relating to

 

BOEING MODEL 777-300ER AIRCRAFT

 

1.          Formula.

 

Airframe and Optional Features price adjustments (Airframe Price Adjustment) are used to allow prices to be stated in current year dollars at the signing of this Purchase Agreement and to adjust the amount to be paid by Customer at delivery for the effects of economic fluctuation. The Airframe Price Adjustment will be determined at the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the following formula:

 

***

 

Where:

 

***

 

Where:

 

ECIb is the base year airframe escalation index (as set forth in Table 1 and Table 2 of this Purchase Agreement);

 

ECI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment Cost Index for NAICS Aircraft Manufacturing - Wages and Salaries (BLS Series ID CIU20232110000001), calculated by establishing a three-month arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the *** prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft. As the Employment Cost Index values are only released on a quarterly basis, the value released for ***

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 *** 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.

 

CEA-PA-03746-AE1    
    AE1 Page 3
  BOEING PROPRIETARY  

 

 
 

 

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 *** of Aircraft delivery, the published index values are revised due to an acknowleded 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:Special Matters relating to COTS Software and End User License Agreements

 

Reference:Purchase Agreement No. PA-03746 (Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and China Eastern Airlines Corporation, Ltd. (Customer) relating to Model 777-300ER 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.

 

Recitals

 

1.           Certain third party, commercial off-the-shelf software products are available to perform various functions required in the Aircraft (COTS Software).

 

2.           The industry practice with respect to COTS Software is to permit manufacturers to install the software in products for sale to customers. The manufacturer is required to pass to the customer an End User License Agreement (EULA), which covers the right to use the COTS Software. The EULA also requires each user of the product to further license the software and pass the EULA to any user to whom he transfers the product.

 

3.           Because of the described industry practice with respect to COTS Software, Boeing does not acquire title to COTS Software and cannot pass title to COTS Software at the time of delivery of the Aircraft.

 

4.           Therefore, the parties desire to amend certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement to properly reflect the respective rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the COTS Software included in the Aircraft.

 

Agreement

 

1.           At delivery of the Aircraft, Boeing will furnish to Customer copies of all EULA’s applicable to the Aircraft, and Customer agrees to comply with all provisions of the applicable EULA’s.

 

2.           Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 6.3 of the AGTA, at delivery of each Aircraft, Boeing will provide Customer a bill of sale conveying good title, free of encumbrances except as provided in applicable EULA’s.

 

3.           In connection with any sale or other transfer of the Aircraft, Customer agrees to comply with all provisions of the applicable EULA’s, including without limitation the re-licensing of the software to Customer’s transferee and the flow down within such license of the further requirement that Customer’s transferee comply with and flow to other transferees the obligations of the EULA.

Reference:Purchase Agreement No. PA-03746 (Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and China Eastern Airlines Corporation, Ltd.

(Customer) relating to Model 777-300ER 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.

 

Customer has requested that Boeing install in the Aircraft the in-flight entertainment and cabin communications systems (IFE/CCS) described in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement.

 

Because of the complexity of the IFE/CCS, special attention and additional resources will be required during the development, integration, certification, and manufacture of the Aircraft to achieve proper operation of the IFE/CCS at the time of delivery of the Aircraft. To assist Customer, Boeing will perform the functions of project manager (Project Manager) as set forth in Attachment B.

 

1.Responsibilities.

1.1.1    provide Customer’s IFE/CCS system requirements to Boeing;

 

1.1.2    select the IFE/CCS suppliers (Suppliers) from among those suppliers identified in the Option(s) listed in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement, on or before Jan 2, 2013, or as otherwise formally offered by Boeing;

 

1.1.3    promptly after selecting Suppliers, participate with Boeing in meetings with Suppliers to ensure that Supplier’s functional system specifications meet Customer’s and Boeing’s respective requirements. Such functional systems specifications define functionality to which Boeing will test prior to delivery but is not a guarantee of functionality at delivery;

 

1.1.4    select Supplier part numbers;

 

1.1.5    negotiate and obtain agreements on product assurance, product support following Aircraft delivery (including spares support), and any other special business arrangements directly with Suppliers;

1.1.6    provide pricing information for part numbers selected above to Boeing by a mutually selected date;

 

1.1.7    negotiate and obtain agreements with any required service providers; and

 

1.1.8    include in Customer’s contract with any seat supplier a condition obligating such seat supplier to enter into and comply with a Boeing approved bonded stores agreement. This bonded stores agreement will set forth the procedures concerning the use, handling and storage for the Boeing owned IFE/CCS equipment during the time such equipment is under the seat supplier’s control.

 

1.2Boeing will;

 

1.2.1    perform the Project Manager functions stated in Attachment B;

 

1.2.2    provide Aircraft interface requirements to Suppliers;

 

1.2.3    assist Suppliers in the development of their IFE/CCS system specifications and approve such specifications;

2.2         Customer’s Software. The software accessible to the Aircraft passengers which controls Customer’s specified optional features is Customer’s Software and is not part of the IFE/CCS.

 

2.2.1 Customer is solely responsible for specifying Customer’s Software functional and performance requirements and ensuring that Customer’s Software meets such requirements. Customer and Customer’s Software supplier will have total responsibility for the writing, certification, modification, revision, or correction of any of Customer’s Software.

Cabin Systems Equipment   LA Page 2
  BOEING PROPRIETARY  

 

 
 

 

 

2.2.2    The omission of any Customer’s Software or the lack of any functionality of Customer’s Software will not be a valid condition for Customer’s rejection of the Aircraft at the time of Aircraft delivery.

 

2.2.3    Boeing has no obligation to approve any documentation to support Customer’s Software certification. Boeing will only review and operate Customer’s Software if in Boeing’s reasonable opinion such review and operation is necessary to certify the IFE/CCS system on the Aircraft.

 

2.2.4    Boeing will not be responsible for obtaining FAA certification for Customer’s Software.

 

3.Changes.

 

3.1         After Boeing and Supplier have entered into a contract for the purchase of the IFE/CCS, changes to such contract may only be made by Boeing. Any Customer request for changes to the IFE/CCS specification after the Boeing/Supplier contract has been signed must be made in writing directly to Boeing. Boeing shall respond to such request by Customer in a timely manner. If such change is technically feasible and Boeing has the resources and time to incorporate such change, then Boeing shall negotiate with the Supplier to incorporate such change into the contract for the IFE/CCS. Any Supplier price increase resulting from such a change will be negotiated between Customer and Supplier.

 

3.2         Boeing and Customer recognize that the developmental nature of the IFE/CCS may require changes to the IFE/CCS or the Aircraft in order to ensure (i) compatibility of the IFE/CCS with the Aircraft and all other Aircraft systems, and (ii) FAA certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed therein. In such event Boeing will notify Customer and recommend to Customer the most practical means for incorporating any such change. If within fifteen (15) days after such notification Customer and Boeing through negotiations cannot mutually agree on the incorporation of any such change or alternate course of action, then the remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 6 shall apply.

 

3.3         The incorporation into the Aircraft of any mutually agreed change to the IFE/CCS may result in Boeing adjusting the price of the Option(s) contained in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement.

 

3.4         Boeing’s obligation to obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed is limited to the IFE/CCS as described in Attachment A, as Attachment A may be amended from time to time.

Boeing shall notify Customer in a timely manner in the event of a default by a Supplier under the Supplier’s contract with Boeing. Within fifteen (15) days of Customer’s receipt of such notification, Boeing and Customer shall agree through negotiations on an alternative Supplier or other course of action. If Boeing and Customer are unable to agree on an alternative Supplier or course of action within such time, the remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 6 shall apply.

If Customer does not comply with any of its obligations set forth herein, Boeing may:

 

6.1         delay delivery of the Aircraft; or

 

6.2         deliver the Aircraft without part or all of the IFE/CCS installed, or with part or all of the IFE/CCS inoperative;

 

6.3         increase the Aircraft Price by the amount of Boeing’s additional costs attributable to such noncompliance.

 

7.Advance Payments.

 

7.1         Estimated Price for the IFE/CCS. An estimated price for the IFE/CCS purchased by Boeing will be included in the Aircraft Advance Payment Base Price to establish the advance payments for each Aircraft and shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

 

7.2         Aircraft Price. The Aircraft Price will include the actual IFE/CCS prices and any associated transportation costs charged Boeing by Suppliers.

 

8.Customer’s Indemnification of Boeing.

 

Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Boeing from and against all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of Customer but not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or damage to any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way connected with any nonconformance or defect in any IFE/CCS, or in the installation thereof or in the provision of services hereunder, and whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Boeing. This indemnity will not apply with respect to any nonconformance or defect caused solely by Boeing’s installation of the IFE/CCS.
