unit and the Purchaser) (the receivables purchase agreements under (i) and (ii) above together, the “Receivables Purchase Agreements”).

(D) The Purchaser has agreed to acquire certain existing trade receivables (the “Remaining Purchasable Receivables”) and future trade receivables (the “Ongoing Purchasable Receivables”) held and to be held by the Sellers subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the Receivables Purchase Agreements.

(E) The Purchaser shall fund the acquisition of Ongoing Purchasable Receivables, Remaining Purchasable Receivables, Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables:

(i) partly out of a senior deposit (the “Senior Deposit”) effected by the Depositor with the Purchaser in accordance with a master senior deposit agreement (the “Master Senior Deposit Agreement”); and

(ii) partly by way of set-off against any amount due and payable by the Centralising Unit to the Purchaser in connection with (a) a subordinated deposit (the “Subordinated Deposit”) to be effected by the Centralising Unit with the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of a master subordinated deposit agreement (the “Master Subordinated Deposit Agreement”) and (b) a complementary deposit (the “Complementary Deposit”) to be effected by the Centralising Unit with the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of a master complementary deposit agreement (the “Master Complementary Deposit Agreement”).

(F) The receivable held by the Depositor over the Purchaser in connection with the repayment of the Senior Deposit shall be assigned to a French fonds commun de titrisation (the “Fund”) set up in accordance with articles L. 214-167 to L. 214-175, and L. 214-180 to L. 214-186 and R. 214-217 to R. 214-235 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (code monétaire et financier) which

6

shall issue related units. Such units may be subscribed by any Issuer (as defined in SCHEDULE 1 (Master Definition Schedule)) or any Fund Subscriber Issuer (as defined in SCHEDULE 1 (Master Definition Schedule)), pursuant to the terms and conditions of subscription agreements to be entered into between the Fund and each Issuer and Fund Subscriber (the “Subscription Agreements”), in the following conditions:

(i) unless the corresponding Fund Subscriber has exercised its Fund Subscriber Option (as defined below) and until rescission thereof by such Fund Subscriber, each Issuer shall fund the subscription of units, by either (x) issuing commercial paper (the “Notes”), or (y) in the event that the Issuer is not capable to issue Notes in the commercial paper market, exercising its rights under a liquidity agreement (a “Liquidity Agreement”) entered into with credit institutions (the “Liquidity Banks”), pursuant to which the Liquidity Banks have undertaken to either acquire from such Issuer all or part of the units which cannot be funded through the issuance of Notes or grant a facility to finance or refinance the susbscription of such units;

(iii) upon notice given by any Fund Subscriber to, among others, the Centralising Unit, the Calculation Agent and the Fund, of its intention to exercise such option, such Fund Subscriber shall directly subscribe to units issued by the Funds (the “Fund Subscriber Option”). Upon the exercise of such Fund Subscriber Option and until rescission thereof by such Fund Subscriber, the obligation of the corresponding Issuer to subscribe to units issued by the Fund under the Subscription Agreement to which such Issuer is a party shall be suspended.

(G) Pursuant to a financial guarantee agreement entered into between, inter alios, the Purchaser, the Depositor and the Fund, the Purchaser will indirectly pledge the Sold Receivables of the French Seller to the benefit of the Fund to guarantee its financial obligations under the Senior Deposit assigned to the Fund in accordance with article L. 211-38 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (code monétaire et financier).

(H) The Centralising Unit shall be appointed by the Sellers to act as their agent (mandataire) for the purposes of carrying out certain activities, in accordance with the provisions of this general master purchase agreement, including the execution of certain amendments hereto (the “General Master Purchase Agreement” or the “Agreement”).

(I) For the purposes of the General Master Purchase Agreement and the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall appoint the Sellers for the recovery of collections in accordance with a Collection Mandate (the “Collection Mandate”).

(J) Due to the number of Sellers and the different Receivables Purchase Agreements under which Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Remaining Purchasable Receivables will be purchased by the Purchaser, the Parties have agreed to enter into this General Master Purchase Agreement in order to set out a Master Definitions Schedule, common terms, representations and warranties, general covenants and all other provisions provided for by this General Master Purchase Agreement that will apply in respect of the Receivables Purchase Agreements.

CHAPTER II

PURPOSE - TERM - CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

3. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT

3.1 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreements and, where applicable, the relevant Transfer Deeds, the Sellers shall sell Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Remaining Purchasable Receivables to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall purchase Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Remaining Purchasable Receivables from the Sellers on each Funded Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period.

3.2 The Parties agree that the Purchaser shall fund the acquisition of Ongoing Purchasable Receivables, Remaining Purchasable Receivables, Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables as follows:

(i) partly out of a Senior Deposit effected by the Depositor with the Purchaser in accordance with the Master Senior Deposit Agreement, for an amount which shall not exceed the Maximum Amount of the Program, as determined in accordance with Article 7 (Amount of the Purchaser’s Funding);

(ii) partly by way of set-off against any amount due and payable by the Centralising Unit to the Purchaser in connection with (a) a Subordinated Deposit to be effected by the Centralising Unit with the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of the Master Subordinated Deposit Agreement and (b) a Complementary Deposit to be effected by the Centralising Unit with the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of the Master Complementary Deposit Agreement, for an amount which shall not exceed the Maximum Amount of the Complementary Deposit.

3.3 The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Centralising Unit is acting for the purposes of this Agreement, in its own name and behalf, but also in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, pursuant to the terms of a mandate (mandat) expressly granted by each of the Sellers to the Centralising Unit and which the Centralising Unit hereby accepts. By virtue of this mandate, the Sellers appoint the Centralising Unit to act in their name and on their behalf and to perform the following obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents: (i) receive all Payments due by the Purchaser to the Sellers in respect of the Sold Receivables, (ii) make any payment due by the Sellers to the Purchaser and the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents, such payments covering inter alia the amount due in respect of Actual Collections or Adjusted Collections, (iii) enter into the Current Account relationship set forth in Article 6, (iv) negotiate with the Purchaser, in particular upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in Articles 13, 14 and 15, such negotiation to be conducted outside the UK (v) deliver to the Purchaser on each Funded Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period, the Transfer Deeds received from the Sellers or executed by the Centralising Unit and, on each Information Date, the List of Purchasable Receivables, (vi) receive or give any notices, mails, or documents provided pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (vii) exercise any rights arising in respect of the Transaction Documents (with the exception of the Master Subordinated Deposit Agreement and

9

the Master Complementary Deposit Agreement, in respect of which the Centralising Unit acts in its own name and on its own behalf), (viii) deliver to the Purchaser the Assessment Reports substantially in the form set out in SCHEDULE 3 and (ix) to carry out any powers it has as agent of the Seller as set out in Articles 35 and 40, including the negotiation and execution of any amendments provided for under Articles 35 and 40, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall give the Centralising Unit authority to act on behalf of the Purchaser and in particular it will not perform the obligations of the Sellers under Articles 24 and 25.

The Sellers and the Centralising Unit have entered into the Intercompany Arrangements, which provide, among other things, for the allocation of all sums due and/or received in connection with the Transaction Documents to which each Seller and the Centralising Unit is a party. Such Intercompany Arrangements shall provide inter alia that each Seller has an effective recourse against the defaulting Seller, the other Sellers and GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES EUROPE BV for any payment that any Seller or the Centralising Unit may be required to make under the joint and several liability provisions provided for under Article 3.6. The Sellers and the Centralising Unit hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertake to refrain from exercising any rights of recourse against the Purchaser, the Agent, CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK and/or NATIXIS in connection with such allocation.

3.4 The Parties agree that the Purchaser shall appoint the Sellers to act as collection agents for the servicing of the Sold Receivables, in accordance with the provisions of Article 21.

3.5 This Agreement shall apply automatically to any Transfer Deed delivered by the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of a Seller to the Purchaser or any other similar document agreed between a Seller and the Purchaser, pursuant to the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement.

3.6 Joint and several liability

3.6.1 The Parties agree that the obligations of each Seller under this Agreement shall be several but not joint, and shall be construed as if each Seller had entered into a separate agreement with the Purchaser.

3.6.2 By way of exception to the foregoing, each Seller and the Centralising Unit shall be jointly and severally liable to the Purchaser for the payment by a Seller, GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES EUROPE BV and/or the Centralising Unit of (i) any sums due under the Transaction Documents and notably (without limitation) for the transfer of Adjusted Collections on the due date to the Purchaser, in accordance with the provisions of Article 23, and (ii) any claim for damages against a Seller for breach of its representations and warranties or for failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Each Seller hereby acknowledges and accepts that the benefit of any joint and several liability between Sellers party to the Transaction Documents shall be extended to any New Seller, without any need for additional written consent under this Agreement (other than by the Centralising Unit as contemplated by Articles 35 and 40).

10

3.6.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that any claim enforceable under Article 3.6.2 above against the German Seller shall on any date on which payment is requested pursuant to Article 3.6.2 be limited to the amount of its Net Assets less its Registered Share Capital as of such date (the “Free Equity Amount”).

For the purpose of this Article 3.6, “Net Assets” means, in respect of any entity as of any date, the result of (a) the sum of the amounts shown under the balance sheet positions pursuant to § 266 (2) (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), with the exception of (i) any loan repayment claims against any of such entity’s affiliates (other than such entity’s subsidiaries) (or other, economically equivalent claims, including recourse claims against a defaulting Seller under the Intercompany Arrangements) and (ii) the value of any assets which is not available for distribution to shareholders pursuant to §268 (8) of the German commercial code, less (b) the sum of the amounts of liabilities shown under the balance sheet positions pursuant to § 266 (3) (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German Commercial Code, in each case as determined as of such date; and “Registered Share Capital” means, in respect of any entity as of any date, the amount shown under the balance sheet position pursuant to § 266 (3) (A) I of the German Commercial Code as determined as of such date.

3.6.4 If, upon a payment request to the German Seller under Article 3.6.2 above, the German Seller is of the reasonable opinion that the amount requested exceeds the Free Equity Amount at the time of such request, the German Seller shall provide evidence to the Purchaser that the payment in full of the amount requested would result: in the case of a GmbH Party, in the amount of its Net Assets falling below the amount of its Registered Share Capital, including, without limitation, plausible calculations made by the German Seller and all supporting documents reasonably requested by the Purchaser, and a written statement from the statutory auditors of the German Seller (in case of Article 3.6.3) to the Purchaser to the effect that the amount of the payment requested exceeds the Free Equity Amount of the German Seller (in case of Article 3.6.3).

3.6.5 For the purposes of calculating the Free Equity Amount, loans and other contractual liabilities incurred in negligent or wilful violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be disregarded.

In the event that a payment is requested under Article 3.6.2 above, the German Seller shall realise, to the extent (i) the Free Equity Amount falls short of the amount so requested, (ii) required to enable the German Seller to make the requested payment, and (iii) legally permitted, assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets at the time of such request if such assets are not necessary for the business of the German Seller (betriebsnotwendig).

3.6.6 None of the above restrictions on enforcement shall apply if and to the extent such enforcement relates to any obligations of the German Seller other than under Article 3.6.2.

3.6.7 The Parties expressly agree that the Sellers and the Centralising Unit shall not have any responsibility for any non payment by any Debtor of any sums due in respect of the Sold Receivables, except to the extent that the Purchaser may exercise recourse for such non payment against the Subordinated Deposit and, as the case may be, the Complementary Deposit, as

11

provided herein and, for the avoidance of any doubt, to the extent of any Deemed Collections in accordance with the provisions of Article 28.

4. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT

4.1 This Agreement shall commence on the Closing Date and end on the Program Expiry Date. For the purposes of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Parties agree that there shall be two (2) periods:

(i) the Replenishment Period, which commences on the Closing Date and ends on the Commitment Expiry Date (excluded); and

(ii) the Amortisation Period, which commences on the Commitment Expiry Date and ends on the Program Expiry Date.

4.2 The Parties expressly agree that, in the event that there are any Sold Receivables outstanding on the Program Expiry Date:

(a) until such time as (i) any sums due under the Master Senior Deposit Agreement have been paid, or (ii) the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, has repurchased all such Sold Receivables from the Purchaser:

(i) the Centralising Unit shall make a payment to the Purchaser for an amount equal to any collections actually received by the Sellers arising in relation to those Sold Receivables which are outstanding; and

(ii) the Conformity Warranties set out in Article 19 (Conformity Warranties for Ongoing Purchasable Receivable and Remaining Purchasable Receivables) and the relevant Seller’s covenants in relation to the Sold Receivables as set out in Articles 12 (General Covenants), 16 (Order of Priority during the Amortisation Period), 21 (Collection of Sold Receivables), 23 (Application of Payments and Payments of collections), 24 (Renegotiation), and 25 (Representation Mandate) shall remain in force ;

(b) thereafter, up to an amount equal to any portion of the Complementary Deposit and/or the Subordinated Deposit that was not reimbursed on the Program Expiry Date plus any Deferred Purchase Price that remained outstanding on such date, any Adjusted Collections shall be refunded to the Centralising Unit.

In any event, the Parties expressly agree that, even after the Program Expiry Date, the provisions set out in Articles 14 (Taxes), 15 (Changes in Circumstances), 29 (Fees and expenses), 31 (Confidentiality), 33 (Exercise of Rights – Recourse- Non Petition), 36 (Indemnities), 41 (Governing law – Jurisdiction) shall remain in force.

4.3 The Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, may, upon written notice given to the Purchaser at least nine (9) Business Days before a Funded Settlement Date during the

12

Amortisation Period or at any time after the Program Expiry Date, offer to repurchase all outstanding Sold Receivables from the Purchaser, at a price equal to the nominal value of such Sold Receivables or such other price as the Parties may agree. Such purchase price shall be applied towards the payments and in the order specified in Article 16 and, to the extent applicable, shall be set off against any amounts due to the Centralising Unit in accordance with said Article 16.

5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall not take effect unless and until the Purchaser has received, on the Closing Date, all the documents referred to in SCHEDULE 2, and has determined that the same are satisfactory as to form and substance.

(i) identify a selection in the List of Purchasable Receivables sent by the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers and of the Refinanced Seller, on the preceding Information Date, in order to select, by way of priority,

(a) the Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables title to which has passed and which have been transferred to the Purchaser from the Refinanced Seller between the last two (2) Assessment Dates and the Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables which shall be purchased by the Purchaser from the Refinanced Seller on the next Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period,

32

Dates, the Outstanding Amount of Remaining Purchasable Receivables to be purchased on the following Funded Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period and the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables to be purchased on the following Funded Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period) shall not exceed the sum of the Requested Amount of the Purchaser’s Funding, the amount of the Subordinated Deposit, the Maximum Amount of the Complementary Deposit and the Discount Reserve;

(ii) identify among the Remaining Purchasable Receivables, the Ongoing Purchasable Receivables, the Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables and the Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables selected in accordance with point (i) above, Eligible Receivables and Refinanced Eligible Receivables, which shall be selected so that the Outstanding Amount of Eligible Receivables and Refinanced Eligible Receivables due by Debtors of the same Group on the following Settlement Date shall not exceed the Maximum Concentration Rate multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of the Eligible Receivables and the Refinanced Eligible Receivables on such date;

(iii) if such Calculation Date immediately preceeds a Funded Settlement Date, send to the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, before 5.00 pm on such Calculation Date a list containing the Remaining Purchasable Receivables and the Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables (and identifying specifically the Eligible Receivables) as at the next Funded Settlement Date during the Replenishment Period, along with the Outstanding Amount of Remaining Purchasable Receivables and the Outstanding Amount of Eligible Receivables (it being provided that, for the purposes of this provision, the transfer of the Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables sold on the second Funded Settlement Date preceding such Calculation Date in accordance with the provisions of the French Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Spanish Receivables Purchase Agreement or the German Receivables Purchase Agreement (in that latter case only if the transfer of said Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables was governed by French law), will be assumed to be rescinded on the Funded Settlement Date following such Calculation Date so that such Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables will be treated as Remaining Purchasable Receivables to be purchased by the Purchaser on such Funded Settlement Date);

(iv) calculate, with respect to the following Settlement Date, and on the basis of the information received on the preceding Information Date:

(a) the balance of the Current Account;

(b) the Discount Amount;

(c) the amount of the Discount Reserve;

(vi) communicate to the Depositor the calculation of any Increase in the Purchaser’s Funding or any Reduction in the Purchaser’s Funding in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.3.

The Parties agree that, in the event that any Party becomes aware of any error in the calculation carried out by the Agent pursuant to the present Article 12.3.1, such Party shall forthwith notify the Agent in order to rectify such an error.

For the purposes of the relevant reporting documents, the Parties agree that CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK shall be responsible for ensuring that such reporting requirements are carried out.

34

12.4 Failure to deliver Assessment Report or List of Purchasable Receivables

12.4.1 In the event that the Centralising Unit fails to provide the Agent with a copy of the Assessment Report and/or a List of Purchasable Receivables within one (1) Business Day after an Information Date, or provides the Agent with a copy of the Assessment Report and/or a List of Purchasable Receivables, that is incomplete in relation to one or several Sellers or Italian Seller (with respect to any Seller or to the Italian Seller, a “Delivery Failure”), the Agent shall carry out the identification and the calculations referred to in Articles 12.3.1 and 12.3.2 as follows:

• in relation to Sellers or the Refinanced Seller for which there is no Delivery Failure, on the basis of the Assessment Report and the List of Purchasable Receivables provided to the Agent on such Information Date; and

• in relation to Sellers or Refinanced Seller for which there is a Delivery Failure, on the basis of the Assessment Report and the List of Purchasable Receivables provided to the Agent on the preceding Information Date;

If the Agent has not received such single consolidated Assessment Report and such List of Purchasable Receivables, it shall make its calculations on the basis of the single consolidated Assessment Report and single List of Purchasable Receivables received on the previous Information Date.

12.4.2 In the event of any failure to comply with the provisions of Article 12.2.1(vi), the Centralising Unit shall comply with such provisions with respect to the documents required to be delivered on or before the next Information Date.

CHAPTER VI

EARLY AMORTISATION

13. EARLY AMORTISATION

If any event occurs, which is not an event that is due to CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK or that could have been prevented by CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK, and which, in the Rating Agencies’ opinion, jeopardises the “bankruptcy remote character” of the Purchaser, the Purchaser may or, if all the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers (which shall be consulted by the Purchaser upon the occurrence of such an Early Amortisation Event) instruct the Purchaser to do so, the Purchaser shall terminate its Commitment to purchase Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Remaining Purchasable Receivables from the Sellers subject to notice made in writing to the Centralising Unit. In such an event, the Commitment Expiry Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following receipt by the Centralising Unit of the Purchaser’s Termination Notice.

38

(xiii) (a) any of the Transaction Documents becomes illegal or, cannot, for any reason whatsoever, be performed pursuant to their respective terms, and such illegality or inability to be performed is reasonably expected to prejudice the rights of the Purchaser in any material respect;

(b) a Transfer Deed becomes illegal or, cannot, for any reason whatsoever, be performed pursuant to its terms, and such illegality or inability to be performed is reasonably expected to prejudice the rights of the Purchaser;

EBITDA for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been prepared (as contemplated under the European Credit Facility, is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and there has been no Applicable Waiver or Amendment on or prior to the 60th calendar day after the occurrence of any such event. In addition, this General Master Purchase Agreement shall be automatically deemed amended, with no further actions required by the Parties, to reflect the changes made in any Applicable Waiver or Amendment).

39

13.4 Consequences of Early Amortisation Events

Except for the Early Amortisation Event described in Article 13.2, the effect of which is set out in such Article, the consequences of the Early Amortisation Events shall be as follows:

(i) If an Early Amortisation Event referred to in Articles 13.1 or 13.3 occurs and has not been waived, the Purchaser may or, if all the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers (which shall be consulted by the Purchaser upon the occurrence of such an Early Amortisation Event) instruct the Purchaser to do so, the Purchaser shall terminate by notice in writing to the Centralising Unit (the “Purchaser’s Termination Notice”), its Commitment to purchase Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and Remaining Purchasable Receivables from the Sellers. Upon knowledge by the Purchaser of the occurrence of an Early Amortisation Event and provided such Early Amortization Event has not been waived and as soon as the Purchaser has determined that such an occurrence shall entail the occurrence of the Commitment Expiry Date, a Purchaser’s Termination Notice may be sent forthwith. In such an event, the Commitment Expiry Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of receipt of the Purchaser’s Termination Notice by the Centralising Unit.

However, if upon consultation of the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers in accordance with the above paragraph or Article 13.2 or Article 21.3.1, no agreement can be reached among such Liquidity Banks and Fund Subscribers as to the termination by the Purchaser of its Commitment or with respect to Article 21.3.1, the termination of the appointment of each Seller for collection of the Sold Receivables, and where the Purchaser has not already decided in its own discretion to terminate, each Liquidity Bank and each Fund Subscriber may decide to terminate its own commitments under the Liquidity Agreement and/or Fund Subscription Agreement to which it is a party (any such party, the “Terminating Bank”), upon notice in writing to the Centralising Unit, the Purchaser, the other Liquidity Bank(s) and the other Fund Subscriber no later than on the Information Date preceding the Funded Settlement Date on which such termination is to be effective.

In the event of the termination by a Terminating Bank of its commitments under the Liquidity Agreement and, as the case may be, the Fund Subscription Agreement to which it is a party, the Maximum Amount of the Program shall be partially and automatically reduced by an amount equal to the commitments of such Terminating Bank under such Liquidity Agreement and, as the case may be, such Fund Subscription Agreement (without double-counting in respect of a Terminating Bank that would be a party to both a Liquidity Agreement and a Fund Subscription Agreement). Such reduction of the Maximum Amount of the Program shall take effect on the Funded Settlement Date on which the termination of its commitment by such Terminating Bank is effective and shall be definitive and irrevocable.

(ii) By way of further exception to the foregoing, if an Early Amortisation Event set forth in Article 13.3 13.3(iii), 13.3(iv), 13.3(v), 13.3(vi), 13.3(ix), 13.3(x), 13.3(xi), and 13.3(xiii) occurs exclusively in relation to certain but not all Sellers, the Purchaser shall give notice thereof to the relevant Seller(s) and the Centralising Unit. The Parties hereby agree that

40

upon receipt by the relevant Seller(s) and the Centralising Unit of such notice, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to purchase any further Ongoing Purchasable Receivable or Remaining Purchasable Receivable from the relevant Seller(s) (the “Excluded Seller(s)”). The Purchaser’s Commitment shall not otherwise be affected, except that if the aggregate amount of Sold Receivables assigned by the Excluded Seller(s) on the preceding three (3) Funded Settlement Dates (or the preceding six (6) Settlement Dates in the event a Bi-monthly Management Period is outstanding) represents more than 45% of the aggregate amount of Sold Receivables assigned by all Sellers on such dates, the Commitment Expiry Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of receipt of the notice referred to above.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Potential Early Amortisation Event shall not constitute an Early Amortisation Event if a suitable agreement between the Parties has been reached within the grace period (if any) provided for the related Early Amortisation Event in Article 13.3.

14.1 All payments to be made by each Seller, acting as Seller or as servicer of the Sold Receivables, or by the Centralising Unit, to the Purchaser under this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Master Subordinated Deposit Agreement and the Master Complementary Deposit Agreement shall be made free, clear of and without deduction for or on account of tax (not being tax imposed on the general income of the Purchaser), unless the relevant Seller or the Centralising Unit is required by mandatory provisions of law to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax, in which case the sum to be paid by the relevant Seller or the Centralising Unit in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall, to the extent permitted by law, be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of the required deduction or withholding, the Purchaser receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

In the event that any payment made by the Centralising Unit or any of the Sellers hereunder is subject to any withholding or deduction, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to recover any tax credit that it may be entitled to on account of such withholding or deduction and shall remit to the Centralising Unit any amounts so recovered, up to the amount necessary for the Seller to be (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been if such withholding or deduction had not been made, but such amount shall in any event not exceed the sums so recovered by the Purchaser.

41

If the increase referred to above is contrary to any applicable law, the Purchaser and the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, shall work together as soon as possible and in good faith to seek a solution acceptable to the Parties.

If no suitable agreement has been reached within thirty (30) calendar days following the coming into force of such deduction or withholding of tax, the Commitment Expiry Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day after such deduction or withholding comes into force. The Parties hereby agree that during the thirty-day period provided in the foregoing sentence, no Ongoing Purchasable Receivable and no Remaining Purchasable Receivable shall be sold to the Purchaser by the Sellers concerned by such deduction for or on account of tax or by all the Sellers if such deduction for or on account of tax relates to the Centralising Unit, on a Funded Settlement Date.

14.2 Each Seller shall bear any VAT (a “VAT Payment”) to which any transaction contemplated under the Securitisation Transaction may be subject or give rise and which applies to any party having entered into the Securitisation Transaction (other than the Sellers and the Centralising Unit); and each Seller shall fully indemnify the Purchaser or any party having entered into the Securitisation Transaction (other than the Sellers or the Centralising Unit), in respect of any liability to pay such VAT Payment and from and against any losses or liabilities which any of them may properly incur or otherwise suffer as a result of any delay in paying or omission to pay such VAT Payment.

If a Seller makes a VAT Payment and a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of taxes is attributable to that VAT Payment (a “VAT Credit”), the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the repayment of such VAT Credit, and once the Purchaser has obtained the repayment of such VAT Credit, the Purchaser shall transfer such amount to the relevant Seller so that the Seller will be (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the VAT Payment not been made by the Seller, but such amount shall in any event not exceed the sums actually paid to the Purchaser under the repayment of such VAT Credit.

14.3 In the event of any Insolvency Proceedings opened against the German Seller, if the insolvency administrator is involved in the enforcement of any pledge over the Collection Account(s) for the benefit of the Purchaser and if such insolvency administrator is entitled to claim a deduction of fees (“Enforcement Fees”) from the credit balance recorded on such Collection Account(s) at the date of institution of such Insolvency Proceedings, the German Seller and/or the Centralising Unit shall pay to the Purchaser any sums corresponding to such Enforcement Fees.

14.4 In the event that the Purchaser, the Refinanced Seller, a Liquidity Bank, a Fund Subscriber, an Issuer, the Management Company, the Custodian, the Fund, the Depositor or the Agent (each a “Tax Indemnified Party”) has to bear any new tax or withholding tax or any other tax related charge not yet in force on any sum which it owes and in relation to the Securitisation Transaction, the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, undertakes to indemnify such Tax Indemnified Party up to the amount of this new taxation or withholding tax or other tax charge, in the currency in which such deduction, withholding or other tax charge must be paid.

42

In the event that the Purchaser or the Refinanced Seller (each a “Refinanced Tax Indemnified Party”) has to bear any deduction or withholding tax or any other tax related charge on any sum which it owes and in relation to the Refinanced Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, undertakes to indemnify such Refinanced Tax Indemnified Party up to the amount of this taxation or withholding tax or other tax charge, in the currency in which such deduction, withholding or other tax charge must be paid.

In the event that any payment is made by the Centralising Unit to the Purchaser pursuant to this Article 14.4, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to recover any tax credit that it may be entitled to on account of such tax and shall remit to the Centralising Unit any amounts so recovered up to the amount necessary for the Seller to be (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been if such new tax had not been paid, within the limit of the sums so recovered by the Purchaser.

14.5 In the event that any Tax Indemnified Party (including, in particular, the Purchaser) has incurred any losses or liability resulting from or in relation to any recourse by any German tax administration against the Purchaser with respect to any Sold Receivable, the German Seller shall indemnify such Tax Indemnified Party up to the amount of such losses or liability incurred and in the currency in which such loss or liability has been incurred, provided that the recourse by such German tax administration against the Purchaser is based on section 13c of the German VAT Act or on any related or equivalent provision of German law.

14.6 Nothing in this Article 14 shall be construed so as to oblige the Purchaser to bear costs and expenses of whatever nature or to disclose confidential information relating to, inter alia, the organisation of its activities nor affect in any way its right to organise its tax affairs in a manner which it considers most beneficial.

15. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES

15.1 To the extent not already indemnified under Article 14, if, as a result of (i) the implementation, after the 2014 Amendment Date, of any change in the applicable laws, regulations, accounting standards or regulatory requirements or any change in the interpretation or application of the aforementioned and/or (ii) the implementation, after the 2014 Amendment Date, of any applicable directive, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank, self-regulating organisation, governmental, fiscal, monetary or other authority (including inter alia directives, requests, instructions, accounting standards or requirements which affect the manner in which any bank is required to maintain equity capital (own funds), taking into account its assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities or commitments):

(i) the cost of the Purchaser, the Refinanced Seller, any Liquidity Bank, any Fund Subscriber, any Issuer, the Management Company, the Custodian, the Fund, the Depositor or the Agent making available, agreeing to make available, maintaining or funding any Payment and/or assuming or maintaining their Commitment or otherwise giving effect to this Agreement shall be increased; and/or

43

(ii) any sum received or receivable by the Purchaser, the Refinanced Seller, any Liquidity Bank, any Fund Subscriber, any Issuer, the Management Company, the Custodian, the Fund, the Depositor or the Agent under the Transaction Documents shall be reduced (except for tax imposed on the general income of the Purchaser or default of a Debtor under any Sold Receivables or Refinanced Sold Receivables); and/or

(iii) the Purchaser, the Refinanced Seller, any Liquidity Bank, any Fund Subscriber, any Issuer, the Management Company, the Custodian, the Fund, the Depositor or the Agent shall become liable to make any payment on account of tax (except for tax imposed on its general income), or shall be compelled or obliged to forego any interest or other return, on or calculated by reference to the Commitment or any payment under this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and/or the Refinanced Receivables Purchase Agreement;

as soon as such event has occurred and provided that such information is publicly available, the Purchaser, the Refinanced Seller, any Liquidity Bank, any Fund Subscriber, the Issuer, the Management Company, the Custodian, the Fund, the Depositor or the Agent shall be entitled to claim from the Centralising Unit, acting as the case may be on its own behalf or on behalf of the Sellers, an indemnity equal to (a) the increased costs referred to in (i) above, and/or (b) the reduction referred to in (ii) above and/or (c) the amount referred to in (iii) above. To this effect, the Purchaser shall give notice to the Centralising Unit, by delivering to the latter a certificate specifying in sufficient detail the occurrence of the changes in circumstances and, if possible, the estimated amount and the actual amount and the reason(s) for the indemnity payable under this Article.

15.2 In the event of any dispute as to the amount of such an indemnity, the Purchaser and the Centralising Unit acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, shall work together as soon as possible and in good faith to seek a solution acceptable to the Parties; in the event of a dispute, such indemnity shall nevertheless be paid by the Centralising Unit, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of the Sellers, who shall make the payment of such indemnity forthwith following receipt of the notice sent by the Purchaser.

If no suitable agreement has been reached within thirty (30) calendar days following the coming into force of such event, the Commitment Expiry Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day after such an event. The Parties hereby agree that during the thirty-day period provided in the foregoing sentence, no Remaining Purchasable Receivable or Ongoing Purchasable Receivable shall be sold to the Purchaser on a Funded Settlement Date.

(xiii) any of the Transaction Documents becomes illegal or, cannot, for any reason whatsoever, be performed pursuant to their respective terms, and such illegality or inability to be performed is reasonably expected to prejudice the rights of the Purchaser in any material respect;

(xiv) a Transfer Deed becomes illegal or, cannot, for any reason whatsoever, be performed pursuant to its terms, and such illegality or inability to be performed is reasonably expected to prejudice the rights of the Purchaser;

(xv) any Collection Account Agreement is terminated for whatever reason and such Collection Account Agreement is not replaced by (a) a then existing Collection Account Agreement or (b) an equivalent collection account agreement that has been approved by the Purchaser, the Agent, the Issuers, the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

then the Purchaser may or, if all the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers (which shall be consulted by the Purchaser upon the occurrence of such an Early Amortisation Event) instruct the Purchaser to do so, the Purchaser shall terminate the appointment of each Seller for collection of the Sold Receivables by issuing or causing any other entity it has appointed for such purpose to issue to this effect:

(a) a letter sent by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt to each Seller; and

(b) subsequently, a Notice of Transfer to each of the Debtors, in accordance with the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement, provided that the cost of delivery of a

54

Notice of Transfer is borne exclusively by the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers and shall be reasonable and duly documented.

The appointment of any Seller for the purpose of the collection of any Sold Receivable shall terminate automatically on the date of receipt by the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the relevant Seller, of the letter referred to under point (a) above. As of such date, the Seller shall forthwith transfer to the credit of the relevant Purchaser’s Collection Account any amount received from the relevant Debtors relating to the Sold Receivables, in accordance with the provisions of the Collection Account Agreements (without prejudice to the rights of the Purchaser to collect sums directly from any Collection Account(s), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collection Account Agreement(s)).

The termination of the appointment of a Seller as collection agent shall not affect the obligations of such Seller under this Agreement or the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement, with the exception of those relating to the collection of the Sold Receivables. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor any of its agents shall, at any time other than following the termination of the collection mandate of the Sellers pursuant to this Article 21.3.1, contact or communicate with any Debtor in respect of any Sold Receivable or the Securitisation Transaction.

21.3.2 In addition, the Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint a (or several) Back-Up Servicer(s) for the collection of all or part of the Sold Receivables for which a Notice of Transfer has been delivered to the relevant Debtors in accordance with Article 21.3.1 above.

The Purchaser confirms that, as a condition precedent to its(their) appointment(s), the Back-Up Servicer(s) have (or will have) agreed with the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

Each Seller, upon being notified of the exercise of such a right by the Purchaser undertakes:

(i) to take all steps and do all things to enable the Back-Up Servicer(s) to take over the Seller’s undertakings as collection agent(s);

(ii) to deliver in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 (Identification of the contractual documentation for the Sold Receivables - Access to documents) and Article 31 (Confidentiality) to the Back-Up Servicer(s) any and all original copies of the contractual documentation or the computer information concerning the Sold Receivables as well as any other document as might be reasonably requested by the Back-Up Servicer(s) in order to perform its(their) obligations as servicer(s);

(iii) to transfer forthwith to the credit of the relevant Purchaser’s Collection Account, any Actual Collections relating to Sold Receivables it may directly receive from any Debtor;

(iv) to indemnify forthwith the Purchaser, for any reasonable costs and expenses duly evidenced and incurred by the latter in relation to the Notice of Transfer; and

(v) to indemnify forthwith the Purchaser, for any reasonable costs incurred by the latter due to the appointment of the Back-Up Servicer(s) to act as collection agent(s), provided that the Back-Up Servicer(s) furnishes(furnish) any documents evidencing such costs within the limits set forth in Article 27.3.

55

The Purchaser shall, immediately upon payment by the Centralising Unit, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of the Sellers, of all amounts owed to the Purchaser, (i) take all steps necessary to terminate any rights it may have with respect to any Collection Accounts, and (ii) if the Sellers’ collection mandate has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Article, revoke any collection mandate granted to the Back-Up Servicers or any other agent of the Purchaser.

21.3.3 Each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably renounces resigning from its role under the Collection Mandate referred to in this Article 21 for the duration of this Agreement. Such Collection Mandate may only be terminated in the circumstances and in accordance with the procedures provided for in the present Article or, with respect to a particular Seller, if it has ceased to be a party to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions herein, when all Sold Receivables originated by such Seller have been collected, repurchased in accordance with this Agreement or determined to be uncollectible.

21.4 Currency Exchange Rate

The German Seller and the UK Seller shall, each for the purposes of its role as collection agent pursuant to the Collection Mandate, transfer collections of the Sold Receivables received from English Debtors to the Purchaser and the Agent shall convert such collections in Euro at the Exchange Rate applicable at close of business on the Business Day preceding the last Assessement Date prior to such collections.

22. ASSESSMENT REPORT AND BACK-UP SERVICER REPORT

22.1 As long as a Seller acts as collection agent in respect of any Sold Receivable, such Seller shall draw up or cause to be drawn up, an Assessment Report in the form set out in SCHEDULE 3, which shall be delivered by the Centralising Unit acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers to the Agent on each Information Date.

22.2 In the event of the termination of the Collection Mandate, in accordance with the provisions of Article 21.3, the Purchaser or, as the case may be, the Back-Up Servicers shall draw up a Back-Up Servicer Report on each Information Date.

23. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND PAYMENTS OF COLLECTIONS

23.1 Application of Payments

Subject to any applicable laws and to the provisions of the Collection Account Agreements, any payment received by a Seller from any of its Debtors shall be applied first to Sold Receivables (before being applied to other obligations of such Debtor), unless the said Debtor has given express instruction otherwise.

56

23.2 Payment of collections

23.2.1 In so far as a Seller acts as collection agent in respect of any Sold Receivable, the Parties agree that:

(i) during the Replenishment Period, on each Settlement Date, Adjusted Collections shall be recorded and applied in the manner provided for in Article 6;

(ii) during the Replenishment Period, on each Funded Settlement Date, the Cash Collections Advance shall be transferred by the Centralising Unit to the Purchaser’s Account before 12.00 (noon) on such Settlement Date;

(iii) on each Business Day during the Amortisation Period, the Centralising Unit shall transfer to the Purchaser’s Account the Actual Collections collected on such day.

If a Seller no longer acts as collection agent in respect of any Sold Receivable, the Parties agree that the relevant Back-Up Servicer shall transfer to each relevant Purchaser’s Collection Account the Actual Collections made in relation to the Sold Receivables purchased from such Seller. Such Actual Collections shall be applied to the payments in the manner provided for in Article 6 until the Commitment Expiry Date, and thereafter, as provided for in Article 16.

23.2.2 Except as provided for in Article 23.2.1, the Sellers and the Centralising Unit shall not be required to transfer any collections to the Purchaser.

23.3 Collection Accounts

The Sellers and the Purchaser have agreed to put in place Collection Accounts in each jurisdiction in which a Seller is located in order to segregate any cash received by the Sellers, when acting in their capacity as collection agent under the foregoing provisions and the relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement. A list of the Collection Accounts as of the 2014 Amendment Date is attached in SCHEDULE 18 (List of the Collection Accounts (as of the 2014 Amendment Date)). Without prejudice and subject to the provisions of any Collection Account Agreement, the Centralising Unit shall inform the Purchaser as soon as possible of any intent to change any existing Collection Account.

A Collection Account Agreement shall be concluded in relation to each Collection Account. Further, from the 2014 Amendment Date, all Collection Accounts used by the French Seller for the purposes of the Securitisation Transaction shall be subject to the New Collection Account Agreement or any agreement substantially in the form of the New Collection Account Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 23.1 hereof and of the Collection Account Agreements, the Purchaser agrees that, in the event that the Centralising Unit provides reasonably satisfactory evidence that a payment made to any Collection Account does not relate to Sold Receivables or Retransferred Receivables, the Purchaser shall promptly authorise the return of such payment to the Centralising Unit, within the limit of the credit balance of the relevant Collection Account.

57

24. RENEGOTIATION

24.1 Authorisation to renegotiate in Insolvency Proceedings

Each Seller acting on behalf of the Purchaser may, in the context of Insolvency Proceedings relating to any Debtor (if Insolvency Proceedings apply to such Debtor), participate in the setting up of a voluntary rescheduling and may make proposals for that purpose, provided that:

(i) it complies with its obligations under Article 26 (Obligations of care); and

(ii) in the event that the Outstanding Amount of the Sold Receivables subject to such renegotiation exceeds € 1,500,000, it has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser to renegotiate.

24.2 Renegotiations as to amount and maturity date

The Purchaser agrees that each Seller, acting on behalf of the Purchaser, may issue Credit Notes, Year End Rebates or Commercial Discounts in accordance with its management procedures and accordingly modify the amount and Maturity Date of the Sold Receivables for which such Credit Notes, Year End Rebates or Commercial Discounts have been issued, provided that the Seller performs its obligations set forth under Article 28 (Deemed collections).

24.3 Other renegotiations

Subject to the provisions of Articles 24.1 and 24.2, the Purchaser authorises each Seller, acting in the name and on behalf of the Purchaser, to agree to new terms in relation to any Sold Receivable:

(a) if the Purchaser expressly consents in writing;

(b) without prior notification to or consent of the Purchaser, provided that such renegotiation:

(i) complies with its obligations under Article 26 (Obligations of care); and

(ii) does not adversely affect the rights of the Purchaser under such Sold Receivables, including any security interests, privileges and ancillary rights attached thereto; or

(c) without prior notification to or consent of the Purchaser, if such Sold Receivable is a Defaulted Receivable.

25. REPRESENTATION MANDATE

The Purchaser hereby appoints each Seller as its agent to undertake and to conduct, in the name and on behalf of the Purchaser, all proceedings in court or out of court as are necessary for the collection of the Sold Receivables, including those deeds and formalities required for such proceedings, subject to compliance with its obligations set out in Article 26 (Obligations of care). In particular, each Seller shall freely issue and conduct, in the name and on behalf of the Purchaser, all writs, pleadings, arguments, enforcement proceedings, interventions by agreement or order, defences, defences to third party proceedings, and appeals, as may be necessary in its opinion to recover the sums due under the Sold Receivables.

58

The Purchaser agrees that it shall intervene in any claims or proceedings initiated upon such Seller’s request to assist such Seller in any claims or proceedings initiated by the latter, in the event that such Seller deems it necessary or whenever required by the applicable statutory or regulatory provisions.

Each Seller agrees that it shall intervene in any claim or proceedings initiated upon the Purchaser’s request to assist the Purchaser in any claims or proceedings initiated by the Purchaser, in the event that the Purchaser deems it necessary or whenever required by the applicable statutory or regulatory provisions, provided that the Purchaser shall only be entitled to initiate any such claim or proceeding in the event that (i) the collection mandate of the Sellers has been terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article 21.3 or (ii) after the Program Expiry Date, any amount remains due to the Purchaser under any of the Transaction Documents.

Furthermore, the Purchaser authorises each Seller to issue, as appropriate, a subrogation receipt to any third party in return for any full and irrevocable payment made by that third party in substitution for any Debtor.

Any expenses incurred by each Seller in carrying out its mandate shall be borne exclusively by such Seller.

26. OBLIGATIONS OF CARE

Each Seller undertakes to act in the collection of the sums due under the Sold Receivables in accordance with the standards of a prudent and informed businessman, and to be no less diligent than it would be in collecting sums due under its own receivables, and in particular:

(i) to apply to the collection of the sums due under the Sold Receivables, procedures that comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations and the contracts underlying the Sold Receivables;

(ii) to take such measures as may reasonably be required to ensure that all Liens, rights, claims, privileges and other benefits (droits accessoires) attached to the Sold Receivables, remain in force and are exercised in a timely fashion;

(iii) to take such steps as are reasonably necessary to oppose any claim challenging the existence, validity, amount or maturity of the Sold Receivables or the Liens, rights, claims, privileges and other benefits attached thereto, if any;

(iv) to take such steps, including without limitation any legal actions such as proceedings in court, as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate for the collection of the sums due under the Sold Receivables; and

(v) to take such steps to cause any attachment, seizure (saisie) or any other enforcement measure levied or applied against any accounts where the sums due pursuant to the collection of Sold Receivables are received, to be released or withdrawn within thirty (30) calendar days.

59

27. COMMISSION FOR AND COSTS OF COLLECTION

27.1 The Parties agree that the Sellers to whom such tasks are delegated shall not receive a commission or remuneration for providing the collection service.

27.2 Each Seller shall bear its own costs incurred in the course of providing the collection service, without any claim against the Purchaser, for reimbursement. The termination of the mandate granted to the Sellers in Article 21 (Collection of Sold Receivables) shall not give to the Sellers any right to compensation.

27.3 In the event that a (or several) Back-Up Servicer(s) is(are) appointed to act as agent for the collection of all or part of the Sold Receivables pursuant to the terms of Article 21.3, such Back-Up Servicer(s) shall be entitled to receive from the Centralising Unit, acting on behalf of the Sellers, a fee to be agreed from time to time between the Purchaser and the Back Up Servicer on any Funded Settlement Date following its appointment until the Program Expiry Date. The Parties acknowledge that the payment of such fee shall be expressly excluded from the Current Account mechanism.

In the event that the Centralising Unit fails to pay the amounts referred to under this Article 27.3 on any Funded Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall proceed forthwith to the payment of such amounts, on the Centralising Unit’s behalf. As such, the Purchaser shall be, upon delivery of a subrogation notice (quittance subrogative) by the Back-Up Servicer(s), subrogated in the rights of the Back-Up Servicer(s) against the Centralising Unit to the extent of the sums paid to the Back-Up Servicer(s).

27.4 Stand-by servicing

27.4.1 Upon the occurrence of a Collection Rating Trigger Event, the Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint any Stand-By Servicer(s) for the preparation and putting in place of any back-up servicer procedure.

27.4.2 On each Funded Settlement Date as from the appointment of any Stand-By Servicer(s) and until the appointment of a Back-Up Servicer pursuant to Article 21.3, the Centralising Unit shall pay to such Stand-By Servicer(s) a Stand-By Fee whose aim shall be to compensate the Stand-By Servicer’s undertaking to act as back-up servicer upon request during the term of the Agreement. The maximum amount of such Stand-By Fee shall be equal to, for the first year following the 2014 Amendment Date, €200,000 (exclusive of VAT) (for the up-front part), and €200,000 per annum (exclusive of VAT) (for the on-going part) and, if different, shall afterwards be agreed on or about each anniversary date of such 2008 Amendment Date between the Purchaser and the Stand-By Servicer. The Parties acknowledge that the payment of such Stand-By Fee shall be expressly excluded from the Current Account mechanism.

27.4.3 In addition, in the event that the Purchaser exercises any of its rights to collect sums directly from any Collection Account(s), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collection Account Agreement(s), the Centralising Unit shall pay to the Agent a fee equal to € 500 per Collection Account (VAT excluded) on the Funded Settlement Date following the exercise by the Purchaser

60

of such right. The Parties acknowledge that the payment of such fees shall be expressly excluded from the Current Account mechanism.

27.4.4 In the event that the Centralising Unit fails to pay any fees described in the present Article 27.4 in a timely manner, the Purchaser shall proceed forthwith with the payment of such fees, on the Centralising Unit’s behalf to the extent of the Adjusted Collections received. As such, the Purchaser shall be, upon delivery of a subrogation notice by the Stand-By Servicer, subrogated in the rights of the Stand-By Servicer against the Centralising Unit to the extent of the sums paid to the Stand-By Servicer in respect of these fees.

27.5 Data Protection Trustee

27.5.1 The Data Protection Trustee Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of a Collection Rating Trigger Event, the Purchaser shall be entitled to replace the then existing Data Protection Trustee by any substitute Data Protection Trustee. The Centralising Unit, acting on behalf of the German Seller, shall pay to the Data Protection Trustee the compensation contemplated in the Data Protection Trustee Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the payment of such compensation shall be expressly excluded from the Current Account mechanism.

27.5.2 In the event that the Centralising Unit fails to pay the compensation described in the present Article 27.5, the Purchaser shall proceed with the payment of such compensation, on the Centralising Unit’s behalf to the extent of the Adjusted Collections received. As such, the Purchaser shall be, upon delivery of a subrogation notice by the Data Protection Trustee, subrogated in the rights of the Data Protection Trustee against the Centralising Unit to the extent of the sums paid to the Data Protection Trustee in respect of this compensation.

CHAPTER XI

DEEMED COLLECTIONS

28. DEEMED COLLECTIONS

28.1 Upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

(i) the issue of any Credit Notes or Commercial Discounts as referred to in Article 24.2, in relation to any Sold Receivables;

(ii) any contract, which gives rise to a Sold Receivable, has been terminated and the relevant goods have been billed but remain to be delivered by any Seller, in whole or in part, on the termination date of such contract;

(iii) any set-off agreed by any Seller or by operation of law or by a court decision between debts owed to any Debtor and the Sold Receivables against such Debtor;

(iv) any Sold Receivable has been cancelled, in whole or in part;

(v) any Amended Invoice arises;

(vi) the issue of any Credit Note over Snow Tires, in relation to any Sold Receivables; or

61

(vii) the issue of any Year End Rebates, in relation to any Sold Receivables, unless such Year End Rebates have been cancelled or paid in cash by the relevant Seller;

the relevant Seller shall be deemed to have received the amount it would have collected if such event had not occurred (the “Deemed Collection”), provided that no Deemed Collection shall be due as a result of a Debtor’s failure, independent from and beyond one Seller’s control and from any of (i) through (vii) above, to make payments in respect of Sold Receivables.

Moreover, given the internal billing procedures of each Seller, it may be the case that certain Sold Receivables are declared by a Seller as being extinguished partially or completely, in an Assessment Report and/or in any electronic file attached thereto, even though such Sold Receivables have not been fully paid by their respective Debtors (the “Deemed Extinguished Receivables”). Therefore, in order to offset the absence of any payment of cash collections arising in relation to such Deemed Extinguished Receivables, such Deemed Extinguished Receivables shall be considered as a Deemed Collection and shall be paid pursuant to Articles 28.2 and 28.3.

28.2 The relevant Sellers, the Centralising Unit and the Agent shall cooperate to determine the amount of Deemed Collections, provided that:

(i) during the Replenishment Period, the amount of Deemed Collections shall be debited from the Current Account through the adjustment of Adjusted Collections (as provided in the definition of such term);

(ii) during the Amortisation Period, the amount of Deemed Collections shall be transferred by the Centralising Unit to the Purchaser’s Account on each Funded Settlement Date and on each Intermediary Settlement Date.

28.3 In the event that any Seller or, as the case may be, the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, fails to pay any Deemed Collections as required pursuant to Article 28.2 (ii), the Purchaser may automatically set-off (a) the amount of such Deemed Collections against (b) any amount due or thereafter to become due to such Seller or, as the case may be, to the Centralising Unit, under the Transaction Documents. As soon as practicable, the Purchaser shall notify the Centralising Unit after exercise of its right of set-off.

In the event that, notwithstanding such set-off, Deemed Collections still remain unpaid, the Purchaser shall have recourse against the relevant Seller’s assets or, as the case may be, against the Centralising Unit’s assets, but only to the extent of the amounts remaining unpaid.

Any unpaid Deemed Collection shall remain outstanding until it has been paid in full in accordance with the present Article 28.3.

62

CHAPTER XII

MISCELLANEOUS

29. FEES AND EXPENSES

The Centralising Unit acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers shall reimburse the Purchaser, acting for its own account and/or as proxy for (i) any reasonable and duly documented expenses (including legal fees, costs and expenses) arising out of any modification, waiver or amendment of the Transaction Documents to which the Centralising Unit and/or the Sellers are a party and requested by the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers, or the Rating Agencies, (ii) any reasonable and duly documented expenses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the perfection, preservation and/or enforcement of the rights of the Purchaser, the Issuers, the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers under the Securitisation Transaction or (iii) any reasonable and duly documented expenses (including legal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the renewal of any Liquidity Agreement or Fund Subscription Agreement and, as the case may be, in connection with the implementation of an alternative funding described in any Bank Commitment Letter, subject to prior communication by the Purchaser to the Centralising Unit of an estimate of fees in the event that the Centralising Unit requests this estimate.

30. SUBSTITUTION AND AGENCY

Each Party shall have the right to be assisted by, to appoint or to substitute for itself one or more third parties in the performance of certain tasks provided that:

(i) such Party has given prior written notice to the other Party and, in any case, the Purchaser has notified the Rating Agencies;

(ii) such Party remains liable to the other Party for the proper performance of those tasks and the relevant third party (parties) has (have) expressly renounced any right to any contractual claim against the other Party;

(iii) the relevant third party (parties) undertake(s) to comply with all obligations binding upon such Party under this Agreement;

(iv) the Rating Agencies have confirmed that the contemplated change will not entail a downgrading or withdrawal of the current rating of the Notes issued by the Issuers or that the contemplated change will reduce such downgrading or prevent such withdrawal; and

(v) each other Party has given prior written consent to this appointment and/or substitution, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

31. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party agrees to treat all information of any kind transmitted by any other Party in connection with the Securitisation Transaction as confidential. The Parties agree not to disclose such information to any other person and to ensure that their respective personnel similarly respect the confidential nature of such information.

63

This provision shall not prevent:

(i) either Party from transmitting such information as may be required by its statutory auditors, public organisations or any governmental, regulatory, fiscal, or monetary institution or other authority, in so far as it is obliged to do so by the applicable laws and regulations in force;

(ii) the Purchaser from transmitting such information to any person who will provide or will undertake to provide directly or indirectly funds to the Purchaser or any agent appointed by the Purchaser pursuant to Article 20 (Identification of the contractual documentation for the Sold Receivables - Access to Documents), provided that the Purchaser undertakes that such person shall be bound to treat such information as confidential under the same terms and subject to the same conditions as provided for in the Transaction Documents;

(iii) the Purchaser from using any original or duplicate copy of the contractual documentation or any computer information referred to in Article 20 (Identification of the contractual documentation for the Sold Receivables-Access to documents) of this Agreement in order to take all such measures deemed necessary by the Purchaser to preserve, and/or enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation any legal actions;

(iv) either Party from providing the Rating Agencies with any information they may require;

(v) either Party from transmitting such information as may be in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Article or a breach of any other confidentiality obligation;

(vi) subject to GOODYEAR’s prior written consent, CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK, the Issuers, the Liquidity Banks and the Fund Subscribers from using exclusively the following information: the amount involved in the Securitisation Transaction, the countries concerned, the number of Sellers, the structure of the transaction, the identity of the legal counsel involved in the Securitisation Transaction, the closing date of the Securitisation Transaction, the maturity of the Securitisation Transaction and the identity of the parties to the Securitisation Transaction; and

(vii) the Purchaser and CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK from transmitting such information to any other person involved in the Securitisation Transaction, provided that the Purchaser and the CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK undertake that such person shall be bound to treat such information as confidential under the same terms and subject to the same conditions as provided for in the Transaction Documents.

This obligation to preserve confidentiality shall remain valid for ten (10) years from the Program Expiry Date.

32. NOTICES

32.1 Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, all notices, requests or communications which must or may be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be by way of writing, mail or fax.

32.2 All notices, requests or communications to be made and all documents to be delivered from one Party to the other Party under the Transaction Documents shall be made and delivered to the addressees referred to in SCHEDULE 6 (and in the case of the Sellers, to the Centralising Unit, acting in the name and on behalf of the Sellers).

33. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS – RECOURSE – NO PETITION

33.1 All rights conferred on the Purchaser by this Agreement or by any other document delivered pursuant to or incidental to this Agreement, including rights conferred by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised at any time.

33.2 The fact that a Party does not exercise a right or delays doing so shall in no way be treated as a waiver of that right. The exercise of one right or a partial exercise shall not prevent any Party from exercising such a right in the future, or from exercising any other right.

33.3 Limited Recourse

The Centralising Unit, the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Sellers waive any right that they may have to initiate any proceeding whatsoever in relation to the contractual liability (responsabilité contractuelle) of the Purchaser, except in the case of its own gross negligence (faute lourde) or willful misconduct (dol) and agree to limit their claims and recourse against the Purchaser (including in the event of a breach by the Purchaser of any of its representations and warranties, or any of its obligations hereunder) to the amount of the Available Funds on the relevant date.

33.4 Any recourse of the Purchaser against the Sellers, the Centralising Unit or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees in relation to the non payment by any Debtors of any sums due under the Sold Receivables, shall be limited to the amount of the Subordinated Deposit and, to the extent provided in Article 16, the Complementary Deposit.

34. TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement is entered into on the intuitu personae of the Parties. It is agreed that none of the Parties may transfer this Agreement, or the rights and obligations under this Agreement, to any third party whatsoever without the prior written consent of all the other Parties.

35. AMENDMENT TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

35.1 No amendment to the Transaction Documents may be made without the written consent of each other party thereto and (a) unless the Rating Agencies (i) have been informed and provided by the Joint Lead Arrangers with all necessary details they may require in respect of such contemplated amendment and (ii) have confirmed that the contemplated amendment will not entail a downgrading or withdrawal of the current ratings of the Notes issued by the Issuer and, as the case may be, of the senior units issued by the Fund, or that the contemplated amendment will reduce such downgrading or prevent such withdrawal, and (b) each Issuer, each Liquidity Bank and each Fund Subscriber has given its prior written consent to such amendment (such consent not being unreasonably withheld or delayed).

35.2 Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents may be amended with the prior consent of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Agent, the Purchaser (having obtained the prior consent of the Refinanced Seller) and the Centralising Unit, acting for itself and in the name and on behalf of each of the Sellers and without the explicit specific prior written consent of the Sellers in each of the following cases :

(i) the accession of any New Seller, provided that the conditions of Article 40 (Accession of New Sellers) are met;

(ii) amendments to the definition of Eligible Receivable, Eligible Debtor, Remaining Purchasable Receivable, Ongoing Purchasable Receivables, Refinanced Eligible Receivable, Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivable, Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables and other definitions relating to the inclusion of cross border receivables, and amendments to related representations and warranties, provided that any such amendment shall require the explicit written consent of the Seller or Sellers that shall sell such cross border receivables;

(iii) addition of new Liquidity Banks, Fund Subscribers and Issuers to the Securitisation Documents;

(iv) any changes to the calculation formulae of the Discount Rate, the Discount Reserve Rate and the Deferred Purchase Price under the Receivables Purchase Agreements and changes to the provisions of Article 10 above; and

66

(i) the underlying contract from which the receivable arises (a) is governed by French law and (b) is characterised as a contract of sale of tyres and activities relating thereto;

(ii) the French Seller has performed its obligations under the commercial contract with the relevant Eligible Debtor that gave rise to the receivable, the receivable has been invoiced and any contract relating to any security securing such receivable (a) is valid and enforceable, (b) is the basis of legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the French Seller and the relevant Eligible Debtor to the contract and provider of the related security, and (c) complies with any applicable consumer protection laws and/or regulations; any consent, approval and/or authorisation which might be required for the execution and performance of such contract or with respect to such security has been obtained;

(iii) the French Seller has had full title to the Remaining Purchasable Receivable since it was originated, except (x) if it was sold by the French Seller and repurchased by the French Seller on or before the Initial Settlement Date and (y) if it has been previously sold and transferred to the Purchaser and such transfer has been rescinded;

(iv) there is no impediment to the transfer of the receivable to the Purchaser; in particular, the receivable is not wholly or partly the subject of any assignment, delegation (délégation), subrogation, attachment or seizure (saisie) whatsoever, or of any security interest, lien, in rem or personal right in favour of a third party or encumbrance whatsoever and the receivable is not contractually required to be transferred or assigned by the French Seller to any entity with whom the French Seller had entered into a factoring agreement, receivables purchase agreement or similar arrangement prior to the 2014 Amendment Date;

(v) there is no adverse claim on such receivable arising from retention of title arrangements (whether ordinary or extended) with the suppliers of the French Seller, and such receivable is not subject to any other Lien than a Lien which would be permitted under Article 12.1.2 (vii);

(x) the relevant Eligible Debtor cannot raise any valid defence, with the exception of a defence resulting solely from the application of the law, and in particular any defence of set-off, against payment of any amount relating to the receivable, unless such set off is duly recorded in the electronic support identifying such receivable and sent to the Agent as for the relevant Settlement Date;

(xi) the sale and assignment of such receivable, together with any related security, is valid and effective against creditors of the relevant Seller and other third parties and does not violate any duty of confidentiality, any data protection provisions nor any contractual or other legal restrictions binding on or affecting such Seller or such receivable;

In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon payment of a penalty, the Attributable Debt shall be the lesser of (i) the Attributable Debt determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the Attributable Debt shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) and (ii) the Attributable Debt determined assuming no such termination.

“Capitalized Lease Obligations” means an obligation that is required to be classified and accounted for as a capitalized lease for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP, and the amount of Indebtedness represented by such obligation shall be the capitalized amount of such obligation determined in accordance with GAAP.

“Capital Stock” of any Person means any and all shares, interests, rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) equity of such Person, including any Preferred Stock, but excluding any debt securities convertible into such entity.

“Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA” means, for any period, the Consolidated J.V. Net Income for such period, minus, to the extent included in calculating such Consolidated J.V.

(c) depreciation expense of the European J.V. and the Consolidated Restricted J.V. Subsidiaries:

Subsidiaries, in each case for such period (other than normal accruals in the ordinary course of business).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision for taxes based on the income or profits of, and the depreciation and amortization and noncash charges of, a Restricted J.V. Subsidiary shall be added to Consolidated J.V. Net Income to compute Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income of such Restricted J.V. Subsidiary was included in calculating Consolidated J.V. Net Income and only if (A) a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the European J.V. by such Restricted J.V. Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments, judgments, decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to such Restricted J.V.

Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by a Financial Officer of the European J. V.) pursuant to intercompany loans, repurchases of Capital Stock or otherwise, provided that to the extent cash of such Foreign Restricted J.V. Subsidiary provided the basis for including the net income of such subsidiary in Consolidated J.V. Net Income pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated J. Net Income”, such cash shall not be taken into account for the purposes of determining readily procurable cash under this clause (B). Consolidated European J.V.

SCHEDULE 16C CALCULATION OF THE DISCOUNT RATE

On each Funded Settlement Date, the Discount Rate shall be the result of the following formula:

[(Program Fees Component + Interest Component + Servicing Fees Component)

*

(Outstanding Amount of Remaining Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Originated Ongoing Receivables)

/

(Outstanding Amount of Sold Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables)

+

(Subordinated Deposit Fee Component + Complementary Deposit Fee Component)

-

(Refinanced Discount Amount)

/

(Outstanding Amount of Remaining Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Originated Ongoing Purchasable Receivables)

Where:

1. Subordinated Deposit Fee Component is equal to: Subordinated Deposit Fee * (Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Originated Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables).

Subordinated Deposit Fees = €104,000 * Refinanced DSO Component / Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables as of such Funded Settlement Date

2. Complementary Deposit Fee Component is equal to: Complementary Deposit Fee * (Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables + Outstanding Amount of Originated Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables)

Complementary Deposit Fees = €36,000 * Refinanced DSO Component / Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables as of such Funded Settlement Date

3. Refinanced Discount Amount = Refinanced Discount Rate as of the preceding Funded Settlement Date x (Outstanding Amount of Originated Refinanced Ongoing Purchasable Receivables + the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced New Non Allocated Cash) + Refinanced Discount Rate as of such Settlement Date x (Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Remaining Purchasable Receivables - the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Net

193

Miscellaneous Receivables + the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced New Non Allocated Cash to the extent not already covered above).

With “Refinanced New Non Allocated Cash” means, on any Settlement Date, any Refinanced Non Allocated Cash which is recorded in the Refinanced Seller’s accounting system and which has not previously been reported by the Refinanced Seller before the Assessment Date preceding such Settlement Date.

On each Funded Settlement Date, the Refinanced Discount Rate shall be calculated as the sum of: Refinanced Program Fee Component + Refinanced Servicing Fees Component + Refinanced Provision for Financing.

3.1 Refinanced Program Fee Component = €54,000 * Refinanced DSO Component / Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables as of such Funded Settlement Date,

where:

• Refinanced DSO Component is equal to Refinanced DSO / 360,

• Refinanced DSO (“Day Sales Outstanding”) means , in relation to the refinanced portfolio, the ratio between (i) the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables(m) and (ii) the sum of Italian Turnover(m) + Italian Turnover(m-1) + Italian Turnover(m-2), divided by 90.

3.2 Refinanced Servicing Fees Component shall be equal to the sum of:

• €100,000 relating to the annual servicing fee of the Agent and the annual standby back up servicing fee (VAT included) (whether or not such fee is due and payable), divided by the Outstanding Amount of Refinanced Sold Receivables as of such Funded Settlement Date, and

• 48 bps per annum relating to the provision for back up servicing activation (VAT included) (whether or not such fee is due and payable),

3.3 Refinanced Provision For Financing = (EURIBOR + a spread of 250 bps) * the Refinanced DSO Component + Subordinated Deposit Fee + Complementary Deposit Fee,

with EURIBOR designating the EURIBOR 1 month known on the Business Day immediately preceding the Information Date preceding the relevant Calculation Date.
