your account, after deduction of shares to cover appropriate taxes and other charges as described in paragraph 12.2. 

  

	5.	Earnings Credit on Your RSUs.  

 5.1 While RSUs are in your account, they will earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs. Specifically, as of each dividend payment date for Boeing stock, your RSU account will be credited
with additional RSUs (“Earnings Credit RSUs”) equal in number to the number of shares of Boeing stock that could be bought with the cash dividends that would be paid on the RSUs in your account if each RSU were a share of Boeing stock. The
number of RSUs that results from the Earnings Credit calculation will be to two decimal places.

Boeing stock that could be bought with the cash dividends will be calculated based on the “Fair Market Value” of Boeing stock on the applicable dividend payment date. “Fair Market Value” here means the average of the high and the

disability, or death, your RSU payout, including any Earnings Credit RSUs, will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the three-year performance period (beginning with the first
full calendar month after the date of grant). Payment for this award will be made as soon as administratively possible, but not later than 60 days after your termination of employment The term “retirement” means retirement under the

retirement, layoff or disability will be delayed until six months after the date of vesting based on Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

(beginning with the first full calendar month after the date of grant). 

  

	11.	Forfeiture of Non-Vested RSUs. If your employment with the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company terminates before the expiration of the vesting date of
the award for any reason other than retirement (as defined in paragraph 7), involuntary layoff, disability (as defined in paragraph 7), or death, your nonvested RSUs will be forfeited and canceled. Earnings Credit RSUs will be forfeited and canceled
along with the RSUs with which they are associated.

 The Board shall, in all appropriate circumstances, require reimbursement of any annual incentive payment or
long-term incentive payment to an executive officer where: (1) the payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of Company financial statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission; (2) the Board determines the executive engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or substantially caused the need for the substantial restatement; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to the
executive based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover from the individual executive the amount by which the individual executive’s incentive payments for the
relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results. For purposes of this policy, the term “executive officer” means any officer who has been designated an executive officer by the
Board.
