Capitalized English terms used herein, but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Registration Statement. Where a German translation of an English term appears in the text of this Opinion, the German translation of such term shall be decisive and authoritative for the interpretation of the relevant English term in the Opinion.

The Prospectus, the Opinion Documents and the Corporate Documents are collectively referred to as the “Documents”.

Except as stated above, we have not examined any agreements, deeds, instruments or other documents entered into by or affecting the Company or any corporate records of the Company or any other person and we have not made any other inquiries concerning the Company or any other person. We have relied upon the foregoing with respect to all factual matters stated therein. We have not independently verified such factual matters and do not opine as to matters of fact.

We have not investigated the laws of any country other than the Federal Republic of Germany (including the laws of the European Union to the extent directly applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany). This Opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and is given only with respect to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as in effect on the date hereof. To the extent we have reviewed documents expressed to be governed by any laws other than the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, we have interpreted the provisions contained therein from the perspective of a German-qualified lawyer without considering the particular meaning of such provisions under the relevant foreign law. In this Opinion, unless expressly stated to the contrary, German legal concepts are described and referred to in the English language and not in their original German terms which may not be fully identical in their respective legal meanings or ramifications. This Opinion may, therefore, only be relied upon on the express condition that any issues of interpretation arising thereunder are governed by German law. We express no opinion as to tax law.

(5)

Subject to the foregoing, the other matters set forth herein and any matters not disclosed to us, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:

(a)

The Company is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, GmbH) validly existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

(b)

The Company has the corporate power and authority (Rechtsmacht) to enter into the Opinion Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the Notes, and has duly taken all necessary corporate action required under its Articles of Association to authorize the execution of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the Notes on the terms set forth in the Opinion Documents.

(c)

The Company has duly executed the Opinion Documents to which it is a party.

(d)

The execution by the Company of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder does not and the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company do not contravene any provision of the Articles of Association of the Company in a way that would render the obligations of the Company invalid.

(e)

The choice of the laws of the State of New York expressed to govern the Opinion Documents, will be recognized and given effect to by the courts of the Federal Republic of Germany applying German law.

(6)

This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a)

The enforcement of the parties’ rights and the Companies’ performance of their obligations under the Opinion Documents may be limited by and are subject to the laws on insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or any other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors (including the attachment of claims by third-party creditors and the principle of voidability of transactions on the onset of insolvency proceedings or fraud) as such law may be applied in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings (including any preventive restructuring framework) with respect to such party.

March 30, 2026

	(b)	The German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) has ruled that insolvency-related contractual termination rights (insolvenzabhängige Lösungsklauseln) are void pursuant to Sections 119, 103 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) if contained in an agreement on the steady supply of goods or energy. The Base Indenture contains clauses providing that the debt securities will become immediately due and payable in case of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization regarding the Parent or the Company.

		As there is no court decision in place so far specifically relating to termination rights under bond indentures, we cannot rule out that the German Federal Supreme Court will also hold insolvency-related terminations rights as contained in the Indenture to be void.

		Section 44 StaRUG provides that (a) pendency of restructuring proceedings under that law or (b) the use of the instruments provided by the framework set out by the that law by a debtor alone are no reason (i) to terminate any contracts to which the debtor is a party, (ii) to declare any payments thereunder due and payable or (iii) for the other party to have a right to refuse performance or to demand adjustment or amendment of the contract. Section 44 para. 2 StaRUG provides for agreements conflicting with these provisions to be void. We can therefore not rule out that certain termination rights as agreed in the Indenture that become relevant when restructuring proceedings under the StaRUG are commenced or instruments provided by the framework set out by the StaRUG are used by a debtor are void.

(c)

The recognition and effect of a choice of law provision will, to the extent relating to contractual obligations (vertragliche Schuldverhältnisse), be subject to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I) and to German public policy (ordre public).

(d)

The recognition and effect of a choice of law provision will, to the extent relating to non-contractual obligations (außervertragliche Schuldverhältnisse), be subject to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No. 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II) and to German public policy (ordre public).

(e)

There is no final precedent in the Federal Republic of Germany for holding facsimile or electronic communications legal, valid and binding in all circumstances. However, where there are no particular legal requirements as to the form, the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) has held that any facsimile communication actually received by the addressee will be deemed validly given.

(7)

This Opinion only applies to those facts and circumstances which exist as of today’s date and we assume no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement this Opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may subsequently come to our attention, any changes in laws which may occur after today, or to inform you of any change in circumstances happening after the date of this Opinion which would alter our opinions.
