On September 5, 2018, General Motors Company (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC, for themselves and as representatives of the several other underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Company, $2.1 billion aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes, consisting of $450 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”).

On September 10, 2018, the Company closed the offering of the Notes. The Floating Rate Notes, the 2028 Notes and the 2049 Notes were each issued as a separate series of debt securities pursuant to the indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of September 10, 2018 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Indenture”), governs the terms of the Notes. In connection with the closing of the offering of the Floating Rate Notes, the Company also entered into a calculation agency agreement in respect of the Floating Rate Notes, dated as of September 10, 2018, with The Bank of New York Mellon, as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agency Agreement”).

The Indenture contains covenants that will limit (i) the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness secured by certain principal domestic manufacturing properties or by any shares of stock or indebtedness of certain manufacturing subsidiaries and to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to certain principal domestic manufacturing properties and (ii) the ability of the Company to enter into certain mergers or certain conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of its properties and assets.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 3.500% senior notes due October 2, 2018, to pre-fund certain mandatory contributions for its U.K. and Canada pension plans due in 2019 through 2021, and for other general corporate purposes.

The offering and sale of the Notes was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215924) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnified party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that in the event the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of any such proceeding, the indemnified party shall then be entitled

20

to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to itself and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel relating to the proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party pursuant to the preceding sentence or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

If the indemnification provided for in this Article X is unavailable as a matter of law to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) if the indemnifying party is the Company, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, (ii) if an Underwriter is the indemnifying party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the Underwriter’s relative fault on the one hand and that of the Company on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or (iii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as the case may be, is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) above or the relative fault referred to in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, but also such relative fault (in cases covered by clause (i)) or such relative benefit (in cases covered by clause (ii)) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, and where applicable, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omissions.

21

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article X were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amounts paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X concerning contribution, no indemnifying party shall be required to make contribution in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in any circumstances in which such party would not have been required to provide indemnification. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by an indemnified party of such party’s rights, if any, to receive contribution pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Securities Act or other applicable law. No person guilty of “fraudulent misrepresentation” (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Article X are several, in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters, and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Article X are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article X and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Underwriters in this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by an indemnified party or on such party’s behalf or any person controlling an indemnified party or by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, its directors or officers or any person controlling the indemnifying party; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

XI.

The Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters may terminate this Agreement (upon consultation with the Company) at any time prior to the time on the Closing Date at which payment would otherwise be due under this Agreement to the Company if (i) in the opinion of the Representatives, a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred or there shall have been a change in national financial, political or economic conditions which in their view will have a material adverse effect on the success of the offering and distribution of the Securities or (ii) trading in securities generally on

22

the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended generally or materially limited. In the event of any such termination and after consultation with the Company, the parties to this Agreement shall be released and discharged from their respective obligations under this Agreement without liability on the part of any Underwriter or on the part of the Company and each party will pay its own expenses.

XII.

The Company and each Underwriter acknowledge and agree that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company, neither the Underwriter nor any affiliate thereof, to the best of their respective knowledge, has any current arrangement with any third party which would permit such Underwriter or any such affiliate to benefit financially, directly or indirectly, from the Underwriter’s participation in the determination of the terms of the offering, including the pricing of the Securities. Additionally, each Underwriter is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

XIII.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company, and inure solely to the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and any other person expressly entitled to indemnification hereunder and the respective personal representatives, successors and assigns of each, and no other person shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement.

XIV.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing and if to an Underwriter shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered in person or sent by facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing), or registered mail to each Representative at its address or facsimile number below and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered by registered mail to the Company at 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265, marked for the attention of the Secretary, with a copy to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, at Four Times Square, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Gregory Fernicola, Esq. (facsimile: 212-735-2918).

(facsimile: 212-701-5565) and Sophia Hudson, Esq. (facsimile: 212-701-5762). All notices hereunder shall be effective on receipt.

XV.

If on the Closing Date any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder on such date and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, to take and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names on Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all of the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, after giving effect to any alternative arrangements for the purchase of such Securities that are satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company and which are made within thirty-six (36) hours after the Closing Date, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of such Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the provisions of Article X shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Article XV, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five (5) business days, as the Representatives and the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default hereunder.

XVI.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with the Securities.

24

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph or pursuant to Article XI, the Representatives shall reimburse the Company for all of the Company’s reasonable outside counsel fees, disbursements and expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

XVII.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered against it in connection with this Agreement may be brought in any Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, such party hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts in personam, generally and unconditionally with respect to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, assets and revenues. Each party hereby also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

XVIII.

Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters (and their respective affiliates), and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Underwriters (and their respective affiliates).

XIX.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The exchanges of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages hereto by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the exchange of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

XX.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L, 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their clients, which may include the name and address of their clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their clients.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am issuing this letter in my capacity as an Attorney on the Legal Staff of General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in response to the requirements of Article V, paragraph (d) of the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 5, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company and the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for whom Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”). The Underwriting Agreement relates to the offering (the “Offering”) of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due

A-1-1

2021, $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 and $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (collectively, the “Securities”) to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.

In connection with the preparation of this letter, I have among other things read:

In addition, I have examined and relied on the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction of all such corporate records of the Company and such other instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and such other persons, and I have made such investigations of law as I have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. I have assumed that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this letter and that the information upon which I have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

A-1-2

I have assumed the conformity of the documents filed with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), except for required EDGAR formatting changes, to physical copies of the documents delivered to the Underwriters and submitted for my examination.

Based upon the foregoing and such other information and documents as I have considered necessary for the purposes hereof, I am of the opinion that:

In addition to the qualifications set forth above, the opinions and other matters in this letter are qualified in their entirety and subject to the following:

A. Except as set forth in paragraph (1) above, I make no representation that I have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or that the actions taken in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus were sufficient to cause the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus to be accurate, complete or fair (including the actions described in the next paragraph).

A-1-3

B. I have assumed for purposes of this letter the following: that each document I have reviewed for purposes of this letter is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original and all signatures on each such document are genuine; that the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and every other agreement I have examined for purposes of this letter constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each party to that document and that each such party has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to such party to the extent necessary to entitle such party to enforce such agreement (except that I make no such assumption with respect to the Company); and that you have acted in good faith and without notice of any fact which has caused you to reach any conclusion contrary to any of the advice provided in this letter.

C. In preparing this letter I have relied without independent verification upon: (i) factual information represented to be true in the Underwriting Agreement and other documents specifically identified at the beginning of this letter as having been read by me; (ii) factual information provided to me by the other representatives of the Company; and (iii) factual information I have obtained from such other sources as I have deemed reasonable. I have assumed that the information upon which I have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading. I have not undertaken any investigation or search of court records for purposes of this letter.

D. I confirm that I do not have knowledge that has caused me to conclude that my reliance and assumptions cited in the two immediately preceding paragraphs are unwarranted. Whenever this letter provides advice about (or based upon) my knowledge of any particular information or about any information which has or has not come to my attention such advice is based entirely on my conscious awareness at the time this letter is delivered on the date it bears.

E. I am a member of the Bar of the State of Michigan, and I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction, other than the law of the State of Michigan.

F. My advice on each legal issue addressed in this letter represents my opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court of the jurisdiction upon whose law my opinion on that issue is based. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case, and this letter is not intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the future.

This letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. I do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which I did not have knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law, other governmental requirement or interpretation thereof covered by any of my opinions or advice, or for any other reason.

This letter may be relied upon by you only for the purpose served by the provision in the Underwriting Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without my written consent: (i) no person other than you may rely on this letter for any purpose; (ii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance.

Very truly yours,

Re: General Motors Company Notes Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Attorneys under my supervision and I have acted as counsel for General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the underwriting agreement, dated September 5, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between you, as representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule I therein (the “Underwriters”), and the Company, relating to the sale by the Company to the Underwriters of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes and the Floating Rate Notes, the “Securities”) to be issued under the Indenture, dated

as of September 27, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.

This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section V(d) of the Underwriting Agreement.

In the above capacity, attorneys under my supervision and/or I have reviewed the registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-215924) of the Company relating to the debt securities and other securities of the Company filed on February 7, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) allowing for delayed offerings pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), including the Incorporated Documents (as defined below) and the information deemed to be a part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Rules and Regulations (such registration statement, at the time it became effective, being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”), and (i) the prospectus, dated February 7, 2017 (the “Base Prospectus”), which forms a part of and is included in the Registration Statement, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, (ii) the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated September 5, 2018 (together with the Base Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), relating to the offering of the Securities in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations and (iii) the prospectus supplement, dated September 5, 2018 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, the “Prospectus”), relating to the offering of the Securities in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations. We also have reviewed the documents identified on Schedule A hereto filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Incorporated Documents”), the “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(1) of the Rules and Regulations) identified on Schedule B hereto relating to the Securities (the “Free Writing Prospectus”) and such other documents as we deemed appropriate.

In addition, attorneys under my supervision and/or I have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, the Company’s outside counsel, representatives of the independent registered public accountants of the Company and you and your counsel at which the contents of the Registration

Page 3

Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and related matters were discussed. Attorneys under my supervision and/or I have also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters. I do not pass upon, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package and have made no independent check or verification thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to my attention that have caused me to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that in each case I do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom, the report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting or the auditors’ report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement, including the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”)). In addition, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to my attention that have caused me to believe that the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that I do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom, the report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting or the auditors’ report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement, including the Form T-1, to the extent included or incorporated by reference therein).

Without my prior written consent, this letter may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person for any purpose, including any other person that acquires any Securities or that seeks to assert the rights of an Underwriter in respect of this letter (other than an Underwriter’s successor in interest by means of merger, consolidation, transfer of a business or other similar transaction).

OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Based solely on our review of the Delaware Certificates, the Company is duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the DGCL;

2. The Company has the corporate power and authority under the DGCL to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Agreements and to consummate the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated thereby.

3. Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the DGCL.

4. The Indenture constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

5. The Note Certificates have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and duly executed by the Company under the DGCL, and when duly authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Note Certificates will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York.

6. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the consummation by the Company of the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated thereby (i) conflicts with the Organizational Documents, (ii) constitutes a violation of, or a default under, any Scheduled Contract or (iii) violates the DGCL or any statutory laws of the State of New York or the United States of America.

7. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the consummation by the Company of the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated thereby requires the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under the DGCL or any statutory laws of the State of New York or the United States of America except for those consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations already obtained and those filings, recordings and registrations already made.

A-3-1

8. The Company is not and, solely after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9. The statements in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under the captions “Description of Debt Securities” (other than those under the caption “Book-Entry; Delivery and Form; Global Securities”) and “Description of the Notes,” insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Indenture and the Note Certificates, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects.

10. The Registration Statement, at the Effective Time, and the Prospectus, as of the date thereof, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom or the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1).

11. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section VIII(m) of the Underwriting Agreement, the Registration Statement became effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462 of the Rules and Regulations and, pursuant to Section 309 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Base Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and to our knowledge, based solely upon our review of the Commission’s website, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission.

TAX OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein and in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, we are of the opinion that under current United States federal income tax law, although the discussion set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “U.S. Federal Tax Considerations” does not purport to discuss all possible U.S. federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes, such discussion constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary of such U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined therein).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for you and the other several Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated September 5, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), under which you and such other Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Company $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of September 27, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the supplemental indenture to be dated as of September 10, 2018 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.

We have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

B-1-1

We have also reviewed the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215924) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of securities (the “Shelf Securities”) to be issued from time to time by the Company and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2018 relating to the Securities, the free writing prospectus set forth in Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Securities and the prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2018 relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement became effective under the Act and the Indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, upon the filing of the registration statement with the Commission on February 7, 2017 pursuant to Rule 462(e). The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated February 7, 2017 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed with or submitted to the Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting, (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

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

B-1-2

We have considered the statements included in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description of the Notes” and “Underwriting” insofar as they summarize provisions of the Indenture, the Securities and the Underwriting Agreement. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects.

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, we have assumed that each party to the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement and the Securities (the “Documents”) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. In addition, we have assumed that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by each party thereto of each Document to which it is a party, (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent that we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to the Company, and (ii) each Document (other than the Underwriting Agreement) is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company).

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

B-1-3

This opinion is rendered solely to you and the other several Underwriters in connection with the Underwriting Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon by you or the other several Underwriters for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Securities from the several Underwriters) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for you and the other several Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated September 5, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), under which you and such other Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Company $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Securities”).

We have reviewed the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215924) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of securities (the “Shelf Securities”) to be issued from time to time by the Company and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2018 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Securities, the free writing prospectus set forth in Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Securities and the prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2018 relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement,

B-2-1

including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated February 7, 2017 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, together with the free writing prospectus set forth in Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement for the Securities are hereinafter referred to as the “Disclosure Package.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

We have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that all documents filed with or submitted to the Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or quantitative information. Furthermore, many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion separately delivered to you today in respect of certain matters under the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. As a result, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and we have not ourselves checked the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, or otherwise verified, the information furnished in such documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in our opinion letter separately delivered to you today as to statements included in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description of the Notes” and “Underwriting”). However, in the course of our acting as counsel to you in connection with the review of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, we have generally reviewed and discussed with your representatives and with certain officers and employees of, and counsel and independent public accountants for, the Company the information furnished, whether or not subject to our check and verification. We have also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

On the basis of the information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered above, but without independent check or verification except as stated above:

B-2-2

In providing this letter to you and the other several Underwriters, we have not been called to pass upon, and we express no view regarding, the financial statements or financial schedules or other financial or accounting data included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1. In addition, we express no view as to the conveyance of the Disclosure Package or the information contained therein to investors.

This letter is delivered solely to you and the other several Underwriters in connection with the Underwriting Agreement. This letter may not be relied upon by you or the other several Underwriters for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Securities from the several Underwriters) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of September 10, 2018 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), between General Motors Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company”), having its principal office at 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000, and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”).

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

WHEREAS, the Company has executed and delivered the Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013 (as supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Base Indenture” and, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to the Trustee, to provide for the issuance of the Company’s debt securities (the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture, the Company desires to provide for the establishment of three new series of its Securities under the Base Indenture to be known as its “Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021” (the “Floating Rate Notes”), “5.000% Senior Notes due 2028” (the “2028 Notes”) and “5.950% Senior Notes due 2049” (the “2049 Notes”) (the “2049 Notes,” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”), respectively, the form and substance and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof to be set forth as provided in the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company hereby requests that the Trustee join with the Company in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture; and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, and to make the Notes, when executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company, have been performed.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided in the Base Indenture, the forms and terms of the Notes, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee, as follows:

1

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

Section 1.01. Definition of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) the terms defined in this Supplemental Indenture (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires) for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto have the respective meanings specified in this Supplemental Indenture. All other terms used in this Supplemental Indenture that are defined in the Base Indenture, either directly or by reference therein (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires), have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Base Indenture, as in force at the date of this Supplemental Indenture as originally executed; provided that any term that is defined in both the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Supplemental Indenture;

(b) the singular includes the plural, and vice versa; and

(c) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation.

(d) The following definition shall be applicable in respect of all Notes for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture:

“Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (i) that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York or the city in which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is located and (ii) that, in the case of (and solely in the case of) the Floating Rate Notes, is also a London Business Day (as defined below).

(e) The following definitions shall be applicable solely in respect of the Floating Rate Notes for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture:

“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, or any successor appointed from time to time by the Company to act as calculation agent.

“Interest Determination Date” means the second London Business Day immediately preceding September 10, 2018, in the case of the Initial Interest Period, or thereafter the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date.

“Initial Interest Reset Period” (or “Initial Interest Period”) means the period from and including September 10, 2018 to but excluding the first Interest Reset Date.

2

“Interest Reset Date” refers to each day on which the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be reset, which will be quarterly on March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10, commencing on December 10, 2018; provided that if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

“Interest Reset Period” (or “Interest Period”) means the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date; provided that the final Interest Reset Period for the Floating Rate Notes shall be the period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the maturity date of the Floating Rate Notes to but excluding the maturity date.

“London Business Day” means a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Three-Month LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period, the rate determined by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Interest Determination Date in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Three-Month LIBOR will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity which appears on the Bloomberg BBAM (as defined below) page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If on an Interest Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the Bloomberg BBAM page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if the Bloomberg BBAM page is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from Reuters LIBOR 01 (as defined below). “Bloomberg BBAM” means the display designated on page BBAM on Bloomberg L.P. (or such other page as may replace such page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR for U.S. dollar deposits administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any other person assuming the responsibility for the administration of those rates)). “Reuters LIBOR 01” means the display designated on page LIBOR 01 on Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR 01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks). If no such rate appears on either Reuters LIBOR 01 or Bloomberg BBAM, or if both Reuters LIBOR 01 and Bloomberg BBAM are not available on such date, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below.

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters LIBOR 01 or Bloomberg BBAM as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, as specified in paragraph (i) above, unless paragraph (iii) below applies, the Company shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market selected by the Company to provide the Calculation Agent with a quotation of the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date in a

3

principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks selected by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time; provided, however, that if fewer than three major banks selected as aforesaid by the Company are quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the same as the Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period (or, if there was no preceding Interest Period, the Three-Month LIBOR will be the same as the Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the Initial Interest Period).

(iii) Notwithstanding paragraph (ii) above, if the Company determines that Three-Month LIBOR has been permanently discontinued, or the reference to Three-Month LIBOR becomes illegal, or most other debt obligations similar to the Floating Rate Notes have converted away from Three-Month LIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent will use, as directed by the Company, as a substitute for Three-Month LIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative Rate”) selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will, as directed by the Company, make such adjustments (“Adjustments”) to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon to account for the basis between Three-Month LIBOR and the Alternative Rate, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes. If the Company determines that there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced Three-Month LIBOR in customary market usage, (a) the Calculation Agent shall have the right to resign as calculation agent in respect of the Floating Rate Notes and (b) the Company will appoint, in its sole discretion, a new Calculation Agent to replace the resigning Calculation Agent, solely in its role as calculation agent in respect of the Floating Rate Notes, to determine the Alternative Rate and make any Adjustments thereto or to the spread thereon, and the determinations of such new Calculation Agent will be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes; provided, however, that if the Company determines there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced Three-Month LIBOR in customary market usage, the Company may appoint in its sole discretion an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the determinations of the IFA will be binding on the Company, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, if any, and the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes. If, however, the existing Calculation Agent or any

4

subsequent Calculation Agent determines that Three-Month LIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative Rate has not been determined, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the same as the Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period (or, if there was no preceding Interest Period, Three-Month LIBOR will be the same as the Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the Initial Interest Period).

All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 1.986865% (or 0.01986865) being rounded to 1.98687% (or 0.0198687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

Section 1.02. Relationship with Base Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling (including for all purposes of Section 113 of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes).

The Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes, increase the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes that may be issued under the Indenture and issue additional Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes; provided that if the additional Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes are not fungible with the then-outstanding Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, respectively, the additional Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes or 2049 Notes shall have separate CUSIP numbers.

For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below are solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes, 2028 Notes and 2049 Notes, and are not for the benefit of, or applicable to, any other debt securities issued under the Base Indenture or any other supplemental indenture.

Section 3.02. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable to Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below:

“Attributable Debt” means, at the time of determination as to any lease, the present value (discounted at the actual rate, if stated, or, if no rate is stated, the implicit rate of interest of such lease transaction as determined by the Company’s Chairman, President or any Vice Chairman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Company’s Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer), calculated using the interval of scheduled rental payments under such lease, of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of such lease (excluding any subsequent renewal or other extension options held by the lessee). The term “net rental payments” means, with respect to any lease for any period, the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, but not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of sales, earnings or profits or of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges; provided, however, that, in the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty in an amount which is less than the total discounted net rental payments required to be paid from the

9

later of the first date upon which such lease may be so terminated and the date of the determination of net rental payments, “net rental payments” shall include the then current amount of such penalty from the later of such two dates, and shall exclude the rental payments relating to the remaining period of the lease commencing with the later of such two dates.

“Consolidated Tangible Assets” means, on the date of determination, total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as set forth on the most recently available consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

“Manufacturing Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary (A) substantially all the property of which is located within the continental United States of America, (B) which owns a Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property and (C) in which the Company’s investment, direct or indirect and whether in the form of equity, debt, advances or otherwise, is in excess of $2,500,000,000 as shown on the consolidated books of the Company as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of determination; provided, however, that “Manufacturing Subsidiary” shall not include any Subsidiary which is principally engaged in leasing or in financing installment receivables or otherwise providing financial or insurance services to the Company or others or which is principally engaged in financing the Company’s operations outside the continental United States of America.

“Mortgage” means any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance.

“Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” means all real property located within the continental United States of America and constituting part of any manufacturing plant or facility owned and operated by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary, together with such manufacturing plant or facility (including all plumbing, electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, lighting and other utility systems, ducts and pipes attached to or constituting a part thereof, but excluding all trade fixtures (unless such trade fixtures are attached to the manufacturing plant or facility in a manner that does not permit removal therefrom without causing substantial damage thereto), business machinery, equipment, motorized vehicles, tools, supplies and materials, security systems, cameras, inventory and other personal property and materials), unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, such manufacturing plant or facility is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its consolidated affiliates as an entity.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation of which at least a majority of the outstanding stock having by the terms thereof ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (irrespective of whether or not at the time stock of any other class or classes of such corporation shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time owned by the Company, or by one or more Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries.

10

Section 3.03. Limitation on Liens. For the benefit of the Notes, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether such Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Debt that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt, unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with all other Debt of the Company and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (vii) of the immediately following paragraph, does not at the time exceed 15% of the Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Company.

(vi) Mortgages existing on September 10, 2018; or

(vii) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (vi) or in this clause (vii); provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

Section 3.04. Limitation on Sales and Lease-Backs. For the benefit of the Notes, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary of any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property owned by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary on September 10, 2018 (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than five years and except for leases between the Company and a Manufacturing Subsidiary or between Manufacturing Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary to such person, unless either:

(i) the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 above, to issue, assume, extend, renew or replace Debt secured by a Mortgage upon such property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Notes; provided, however, that from and after the date on which such arrangement becomes effective the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes under Section 3.03 above and this Section 3.04 to be Debt subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 above (which provisions include the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.03 above); or

(ii) the Company shall apply an amount in cash equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement within 180 days of the effective date of any such arrangement to either (or a combination) of (i) the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity) of Debt of ours or any Manufacturing Subsidiary (other than Debt owned by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary) which by its terms matures at or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt, or (ii) the purchase, construction or development by the Company or a Manufacturing Subsidiary of other comparable property.

Each such Global Security shall be duly executed by the Company, shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and shall be initially registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for the Depositary. DTC shall be the initial Depositary for the Floating Rate

13

Notes, 2028 Notes and 2049 Notes upon their original issuance.

The Agent Members shall have no rights under the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Securities. The Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or its nominee), or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same series or for Definitive Securities, or is being surrendered by the Company for cancellation after redemption, repurchase or other acquisition by the Company, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same series, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such other Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of September 10, 2018, between GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, whose principal executive office is at 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000 (the “Corporation”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, a New York banking corporation, whose designated corporate trust office is at 240 Greenwich Street, 7W, New York, New York 10286 (together with any successor, referred to herein in its capacity hereunder as the “Calculation Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Corporation proposes to issue and sell $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its securities designated as Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes are to be issued on the date hereof pursuant to the Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of September 27, 2013 between the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to be dated on or about September 10, 2018 between the Corporation and the Trustee. The Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, each as amended and supplemented, are together referred to herein as the “Indenture.” Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

WHEREAS, the Notes will bear interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.900%.

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Corporation desires to appoint the Calculation Agent as its agent, and the Calculation Agent desires to accept such appointment as the Corporation’s agent, to calculate the interest rates on the Notes.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby agree as follows:

1. Agency. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Corporation hereby appoints the Calculation Agent as its agent, and Calculation Agent hereby accepts such appointment as the Corporation’s agent, for the purpose of calculating the interest rates on the Notes in the manner and at the times provided in the Notes and the Indenture.

2. Duties of Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the interest rates on the Notes, in accordance with the procedures provided in the Notes and the Indenture, and shall communicate the same to the Corporation, the Trustee, The Depository Trust Company and any paying agent identified to it in writing as soon as practicable after each determination. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder or owner of the Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to such Note and, if determined, the interest rate with respect to such Note which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date. No amendment to the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes relating to the duties or obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

3. Certain Terms and Conditions. The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Corporation agrees:

(a) The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in writing with the Corporation for all services rendered by the Calculation Agent, and the Corporation promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Corporation shall reasonably require. The Corporation also agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by the Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Calculation Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (i) the written opinion or advice of legal or other professional advisors satisfactory to it or (ii) written instructions from the Corporation. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder. The indemnification provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) In acting under this Agreement in connection with the Notes, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Corporation and does not assume any obligations to or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Notes.

(c) The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the Notes or any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication on which it is entitled to rely pursuant to the terms hereof and which is reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(d) The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any interest in, any Notes, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Corporation as freely as if it were not the Calculation Agent.

(e) Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Corporation for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, except in the case of its or their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(f) The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(g) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Calculation Agent.

(h) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Corporation made or given by it under any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient if signed by any officer of the Corporation.

(i) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Calculation Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(k) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder, or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.

(l) The Calculation Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

The Calculation Agent may be removed at any time upon 60 days notice by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Corporation and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective; provided, however, that the Calculation Agent may agree in writing to accept less notice. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Corporation, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent (which may be the Corporation). If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Corporation, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. A successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Corporation by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Corporation and the successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Corporation of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

- 4 -

(b) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Corporation an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

(c) Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent may be merged, or any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Corporation and the Trustee.

5. Notice. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be (i) delivered in person, (ii) sent by letter or, solely with respect to notices given to the Calculation Agent or The Depository Trust Company, facsimile or email, or (iii) communicated by telephone (subject, in the case of communication by telephone, to confirmation dispatched within twenty-four hours by letter or by facsimile), (A) in the case of the Corporation, to General Motors Company, Attn: Secretary, 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000 telephone: (313) 665-4927, with a copy, which shall not constitute notice, to General Motors Company, Attn: Treasurer, 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000 telephone: (313) 667-1192, (B) The Bank of New York Mellon, to Corporate Trust Administration, 240 Greenwich Street, 7W, New York, New York 10286, telephone: (212) 815-2274, facsimile: (212) 815-5595 and, (C) in the case of The Depository Trust Company, to Manager Announcements, Dividend Department, The Depository Trust Company, 55 Water Street - 25th Floor, New York, New York 10041, facsimile: (212) 855-4555 or (212) 709-1263, or to any other address of which any party shall have notified the others in writing as herein provided.

The Calculation Agent agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Corporation elects to give the Calculation Agent e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Calculation Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Calculation Agent’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Calculation Agent’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions prior to receipt of a subsequent written instruction, notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with such subsequent written instruction.

General Motors Company

300 Renaissance Center

Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the public offering of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.950% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Securities”) to be issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture dated as of the date hereof (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

(e) an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 5, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company and Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several Underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale by the Company to the Underwriters of the Securities;

(f) an executed copy of the Base Indenture;

(i) an executed copy of a certificate of Rick Hansen, Assistant General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”);

(j) a copy of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated as of December 9, 2010, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof and at all times since September 27, 2013, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of August 31, 2018 and certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate (the “Charter”);

(k) a copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, dated as of December 11, 2012 and a copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, dated as of August 14, 2018, as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Current Bylaws”), in each case certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate;

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including those in the Secretary’s Certificate and the factual representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of New York and (ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined on Law”).

As used herein, “Transaction Agreements” means the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Note Certificates.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Note Certificates have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and duly executed by the Company under the DGCL, and when duly authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Note Certificates will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York.

The opinions stated herein are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) the opinions stated herein are limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

(b) we do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates;

(c) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we have assumed that each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each party to such Transaction Agreement, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms;

(d) we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision contained in any Transaction Agreement relating to any indemnification, contribution, exculpation, release or waiver that may be contrary to public policy or violative of federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations;

(e) we call to your attention that irrespective of the agreement of the parties to any Transaction Agreement, a court may decline to hear a case on grounds of forum non conveniens or other doctrine limiting the availability of such court as a forum for resolution of disputes; in addition, we call to your attention that we do not express any opinion with respect to the subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States of America in any action arising out of or relating to any Transaction Agreement; and

(f) to the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions contained in any Transaction Agreement, the opinions stated herein are subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be subject to, in each case, (i) the exceptions and limitations in New York General Obligations Law sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 and (ii) principles of comity and constitutionality.

In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinions we have assumed that, at all applicable times:

(a) subsequent to the effectiveness of the Base Indenture, the Base Indenture has not been amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in any way that affects or relates to the Securities (other than by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture);

(b) neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the Securities: (i) constituted or will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any lease, indenture, instrument or other agreement to which the Company or its property is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (i) with respect to those agreements or instruments expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York which are listed in Part II of the Registration Statement or the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K), (ii) contravened or will contravene any order or decree of any governmental authority to which the Company or its property is subject, or (iii) violated or will violate any law, rule or regulation to which the Company or its property is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (iii) with respect to the Opined-on Law); and

(c) neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the Securities, required or will require the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under any law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations. We also hereby consent to the filing of this opinion

with the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed on the date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.
