5. Deferral Charges on Deferred Advance Payments:

The foregoing reduced advance payment schedules constitute a deferral of certain amounts due Boeing pursuant to the advance payment schedule as set forth in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, and Table 1-3 of the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, if Customer chooses to utilize the reduced advance payment schedules(s), Customer shall pay deferral charges to Boeing on all such deferred amounts of the advance payments for the Aircraft.

Deferral charges on all deferred advance payment amounts will be calculated on the basis of the LIBOR rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, U. S. Edition, effective on the date of Purchase Agreement execution, and reset periodically as the LIBOR rate fluctuates, plus one percent (1.0%). This deferral charge will be calculated on a 365/366 day year.

Deferral charge payments will be due from Customer to Boeing on the first business day of each calendar quarter, for the previous calendar quarter, and will be computed on the basis of the actual number of elapsed days for the period commencing on the date such deferred amounts would have been due and terminating on the date of delivery of the designated Aircraft.

Further to the above, following the calculation method stated above, all such calendar quarter deferral charge payments may be further deferred such that all deferral charge payments for each of the Aircraft will be made at the time of each such Aircraft delivery.

 

6. Re-Scheduling of Aircraft:

In the event of a re-schedule, to a later delivery position, of any of the Aircraft under the terms of the Agreement, Boeing will recalculate the amount of advance payments and deferral charges due from Customer under the above described deferred Advance Payment Schedule after giving effect to such re-scheduling and, without interest, refund to Customer within 5 business days any amounts held by Boeing in excess of such recalculated amounts.

Memo Number: B-R502-16-062

Revision: E

Offerable Seat Product List for 787 Passenger Seats

Valid through 15-SEP-2017

Instructions

This Memo consists of two sections; the current Boeing Qualified Supplier List and the Customer Specific Offerable Seat Product List.

In order to support an airline’s contractual supplier selection dates, the Boeing Contracts Regional Director requests the Customer-Specific Offerable Passenger Seat Products List after the details for customer’s unique program are established. The Customer-Specific Offerable Passenger Seat Products List is developed based on considerations such as the customer’s unique program particulars — including airplane schedules, delivery stream, and configuration complexities — in conjunction with an assessment of each seat supplier’s performance, capacity, and capability. Certain seat products may be deemed not offerable or offerable with constraints based on this review, subject to Project Based Offerability.

Boeing reserves the right to limit, change, or modify the Qualified Supplier List and Customer-Specific Offerable Passenger Seat Product List when required. Current release supersedes all prior revisions.

For additional information, please contact your 787 Customer Engineering Account Manager.

Changes to delivery stream, aircraft quantity, or supplier performance might require a re-evaluation — and potential modification — of suppliers and seat products included in this list.

This document contains supplier competitive sensitive information. In order to maintain the integrity of the data, Seat Procurement Management requests that security precautions be taken when sharing this information with Customers and/or internal Boeing personnel. This document is intended only for Boeing employees and non-Boeing persons with authorized access. Use and distribution of this document and its contents is subject to PRO-2227, “Information Protection,” and PRO-3439, “Release of Information Outside The Boeing Company,” as well as other applicable company, contractual, and government restrictions.

  BOEING PROPRIETARY  


Attachment B: Adjustments

Boeing will adjust as described in this Attachment B the Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data submitted, the Target Maintenance Costs reported and Actual Maintenance Cost Data reported.

 

1. Currency Exchange Rate.

Boeing will convert maintenance cost data submitted in the Customer’s currency to U.S. Dollars by multiplying such reported costs by the applicable exchange rate published in the U.S. edition of the Wall Street Journal on the day (not including weekends or U.S. national holidays) nearest to the midpoint of the applicable Reporting Period.

 

2. Escalation Indices.

 

  2.1 Material Price Inflation. [**].

 

  2.2 Labor Price Inflation. The measure of labor price inflation will be the “Employment Cost Index for workers in aircraft manufacturing - Wages and Salaries” (ECI code 3721) obtained from the publication published quarterly by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or any comparable successor publication published by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics or any comparable successor agency (Labor Index). As the Labor Index values are only released on a quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March will be used for the months of January and February; the value for the month of June will be used for the months of April and May; the value for the month of September will be used for the months of July and August; and the value for the month of December will be used for the months of October and November.

 

3. Benchmark Method for Determining Target Maintenance Costs.

The Target Maintenance Costs will be determined for the Covered Aircraft by adjusting Customer’s Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data as follows:

[**] Represents material which has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

    SA-7 Page 12
  BOEING PROPRIETARY  


Attachment B: Adjustments (continued)

3.1 The Direct Material Costs reported in the Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data will be revised to values expressed in base year 2016 (Base Year) by multiplying such costs by the ratio of the average of the values for the Material Index published during the twelve months of the Base Year to the average of the values for the Material Index published for the months in which such Direct Material Costs were incurred.

3.2 The Direct Labor Costs reported in the Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data will be revised to values expressed in the Base Year by multiplying such costs by the ratio of the average of the values for the Labor Index published during the twelve (12) months of the Base Year to the average of the values for the Labor Index published [**].

3.3 Furthermore, Boeing will use the operational assumptions provided by Customer to recalibrate the Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data to determine the Target Maintenance Cost. In determining the Target Maintenance Cost, Boeing may adjust the Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data for various operational assumptions reported to Boeing, including but not limited to:

 

  (i) flight time;

 

  (ii) annual utilization;

 

  (iii) labor assumptions; and

 

  (iv) aircraft age.

3.4 Boeing will then increase the Benchmark Fleet Value by the Relative Difference to determine the Equivalent Maintenance Cost for the Covered Aircraft.

  BOEING PROPRIETARY  


Attachment B: Adjustments (continued)

 

4. Reporting Period Adjustments.

4.1 The reported Direct Material Cost for a Reporting Period and the reported Subcontracted Maintenance Material Cost for a Reporting Period will be revised to values expressed in the Base Year by multiplying such costs by the ratio of the average of the values of the Material Index published for the twelve months of the Base Year to the average of the values for the Material Index published during twelve months of the applicable Reporting Period.

4.2 The reported Direct Labor Cost for a Reporting Period and the reported Subcontracted Maintenance Labor Cost for a Reporting Period will be revised (i) by multiplying the reported Direct Labor Cost by the ratio of the Labor Rate specified in the operational assumptions to the Customer’s then-current Labor Rate and (ii) by multiplying the reported Subcontracted Maintenance Labor Cost by the ratio of the Subcontracted Maintenance Labor Rate specified in the operational assumptions to the Subcontracted Maintenance Labor Rate as reported.

 

  4.3 Recalculation of Target Maintenance Cost.

4.3.1 Covered Aircraft. The Target Maintenance Cost is based on the number of Covered Aircraft. If the number of Covered Aircraft changes during any Reporting Period, the Target Maintenance Cost will be recalculated for that Reporting Period to address any change to the average fleet age.

4.3.2 Delivery Schedule. The Target Maintenance Cost is based on the delivery schedule of Covered Aircraft as described in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement. If the delivery schedule for the Covered Aircraft changes during any Reporting Period, the Target Maintenance Cost will be recalculated for that Reporting Period and subsequent Reporting Periods to address any resulting changes to the average fleet age.

4.3.3 Furthermore, if Customer updates any operational assumptions, Boeing may adjust the Target Maintenance Cost as appropriate. For example, Boeing may adjust for assumptions such as:

 

  (i) flight time;

 

  (ii) annual utilization;

 

  (iii) labor assumptions; and

 

  (iv) aircraft age.

4.3.4 Boeing will provide Customer any recalculated Target Maintenance Costs for the applicable Reporting Period.
