institution, which may or may not be a Lender, which is acceptable to the

purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to
such Dissenting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and
all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Dissenting Lenders and any other
amounts payable to such Dissenting Lenders under this Agreement, and to assume
all the obligations of such Dissenting Lenders hereunder, and, upon such
purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Dissenting
Lenders shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other
than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such
Dissenting Lenders prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall
be relieved from all obligations to the Company hereunder, and the New Lenders
shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Dissenting Lenders
hereunder. Each Dissenting Lender shall sell its Loan as set forth in this
Section 15.1 and use reasonable efforts to cooperate therewith. An existing
Lender who is not a Dissenting Lender shall be an acceptable New Lender.”

34. The last sentence of Section 15.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting therefrom the phrase “; provided that GE Capital may not be
referenced in any such advertising materials without GE Capital’s prior written
consent”.

35. Amended Schedules 9.8, 9.16, 9.17, 9.21, 9.24, 11.1 and 11.2 each in the
form attached to this Second Amendment as Schedules 9.8, 9.16, 9.17, 9.21, 9.24,
11.1 and 11.2, respectively, are hereby made a part of the Credit Agreement in
substitution of their counterparts which were originally attached hereto.

36. Amended Annex “A”, Annex “B”, Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B” and Exhibit “C” each
in the form attached to this Second Amendment as Annex “A”, Annex “B”, Exhibit
“A”, Exhibit “B” and Exhibit “C”, respectively, are hereby made a part of the
Credit Agreement in substitution and replacement of their counterparts which
were originally attached hereto.

37. The effectiveness of this Second Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of
all of the following conditions precedent:

(a) Lenders shall have accepted this Second Amendment in the spaces provided for
that purpose below.

(b) The Guaranty and Collateral Agreement shall have been (i) amended by the
parties thereto to (x) add, but only after the closing of the Goodyear
Acquisition, if such closing occurs, Titan Tire Corporation of Freeport as a
Grantor and Guarantor; and (y) delete GE as a party thereto, and (ii) reaffirmed
by the Grantors. 

(c) The Lenders shall have received from the Company new Notes in the amount of
$200,000,000.00 executed in connection with this Second Amendment.

(d) The Company and the Loan Parties shall be in full compliance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred or
be continuing after giving effect to this Second Amendment.

(e) All other legal matters incident to the execution and delivery hereof
contemplated hereby and to the transactions contemplated hereby (including the
delivery of ancillary documentation requested by Agent as set forth in the
Closing Checklist delivered to the Company on or before the date hereof except
for those deliveries relating to the Goodyear Acquisition that need only be
delivered to the Agent upon the closing thereof, if such closing occurs) shall
be satisfactory to the Lenders and their respective counsel.

Upon the date all of the foregoing conditions precedent have been satisfied,
this Second Amendment shall take effect (the “Effective Date”). Thereupon, the
LaSalle Bank National Association shall cancel and return to the Company the
Notes which were originally delivered to it and GE Capital by the Company at the
Closing of the Credit Agreement.

38. In order to induce the Lenders to execute and deliver this Second Amendment,
the Company hereby represents to the Lenders: (a) that immediately after giving
effect to this Second Amendment, each of the representations and warranties by
Company set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby (except
those representations that relate expressly to an earlier date) are and shall be
true and correct (except that the representations contained in Section 9.4 shall
be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements of the Company
delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) and that
Company and the Subsidiaries are and shall be in full compliance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement as so amended and the Loan Documents and that no Event
of Default or Default shall be continuing or shall result after giving effect to
this Second Amendment; and (b) that the negative EBIT of Goodyear Tire’s farm
tire division based at the Freeport Facility (calculated without a charge or
deduction for pension costs or the expense of retiree medical benefits) for its
most recently ended fiscal year did not exceed $20,000,000; provided, however,
that this representation shall only be deemed to have been made if the Goodyear
Acquisition closes.

39. As further consideration for the Lenders to execute and deliver this Second
Amendment, the Company hereby represents, warrants and agrees that Lenders and
Administrative Agent are in full compliance with all of the terms of the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents as of the date hereof and hereby waives any
claims of any kind that it may now possess or which otherwise relate to any act
or omissions of the Lenders or Administrative Agent at any time prior to the
date hereof.

40. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Except as specifically waived or amended hereby, all of the terms
and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged and in
full force and effect. The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby and all rights
and powers created thereby and thereunder or under such other documents are in
all respects ratified and confirmed. No reference to this Second Amendment need
be made in any note, instrument or other document making reference to the Credit
Agreement, any reference to the Credit Agreement in any such note, instrument or
other document (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents) to be deemed
to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

This Second Amendment shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the
Lenders and the Company and their successors and assigns.

This Second Amendment shall be construed and governed by and in accordance with
the laws of the State of Illinois (without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws).
