</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">1.&nbsp;This Restricted Stock Unit Grant for the number of Units specified on the grant summary
page is granted to you under, and governed by the terms and conditions of, the 2017 Performance
Plan of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, adopted effective April&nbsp;10, 2017 (as amended from time
to time, the &#147;Plan&#148;), and this Grant Agreement. As your grant is conveyed and managed online, your
online acceptance constitutes your agreement to and acceptance of all terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Grant Agreement. You also agree that you have read and understand the provisions of
the Plan and this Grant Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Grant Agreement
have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">2.&nbsp;All rights conferred upon you under the provisions of this Grant Agreement are personal to
you and no assignee, transferee or other successor in interest shall acquire any rights or
interests whatsoever under this Grant Agreement, which is made exclusively for the benefit of you
and the Company, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">3.&nbsp;As consideration for the Units granted to you hereunder, except as otherwise provided in
this Section&nbsp;3 or as may be provided pursuant to Section&nbsp;14 of the Plan in the event of a Change in
Control, you must remain in the continuous employ of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries
until <B>&#091;insert vesting schedule&#093; </B>(each a &#147;Vesting Date&#148;). In the event of your death or
&#147;Disability&#148; (defined as termination of employment while receiving benefits for a period of not
less than one year under a long-term disability income plan provided by a government or sponsored
by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) prior to a Vesting Date and on any date which is more
than six (6)&nbsp;months after the Date of Grant of the Units specified on the grant summary page of
this Grant Agreement, you will receive a prorated number of Units. Any such proration will be
based on the date of your termination of employment with the Company. Nothing contained herein
shall restrict the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate your
employment at any time, with or without cause. In the event of a Change in Control while this
grant is outstanding, the Units shall be subject to the applicable provisions of Section&nbsp;14 of the
Plan, and in the event that you incur a Severance prior to a Vesting Date, the Units shall be
deemed to have been fully earned.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">4.&nbsp;In the event your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any
reason whatsoever (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) and within 18&nbsp;months after such
termination date you accept employment with a competitor of, or otherwise engage in competition
with, the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require you to return, or (if not
received) to forfeit, to the Company the payments made (or to be made) hereunder which you have
received (or will receive) at any time on or after the date which is six months prior to the date
of termination of your employment with the Company. Additionally, all Units granted to you
hereunder which are outstanding shall be automatically cancelled upon commencement of your
competitive engagement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">5.&nbsp;The Company will pay to you 100% of the total number of whole Units earned in shares of
Common Stock (with each Unit being equivalent to one share of Common Stock), less such withholding
and payroll taxes as the Company shall determine to be necessary or appropriate. Any payment
pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 of this Grant Agreement shall be made (i)&nbsp;after each Vesting Date but in no
event later than the March&nbsp;15 of the year following such Vesting Date; or (ii)&nbsp;in the event of your
earlier Severance, within 30&nbsp;days after your Severance. The number of Units earned will always be
rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any
fractional shares of Common Stock (or pay any cash in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Grant
Agreement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">6.&nbsp;Each Unit will be credited with one Dividend Equivalent on each date on which cash
dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock (and each fraction of a Unit shall be credited
with a like fraction of a Dividend Equivalent). Dividend Equivalents (and fractions thereof, if
any) will be automatically translated into Units by dividing the dollar amount of such Dividend
Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the relevant Dividend
Equivalents are accrued to your account. The number of Units (and any fractions thereof) resulting
will be credited to your account (in lieu of the dollar amount of such Dividend Equivalent) and
shall continually be denominated in Units, and shall remain unvested, until vested and converted
for payment as provided in this Grant Agreement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">7.&nbsp;You will be required to satisfy all Federal, state and local tax and payroll withholding
obligations, and any other withholding obligations, arising in respect
