PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Section 721 of the New York
Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”) provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article
7 of the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision contained in the certificate of incorporation
or by-laws or by a duly authorized resolution of its shareholders or directors or by agreement, provided that no indemnification
may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer
establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material
to the cause of action, or that such director or officer personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which
he was not legally entitled.
Section 722(a) of the NYBCL
provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action other than
a derivative action, whether civil or criminal, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding or any appeal therein, if such
director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Section 722(c) of the NYBCL
provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, made or threatened to be made, a party in a derivative action,
against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred
by the director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or in connection with an appeal therein
if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be available under Section 722(c) of the NYBCL in respect of
a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or any claim as to which such director or officer shall
have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or,
if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines, upon application, that, in view of all the circumstances
of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and
expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 723 of the NYBCL
specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under Section 722 of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted under Section
721 of the NYBCL may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that indemnification may be authorized by the corporation. It
provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been successful, whether
on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has not been successful or the action
is settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate action as set forth in Section 723.
Section 724 of the NYBCL
provides that, upon application by a director or officer, indemnification may be awarded by a court to the extent authorized. Section
722 and Section 723 of the NYBCL contain certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers.
Section 726 of the NYBCL
authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (1) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result
of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL, (2) directors and officers in
instances in which they may be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL, and (3) directors
and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of Article 7 of
the NYBCL, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New
York State Superintendent of Financial Services, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.
Section 6 of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company provides, in part, as follows:
“A person who is or
was a director of the corporation shall have no personal liability to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach
of duty in such capacity except that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit liability where such liability is imposed under
the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York.”
Article XI of the By-Laws,
as amended, of the Company provides, in part, as follows:
A. The
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be in effect, indemnify any
person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Company (hereinafter, a “director” or “officer”)
and who is or was made or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, investigation, hearing or other proceeding (including any appeal therein),
whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, legislative or otherwise (hereinafter, a “proceeding”), including
an action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor and an action by or in the right of any other corporation
of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
which such person is serving, has served or has agreed to serve in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director or officer of
the Company, is or was serving or has agreed to serve such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against (i) judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, taxes or penalties,
and (ii) costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys fees (hereinafter, “expenses”), incurred in connection with
such proceeding, provided, however, that no indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer and from which there is no further right to appeal establishes that (i) his or her acts were
committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of
action so adjudicated, or (ii) he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was
not legally entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section E with respect to a suit to enforce rights to
indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XI, the Company shall be required to indemnify a director or officer
under this Section A in connection with any suit (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such suit (or part thereof)
was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.
B. In
addition to the right to indemnification conferred by Section A, a director or officer of the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be in effect, also have the right to be paid by the Company the
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon delivery to the Company
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any amounts so advanced if (i) such person is ultimately found, under
the procedure set forth in Section C or by a court of competent jurisdiction, not to be entitled to indemnification under this
Article XI or otherwise, or (ii) where indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced by the Company exceed
the indemnification to which such person is entitled.
C. To
receive indemnification under Section A, a director or officer of the Company shall submit to the Company a written request, which
shall include documentation or information that is necessary to determine the entitlement of such person to indemnification and
that is reasonably available to such person Upon receipt by the Company of a written request for indemnification, if required by
the New York Business Corporation Law, a determination with respect to the request shall be made (i) by the Company’s Board
of Directors, acting by a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties
to the proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the New York
Business Corporation Law, or (ii) if a quorum of such disinterested directors is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum
of disinterested directors so directs, by the Company’s Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of independent legal
counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in the New York Business Corporation Law or by the shareholders upon a finding that such person has met such
standard of conduct. The determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be made, and such indemnification shall be paid
in full, within 90 days after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company. Upon making a request for
indemnification, a director or officer shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the burden of establishing that
a director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.
D. To
receive an advancement of expenses under Section B, a director or officer shall submit to the Company a written request, which
shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by such person and shall include the undertaking required by Section B. Expenses
shall be paid in full within 30 days after a written request for advancement has been received by the Company.
E. If
a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Company or on its behalf within the time frames
specified in Section C or D, as applicable, a director or officer of the Company may at any time thereafter bring suit against
the Company in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in
any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking,
such person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by a director
or officer of the Company to enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XI, or brought by
the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that such person
is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.
F. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article XI, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be
in effect, a director or officer of the Company shall be entitled to indemnification against all expenses incurred by such person
or on such person’s behalf if such person appears as a witness or otherwise incurs legal expenses as a result of or related
to such person’s service (i) as a director or officer of the Company, or (ii) while a director or officer of the Company,
at any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which such person is serving,
has served or has agreed to serve in any capacity at the request of the Company, in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, investigation, hearing or other proceeding to which such person neither
is, nor is threatened to be made, a party.
G. The
Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, or by a committee comprised
of members of the Company’s Board of Directors or members of management as the Company’s Board of Directors may designate
for such purpose, provide indemnification to employees or agents of the Company who are not officers or directors of the Company
with such scope and effect as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, or such committee.
H. The
Company may indemnify any person to whom the Company is permitted by applicable law to provide indemnification or the advancement
of expenses, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by, the New York Business Corporation Law or other rights
created by (i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification,
it being expressly intended that these By-Laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner. The right to be indemnified
and to the advancement of expenses authorized by this Section H shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of shareholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise.
I. The
rights conferred by this Article XI shall be contract rights and shall vest at the time a person agrees to become a director or
officer of the Company. Such rights shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and
shall extend to the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article
XI shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any director or officer in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
J. If
any provision of this Article XI is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (i) the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article XI (including without limitation, all portions of any section of
this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions
of this Article XI (including, without limitation, all portions of any section of this Article XI containing any such provision
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so
as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
K. This
Article XI may be amended, modified or repealed either by action of the Company’s Board of Directors or by the vote of the
shareholders.
The Company has purchased
liability insurance for its officers and directors as permitted by Section 726 of the NYBCL.
In addition, the Company
has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. Under these indemnification agreements, the Company agrees
to indemnify its directors for all expenses related to any action, suit, arbitration, or investigation (among other proceedings,
as defined therein) and to advance expenses in advance of such matters’ final disposition. The right to indemnification and
advancement is limited to the extent expressly prohibited by law, to the extent the expenses are covered by other sources (such
as insurance or another indemnity clause, among others), or in connection with an action, suit or proceeding, or portion thereof,
voluntarily initiated by the director, subject to certain exceptions.

Re: |

Registration Statement on Form S-8 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) of General Electric Company, a New York corporation (the
“Company”), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the offering by
the Company of up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”),
available for issuance under the GE Aerospace Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a qualified
profit sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that
contains a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code.
In arriving at the opinions expressed
below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of
the originals, of the Plan and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed,
without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As
to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon
statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others. We have also assumed without independent
investigation that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and any participants in the Plan that would
expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Plan or the respective rights or obligations of the participants thereunder.
Based upon the foregoing examination
and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the
Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan and against payment therefor, and when the Registration
Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, will be validly issued, fully paid and, subject to the provisions of Section
630 of the New York Business Corporation Law, non-assessable.

opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement and the
prospectus that forms a part thereof. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose
