 ESCALATION ADJUSTMENT 

AIRFRAME AND OPTIONAL FEATURES 

relating to 
 BOEING
MODEL 737 MAX 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: 

P a = (P) (L + M) - P 
 Where: 

P a = Airframe Price Adjustment. (For Models 737, 747-8, 777-200LR, 777-F, and 777-300ER the Airframe Price includes the Engine Price at its basic thrust level.) 

P = Airframe Price plus the price of the Optional Features (as set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement). 

L=.65 x ( ECI 

         ECI b ) 

Where: 
 ECI b is the base year airframe escalation index (as
set forth in Table 1 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 Manufacturing — Total Compensation (BLS Series ID CIU20130000000001), calculated by establishing a three (3) month arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for
the 11 th , 12 th , and 13 th months 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 the first quarter will be used for the
months of January, February, and March; the value released for the second quarter will be used for the months of April, May, and June; the value released for the third quarter will be used for the months of July, August, and September; the value
released for the fourth quarter will be used for the months of October, November, and December. 
 M = .35 x ( CPI 

         CPI b ) 
  

  

					
	
COP-PA-03774-EXHAE1
	 		 	Page 2
			
		 	BOEING PROPRIETARY	 	

 Where: 
 CPI b
is the base year airframe escalation index (as set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement); and 
 CPI is a value determined using the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index — All Urban Consumers (BLS Series ID CUUR0000SA0), 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 11 th , 12 th , and 13 th months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft. 
 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 ECI and CPI. 

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)	 .65 is the numeric ratio attributed to labor in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula. 

 

	 	(iii)	 .35 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. 

 

	 	(v)	 The final value of P a will be rounded to the nearest dollar. 

 

	 	(vi)	 The Airframe Price Adjustment will not be made if it will result in a decrease in the Aircraft Basic Price.

		 	BOEING PROPRIETARY	 	

 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 CPI 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 CPI 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 CPI 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. 

  

  

					
	
COP-PA-03774-EXHAE1
	 		 	Page 4
			
		 	BOEING PROPRIETARY	 	

	 	(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 four (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.

The Company expects to finance the Redemption with, among other sources, (i) the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Securities under this Agreement, (ii) the entry into, and

In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and members and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document, the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or in any materials, presentations or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company or the Guarantor in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of, or pursuant to a judgment or other disposition in, any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or self-regulatory agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and the Guarantor; and

(iii)against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or self-regulatory agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clauses (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document, the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchasers as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(b)Indemnification by the Initial Purchasers.  Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, their respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 6, as incurred, but only with respect to any 

20

 

losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein.  The Company and the Guarantor hereby acknowledge and agree that the information furnished to the Company and the Guarantor by the Initial Purchasers expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), consists exclusively of the following information appearing under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum: the information appearing in the third paragraph, the fourth and fifth sentences of the seventh paragraph and the first and sixth sentences of the ninth paragraph, each under such caption.

(c)Actions Against Parties; Notification.  Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure.  The indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 that the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice of outside counsel that there are legal defenses available to it that may be different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Initial Purchasers and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 6(a) above; and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, their respective directors, each of their respective officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

(d)Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse.  If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of 

21

 

counsel as contemplated by this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 7.  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, in each case as determined pursuant to this Agreement, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum.

The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Guarantor and the several Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7.  The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total initial purchaser discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering and sale to Eligible Purchasers of the Securities initially purchased by it exceed the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

22

 

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each affiliate, officer, director, employee, partner and member of each Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company and of the Guarantor, each officer of the Company and of the Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantor.  The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A hereto and not joint.

SECTION 8.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery

.  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the Company or of the Guarantor (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the Company or the Guarantor) and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or counsel to the Initial Purchasers, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, partners, members or agents or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantor, any officer or director of the Company or of the Guarantor or any person controlling the Company, the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

 

SECTION 9.  Termination of Agreement.

(a)Termination; General.  The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, (i) if there has been, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement or since the date of the most recent financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in business, properties, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including as a result of terrorist activities), in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) (A) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, (B) if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or limited by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority or (C) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b)Liabilities.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and except that 

23

 

Sections 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20 and 21 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10.  Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers.

If one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or any other purchaser, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24‐hour period, then:

(i)if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities, each of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount of such Defaulted Securities in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers; or

(ii)if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 10.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective only upon receipt and shall be mailed, delivered by hand or overnight courier, or transmitted by fax (with the receipt of any such fax to be confirmed by telephone).

(b)In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

SECTION 20.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Company, the Guarantor and each of the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

28

 

SECTION 22.  Counterparts.

(1) Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.  Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next eight succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+11, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement.  Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next eight succeeding business days should consult their own advisors.

The notes are subject to restrictions on resale and transfer as described under “Notice to Investors” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
