(v)The final value of Pa will be rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

(vi)The Airframe Price Adjustment will not be made if it will result in a decrease in the Aircraft Basic Price.

 

2.Values to be Utilized in the Event of Unavailability.

 

2.1          If the Bureau of Labor Statistics substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the [***] values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to the delivery of any such Aircraft, select a substitute from other Bureau of Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by non-governmental organizations. Such substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation during the applicable time period. However, if within [***] months after delivery of the Aircraft, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment; such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft from that determined at the time of delivery of the Aircraft.

 

2.2          Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior to the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics changes the base year for determination of the [***] as defined above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the Airframe Price Adjustment calculation.

 

2.3          In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the Aircraft Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or decreases consistent with the applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this Supplemental Exhibit AE1 in labor compensation and material costs occurring since August of the year prior to the price base year shown in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.4          If within [***] months of Aircraft delivery, the published index values are revised due to an acknowledged error by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Airframe Price Adjustment will be re-calculated using the revised index values (this does not include those values noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics). A credit memorandum or supplemental invoice will be issued for the Airframe Price Adjustment difference. Interest charges will not apply for the period of original invoice to issuance of credit memorandum or supplemental invoice.

 

Note:

 

(i)The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing thirty (30) days prior to the first day of the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft invoice at the

time of delivery. The values will be considered final and no Airframe Price Adjustments will be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in published index values, subject always to paragraph 2.4 above.

 

(ii)The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal after rounding utilized in any part of the Airframe Price Adjustment equation will be 4, where rounding of the fourth digit will be increased to the next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to five (5) or greater.

Subject: Clarifications and Understandings
   
Reference: Purchase Agreement No. PA-03980 (Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and China Southern Airlines Company Limited (Customer) with China Southern Airlines Group Import and Export Trading Corp., Ltd. (Consenting Party) relating to Model 737-800 aircraft (Aircraft)

 

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.Clarifications and Understandings. The following clarifications and understandings pertain to the indicated provisions of the Purchase Agreement:

 

1.1           Purchase Agreement, Article 1. Quantity, Model and Description. As set forth in the AGTA, Boeing will manufacture each aircraft to conform to the appropriate Type Certificate issued by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the specific model of aircraft and will obtain from the FAA and furnish to Buyer at delivery of each aircraft either a Standard Airworthiness Certificate or an Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.

 

The Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) has indicated to the FAA that Boeing’s manufacturing procedures meet the bi-lateral agreements between the responsible parties. The FAA uses FAR Part 25 to establish the Type Certificate. Similarly, the CAAC uses its CCAR 25 for its Type Certificate. CCAR 25 is not identical to the FAA, but the CAAC considers both to be sufficiently equivalent to recognize the FAA Type Certificate to be valid.

 

In the issuance of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness, the FAA complies with any additional CAAC requirements through the use of Advisory Circular 21-2 (AC 21-2). Such additional requirements are documented by the FAA in AC 21-2.
