Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The following is a summary of the statutes, charter and bylaw provisions or other arrangements under which the Registrants’ directors and officers are insured or indemnified against liability in their capacities as such. As the Registrants are constituted in varying jurisdictions, there are a number of applicable statutes.

Registrants Incorporated Under Delaware Law

Owens Corning, Engineered Pipe Systems, Inc., Eric Company, IPM Inc., Owens-Corning Funding Corporation, Owens Corning HOMExperts, Inc., Owens Corning HT, Inc. and Thermafiber, Inc. are each incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right of the corporation—a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.

Article Ten of Owens Corning’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Owens Corning shall, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he or she, his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of Owens Corning or by reason of the fact that such person, at the request of Owens Corning, is or was serving as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. No director of Owens Corning shall be personally liable to Owens Corning or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Owens Corning or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

Article IX of Owens Corning’s amended and restated bylaws provides that Owens Corning shall, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify any and all persons who may serve or who have served at any time as directors or officers of Owens Corning, or who may serve or at any time have served at the request of Owens Corning as directors, managers, officers, employees or agents of another corporation (including subsidiaries of Owens Corning) or of any partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and any directors or officers of Owens Corning who at the request of Owens Corning may serve or at any time have served as agents or fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan of Owens Corning or any of its subsidiaries, from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by law, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. Owens Corning may also indemnify any and all other persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under any applicable law, to the extent authorized or permitted by such law.

In addition to the provisions of the amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, Owens Corning has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its directors, to indemnify the directors to the fullest extent permitted by the amended and restated bylaws. Owens Corning also maintains directors and officers insurance to insure such persons against certain liabilities.

 

II-1


The certificates of incorporation and/or bylaws of Engineered Pipe Systems, Inc., Eric Company, IPM Inc., Owens-Corning Funding Corporation, Owens Corning HOMExperts, Inc., Owens Corning HT, Inc. and Thermafiber, Inc. provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware.

Registrants Incorporated Under Kentucky Law

Soltech, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the state of Kentucky. Section 271B.8-510 of the Kentucky Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) (a) he conducted himself in good faith; (b) he honestly believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The amended and restated articles of incorporation of Soltech, Inc. provide for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Kentucky.

Registrants Incorporated Under Wisconsin Law

CDC Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the state of Wisconsin. Under Section 180.0851 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, a corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding, if such person was a party to such proceeding because he or she was a director or officer of the corporation. In all other cases, the corporation shall indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a proceeding to which such person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the corporation, unless liability was incurred because he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant and such breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a material conflict of interest; (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. Section 180.0858 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that subject to certain limitations, the mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that a director or officer may have under (a) the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, (b) a written agreement between the director or officer and the corporation, (c) a resolution of the corporation’s board of directors, or (d) a resolution that is adopted, after notice, by a majority of all of the corporation’s voting shares then issued and outstanding.

Section 180.0859 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that it is the public policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification, allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent required or permitted under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law for any liability incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state statute, rule or regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of securities.

CDC Corporation’s bylaws provide for indemnification for any director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Wisconsin.

Registrants Incorporated Under Oregon Law

InterWrap Corp. is incorporated under the laws of the state of Oregon. Section 60.391 of the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “OBCA”) provides, in relevant part, that a corporation may indemnify any director who is made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the conduct of the individual was in good faith, (ii) the individual reasonably believed that the individual’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to its best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the corporation may not indemnify an individual if (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (ii) in connection with a proceeding that charged the director with and adjudged the director liable for improperly receiving a personal benefit.

Section 60.394 of the OBCA provides that, unless otherwise limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify any director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. Section 60.401 of the OBCA provides that, unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a court may order indemnification if it determines that the director is entitled to indemnification under Section 60.394 or that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances whether or not the director met the good faith and reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in the statute.

In addition, Section 60.407 of the OBCA provides, in relevant part, that, unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, any officer is entitled to such indemnification to the same extent as a director under Section 60.394 and Section 60.401, and that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director under Sections 60.387 to 60.411.

Section 60.047 of the OBCA provides that a corporation may in its articles of incorporation eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director except for liability: for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; for any unlawful distribution under Section 60.367 of the OBCA (pertaining to certain prohibited acts including unlawful distributions); or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section 60.414 of the OBCA also provides that the statutory indemnification provisions are not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors or officers may be entitled under a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, general or specific action of the board of directors, vote of shareholders or otherwise. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of InterWrap Corp. provide that such registrant indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent allowed by Oregon law.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”);

(ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)    to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form SF-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Act to any purchaser:

(i)    Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)    Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided , however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

 

II-6


(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)    The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)    Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

WHEREAS, the Company, Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered supplemental indentures, dated as of June 8, 2009, May 26, 2010, October 22, 2012, November 12, 2014 and August 8, 2016, providing for the establishment of series of Securities designated as the “9.000% Senior Notes due 2019,” “4.200% Senior Notes due 2022,” 4.200% Senior Notes due 2024” and “3.400% Senior Notes due 2026 (herein collectively referred to as the “Notes”), the form, substance, terms, provisions and conditions of which are set forth as provided in the Indenture;

WHEREAS, each Guaranteeing Subsidiary, concurrently with the execution of this Supplemental Indenture, will guarantee the Company’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and will execute and deliver the Note Guarantee to the Trustee;


WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Company and the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries desire to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture, have requested the Trustee join with them in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and in accordance with Section 9.05 of the Indenture have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of this Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture, and in accordance with and Section 11.03 of the Indenture have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture have been complied with; and

Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

4.    NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by Owens Corning and the Guarantors

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), the guarantors listed on Annex A hereto (each, a “ Covered Guarantor ” and, collectively, the “ Covered Guarantors ”) and the guarantors listed on Annex B hereto (each, a “ Non-Covered Guarantor ” and, collectively, the “ Non-Covered Guarantors ”, and, collectively with the Covered Guarantors, the “ Guarantors ”) in connection with the authorization of the issuance and sale from time to time, on a delayed basis, by the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, of: (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”); (ii) debt securities of the Company (the “ Debt Securities ”), in one or more series; and (iii) guarantees of the Company’s obligations under the Debt Securities by the Guarantors (the “ Guarantees ”), in each case as contemplated by the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-202011), as amended by a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to which this opinion is filed as an exhibit (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “ Registration Statement ”). The Common Stock, the Debt Securities and the Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “ Securities .” The Securities may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Securities Act ”).

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing and subject to the further assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. The shares of Common Stock, upon receipt by the Company of such lawful consideration therefor as the Company’s Board of Directors (or an authorized committee thereof) may determine, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

  2. The Debt Securities, upon receipt by the Company of such lawful consideration therefor as the Company’s Board of Directors (or an authorized committee thereof) may determine, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel in the State of Oregon (“ Oregon ”) to InterWrap Corp., an Oregon corporation (the “ Opinion Party ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the Company’s and the Guarantors’ (as that term is defined below) filing of a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, the “ Registration Statement ”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on June 21, 2017 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and the rules and regulations under the Securities Act. As more particularly described in the Registration Statement, the Company may issue certain debt securities from time to time in one or more series (the “ Debt Securities ”), under the Indenture (the “ Base Indenture ”) dated as of June 2, 2009, among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company described therein as guarantors (“ Guarantors ”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “ First Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of June 8, 2009, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, as further amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “ Second Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of May 26, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, as further amended and supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “ Third Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of October 22, 2012, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, as further amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “ Fourth Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of November 12, 2014, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, as further amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “ Fifth Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of August 8, 2016, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, as further amended and supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “ Sixth Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of October 3, 2016, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the Trustee, and as further amended and supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “ Seventh Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of February 27, 2017, among the Company, the Guarantors named as a party thereto and the

Trustee, which Debt Securities will be guaranteed by the Opinion Party. The Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture are collectively referred to herein as the “ Indenture ”.

For purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon (i) a copy of the Registration Statement, (ii) a copy of the Indenture as publicly filed, (iii) a copy of the Articles of Incorporation of the Opinion Party as amended to date, as certified by the Secretary of State of Oregon on June 16, 2017 (the “ Articles of Incorporation ”), (iv) a Certificate of Existence for the Opinion Party, as issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon on June 16, 2017 (the “ Certificate of Existence ”); (v) a copy of the bylaws of the Opinion Party, as certified by the Treasurer of the Opinion Party (the “ Bylaws ”); and (vi) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Opinion Party, certified by the Treasurer of the Opinion Party as the resolutions that are in effect on the date hereof. As to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinions, we also have examined and relied on a certificate of an officer of the Opinion Party (the “ Fact Certificate ”). In such review, we have assumed, without investigation, that (a) each document submitted to us is accurate and complete; (b) each such document that is an original is authentic; (c) each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original; and (d) all signatures on each such document are genuine. We have further assumed, without investigation, the legal capacity of natural persons, and we have assumed that each party to the documents we have examined or relied on has the legal capacity or authority and has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to that party to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against that party.

We also have assumed without investigation that (i) the Registration Statement and the Indenture have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by all parties to the Registration Statement and the Indenture other than the Opinion Party and (ii) the Opinion Party’s execution, delivery, or performance of the Registration Statement and the Indenture will not breach, violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under any agreement (other than the Registration Statement and the Indenture), contract, or obligation of the Opinion Party. We have further assumed, without investigation, the receipt or making of any consent, approval, order, or authorization of, and the effectiveness of any registration or filing with, any third party or governmental body that is required to be received or made by any party in connection with the execution, delivery, and filing of the Registration Statement or the Indenture or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that, on the date hereof:

1.    The Opinion Party is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Oregon.

2.    The Opinion Party has the corporate power and authority to enter into, and perform its obligations under, the Indenture.
