Where:

 

[***] is the base year index (as set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement); and

 

[**] is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor [********************************************************************************************] ID [****************], calculated as a three (3) month arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the 11th, 12th, and 13th months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft.

 

[***********************]

 

Where:

 

N is the number of calendar months which have elapsed from the Airframe Price base year and month up to and including the month of delivery, both as shown in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement. The entire calculation of [************] will be rounded to 4 places, and the final value of B will be rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

As an example, for an Aircraft scheduled to be delivered in the month of July, the months of June, July, and August of the preceding year will be utilized in determining the value of [**********]

 

Note:

 

(i)In determining the values of L and M, all calculations and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.

 

(ii)[***] is the numeric ratio attributed to labor in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

(iii)[***] is the numeric ratio attributed to materials in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

(iv)The denominators (base year indices) are the actual average values reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The actual average values are calculated as a three (3) month arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the 11th, 12th and 13th months prior to the airframe base year. The applicable base year and corresponding denominator is provided by Boeing in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement.

(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 ECI and ICI 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 twenty-four (24) 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 ECI and ICI values 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 twelve (12) 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.

  guarantees set forth in this Attachment shall be appropriately modified to reflect any such change.

 

4.4The takeoff and landing guarantees and the takeoff portion of the mission guarantees are based on hard surface, level and dry runways with no wind or obstacles, no clearway or stopway, 225 mph tires, with Category B brakes and anti-skid operative, and with the Aircraft center of gravity at the most forward limit unless otherwise specified. The takeoff performance is based on no engine bleed for air conditioning or thermal anti-icing and the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) turned off unless otherwise specified. Unbalanced field length calculations and the improved climb performance procedure will be used for takeoff as required. The landing performance is based on the use of automatic spoilers.

 

4.5The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission guarantees include allowances for normal power extraction and engine bleed for normal operation of the air conditioning system. The digital bleed is set for the Customer interior in Paragraph 2.3.5. No bleed or power extraction for thermal anti-icing is provided unless otherwise specified. The APU is turned off unless otherwise specified.

 

4.6Long Range Cruise (LRC) speed is defined to be the highest speed where cruise fuel mileage is 99 percent of the maximum cruise fuel mileage.

 

4.7The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission guarantees are based on an Aircraft center of gravity location, as determined by Boeing, not to be aft of 26.2 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord.

 

4.8Performance, where applicable, is based on a fuel Lower Heating Value (LHV) of 18,580 BTU per pound and a fuel density of 6.5 pounds per U.S. gallon.

 

5GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE

 

5.1Compliance with the guarantees of Section 2 shall be based on the conditions specified in that section, the Aircraft configuration of Section 3 and the guarantee conditions of Section 4.

Subject: Open Matters
   
Reference: Purchase Agreement No. PA-03981 (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 737-8 aircraft (Aircraft)

 

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

 

Given the long period of time between Purchase Agreement signing and delivery of the first Aircraft and the continued development of the 737-7/8/9 program, certain elements have not yet been defined. In consideration, Boeing and Customer agree to work together as the 737-7/8/9 program develops as follows:

 

1.Aircraft Delivery Schedule.

 

1.1           The scheduled delivery position of the Aircraft, as of the date of this Letter Agreement is listed in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement and provides the delivery schedule in [********************************************************************************] consisting of a nominal delivery month (Nominal Delivery Month) [***************] [***************]. No later than [***************************] prior to the Nominal Delivery Month of Customer’s first Aircraft in each calendar year, Boeing will provide written notice with a revised Table 1 of the scheduled delivery month for each Aircraft with a Nominal Delivery Month in such calendar year.

 

1.2           Prior to providing such notice described in Article 1.1, Boeing will consider and make reasonable efforts to accommodate Customer requests regarding Aircraft quantities in certain periods. Such notice provided by Boeing will constitute an amendment to the Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement. The amended Table 1 shall be the scheduled delivery positions for the purposes of applying all provisions of the Purchase Agreements, including without limitation the BFE on-dock dates, and the

calculation of Escalation Adjustment; however, the amended Table 1 will not revise or change the Advance Payment Base Price for the Aircraft.

 

2.Aircraft Configuration.

 

2.1           The initial configuration of Customer's Model 737-8 Aircraft has been defined by Boeing Model 737-8 basic specification [**********************************], [*********], and will be configured as described in Article 1 and Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement (Initial Configuration). Final configuration of the Aircraft (Final Configuration) will be completed using the then-current Boeing configuration documentation in accordance with the following schedule:

 

2.1.1           No later than [*******************] prior to the first Aircraft's scheduled delivery, Boeing and Customer will discuss potential optional features.

 

2.1.2           Within [********************] after that meeting, Boeing will provide Customer with a proposal for those optional features that can be incorporated into the Aircraft during production.

 

2.1.3           Customer will then have [*********************] to accept or reject the optional features.

 

2.1.4           Within [*******************] following Final Configuration, Boeing and Customer will execute a written amendment to the Purchase Agreement which will reflect the following:

 

(i)changes applicable to the basic Model 737-8 aircraft which are developed by Boeing between the date of signing of the Purchase Agreement and date of Final Configuration;

 

(ii)incorporation into Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement, by written amendment, those optional features which have been agreed to by Customer and Boeing (Customer Configuration Changes);

 

(iii)revisions to the Supplemental Exhibit BFE1 to reflect the selection dates and on-dock dates of BFE; and

 

(iv)changes to the Optional Features Prices, and Aircraft Basic Price to adjust for the difference, if any, between the prices estimated in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement for optional features reflected in the Aircraft Basic Price and the actual prices of the optional features reflected in the Customer

Configuration Changes. Such changes will not result in a change to the Advance Payment Base Price provided in Table 1.

 

3.Customer Support Variables.

 

3.1           The initial customer support package contained in Supplemental Exhibit CS1 to the Purchase Agreement is predicated upon the 737NG customer support package. Boeing intends to further refine the post delivery support package for the 737-8 and will provide this revised package to Customer no later than twenty four (24) months prior to the first month of the scheduled delivery quarter of the first Aircraft. The provision of such revised Supplemental Exhibit CS1 will constitute an amendment to the Purchase Agreement and will provide the Customer in aggregate an overall Boeing post delivery support package that is equivalent to, or better than, the Supplemental Exhibit CS1 included in the Purchase Agreement as of the date of this Letter Agreement.

 

3.2           Additionally, Boeing will engage in discussions with Customer in conjunction with the providing of the updated Supplemental Exhibit CS1 to offer to Customer additional uniquely tailored post delivery support services beyond the scope of the Supplemental Exhibit CS1 that will further enhance the maintainability and operational efficiency of the Aircraft.

 

4.Other Letter Agreements.

 

Boeing and Customer acknowledge that as they work together to develop the 737-8 program and as Boeing refines the definition of the Aircraft and associated production processes, there may be a need to execute or amend letter agreements addressing one (1) or more of the following:

 

4.1           Software. Additional provisions relating to software and software loading.

 

4.2           Seller Purchased Equipment (SPE) and/or In-Flight Entertainment (IFE). Provisions relating to the terms under which Boeing may offer or install SPE in the Aircraft.

 

4.3           Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE). Provisions relating to the terms under which Boeing may install and certify Customer’s BFE in the Aircraft.

Subject:Clarifications and Understandings

 

Reference:Purchase Agreement No. PA-03981 (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 737-8 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.

 

1.2           Purchase Agreement, Article 4. Payment.

 

GUN-PA-03981-LA-1303714  
Clarifications and Understandings LA Page 1

BOEING PROPRIETARY

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission

 

 

 

 

 

Article 4.2 refers to payments due on the “effective date” of the Purchase Agreement. Article 4.3 refers to payments due “upon signing” of the Purchase Agreement. The effective date of the Purchase Agreement is the day it is signed by Boeing, Customer and the Consenting Party. Such date appears in the first sentence of the Purchase Agreement and again just above the signature blocks of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. For clarification purposes, Boeing will provide invoices for all payments due under the Purchase Agreement to facilitate payment by Customer.

 

1.3           Purchase Agreement, Article 5.7. Public Disclosure.

 

For clarity, Customer may make a public announcement regarding Customer’s purchase of the Aircraft upon approval of Customer’s press release by Boeing’s public relations department or other authorized representative.

 

2.          AGTA Article 5.3 Demonstration Flights.

 

For clarity, demonstration flights are to demonstrate the function of the Aircraft only to Customer and not for marketing or commercial activities with Boeing’s other customers.

 

3.          AGTA Article 5.5 Special Aircraft Test Requirements.

 

Customer is concerned for the potential that flight and ground test hours on any Aircraft could [***************]. As an accommodation for Customer’s concern, Boeing will notify Customer for any flight and ground testing that would exceed [**********] on an Aircraft. Customer and Boeing agree to discuss the matter if tests are for purposes other than the flight and ground tests described in Article 5.5 (i) and (ii) of the AGTA. For the avoidance of doubt, Boeing flight and ground tests will not [************ **************************************** ******************************].

 

4.          AGTA Article 6, Delivery.

 

Customer is concerned events may occur affecting Customer’s ability to take delivery of an Aircraft on the scheduled delivery date. As an accommodation for Customer’s concern, Boeing will work with the Customer to adjust the delivery date for [*****************] in the Purchase Agreement within the [*********************************] long as Customer provides a notice to Boeing within [*********************] after receiving Boeing’s delivery notice on that Aircraft, and, notwithstanding Article 6.4 of the AGTA, Delay, Customer will not be responsible for any of Boeing’s costs as a result of such adjustment.

 

5.          AGTA Article 8.2 Insurance.

 

Customer is concerned about aircraft insurance requirements under Article 8.2 after Customer has sold an aircraft to a new owner. For clarity, after Customer has transferred the title of an aircraft to the new owner, Customer will be released from providing certificate of insurance to Boeing for that specific aircraft after Customer has provided Boeing the notification of such post-delivery sale (AGTA Appendix III provides such a reference notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is not released from

its obligation under Articles 8.2 during any period which Customer has control or possession of an aircraft.

 

6.          AGTA Exhibit A, Buyer Furnished Equipment,

 

6.1           Article 7. Title and Risk of Loss. For clarification purposes, the last sentence of Article 7.1 of Exhibit A of the AGTA will provide Customer the greater of protection provided by Boeing’s liability as a bailee for [********************************] by [**************************************************]. In either case, Boeing will not be liable for loss of use.

 

6.2           Article 9 Indemnification of Boeing. This last sentence of Article 9 shall be modified to read: “This indemnity will not apply with respect to any nonconformance or defect caused solely by Boeing's storage, handling, and installation of the BFE.”

 

7.          Purchase Agreement Exhibit B, Aircraft Delivery Requirements and Responsibilities.

 

7.1           Article 1.1, Airworthiness and Registration Documents. The first sentence of Article 1.1 shall be modified to read: “Airworthiness and Registration Documents. Not later than [*****************] prior to delivery of each Aircraft, Customer will notify Boeing of the registration number to be painted on the side of the Aircraft.” Customer and Boeing also agree to work together to minimize the impact related to Customer’s notification to Boeing of the aircraft SELCAL and Mode-S information.

 

7.2           Article 1.2, Certificate of Sanitary Construction. For clarification purposes and pursuant to Article 1.2.2, Customer has elected to receive the Certificate of Sanitary Construction at the time of Aircraft delivery.

 

7.3           Article 4.1, Schedule of Inspections, and Article 4.2, Schedule for Demonstration Flights. Articles identify parties that participate in such actions and the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) may also participate in these actions.

 

7.4           Article 4.4, Fuel Provided by Boeing. In addition to the fuel provided by Boeing pursuant to Article 4.4, Boeing assists its customers with certain unique services or accommodation items at [******************]. If requested, Boeing provides oil and hydraulic fluid for the ferry flight. Also, if Customer does not load its own navigation database for ferry flight, Boeing will provide a limited-time use database for the ferry flight.

14.         CAAC regulatory information

 

GUN-PA-03981-LA-1303714  
Clarifications and Understandings LA Page 5

BOEING PROPRIETARY

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission

 

 

 

 

 

It is recognized that the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) works with certain aircraft-related information, including Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS), Validation of Type Certificate Data Sheets (VTCDS), Aircraft Letter of Definition (ALOD) in order to issue to Customer the necessary aircraft certificates for operating the Aircraft in China. Boeing agrees to work with the relevant regulatory entities on a timely basis to support the process providing such information to the CAAC.

 

15.         Assignment

 

15.1         Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Purchase Agreement, if Customer requests to assign an Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement to an assignee which Customer or China Southern Airlines Holding Company directly controls or holds [*****************************], Customer will work with Boeing in accordance with the lead-time and charges required for configuration changes and Boeing will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the assignment of Customer’s rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement as relates to the specific Aircraft or post-delivery entitlements (collectively “Assigned Rights”), including but not limited to all rights and obligations with respect to advance payments already paid to Boeing under the Purchase Agreement.

 

15.2         Any such assignment will be in the form acceptable to Boeing (AGTA Appendix II provides such a reference form), including the undertaking by Customer to be bound by the DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE and EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHER DAMAGES provisions set forth in Article 11 of Part 2 of Exhibit C to the AGTA.

 

16.         Regulatory Approval, Validated Type Certificate (VTC).

 

It is recognized that obtaining the 737-8 Validated Type Certificate (VTC) is necessary for Customer to import and use the Aircraft in China. Customer has requested that Boeing take responsibility for obtaining the VTC for the 737-8. While Boeing recognizes Customer’s concern regarding VTC for the 737-8, Boeing is not able to accept responsibility for obtaining the VTC from the CAAC. If the lack of VTC approval results in the delay of an Aircraft delivery, such a delay would be an Excusable Delay (as defined in Article 7.1 of the AGTA). However, Boeing commits to support the process of obtaining the VTC and Customer’s efforts (as applicable) towards the same as described herein. In support of obtaining VTC approval, Boeing will be responsible for: (1) assessing the applicable regulatory requirements, (2) generating data and analysis to reasonably support the approval requirements, (3) submitting such information to the applicable regulatory agency, and (4) supporting discussions with regulators to assist in the evaluation of the Boeing submittal.

 

This will be accomplished through an Option (similar to Options [***************] and [*************] in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 of Purchase Agreement No. PA-3263) to support an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft.

1.Advance Payments for the Aircraft – Due on the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement.

 

It is understood that Customer’s ability to make advance payments described in Articles 4.2 and 4.3 of the Purchase Agreement may be impacted due to monetary issues.

If Boeing reschedules any or all of the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4 above, then Customer and Boeing will complete a Supplemental Agreement to document the revised Aircraft delivery schedules within [****************] after [*******************************] notice is given.
