BEMS ID: «BEMS_ID»

Grant Date: «Grant Date»

As part of its executive compensation program, The Boeing Company (the “Company”) has awarded you this Performance Award pursuant to The Boeing Company 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”) and the provisions contained herein (the “Notice”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. Your Performance Award is subject to the terms of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Notice and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall control. You are required to accept and acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Performance Award, through the mechanism and procedures determined by the Company, as a condition to receiving the Performance Award. The terms and conditions of the Performance Award are as follows:


1.	Target Value; Performance Period. You have been awarded a Performance Award with a target value of «Performance_Award_Amount» «Local_Currency». The Performance Period will be the period beginning January 1, _____ through December 31, _____.


2.	Performance Measure. Your Performance Award will pay out based on the Company’s performance against its _____ Long-Range Business Plan for free cash flow, core earnings per share (EPS), and revenue. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) retains discretion in calculating actual performance to exclude the impact of Nonrecurring Items.


3.	Final Award Determination. Following the end of the Performance Period, the final amount payable with respect to your Performance Award will be determined by multiplying the Company performance score for the Performance Period by the target value of your Performance Award. The Company performance score is determined as follows:

Company performance score = 50% (free cash flow score) + 25% (core EPS score) + 25% (revenue score)

Performance under each metric will be assigned a score based on a curve established by the Committee as of the Grant Date, with a 100% score corresponding to performance at target, a 150% score corresponding to performance at or above maximum, a 50% score corresponding to performance at threshold, and a 0% score corresponding to performance below threshold. For each metric, straight-line interpolation will be applied to determine the score for performance between threshold and target, and between target and maximum (provided that the score for performance below threshold will be 0%, and the score for performance at or above maximum will be 150%).

Continued Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions outlined under Section 5, this Performance Award is granted on the condition that you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company from the Grant Date through the date on which any Performance Award is paid (the “Vesting Date”). You will not have any right to payment of any Performance Award unless and until all terms, conditions, and provisions of the Performance Award program that affect you have been complied with as specified herein, including certification of the final award amount by the Committee. Your Performance Award, however, shall not impose upon the Company any obligation to retain you in its employ for any given period or upon any specific terms of employment.

Termination Due to Retirement, Layoff, Disability, or Death. In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, you shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Performance Period, provided you were on the active payroll on the Grant Date. Your Performance Award payout will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the Performance Period. Payment for the Performance Award will be made at the same time as payment would have been made pursuant to Section 8 had your employment not terminated prior to the Vesting Date. For purposes of this Performance Award, “retirement” means a voluntary termination of employment under the conditions that satisfy the definition of “retirement” under the terms of a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate. If you are not eligible to participate in such a defined benefit pension plan, “retirement” means termination of employment voluntarily by you after you have attained either (x) age 55 with 10 years of service, or (y) age 62 with one year of service. For purposes of this Performance Award, “disability” means a disability entitling you to benefits under any long-term disability policy sponsored by the Company or a Related Company.


6.	Forfeiture Upon Other Terminations. In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason (including for cause and resignation prior to retirement eligibility) other than those reasons described in Section 5, the Performance Award granted hereunder shall immediately be forfeited and canceled.

Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise required by law, in the event you have an authorized leave of absence at any time during the Performance Period which absence extends beyond three full calendar months (including any absence that began before the Grant Date), your Performance Award payout will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the Performance Period.

Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards. The Performance Award granted to you will be settled in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and paid within a reasonable period of time following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. If the Performance Award is settled in Common Stock, the Company will deliver such shares of Common Stock representing the number of shares to be issued in respect of the Performance Award. If the Performance Award is settled in cash, you shall receive a lump sum cash payment, in accordance with the terms of this Notice. The lump sum cash payment will be made in the currency in which you are paid at the time of payment of the Performance Award. The exchange rate on the first business day after the February Compensation Committee meeting following the end of the Performance Period will be used to convert payment from the currency in which the Performance Award was granted to your latest currency type as shown on your payroll record.


9.	Transferability. This Performance Award is not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution. You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Performance Award in the event of your death.


10.	Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Performance Award program shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, or consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company.


11.	Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.

11.1 This Performance Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Performance Award are subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, as amended from time to time (the “Policy”). Pursuant to the Policy, this Performance Award may be subject to clawback and forfeiture (meaning that the Performance Award must be promptly returned to the Company if already distributed, or that you will lose your entitlement to the Performance Award if it has not yet been distributed) in the discretion of the Committee, if the Committee determines that you have (i) violated, or engaged in negligent conduct in connection with the supervision of someone who violated, any Company policy, law, or regulation that has compromised the safety of any of the Company’s products or services and has, or reasonably could be expected to have, a material adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s customers or the public; or (ii) engaged in fraud, bribery, or illegal acts like fraud or bribery, or knowingly failed to report such acts of an employee over whom you had direct supervisory responsibility. In accepting this Performance Award, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of the Policy.

11.2 In addition, subject to applicable law, or except as may be otherwise provided in the Addendum, this Performance Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Performance Award are subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, prior to the second anniversary of the later of the vesting or receipt of payment of the Performance Award: you (i) plead or admit to, are convicted of, or are otherwise found guilty of a criminal or indictable offense involving theft, fraud, embezzlement, or other similar unlawful acts against the Company or against the Company’s interests; (ii) directly or indirectly engage in competition with any aspect of Company business with which you were involved or about which you gained Company proprietary or confidential information; (iii) induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s employees, representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract with the Company, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with, you or any third party; (iv) disparage or defame the Company or its products or current or former employees, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit any individual from reporting, in good faith, suspected unlawful conduct in the workplace; or (v) take, misappropriate, use or disclose Company proprietary or confidential information. Clawback can, if possible and where permitted by local law, be made by deducting payments that will become due in future (including salary, bonuses, or share awards). Your acceptance of this Performance Award shall constitute your acknowledgement and recognition that your compliance with this Section 11 is a condition for your receipt of this Performance Award. For purposes of this Section 11, the Company shall include the Company and all Related Companies.

11.3 Nothing in this Section 11 will apply to legally protected communications to government agencies or statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings.

12.

Tax Withholding. Subject to the terms of the Plan and as a condition to the grant of the Performance Award, you acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Related Company that employs you (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. If your country of residence (and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, then prior to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock or cash upon the payment of the Performance Award, the Company, the Employer, or any plan administrator, as applicable: (x) shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the payment of the Performance Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld (in which case, the cash equivalent of such withheld shares of Common Stock shall be used to settle the withholding obligation); or (y) shall withhold an amount from your regular salary and/or wages, or from any other amounts payable to you, equal to the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company, the Employer, or any plan administrator, as applicable, may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, but such withholding shall not exceed an amount of withholding based on the maximum statutory rates in your applicable tax jurisdiction(s) (unless a lesser amount of withholding is required to avoid the classification of the Performance Award as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or other adverse accounting treatment).

In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock or through your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Common Stock will be issued to you and no cash payment will be made unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company or its delegate) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to the Performance Award. If you are subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting the grant of the Performance Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Common Stock and/or the withholding of amounts from your regular salary and/or wages, or other amounts payable to you, as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Performance Award and any shares of Common Stock or cash acquired pursuant to the payment of the Performance Award are your sole responsibility.

1.	Clawback and Forfeiture Policy. The following shall modify Section 11.2 of the Notice:

Clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 11.2 shall not apply.

This Performance Award and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Performance Award are also subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, within the Restricted Period: directly or indirectly, for your own benefit or that of others, (a) be employed by or otherwise provide services to a Competing Business which is being carried out or to be carried out in any Restricted Territory; (b) set up or carry on a Competing Business which is being carried out or to be carried out in any Restricted Territory; (c) solicit, attempt to solicit, assist in soliciting, entice away, or try to entice away, from the Company or any Related Company any Key Person; or (d) be personally involved to a material extent in accepting into employment, recruiting, engaging, or otherwise using the services of any Key Person. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the restrictions contained in this Section prevent you from holding any shares or other securities in any company or from doing anything for which the Company has given its prior written consent. The Company encourages you to seek such consent if necessary.

The restrictions this Section are considered by the parties to be fair and reasonable in all circumstances. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section, including the sub-paragraphs and sub-clauses thereof, constitutes an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction. If any restriction is found to be invalid this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other restrictions. It is agreed that if any such restrictions by themselves, or taken together, are for any reason unenforceable, but would be enforceable if part or parts of the wording were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such deletion(s) as may be necessary to make it or them valid and enforceable.

For the purposes of this Section, any capitalized terms shall have the following meaning:

“Competing Business” means any business which competes with or is preparing to compete with (a) any business carried on by the Company or any Related Company; or (b) any business which the Company or any Related Company is proposing to carry on and has taken material steps towards conducting; and in each of cases (a) and (b) in respect of which business of the Company or Related Company you: (i) had material responsibilities (including, without limitation, supervisory or management responsibilities) or carried out material duties; or (ii) otherwise obtained Relevant Confidential Information, in each case in the course of your employment.

“Key Person” means any employee, director, or consultant engaged by the Company or any Related Company who provides or has provided executive, managerial, supervisory, financial, engineering, creative, professional, technical, account handling, or similar services to the Company or any Related Company (a) with whom you have had material dealings; or (b) in respect of whom you have obtained Relevant Confidential Information about their skills, role, responsibilities, expertise, or other Relevant Confidential Information or material nonpublic information relevant to their potential recruitment or engagement, in each case at any time during the course of your employment.

“Relevant Confidential Information” means information not generally known outside the Company or any Related Company or information entrusted to the Company or any Related Company by third parties, which may relate (by way of example and without limitation) to inventions, formulas, patterns, devices, methods, processes, computer technology and programming, research, development, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, marketing, or selling, and may be contained (by way of example and without limitation) in materials such as drawings, models, data, specifications, records, reports, complications, or computer programs, and may be in the nature of unwritten knowledge or know-how, in each case, that may or would be of value to any business which competes or is preparing to compete with the Company or a Related Company.

“Restricted Period” means the period ending on the earlier of: (a) the second anniversary of the later of the Vesting Date or the payment date for the Performance Award; or (b) the six month anniversary of your termination of employment.

“Restricted Territory” means: (a) the United Kingdom; or (b) any other country where the Company or a Related Company carries out business and in relation to which you have had material responsibilities (including, without limitation, supervisory or management responsibilities) or carried out material duties during the course of your employment; or (c) any other country where the Company or a Related Company carries out business and in relation to which you acquired Relevant Confidential Information during the course of your employment.


2.	Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding. The following provision shall replace Section 12 of this Notice:

Without limitation to Section 12 of this Notice, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 12 of this Notice.

Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you shall have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment with the Company or any Related Company for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vesting in your Performance Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of your Performance Award. Upon the grant of your Performance Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.

Brexit. To the extent that the United Kingdom is no longer a part of the European Union following the United Kingdom’s anticipated withdrawal from the European Union, but the laws discussed herein still apply to the United Kingdom for a period of time following the anticipated withdrawal, all references to the European Union shall include the United Kingdom, unless otherwise stated in this document.
