- 5 - 7 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- CONSOLIDATED - ------------ Sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $3.32 billion, compared to $3.33 billion in the 1996 quarter. Net income in the quarter was $192.2 million ($1.23 per share), increasing 2.3% from net income of $187.9 million ($1.22 per share) in 1996. In the six months, sales were $6.55 billion, compared to $6.57 billion in 1996. Net income of $362.6 million ($2.32 per share) increased 6.7% from net income of $339.7 million ($2.20 per share) in the 1996 period. Worldwide tire unit sales in the second quarter and six months increased 4.4% and 4.0%, respectively, from 1996's levels, and unit sales of other automotive and industrial rubber products were higher in both periods. Worldwide original equipment volume increased significantly in both periods, although replacement volume and pricing remained soft. Revenues in both periods reflected continued worldwide competitive pricing pressures, a shift in sales mix towards original equipment tires and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in 1997 versus European and Asian currencies. In addition, results were adversely affected by a strike against the Company by the United Steel Workers of America, A.F.L.-C.I.O.-C.L.C. (USWA), as discussed below, and other strikes against various U.S. original equipment manufacturers. Competitive pricing pressures are expected to continue throughout 1997. Cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 1997 increased to 76.4% of sales from 76.1% in the 1996 quarter, and was 76.3% of sales in the first six months of 1997 and 1996. Both 1997 periods benefited from lower raw material costs and the effects of currency translation compared to the prior year. Costs in 1997 were adversely affected by an 18-day strike against the Company by the USWA at 10 U.S. tire and engineered products manufacturing facilities, which costs were not fully recovered through productivity gains. -6- 8 Other (income) and expense in the first six months of 1997 decreased versus last year's six months due primarily to the inclusion in the 1996 period of a $6.5 million charge related to improvements in manufacturing efficiencies in Brazil. In addition, the second quarter of 1996 included a net pretax gain of $1.6 million, comprised of charges totaling $31.2 million related to rationalizations and other provisions and a gain of $32.8 million on the sale of business property in Asia. Foreign currency exchange expense was lower in the six months due primarily to the favorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the Company's net currency exposures. Net income in the second quarter and six months also benefited from a lower effective tax rate compared to the 1996 periods. SEGMENT INFORMATION - ------------------- Segment operating income in the second quarter of 1997 was $339.2 million, increasing 6.5% from $318.4 million in the 1996 quarter. Segment operating margin rose to 10.2% of sales from 9.6% in the 1996 period. In the six months, segment operating income was $668.2 million, increasing 6.2% from $629.2 million in the 1996 period. Segment operating margin rose to 10.2% of sales from 9.6% in the 1996 six months. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS - -----------------

In the six months, sales of $5.58 billion decreased slightly from $5.60 billion in 1996. Unit sales in both the quarter and six months increased in all international regions, and were higher in the U.S. in the six months. Revenues reflected worldwide competitive pricing pressures, a shift in worldwide unit sales mix towards original equipment tires, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus currencies in Europe and Asia and reduced demand in the U.S. resulting from strikes against original equipment manufacturers. The following table presents changes in tire unit sales: Increase (Decrease) in Company Tire Unit Sales-1997 vs. 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------

Tire segment operating income in the second quarter of 1997 was $265.1 million, increasing 6.7% from $248.4 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $532.0 million increased 6.2% from $500.8 million in 1996. Operating income in both the quarter and six months reflected lower raw material costs, but was adversely affected by increased costs and lower revenues resulting from the previously discussed strike against the Company. Operating income in the 1996 quarter and six months was reduced by charges totaling $26.9 million and $32.5 million, respectively, related to rationalizations and other provisions and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. GENERAL PRODUCTS - ---------------- Sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $460.8 million, decreasing 1.1% from $466.2 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales of $917.4 million increased 1.3% from $906.0 million in 1996. Sales increased in the quarter and six months in engineered products on higher unit volume of automotive and industrial rubber products. Sales in chemical products decreased in both periods due to lower selling prices and reduced volume. - 8 - 10 Operating income in the second quarter was $58.5 million, increasing 14.2% from $51.3 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $104.8 million increased 12.7% from $93.0 million in 1996. Operating income increased in the quarter and six months in engineered products due to lower raw material costs and ongoing cost containment measures. Chemical operating income increased in both periods due primarily to lower manufacturing costs and a more favorable product mix. Operating income in the 1996 quarter and six months was reduced by charges totaling $4.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively, related to rationalizations and other provisions and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. OIL TRANSPORTATION - ------------------ Sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $25.6 million, decreasing 25.4% from $34.3 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales were $50.1 million, decreasing 24.4% from $66.2 million in 1996. Operating income in the second quarter was $15.6 million, decreasing 16.7% from $18.7 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income was $31.4 million, decreasing 11.4% from $35.4 million in 1996. Sales and operating income decreased in the quarter and six months due primarily to lower throughput and reduced spreads in purchasing, selling and exchanging activities. Margins were favorably impacted by lower depreciation expense resulting from the writedown of the All American Pipeline System and related assets in the fourth quarter of 1996. - 9 - 11 GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS - -------------------

In the United States, sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $1.72 billion, decreasing 3.8% from $1.79 billion in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales of $3.43 billion decreased 2.4% from $3.52 billion in 1996. Unit sales of tires and engineered products in the U.S. decreased in the quarter but were higher in the six months. Revenues decreased in both periods due primarily to competitive tire pricing pressures, reduced volume in chemical products, lower revenues in oil transportation operations and the effects of the strike against the Company and strikes against U.S. original equipment manufacturers. U.S. operating income in the second quarter of 1997 was $138.6 million, increasing 5.3% from $131.8 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $280.8 million increased 7.9% from $260.3 million in 1996. Operating income in the quarter and six months reflected lower raw material costs, lower SAG and the effects of cost containment measures, but was adversely affected in both periods by the previously mentioned strikes. Operating income in both the 1996 quarter and six months was reduced by charges totaling $12.6 million related to rationalizations and other provisions. In Europe, sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $805.3 million, increasing 5.1% from $766.2 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales of $1.57 billion increased 2.6% from $1.53 billion in 1996. - 10 - 12 Second quarter operating income in Europe was $91.7 million, increasing 5.0% from $87.3 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $171.3 million increased 2.7% from $166.7 million in 1996. Operating income in both the second quarter and six months of 1996 was reduced by a $15.0 million charge related to rationalizations and other provisions. Sales and operating income in Europe were favorably impacted in both 1997 periods by the acquisition of a majority interest in tire and engineered products manufacturing and distribution operations in South Africa. Revenues were adversely affected by currency translation and competitive pricing pressures. Operating income benefited from lower raw material costs and productivity improvements. In Latin America, sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $401.9 million, increasing 3.0% from $390.4 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales of $785.0 million increased 1.7% from $771.8 million in 1996. Second quarter operating income in Latin America was $71.8 million, increasing 6.7% from $67.2 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $140.1 million increased 1.2% from $138.4 million in 1996. Operating income in the 1996 quarter and six months was reduced by charges totaling $3.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively, related to rationalizations and other provisions and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. Sales and operating income in Latin America were favorably impacted in the quarter and six months by higher unit sales of tires and engineered products, lower raw material costs and the effects of ongoing cost containment measures. Results were adversely affected by competitive pricing pressures. In Asia, sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $209.4 million, decreasing 2.7% from $215.2 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, sales of $408.7 million decreased 2.3% from $418.2 million in 1996. Second quarter operating income in Asia was $22.8 million, decreasing 11.6% from $25.7 million in the 1996 period. In the six months, operating income of $50.3 million decreased 1.9% from $51.2 million in 1996. Tire unit sales in Asia increased and operating income in the Asian tire business was higher in both the second quarter and six months, reflecting lower raw material costs and the effects of cost containment and productivity measures on manufacturing costs and SAG. Sales and operating income in the segment decreased in both periods due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus Asian currencies and lower results in natural rubber operations. - 11 - 13 Sales and operating income of the Asia segment reflect the results of the Company's majority-owned tire business and other operations in the region, principally the engineered products and natural rubber businesses. In addition, the Company owns a 50% interest in South Pacific Tyres Ltd (SPT), the largest tire manufacturer, marketer and exporter in Australia and New Zealand. Results of operations of SPT are not reported in segment results, and are reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of income using the equity method.

At June 30, 1997, 1,478,200 shares have been repurchased under the February 1997 plan at an average cost of $53.06. The Company actively manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix, within defined limitations, using refinancings and unleveraged interest rate swaps. The Company enters into fixed and floating interest rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates. At June 30, 1997 the interest rate on 53% of the Company's debt was fixed by either the nature of the obligation or through the interest rate swaps. - 13 - 15 Interest rate swaps in place and related weighted average interest rates follow:

Fixed rate contracts with notional principal amounts totaling $100 million matured in the second quarter of 1997. Substantial short term and long term credit sources are available to the Company globally under normal commercial practices. At June 30, 1997 the Company had short term uncommitted credit arrangements totaling $1.53 billion, of which $789 million were unused. The Company also had available long term credit arrangements at June 30, 1997 totaling $2.07 billion, of which $1.2 billion were unused. In order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency denominated cash flows, the Company was a party to various forward exchange contracts at June 30, 1997. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. The contract maturities match the maturities of the currency positions. The future value of these contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. Funds generated by operations, together with funds available under existing credit arrangements, are expected to be sufficient to meet currently anticipated funding requirements. - 14 - 16 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION - SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Certain information set forth herein (other than historical data and information) may constitute forward-looking statements regarding events and trends which may affect the Company's future operating results and financial position.

OTHER INFORMATION -------------------------- ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. - ------- ------------------ Reference is made to the Annual Report of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the "Company") on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the "Annual Report"), wherein at Item 3, pages 13, 14, 15, and 16, the Company reported certain legal proceedings. The Company reports the following developments in respect of one of the legal proceedings described at Item 3 of the Annual Report. As reported at paragraph (C) of Item 3 of the Annual Report, in September of 1990, a civil action, Eastman Kodak Company, et al. v. Goodyear, et al. (No. CIV-2-90-221), was filed by Eastman in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Northeastern Division, whereunder Eastman alleged infringement of a patent, which expired in December of 1994, in respect of certain processes used in the manufacture of polyester resin on ten production lines at the Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia polyester resin plant owned and operated by the Company until December 18, 1992, when it was sold to Shell Oil Company. Eastman sought monetary damages trebled for alleged willfulness, interest and costs. The Company counterclaimed against Eastman alleging, among other things, antitrust law violations, which counterclaims were dismissed by the trial court. The trial court also ruled that the patent did not cover the processes used in eight of the plant's production lines and, therefore, dismissed all infringement claims except with respect to two of the plant's production lines. On April 28, 1995, a jury rendered a verdict finding liability and assessing damages, having decided that the Company and Shell had infringed the patent in the operation of said two production lines but that such infringement was not willful. A judgment of $12,000,000, plus prejudgment and postjudgment interest thereon (approximately $8,500,000 through June 30, 1997) and court costs, was entered against the Company. The Company and Eastman appealed to the Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit, which affirmed the decisions of the trial court on May 26, 1997, except that the Company's tort claim was reinstated. On June 3, 1997, the Company petitioned the Court of Appeals for Rehearing In Banc, which appeal was denied on July 2, 1997. The Company is in the process of determining whether to appeal to the United States Supreme Court, pursue the tort claim in the District Court, or both, or to terminate its defense of this action. Review of this civil action by the Supreme Court would be at its discretion. ITEM 4.

Stock Options may be granted in addition to, or in tandem with or independent of Stock Appreciation Rights or other grants and Awards under the Plan. The Committee may grant Stock Options that provide for the automatic grant of a replacement Stock Option if payment of the exercise price and/or any related withholding taxes is made by tendering (whether by physical delivery or by attestation) shares of Common Stock or by having shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company. The replacement Stock Option would cover the number of shares of Common Stock tendered or withheld, would have a per share exercise price equal to at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the exercise of the original Stock Option, and would have such other terms and conditions as may be specified by the Committee and set forth in the related grant agreement. (b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any officer of the Company and any other Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary may be granted Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the Employees to whom Stock Options will be granted, the timing of such grants, and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Stock Option granted; provided, that (i) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued and delivered upon the exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be fourteen million, (ii) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued and delivered upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be five million, (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Stock Options may be granted to any Employee during any calendar year shall be 500,000, and (iv) in respect of Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Incentive Stock Option becomes exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000, or such other limit as may be required by the Code, except that, if authorized by the Committee and provided for in the related grant agreement, any portion of any Incentive Stock Option that cannot be exercised as such because of this limitation may be converted into and exercised as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. In no event shall any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right be granted to a Participant in exchange for the Participant's agreement to the cancellation of one or more Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights then held by such Participant if the exercise price of the new grant is lower than the exercise price of the grant to be cancelled and in no event shall any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right be amended to reduce the option price, except as contemplated by Section 4(b) of the Plan. (c) OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee prior to or at the time of grant, but in no event shall the per share exercise price of any Stock Option be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of such Stock Option. (d) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; except that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed ten years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted. (e) EXERCISABILITY. A Stock Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at the date of grant; provided, however, -5- X-10-1-5 6 that no Stock Option shall be exercisable during the first six months after the date such Stock Option is granted.

(f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, plus any required withholding taxes, in cash or, if permitted by the terms of the related grant agreement or otherwise approved in advance by the Committee, in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. The Committee may also permit Participants, either on a selective or aggregate basis, to simultaneously exercise Stock Options and sell the shares of Common Stock thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar arrangement approved in advance by the Committee and to use the proceeds from such sale to pay the exercise price and withholding taxes. 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. (a) IN GENERAL. Stock Appreciation Rights in respect of shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Plan alone, in tandem with, in addition to or independent of a Stock Option or other grant or Award under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right entitles a Participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or such other higher price as may be set by the Committee, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. (b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any officer of the Company and any other Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary selected by the Committee may be granted Stock Appreciation Rights.

(c) EXERCISABILITY; EXERCISE; FORM OF PAYMENT. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant at such time or times and in such manner as shall be authorized by the Committee and set forth in the related grant agreement, except that in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable within the first six months after the date of grant. The Committee may provide that a Stock Appreciation Right shall be automatically exercised on one or more specified dates. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the time of exercise an Employee and has been continuously an Employee since the date the Stock Appreciation Right was granted, except that the Committee may permit the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right for any period following the Participant's termination of employment not in excess of the original term of the Stock Appreciation Right on such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specify in the related grant agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving the Company a written notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Stock Appreciation Rights may be paid upon exercise in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee. -6- X-10-1-6 7 8.RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS AND AWARDS.

The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the officers of the Company and other key Employees eligible to receive Performance Grants. At the time each Performance Grant is made, the Committee shall establish the Performance Period, the Performance Measure and the targets to be attained relative to such Performance Measure (the "Performance Goals") in respect of such Performance Grant. The number of shares of Common Stock and/or the amount of cash earned and payable in settlement of a Performance Grant shall be determined at the end of the Performance Period (a "Performance Award"). (b) LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS AND AWARDS. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Performance Grants shall be three million.

Each Performance Grant shall provide that, in order for a Participant to receive an Award of all or a portion of the Units subject to such Performance Grant, the Company must achieve certain Performance Goals over a designated Performance Period having a minimum duration of one year, with attainment of the Performance Goals determined using a specific Performance Measure. The Performance Goals and Performance Period shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall establish a Performance Measure for each Performance Period for determining the portion of the Performance Grant which will be earned or forfeited based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded. In setting Performance Goals, the Committee may use a Performance Measure based on any one, or on any combination, of the following Company performance factors as the Committee deems appropriate: (i) Cumulative Net Income Per Share; (ii) Cumulative Net Income; (iii) return on sales; (iv) total shareholder return; (v) return on assets; (vi) economic value added; (vii) cash flow; (viii) return on equity; and (ix) cumulative operating income (which shall equal consolidated sales minus cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and general expense).

Payment in settlement of a Performance Award may be made in shares of Common Stock, in cash, or in any combination of Common Stock and cash, and at such time or times, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. 10. OTHER STOCK-BASED GRANTS AND AWARDS. (a) IN GENERAL. The Committee may make other grants and Awards pursuant to which Common Stock is, or in the future may be, acquired by Participants, and other grants and Awards to Participants denominated in Common Stock Equivalents or other Units ("Stock-Based Grants").

If any such deferral is required by the Committee (or is elected by the Participant with the permission of the Committee), the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. The Committee may provide for the payment or crediting of interest, at such rate or rates as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate, on such deferred amounts credited in cash and the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of deferred amounts credited in Common Stock Equivalents. Deferred amounts may be paid in a lump sum or in installments in the manner and to the extent permitted, and in accordance with rules and procedures established, by the Committee. 12. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF GRANTS AND AWARDS. No grant or Award under the Plan, and no right or interest therein, shall be (i) assignable, alienable or transferable by a Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) subject to any obligation, or the lien or claims of any creditor, of any Participant, or (iii) subject to any lien, encum- -9- X-10-1-9 10 brance or claim of any party made in respect of or through any Participant, however arising. During the lifetime of a Participant, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable only by, and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or in settlement of other Awards will be issued only to, and other payments in settlement of any Award will be payable only to, the Participant or his or her legal representative. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize written designations of beneficiaries and authorize Participants to designate beneficiaries with the authority to exercise Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant in the event of his or her death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and on and subject to such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be set forth in the related grant agreement: (i) authorize a Participant to transfer all or a portion of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as the case may be, granted to such Participant; provided, that in no event shall any transfer be made to any person or persons other than such Participant's spouse, children or grandchildren, or a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more such persons, which transfer must be made as a gift and without any consideration; and (ii) provide for the transferability of a particular grant or Award pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. All other transfers and any retransfer by any permitted transferee are prohibited and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right which becomes the subject of permitted transfer (and the Participant to whom it was granted by the Company) shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such permitted transfer. The Participant shall remain responsible to the Company for the payment of all withholding taxes incurred as a result of any exercise of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right. In no event shall any permitted transfer of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right create any right in any party in respect of any Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other grant or Award, other than the rights of the qualified transferee in respect of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right specified in the related grant agreement. 13. CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) EFFECT ON GRANTS.

(b) CHANGE IN CONTROL DEFINED. A "Change in Control" of the Company shall occur when: (i) any Acquiring Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or any person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company or a Subsidiary for or pursuant to the terms of any such plans), alone, or together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall become the beneficial owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price and upon such terms and conditions as a majority of the Continuing Directors determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders); or (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a definitive agreement for a merger or consolidation involving the Company which would result in the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (whether by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) less than fifty percent of the combined voting power of the Company and such other entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) the Continuing Directors no longer constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. "Acquiring Person" means any person (any indi- -10- X-10-1-10 11 vidual, firm, corporation or other entity) who or which, together with all its Affiliates and Associates, shall be the beneficial owner of a substantial block of Common Stock. "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. "Continuing Director" means any individual who is a member of the Board of Directors, while such individual is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or a representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, and any successor of a Continuing Director, while such successor is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors. 14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan, except with respect to grants then outstanding. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate without approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws, including the Exchange Act and the Code. In no event may the Board of Directors amend the Plan without the approval of the shareholders to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase any limitation set forth in the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued, or the aggregate value of Awards which may be made, in respect of any type of grant to all Participants during the term of the Plan or to any Participant during any specified period, (iii) reduce the minimum exercise price for Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, or (iv) change the Performance Measure criteria identified at Section 9(c) of the Plan. 15. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All Awards under the Plan will be made subject to any applicable withholding for taxes of any kind. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any amount payable under the Plan, including delivery of shares of Common Stock to be made under the Plan, all federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment and to take such other actions as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy withholding taxes, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof on the date when the withholding for taxes is required to be made. The Company shall have the right to require a Participant to pay cash to satisfy withholding taxes as a condition to the payment of any amount (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) under the Plan. (b) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the making of any grant or Award shall confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time, with or without cause. (c) UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company. (d) PAYMENTS TO TRUST. The Committee is authorized to cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements whereunder the Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan. (e) ENGAGING IN COMPETITION WITH COMPANY. In the event a Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, and within eighteen (18) months after the date thereof accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in com- -11- X-10-1-11 12 petition with, the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Participant to return, or (if not received) to forfeit, to the Company the economic value of any Award which is realized or obtained (measured at the date of exercise, vesting or payment) by such Participant (i) at any time after the date which is six months prior to the date of such Participant's termination of employment with the Company or (ii) during such other period as the Committee may determine. (f) OTHER COMPANY BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant's regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination indemnity or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any pension or other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless (i) expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangement or (ii) the Committee expressly determines that an Award or a portion thereof should be included as recurring compensation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary from establishing other special awards, incentive compensation plans, compensation programs and other similar arrangements providing for the payment of performance, incentive or other compensation to Employees. Payments and benefits provided to any Employee under any other plan, including, without limitation, any stock option, stock award, restricted stock, deferred compensation, savings, retirement or other benefit plan or arrangement, shall be governed solely by the terms of such other plan. (g) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock if such issuance or delivery shall constitute a violation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or securities exchange. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with all applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations and all requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. (h) GRANT AGREEMENTS. Each Participant receiving a grant under the Plan shall enter into a grant agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Committee agreeing to the terms and conditions of the grant and such related matters as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine. (1) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan. (j) TRANSITION - 1989 PLAN. The Plan replaces and supersedes the 1989 Goodyear Performance and Equity Incentive Plan (the "1989 Plan") and the 1989 Plan shall automatically terminate when the Plan becomes effective, except that such termination shall not affect any grants or awards then outstanding under the 1989 Plan. (k) GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. -12- X-10-1-12 EX-11 4 EXHIBIT 11 1 EXHIBIT 11 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE Set forth below are computations, on a primary basis and on a fully diluted basis in accordance with subparagraph (b) (11) of Item 601 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission, of earnings per share of the Common Stock, without par value, of Registrant.
