	3.	Eligibility and Participation. Every member of the Company’s Board of Directors entitled to compensation as a director shall participate in the Plan and shall be
eligible to elect cash Deferrals under the Plan. 

  

	4	Deferrals. Every Participant shall participate as to the amount of compensation required to be paid in Boeing stock units. 

  

	 	4.1	Election to Defer. A Participant also may elect to defer all or a specified percentage of his or her retainers that may be payable in cash. Such election shall be made by
executing and delivering to the Company Deferral Election which states the percentage of the retainers to be deferred and the Deferral Account (dollar denominated or stock units) to which such amounts are to be credited. An election or change in
election must be made by December 1 to be effective for retainers to be paid in the following calendar year; provided, that a Participant who is appointed or elected to the Board of Directors for the first time may file an election with the
Company within 30 days of such appointment or election with respect to retainers for services to be performed subsequent to the election. Any such election shall supersede any election previously made. 

  

	 	4.2	Election Duration. An election to participate will remain in effect until participation in the Plan terminates, or until the election is changed by a the new Deferral
Election filed by the Participant with the Company in accordance with Section 4.1 above, increasing or decreasing the percentage of retainers to be deferred or changing the Deferral Account for future elective Deferrals. If a Participant
terminates elective participation in the Plan, all amounts accumulated in the Participant’s Account(s) prior to termination will continue to be held subject to the Plan. 

  

 PAGE 2 

	 	4.3	Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding the election procedures described above, a Participant will be permitted to cancel an existing Deferral Election of cash retainers
with regard to a Plan Year during that Plan Year, where the Participant incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency, as determined by the Committee. To the extent that a Participant has elected and received a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency
under Section 6.5, the Participant will be deemed to have elected to cancel his or her cash retainer Deferral Election for the remainder of the applicable Plan Year. 

  

	5	Accounts. All payments required to be made to a Participant in stock units shall be credited to a “Stock Unit Account” for the Participant. All retainers and fees a
Participant elects be deferred under the Plan shall be credited to the Participant either in a dollar denominated, interest bearing account (an “Interest Credit Account”) or in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account, at the election of
the Participant. Such election once made, will be irrevocable as to payments made in the following calendar year. In the absence of an election, all retainers and fees elected to be deferred shall be credited to an Interest Credit account.

  

	 	5.1	Company Matching Contributions. To the extent a Participant has elected to defer all or a portion of the Participant’s retainers into a Stock Unit Account, the Company
shall make a Matching Contribution of an additional 25% of the amount so deferred. Each such Matching Contribution shall be deferred together with the Participant Deferral to which it relates, and shall be subject to all of the Participant elections
(including default elections) with respect to such Deferral. Effective with respect to retainers deferred on or after January 1, 2005, the Company will no longer make any Matching Contributions deferred into a Stock Unit account.

  

	 	5.2	Stock Unit Accounts. Deferrals of retainers and fees, including any Matching Contributions with respect thereto, shall be credited at the time the retainers or fees otherwise
are payable. At the time such amounts are credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account, the Account shall be credited with the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be purchased with the amount credited, based on the
Fair Market Value of such stock on the day as of which the account is so credited (or on the next business day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open, if the Exchange is closed on the day as of which the account is credited), excluding
commissions, taxes, and other charges; and such number shall be recorded as stock units in the Participant’s account, for bookkeeping purposes only. For purposes of the Plan, “Fair Market Value” means the mean of the high and low per
share trading prices for the common stock of the Company for that day as reported for the “New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions” For a single trading day. The number of stock units in an Account shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, and other like adjustments in the Company’s common stock. 

  

 PAGE 3 

	 	5.3	Earnings on Accounts. Each Participant’s account(s) shall be credited with earnings thereon as follows: 

 Interest Credit Account. A Participant’s Interest Credit Account shall be credited monthly with interest on all amounts in that account during
the preceding month. Interest will be computed during each calendar year at the mean between the high and the low during the first eleven months of the preceding year of yields on Aa-rated Industrial Bonds as reported by Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc., rounded to the nearest 1/4th of one percent. The Company will notify Participants annually of the established interest rate and the status of their respective Interest Credit Accounts. 
 Stock Unit Account. As of each of the Company’s dividend payment dates, each Participant’s Stock Unit Account shall be credited with the
number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be purchased, as set forth in paragraph 5.2, by an amount equal to the cash dividends that would be payable on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equals
the number of stock units in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account. The Company will notify Participants annually of the number of stock units, and the dividend equivalents, credited to their respective Stock Unit Accounts. 
  

	6	Form and Timing of Distribution. 

  

	 	6.1	General Rule  

 A Participant may elect the form and
timing of distribution with regard to his or her entire Account as described below. This distribution election must be made at the same time the Participant makes his or her Deferral Election. 
 Distribution elections made with regard to a Participant’s entire Account may be changed solely to the extent permitted under subsection 6.2 below.

  

	 	(A)	Lump Sum Distribution 

 The lump sum distribution
option is a single lump sum payable in January of any Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. The amount of such distribution will be based on the value of the Participant’s Account determined as of the date of
payment. 
 Payment of the lump sum will be made the later of: (i) January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service, or
(ii) January of the first Plan Year following the Participant’s attainment of a specified age (subject to Section 6.3 below), as elected by the Participant under this Section 6. 
  

	 	(B)	Installment Payment 

 The installment payment
option is a series of annual installment payments for a period between 2 and 15 years. The amount payable to the Participant each year shall be computed by multiplying the balance in the Account (or the applicable portion of the Account) by a
fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of years remaining in the distribution period on the first day of January of such year. 
  

 PAGE 4 

 Prior to January 1, 2006, a Participant could elect that annual installments be determined under
the “Approximately Equal” method, under which the amount payable to the Participant each year shall be computed by the Company so that the aggregate amount of cash or stock in a Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be
distributed in approximately equal installments in each year for which payments are to be made. The Approximately Equal method is only available for payment elections on file as of December 31, 2005. 
 Annual installment payments will begin the later of: (i) January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service, or (ii) January of
the first Plan Year following the Participant’s attainment of a specified age (subject to Section 6.3 below), as elected by the Participant under this Section 6. Payments will continue until the full balance in the Participant’s
Account has been paid. 
 In the event that no distribution option is elected, the Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive a
single lump sum payable in January of the first Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
  

	 	6.2	Changes to Distribution Election  

 Effective January 1, 2008, a Participant may change a distribution election with regard to his
or her entire Account only once after the initial distribution election is made (subject to Section 6.3 below), in accordance with the conditions stated below. To the extent such change would defer commencement of any portion of the
Participant’s Account beyond both age 70 1/2 and Separation from Service, the change will not be effective
with respect to such portion. 
  

	 	(i)	A new distribution election must be submitted to the Committee at least 12 months before the existing scheduled distribution date, and during the annual election period established
by the Committee. 

  

	 	(ii)	The revised distribution election must not take effect for at least 12 months after it is made. 

  

	 	(iii)	The new distribution election must provide for an additional deferral period of at least 5 years beyond the original distribution date. 

 In no event can installment payments be revoked once they have begun. 
 Prior to January 1, 2008, a Participant may change a distribution election with regard to his or her entire Account, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, without the restrictions stated
above. Any changes made under this paragraph will be invalid to the extent they affect distributions scheduled for the Plan Year in which the change is made. 
  

 PAGE 5 

	 	 6.3
	 Distributions At Age 70 1/2 

 Payment of benefits under this Plan will begin not later than the first January following the
calendar year in which the Participant both attains (or would have attained) age 70 1/2 and is Separated from
Service. Payment of benefits for Participants actively in service on the Board beyond age 70 1/2 will begin no
later than the first January following the calendar year in which the Participant Separates from Service. In the event that no distribution option is elected under Section 6.1 above, the Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive a
single lump sum distribution. 
  

	 	6.4	Specified Employees  

 Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary under this Section 6, a Specified Employee will not receive any distribution under this Plan during the six-month period immediately following his or her Separation from Service. 
 The Account of a Specified Employee will be distributed in the form elected under Section 6.1 above. This distribution will commence as of the later
of: 
  

	 	(i)	the time elected under Section 6.1, 

  

	 	(ii)	the first day of the month following completion of the six-month waiting period (for Specified Employees who Separate from Service between July 1 and December 31), and

  

	 	(iii)	January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service (for Specified Employees who Separate from Service between January 1 and June 30).

 If a Participant has elected installments under Section 6.1 above, subsequent installment payments will be made in
January of each successive year until the Account is exhausted. 
 In the event of a Specified Employee’s death during the six-month
waiting period, the waiting period will cease to apply. The Specified Employee’s benefits will be distributed in accordance with Section 7 (Death Benefits) below. 
  

	 	6.5	Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Emergency 

 A
Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Accounts immediately, regardless of whether benefit payments have commenced, to the extent that the Participant or Beneficiary incurs an Unforeseeable
Emergency. 
  

 PAGE 6 

 The amount of the distribution will be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the
emergency need, including any taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	7.	Death Benefits 

 If a Participant dies before his or
her entire Account has been distributed, the remaining Account balance will be distributed to his or her Beneficiary in accordance with the Deferral Elections filed with the Committee. Distributions to the Beneficiary will be made at the same time
and in the same form as the payment that otherwise would have been made to the Participant. 
 To the extent no distribution election has been
filed, the remaining Account balance will be paid to the Beneficiary in a single sum in January of the calendar year following the Participant’s death. 
 Prior to October 1, 2006, a Participant could elect one or more fixed payments be made from the Plan to the Participant’s personal representative or designated beneficiary, following the Participant’s
death. Such payments, if approved by the Committee, shall be made within 15 months after the Participant’s death. Any amounts thereafter remaining in the Participant’s Account will be distributed in accordance with the Participants
elections. Any such elections on file as of October 1, 2006 will continue in effect unless a subsequent Beneficiary designation has been filed. 
  

	8.	Payment in Stock or Cash. Distributions from a Participant’s Interest Credit Account shall be in cash. Distributions from a Participant’s Stock Unit Account shall
be made in whole shares of the Company’s common stock equal in number to the whole number of then distributable stock units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account. No fractional shares shall be distributed and any then
distributable account balance remaining after any stock distribution shall be paid in cash. 

  

	9.	Participant’s Rights. Amounts accumulated and deferred under the Plan remain the property of the Company, and no Participant or other person shall acquire any property
interest in the account(s) or any other assets of the Company on account of participation in the Plan, a Participant’s rights being limited to receiving from the Company the payments provided for in the Plan. The Plan is unfunded, and to the
extent that any Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

 The right of a Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or beneficiary to receive payments from the Plan shall not be subject to
anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, nor shall such right be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or beneficiaries.

  

	10.	Powers of Compensation Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and discretionary authority to construe and interpret
the Plan. No member of the Committee shall act on any matter concerning such member’s participation in the Plan or such member’s account(s) under the Plan. Decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Participants, their
legal representatives and beneficiaries. 

  

 PAGE 7 

	11.	Termination or Amendment of the Plan. The Plan may be terminated, modified, or amended from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. If the Plan is terminated,
all amounts accumulated prior to termination will continue to remain subject to the provisions of the Plan as if the Plan had not been terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Boeing Company may, in its discretion, terminate the entire Plan
and pay each Participant a single lump-sum distribution of his or her entire accrued benefit to the extent permitted under conditions set forth in Code section 409A and any IRS or Treasury guidance thereunder (provided that distributions from a
Participant’s Stock Unit Account will still be paid in shares of Company stock). 

  

	12.	Delays in Payment. Payment of benefits under this Plan may be delayed to the extent permitted by Code section 409A, as determined by the Committee. 

 

	13.	Involuntary Inclusion in Income. If a determination is made that the Account of any Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) is subject to current income taxation under Code
section 409A, then the taxable portion of such Account will be immediately distributed to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary), notwithstanding the general timing rules described in Section 6 above. 

  

	14.	Compliance with Code Section 409A. It is intended that amounts deferred under this Plan will not be taxable under section 409A of the Code with respect to any
individual. All provisions of this Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with this intent. 

  

	15.	Construction. The validity of the Plan or any of its provisions will be determined under and will be construed according to federal law and, to the extent permissible,
according to the internal laws of the state of Illinois. If any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, such determination will not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan will be construed and enforced as
if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included.

 ARTICLE I 
 Introduction 
 The Supplemental Benefit Plan for Employees of The Boeing Company (Plan) was originally
established effective January 1, 1978 by The Boeing Company. The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). 
 The purpose of the Plan is to supplement the benefits of certain employees under The Boeing Company Voluntary Investment Plan, to the extent that these qualified plan
benefits are limited by sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code. 
 For periods prior to January 1, 1999, the Plan also supplemented participants’
benefits under The Boeing Company Employee Retirement Plan and The Boeing Company Employee Financial Security Plan, to the extent these benefits were limited by sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code. For the period January 1, 1987 through
May 31, 1987, the Plan also supplemented benefits reduced by the limitation on Elective Deferrals imposed by section 402(g)(1) of the Code. 
 It is
intended that the Plan shall be an excess benefit plan as defined in section 3(36) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to the extent benefits are paid in excess of the limits imposed by section 415 of the Code. To the
extent any part of the Plan is not an excess benefit plan, it is intended that the Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees under
sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

means an Employee who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code section 409A. Specified Employee status is determined on the last day of the prior Plan Year, to take effect as of April 1 of the Plan Year for a 12-month
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Specified Employees shall be determined by including the employees whom the Company reasonably determines to be the 75 top-paid officers of the Company rather than the 50 top-paid officers as provided under
Code section 416(i)(1)(A), to the extent permitted under Code section 409A. 
  

	2.26	Unforeseeable Emergency 

 “Unforeseeable
Emergency” means “unforeseeable emergency” within the meaning of Code section 409A, as determined by the Committee.

 ARTICLE III 
 Eligibility and Participation 
  

	3.1	Eligibility 

 An Employee is eligible to participate
in the Plan for a Plan Year if he or she satisfies each of the conditions described in (A)-(C) below: 
  

	 	(A)	The Employee is eligible to participate in the VIP during the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(B)	The Employee is, during the Plan Year, a salaried Employee of the Company who is not represented by a collective bargaining agent (or represented by a collective bargaining agent
where the terms of the collective bargaining agreement covering such Employee specifically provide for coverage under the Plan). 

  

	 	 (C)
	 As of October 1st of
the prior Plan Year, the Employee’s Base Salary for the prior Plan Year equaled or exceeded the amount calculated as follows (rounded down to the nearest $1,000 increment): 

 The dollar limit imposed by section 415(c) of the Code for the prior Plan Year, divided by the percentage equal to the sum of (i), (ii) and (iii), as
applicable. 
  

	 	 (i)
	 The maximum percentage that an Employee can elect to contribute on a pre-tax or after-tax basis under the VIP, for the
prior Plan Year (or such other rate approved by the Committee by October 1st to take effect under the VIP as of the following January).

  

	 	 (ii)
	 The maximum percentage that an Employee can receive as an Employer Matching Contribution under the VIP, for the prior
Plan Year (or such other rate approved by the Committee by October 1st to take effect under the VIP as of the following January).

  

	 	(iii)	Solely with regard to an Employee who actively participates in the Boeing Satellite Systems Retirement Plan (“BSS Plan”), the percentage of Participant Contributions made
under Exhibit A of the BSS Plan, for the prior Plan Year. 

 Example:
Assume that the Code section 415(c) limit is $45,000 for the current Plan Year, the maximum VIP employee contribution is 20% of compensation, and the maximum VIP employer matching contribution is 6% (75% of up to 8% of compensation), for the current
Plan Year. To be eligible to participate in this Plan during the following Plan Year, the Employee’s Base Salary as of October 1st must be
at least $173,000 ($45,000/(20% + 6%) = $45,000/.26). If the Employee actively participates in the BSS Plan, which requires a 3% employee contribution, his or her Base Salary as of October 1st
 must be at least $155,000 ($45,000/(20% + 6% + 3%) = $45,000/.29). 
  

 6 

 Effective March 22, 2003, participants in the Boeing Satellite Systems Voluntary Savings Plan (the
“BSS Voluntary Savings Plan”) became eligible to participate in the VIP. Consequently, a former participant in the BSS Voluntary Savings Plan who met the eligibility requirements of this Plan as of March 22, 2003 became eligible for
benefits under this Plan based upon his or her participation in the VIP. 
  

	3.2	Participation 

 An Eligible Employee will become a
Participant when he or she elects to defer Compensation by filing a timely Deferral Election in accordance with Article IV below. 
  

 7 

 ARTICLE IV 
 Plan Benefits 
 Each Participant shall be entitled to benefits under this Plan as follows: 
  

	4.1	Deferral Elections 

 An Eligible Employee may elect
to defer a percentage of his or her Compensation otherwise payable by the Company for a Plan Year by executing and delivering a Deferral Election, as described further below. This percentage is limited to the maximum percentage described in
Section 3.1(C)(i), as applicable to the Eligible Employee. A new Deferral Election must be executed with respect to each Plan Year. 
 Deferrals will be made from the Participant’s Compensation only to the extent that either: (i) Compensation for the applicable Plan Year exceeds the limitation under Code section 401(a)(17), as indexed, or (ii) the
Participant’s annual additions under the VIP for the applicable Plan Year reach the dollar limitation of Code section 415(c), as indexed. 
 Deferred Compensation will be credited to the Participant’s Account on the date the Compensation would otherwise be payable, or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible. 
  

	 	(A)	Deferral Election  

 A Participant’s Deferral
Election must be executed and delivered to the Company in accordance with rules established by the Committee. 
  

	 	(B)	Timing of Elections 

 In general, the Deferral
Election must be filed during the election period established by the Committee. This election will become irrevocable as of the end of the election period, but in no event later than December 31 of the Plan Year in which the election is made.
Each election will apply solely to the Compensation payable in the succeeding Plan Year. Participants must execute a new Deferral Election to defer Compensation payable in each succeeding Plan Year. 
 Deferral Elections generally may not be modified during the Plan Year. Likewise, an Employee eligible for this Plan remains subject to restrictions on
mid-year contribution election changes under the VIP, in accordance with the terms of the VIP. 
  

 8 

 See Section 4.4 for a limited exception to the general rule on the irrevocability of Deferral
Elections, in the event of Unforeseeable Emergency. 
  

	 	(C)	No Mid-Year Elections 

 An Employee who becomes an
Eligible Employee during the Plan Year (as a new hire, rehire or due to raise or promotion) will not be eligible to participate during such Plan Year. 
  

	4.2	Participant Accounts 

 The Committee will establish
and maintain an Account for each Participant. The Account will be credited with Deferrals, as well as Matching Credits and Earnings Credits as described below. The Account will be reduced as payments are made. 
  

	 	(A)	Matching Credits  

 A Participant who defers
Compensation for a Plan Year will be credited with a Matching Credit from the Company. This Matching Credit will equal a percentage of the Participant’s Deferrals for the Plan Year, subject to a limit on the Participant’s Compensation from
which Deferrals are made under this Plan for the Plan Year. The relevant net percentage will be limited to the maximum rate described in Section 3.1(C)(ii), as applicable to each Participant. 
 Matching Credits will be credited to the Participant’s Account on the date that the underlying Deferral is credited to the Participant’s
Account. 
  

	 	(B)	Earnings Credit Methods 

 For periods prior to
January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Account will be credited with earnings under the Interest Fund Method described in (i) below. 
 For periods on or after January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Account will be credited, at the Participant’s election, with earnings under either: (i) the Interest Fund Method, or (ii) the Other Investment Funds method,
each as described below. In the absence of an election the Interest Fund method will be used. 
  

	 	(i)	Interest Fund Method  

 Under the Interest Fund
Method for periods prior to January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Account will be adjusted each month in accordance with changes in the unit value of the Account to reflect interest, as of the first business day of that month. Interest will be
calculated based on the value of the Account as of the last day of the preceding month. 
  

 9 

 For periods on or after January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Account will be adjusted daily in
accordance with changes in the unit value of the Account to reflect interest, based on the Participant’s Account balance. 
 Interest will be calculated for each Plan Year as the mean between the high and low (during the
first eleven months of the preceding Plan Year) of yields on AA-rated industrial bonds as reported by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., rounded to the nearest  1/4th of one percent. The Company will notify Participants annually of the established
interest rate. 
  

	 	(ii)	Other Investment Funds Method  

 For periods on or
after January 1, 2009, in addition to the Interest Fund method of allocating earnings on Deferrals and Matching Credits, a Participant may choose to diversify his or her Account by electing that it be credited (or charged) with the expenses,
income, gains and losses on investment funds similar to those offered under The Boeing Company Voluntary Investment Plan (excluding the Boeing Stock Fund and Stable Value Fund offered thereunder) as designated by the Committee from time to time,
pursuant to an election by the Participant to have the Participant’s Account credited as though the Participant had elected to invest in such funds in such increments as the Participant will direct in accordance with rules to be established by
the Committee or its delegates; provided that the Committee may disregard such elections in its discretion. 
  

	 	(C)	Investment Election Changes and Restrictions  

 For
periods on or after January 1, 2009, a Participant may change how future Deferrals and Matching Credits are invested anytime during the Plan Year. The Participant may also transfer any portion of his or her Account from one fund to another on a
daily basis, provided that a Participant may not transfer funds from one investment fund to another and back on the same day. 
  

	 	(D)	Heritage BSS Benefit  

 For Heritage BSS
Participants, the benefits under this Plan shall also include any account as of April 3, 2003 under the BSS Excess Plan, as adjusted after April 3, 2003 for earnings, losses and expenses. As of April 4, 2003, all accounts of Heritage
BSS Participants under the BSS Excess Plan were transferred to this Plan. 
  

 10 

 For purposes of this subsection (D), “Heritage BSS Participant” means any Participant in this
Plan having a prior benefit under the BSS Excess Plan based on his or her participation in the BSS Voluntary Savings Plan. 
  

	4.3	Vesting 

 A Participant’s interest in his or
her Accounts generally will be 100% vested at all times. 
 A Participant’s Account may be forfeited or reduced in the event of one of
the following events: 
  

	 	(i)	The Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary to distribute amounts from his or her Account (a “missing participant”). 

  

	 	(ii)	The Committee recaptures amounts improperly credited to a Participant’s Account. 

 See Section 8.3 regarding the unfunded nature of this Plan. 
  

	4.4	Cancellation of Deferral Election Due to Unforeseeable Emergency 

 Notwithstanding the election procedures described in Section 4.1, a Participant will be permitted to cancel an existing Deferral Election with regard to a Plan Year during that Plan Year, where the Participant
incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency, as determined by the Committee. 
 To the extent that a Participant has elected and received a distribution
due to an Unforeseeable Emergency under Section 5.1(F), the Participant will be deemed to have elected to cancel his or her Deferral Election for the remainder of the applicable Plan Year. 
  

 11 

 ARTICLE V 
 Distributions 
  

	5.1	Form and Timing of Distribution 

  

	 	(A)	General Rule  

 A Participant may elect the form and
timing of distribution with regard to his or her entire Account (including future Deferrals, Matching Credits and Earnings Credits) as described below, subject to the cashout rule in subsection (B) below. This distribution election must be made
at the same time the Participant makes his or her Deferral Election. 
 Distribution elections made with regard to a Participant’s entire
Account may be changed solely to the extent permitted under subsection (C) below. 
  

	 	(i)	Lump Sum Distribution 

 The lump sum distribution
option is a single lump sum payable in January of any Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. The amount of such distribution will be based on the value of the Participant’s Account determined as of the date of
payment. 
 Payment of the lump sum will be made the later of: (i) January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service, or
(ii) January of the first Plan Year following the Participant’s attainment of a specified age (subject to (D) below), as elected by the Participant under this Section 5.1. 
  

	 	(ii)	Installment Payment 

 The installment payment
option is a series of annual installment payments for a period between 2 and 15 years. The amount payable to the Participant each year generally shall be computed by multiplying the balance in the Account (or the applicable portion of the Account)
by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of years remaining in the distribution period on the first day of January of such year. See Section 5.1(B) below for application of the cashout rule to
installment payments. 
 Annual installment payments will begin the later of: (i) January of the first Plan Year following Separation
from Service, or (ii) January of the first Plan Year following the Participant’s attainment of a specified age (subject to (D) below), as elected by the Participant under this Section 5.1. Payments will continue until the full
balance in the Participant’s Account has been paid. 
  

 12 

 The Plan will respect previous distribution elections made by certain Participants who are former
participants in the Boeing Satellite Systems Salaried Employees’ Excess Benefit Plan (“BSS Excess Plan”). For these Participants, any distribution election made prior to April 4, 2003 under section 3(b)(5) of the BSS Excess Plan
will apply, unless the Participant elects otherwise under this Article V. 
 In the event that no distribution option is elected, the
Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive a single lump sum payable in January of the first Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
  

	 	(B)	Cashouts  

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
following rules shall apply, subject to the six-month delay in payment for Specified Employees under (E): 
  

	 	(i)	If the balance in the Participant’s Account is $10,000 or less in January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service, the entire balance will be paid in the form
of a single lump sum at that time. 

  

	 	(ii)	If a Participant has elected to receive installments and his or her remaining Account balance is $10,000 or less upon any scheduled payment date, the entire remaining balance will
be paid in the form of a single lump sum at that time. This paragraph (ii) will not apply to any Participant whose installment payments commenced prior to January 1, 2008. 

  

	 	(C)	Changes to Distribution Election  

 Effective January 1, 2008, a Participant may change a distribution election with regard to his
or her entire Account only once after the initial distribution election is made, in accordance with the conditions stated below. To the extent such change would defer commencement of any portion of the Participant’s Account beyond both age
70 1/2 and Separation from Service, the change will not be effective with respect to such portion.

  

	 	(i)	A new distribution election must be submitted to the Committee at least 12 months before the existing scheduled distribution date, and during the annual election period established
by the Committee. 

  

	 	(ii)	The revised distribution election must not take effect for at least 12 months after it is made. 

  

 13 

	 	(iii)	The new distribution election must provide for an additional deferral period of at least 5 years beyond the original distribution date. 

 In no event can installment payments be revoked once they have begun. 
 Prior to January 1, 2008, a Participant may change a distribution election with regard to his or her entire Account, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, without the restrictions stated
above. Any changes made under this paragraph will be invalid to the extent they affect distributions scheduled for the Plan Year in which the change is made. 
  

	 	 (D)
	 Distributions At Age 70 1/2 

 Payment of benefits under this Plan will begin not later than the first January following the
calendar year in which the Participant both attains (or would have attained) age 70 1/2 and is Separated from
Service. Payment of benefits for Participants actively employed beyond age 70 1/2 will begin no later than the
first January following the calendar year in which the Participant Separates from Service. In the event that no distribution option is elected under (A) above, the Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive a single lump sum
distribution. 
  

	 	(E)	Specified Employees  

 Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary under this Article V, a Specified Employee will not receive any distribution under this Plan during the six-month period immediately following his or her Separation from Service. 
 The Account of a Specified Employee will be distributed in the form elected under subsection (A) above. This distribution will commence as of the
later of: 
  

	 	(i)	the time elected under subsection (A), 

  

	 	(ii)	the first day of the month following completion of the six-month waiting period (for Specified Employees who Separate from Service between July 1 and December 31), and

  

	 	(iii)	January of the first Plan Year following Separation from Service (for Specified Employees who Separate from Service between January 1 and June 30).

 If a Participant has elected installments under (A) above, subsequent installment payments will be made in January of
each successive year until the Account is exhausted. 
  

 14 

 
In the event of a Specified Employee’s death during the six-month waiting period, the waiting period will cease to apply. The Specified Employee’s
benefits will be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2 (Death Benefits) below. 
  

	 	(F)	Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Emergency 

 A
Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Accounts immediately, regardless of whether benefit payments have commenced, to the extent that the Participant or Beneficiary incurs an Unforeseeable
Emergency. 
 The amount of the distribution will be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, including any
taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	5.2	Death Benefits 

 If a Participant dies before his or
her entire Account has been distributed, the remaining Account balance will be distributed to his or her Beneficiary in accordance with the Deferral Elections filed with the Committee. Distributions to the Beneficiary will be made at the same time
and in the same form as the payment that otherwise would have been made to the Participant. 
 To the extent no distribution election has
been filed, the remaining Account balance will be paid to the Beneficiary in a single sum in January of the calendar year following the Participant’s death. 
  

	5.3	Rehires 

 This Section 5.3 addresses the form
and timing of payment for a Participant who rehires to the Company following a Separation from Service. For purposes of this Section 5.3, a rehire includes a Participant who returns to the Company following a Separation from Service that is
deemed to occur under Code section 409A due to an Authorized Period of Absence or a period of a reduced level of services. 
  

	 	(A)	Participants Rehired After Commencing Benefits 

 This subsection (A) applies to a rehired Participant who has received or begun receiving benefits under the Plan because he or she has experienced a Separation from Service and has attained the specified age (if applicable).

  

 15 

 Old Deferrals. Installment payments that commenced prior to the Participant’s rehire with
respect to Deferrals made before the Participant’s Separation from Service (“Old Deferrals”) will not be suspended by reason of the Participant’s rehire. These Old Deferrals will continue to be paid until exhausted, without
regard to the period of rehire. 
 Interim Deferrals. To the extent a Participant made additional Deferrals while on an Authorized
Period of Absence or during a period of a reduced level of services that constituted a deemed Separation from Service under Code section 409A, such Deferrals will be distributed in January of the first Plan Year following the year in which they are
made, in accordance with the Participant’s earlier distribution election. This is because the Participant has already satisfied the conditions for payment under Section 5.1(A); namely, he or she has attained the specified age and has
experienced a Separation from Service attributable to such Deferrals. 
 New Deferrals. Deferrals attributable to periods after the
date of rehire (“New Deferrals”) will remain subject to the Participant’s earlier distribution election as to the timing and form of payment under Section 5.1(A) (subject to the change rules in Section 5.1(C)), without
regard to any Separation from Service that occurred prior to rehire. As a result, New Deferrals will be distributed in January following the Participant’s Separation from Service after rehire, in the form selected under the original
distribution election. This is because the Participant already has attained the specified age under Section 5.1(A) but has not yet experienced a Separation from Service attributable to the New Deferrals. 
  

	 	(B)	Participants Rehired Before Commencing Benefits 

 This subsection (B) applies to a rehired Participant who has not begun receiving benefits under the Plan because he or she has not attained the specified age under Section 5.1(A). 
 Old and Interim Deferrals. The rehired Participant’s Old Deferrals (and any Deferrals made during an Authorized Period of Absence or a period
of a reduced level of services) will remain subject to the Participant’s earlier distribution election as to the timing and form of payment under Section 5.1(A) (subject to the change rules in Section 5.1(C)). This means that if the
Participant’s original distribution election selected benefits in the form of a lump sum (or installments) payable in January following attainment of a specified age under Section 5.1(A), then the Participant’s Old Deferrals (and any
Deferrals made during an Authorized Period of Absence or a period of a reduced level of services) will be payable as a lump sum (or installments, if so elected) in January following the year in which he or she attains the specified age, even if the
Participant has not had a subsequent Separation from Service after rehire. This result will not change in the event that the Participant attains the specified age after the initial Separation from Service (or while on Authorized Period of Absence or
during a period of a reduced level of services), but is rehired before benefits actually begin. 
  

 16 

 New Deferrals. The Participant’s New Deferrals will remain subject to the Participant’s
earlier distribution election as to the timing and form of payment under Section 5.1(A) (subject to the change rules in Section 5.1(C)), without regard to any Separation from Service that occurred prior to rehire, as described in
Section 5.3(A) above. As a result, New Deferrals will be distributed either (i) in January following the Participant’s Separation from Service after rehire, or (ii) in January following both the Participant’s
Separation from Service after rehire and after attainment of the specified age, in accordance with the original distribution election. This is because the Participant has not yet experienced a Separation from Service attributable to the New
Deferrals. 
  

 17 

 ARTICLE VI 
 Administration 
  

	6.1	Plan Administration 

 The Plan shall be administered
by the Committee. The Committee shall make such rules, interpretations, determinations of fact and computations as it may deem appropriate. Any decision of the Committee with respect to the Plan, including (without limitation) any determination of
eligibility to participate in the Plan and any calculation of plan benefits, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. The Committee shall submit to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors periodic reports covering the operation
of the Plan. 
  

	6.2	Claims Procedure 

 The procedures for making claims
for benefits under the Plan and for having the denial of a benefits claim reviewed shall be the same as those procedures set forth in the VIP. 
  

 18 

 ARTICLE VII 
 Amendment and Termination 
 The Board of Directors of The Boeing Company shall have the authority to amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority to amend the Plan at any time, in its sole discretion. In the event of Plan amendment or termination, a Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall not be less
than the Plan benefits to which the Participant would be entitled if the Participant had terminated employment immediately prior to such amendment or termination of the Plan. 
 In general, upon the termination of the Plan with respect to any Participant, the affected Participants will not be entitled to receive a distribution until the time specified in Article V. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, The Boeing Company may, in its discretion, terminate the entire Plan and pay each Participant a single lump-sum distribution of his or her entire accrued benefit to the extent permitted under conditions set forth in Code section 409A and
any IRS or Treasury guidance thereunder. 
  

 19 

 ARTICLE VIII 
 Miscellaneous 
  

	8.1	No Employment Rights 

 Nothing in the Plan shall be
deemed to give any person any right to remain in the employ of the Company or affect any right of the Company to terminate a person’s employment with or without cause. 
  

	8.2	Anti-Assignment 

 No benefit under the Plan shall be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, execution, attachment, garnishment, or any other legal process. Any attempt to take such action shall be void and shall authorize the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, to forfeit all further right and interest in any benefit under this Plan. In addition, a Participant’s Account may be reduced by the amount of any tax obligation paid by the Company on behalf of a
Participant or surviving spouse, if the Participant or surviving spouse fails to reimburse the Company for such obligation. 
  

	8.3	Unfunded Status of Plan 

 No funds shall be
segregated or earmarked for any current or former participant, Beneficiary or other person under the Plan. However, the Company may establish one or more trusts to assist in meeting its obligations under the Plan, the assets of which shall be
subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. No current or former Participant, Beneficiary or other person, individually or as a member of a group, shall have any right, title or interest in any account, fund, grantor trust, or any
asset that may be acquired by the Company in respect of its obligations under the Plan (other than as a general creditor of the Company with an unsecured claim against its general assets). 
  

	8.4	Delays in Payment 

 Payment of benefits under this
Plan may be delayed to the extent permitted by Code section 409A, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	8.5	Involuntary Inclusion in Income 

 If a determination
is made that the Account of any Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) is subject to current income taxation under Code section 409A, then the taxable portion of such Account will be immediately distributed to the Participant (or his or her
Beneficiary), notwithstanding the general timing rules described in Article V above. 
  

 20 

	8.6	Compliance With Code Section 409A 

 It is
intended that amounts deferred under this Plan will not be taxable under section 409A of the Code with respect to any individual. All provisions of this Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with this intent. 
  

	8.7	Construction 

 The validity of the Plan or any of
its provisions will be determined under and will be construed according to federal law and, to the extent permissible, according to the internal laws of the state of Illinois. If any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason,
such determination will not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included. 
  

	8.8	Legal Action 

 No legal action may be brought in
court on a claim for benefits under the Plan after 180 days following the decision on appeal (or 180 days following the expiration of the time to make an appeal if no appeal is made). 
  

 21 

 APPENDIX A 
 Boeing Satellite Systems 
 Salaried Employees’ Excess Benefit Plan

  

	I.	PURPOSE. 

 In July 1998, Hughes Space and Communications
Company, Hughes Electron Dynamics, Inc. and Spectrolab, Inc. (“Hughes”) adopted a special appendix (the “Hughes Appendix”) to the Hughes Excess Plan. Individuals affected by the Hughes Appendix are referred to in this Special
Appendix as “Hughes Participants”. 
 That Hughes Appendix was adopted to provide certain Hughes Participants whose benefits from
the Hughes Retirement Plan were initially miscalculated an election to receive alternative benefits. These benefits are referred to as the “Substitute Benefit”. 
 The initial miscalculation for these Hughes Participants was the subject of a filing with the Internal Revenue Service under the Voluntary Compliance Resolution (“VCR”) program on August 22, 1997. On
January 28, 1998, the Internal Revenue Service issued a compliance statement concerning the VCR application. Under the compliance statement, Hughes corrected the miscalculation by reducing the benefits payable to the affected Hughes
Participants under the Hughes Retirement Plan from the initially calculated amount. Under the correction approved by the IRS in the VCR application, payments under the Hughes Retirement Plan would continue at the monthly amount originally scheduled
under the initial calculation. When the actuarial equivalent value of a Hughes Participant’s benefits paid under the Hughes Retirement Plan reaches the maximum limit imposed by section 415 of the Code, then the remaining payments to the Hughes
Participant will be made under the Hughes Excess Plan. The benefits which were originally scheduled for payment under the Hughes Retirement Plan under the initial calculation, but which will instead be paid pursuant to the Hughes Excess Plan after
the maximum limit of section 415 has been reached, are referred to in this Appendix as the “Reclassified Payments.” Benefits paid under the Hughes Retirement Plan are not considered Reclassified Payments, even if the payments exceeded the
limits of section 415 of the Code and therefore are not afforded the tax treatment (including the ability to elect a rollover) afforded to qualified plan payments. 
 As a result of the initial miscalculation, some benefit payments from the Hughes Retirement Plan which Hughes Participants rolled over into their individual retirement accounts were withdrawn to avoid or minimize
excise taxes (“Required IRA Withdrawals”). Hughes Participants who made Required IRA Withdrawals were entitled to elect the Substitute Benefit. 
  

 22 

 Furthermore, certain Hughes Participants received payments from the Hughes Retirement Plan in 1998 which
were in excess of the maximum benefit allowed by Code section 415 under the method of calculating the maximum benefit as described in the VCR application (“1998 Excess Payments”). Such Hughes Participants were entitled to elect the
Substitute Benefit. 
 In addition, under their original benefit elections, certain Hughes Participants were scheduled to have received
Reclassified Payments which were not yet paid as of July 31, 1999. Such Hughes Participants were entitled to elect the Substitute Benefit. 
 Under the Hughes Appendix, each affected Hughes Participant was given an election to be paid the Substitute Benefit. In order to elect the Substitute Benefit, a Hughes Participant must have signed and delivered to
Hughes a written release in the form and manner acceptable to Hughes. The Substitute Benefit was provided in consideration for the Hughes Participant’s agreement, made pursuant to the release, to forego legal action against Hughes and the other
persons specified in the release. 
 This Special Appendix is intended to provide the unpaid balance of the Substitute Benefit to Hughes
Participants who are Acquired Hughes Participants. Only Acquired Hughes Participants are affected by this Special Appendix to the Plan. 
 Effective as of April 4, 2003, this Appendix A was transferred in its entirety from the Boeing Satellite Systems Salaried Employees’ Excess Benefit Plan to the Plan. 
  

	II.	ELECTION AND CALCULATION OF SUBSTITUTE BENEFIT. 

  

	 	A.2.1	Election of Substitute Benefit. 

 The following
Hughes Participants were provided an opportunity to elect the Substitute Benefit: (1) Hughes Participants for whom Reclassified Payments were to be made on or after August 1, 1998, (2) Hughes Participants who received 1998 Excess
Payments, and (3) Hughes Participants who made Required IRA Withdrawals. The election of the Substitute Benefit was made in the time and manner prescribed by Hughes. The election must have specified the date on which the Hughes Participant
elected to commence payment of the Substitute Benefit, which must have been a date which was the first through fifteenth anniversary of the Hughes Participant’s “Deferral Start Date.” The Deferral Start Date for a Hughes Participant
is the later of (x) August 1, 1998, or (y) the day as of which the initial Reclassified Payment would have been scheduled for payment to the Hughes Participant, but for the election to receive the Substitute Benefit. The election must
have specified whether the Hughes 

  

 23 

 
Participant elected payment in a single installment, two substantially equal annual installments, or five substantially equal annual installments. The
election must have been accompanied by a properly executed release acceptable to Hughes. If a Hughes Participant did not effectively elect the Substitute Benefit, then the Hughes Participant’s remaining Reclassified Payments (if any) would be
made to the Hughes Participant pursuant to the general provisions in the Hughes Excess Plan applicable to payments attributable to the Hughes Retirement Plan, as contemplated in the VCR application. 
 Any election described above by an Acquired Hughes Participant will continue to apply under this Special Appendix. Any Acquired Hughes Participant who
did not make an effective election will continue to have his or her remaining Reclassified Payments (if any) made pursuant to the general provisions in the Plan (as successor to the Hughes Excess Plan) applicable to payments attributable to the
Retirement Plan (as successor to the Hughes Retirement Plan), as contemplated in the VCR application. 
  

	 	A.2.2 	Calculation of Substitute Benefit. 

 If a Hughes
Participant elected the Substitute Benefit, then in lieu of payment from the generally applicable provisions of the Hughes Excess Plan of the Hughes Participant’s remaining Reclassified Payments (if any), the Substitute Benefit became payable.
The Substitute Benefit was the amount credited to the Hughes Participant’s Hughes Account, calculated as described in Section A.2.4(a) of this Appendix. 
  

	 	A.2.3 	Definitions. 

  

	 	a.	Suspended Payments. 

 Certain Hughes Participants
elected a short-term deferral of Reclassified Payments which, but for such election, would have been paid between January 1, 1998 and July 1, 1998. Under this Appendix, the term “Suspended Payments” refers to the Reclassified
Payments which were subject to the short-term deferral described in the preceding sentence. 
  

	 	b.	Proximate Reclassified Payments. 

 The term
“Proximate Reclassified Payments” refers to those Reclassified Payments (other than Suspended Payments) which, in the absence of an election of the Substitute Benefit, would have been scheduled for payment under the Hughes Excess Plan on
or prior to July 1, 1999. 
  

 24 

	 	c.	Distant Reclassified Payments. 

 The term
“Distant Reclassified Payments” refers to Reclassified Payments which, in the absence of an election of the Substitute Benefit, would have been scheduled for payment under the Hughes Excess Plan after July 1, 1999. Distant
Reclassified Payments may be recalculated to reflect how the Retirement Plan implemented the repeal of section 415(e) of the Code. 
  

	 	d.	Settlement Credit. 

 The term “Settlement
Credit” refers to an amount calculated for each Hughes Participant which is the greater of (i) or (ii) below: 
  

	 	(i)	The amount under this item (i) equals ten percent (10%) of the sum of (aa) the Hughes Participant’s Suspended Payments (if any), plus (bb) the Hughes
Participant’s Proximate Reclassified Payments (if any). 

  

	 	(ii)	The amount under this item (ii) equals (aa) the sum of (x) the Hughes Participant’s Required IRA Withdrawals (if any) and (y) the Hughes Participant’s 1998
Excess Payments (if any), times (bb) a percentage not to exceed fifty-five percent (55%), determined according to the date elected by the Hughes Participant for payment of the Substitute Benefit. For each of the first five full years after
August 1, 1998 that payment is deferred, the percentage will increase by five percent (5%), and for each of the next ten additional full years that payment is deferred, the percentage will increase by three percent (3%). Thus, for a Hughes
Participant who elected payment of the Substitute Benefit on July 31, 2013 (a total deferral of 15 years), the percentage is fifty-five percent (55%). 

  

	 	e.	Acquired Hughes Participant. 

 The term
“Acquired Hughes Participant” means any person who became a Participant or a Former Participant under the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement between The Boeing Company and Hughes Electronics Corporation. 
  

	 	f.	Hughes Retirement Plan. 

 The term “Hughes
Retirement Plan” means the Hughes Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan. 
  

 25 

	 	A.2.4 	BSS Account. 

  

	 	a.	Hughes Account 

 Hughes established an account, for
bookkeeping purposes only, for each Hughes Participant who elected the Substitute Benefit (the “Hughes Account”). The Hughes Account was to be credited as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	The Hughes Account of a Hughes Participant who elected the Substitute Benefit was initially credited, as of August 1, 1998, by (aa) the sum of the Hughes
Participant’s Suspended Payments (if any), plus (bb) interest on the Hughes Participant’s Suspended Payments (if any) at the rate of one-half percent (0.5%) per month from the date each payment would have been made but for the suspension
through July 31, 1998, plus (cc) the Hughes Participant’s Settlement Credit (if any). 

  

	 	(ii)	As of the date that each Proximate Reclassified Payment and Distant Reclassified Payment would have been made (but for the Hughes Participant’s election of the Substitute
Benefit), commencing with the Reclassified Payment which would have been made August 1, 1998, the Hughes Account was credited with the amount of such Reclassified Payment. In addition, if Reclassified Payments were made to a Hughes Participant
in January through March, 1998, then the Hughes Participant who elected the Substitute Benefit was allowed to elect that his regularly-scheduled payments from the Hughes Excess Plan be credited to the Hughes Account as of the date such payments
would otherwise have been made. The amount of the regularly-scheduled payments to be credited to the Hughes Account must not exceed the amount by which such Reclassified Payments increased his taxable income for 1998, as determined by Hughes.

  

	 	(iii)	 As of the last day of each month, through the month specified below, the unpaid amount of the Hughes Account is increased by interest at a monthly rate of 0.7591%
(approximately an equivalent annual rate of 9-1/2% compounded monthly). The duration of interest credits depends upon the payout election made by the Hughes Participant pursuant to Section A.2.1 of the Appendix. Interest is credited though the last
day of the month immediately preceding the month for which the final 

  

 26 

	 	 
payment of the Substitute Benefit is made for any Hughes Participant who (aa) elected payment in a single sum, (bb) elected payment in two substantially
equal installments, or (cc) elected payment in five installments commencing on or before the eleventh anniversary of the Hughes Participant’s Deferral Start Date. Interest is to be credited through the last day of the month immediately
preceding the month for which the initial installment payment of the Substitute Benefit is made for any Hughes Participant who elected payment in five installments commencing on or after the twelfth anniversary of the Hughes Participant’s
Deferral Start Date, and no interest may be credited for such Hughes Participant on or after the date installments commence. 

  

	 	b.	Continuation as BSS Account 

 On the Closing Date,
the Company shall establish an account, for bookkeeping purposes only, for each Acquired Hughes Participant who elected the Substitute Benefit (the “BSS Account”). The BSS Account shall be credited as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	The BSS Account shall be initially credited with the unpaid amount of the Acquired Hughes Participant’s Hughes Account under the Hughes Excess Plan as of the Closing Date.

  

	 	(ii)	As of the date that each Distant Reclassified Payment would have been made (but for the Hughes Participant’s election of the Substitute Benefit), commencing with the first
Distant Reclassified Payment payable after the Closing Date, the BSS Account will be credited with the amount of such Distant Reclassified Payment. 

  

	 	(iii)	 As of the last day of each month, through the month specified below, the unpaid amount of the BSS Account is increased by interest at a monthly rate of 0.7591%
(approximately an equivalent annual rate of 9-1/2% compounded monthly). (If the month specified below occurred prior to the Closing Date, then no interest credits will be made to the BSS Account). The duration of interest credits depends upon the
payout election made by the Acquired Hughes Participant pursuant to Section A.2.1 of the Appendix. Interest is credited though the last day of the month immediately preceding the month for which the final payment of the Substitute Benefit is made
for any Acquired Hughes Participant who (aa) elected payment in a single 

  

 27 

	 	 
sum, (bb) elected payment in two substantially equal installments, or (cc) elected payment in five installments commencing on or before the eleventh
anniversary of the Hughes Participant’s Deferral Start Date. Interest is to be credited though the last day of the month immediately preceding the month for which the initial installment payment of the Substitute Benefit is made for any
Acquired Hughes Participant who elected payment in five installments commencing on or after the twelfth anniversary of the Acquired Hughes Participant’s Deferral Start Date, and no interest may be credited for such Acquired Hughes Participant
on or after the date installments commence. 

  

	 	A.3.1 	Payment During Hughes Participant’s Life. 

 The
BSS Account will be paid to the Acquired Hughes Participant as specified in the election described in Section A.2.1 of this Appendix. 
  

	 	A.3.2 	Payment Following Hughes Participant’s Death. 

 The unpaid balance of the BSS Account will be paid to the Acquired Hughes Participant’s Beneficiary as follows. 
 Unless the
Hughes Participant elected otherwise, one-half of the unpaid balance of the BSS Account shall be paid as soon as feasible following the Acquired Hughes Participant’s death and the remaining one-half shall be paid in January of the following
year. 
 Each Hughes Participant was entitled to elect, at the time of the Hughes Participant’s election under Section A.2.1 of this
Appendix, that the benefit payable to the Beneficiary following the death of the Hughes Participant shall be made at the time and in the manner payment would have been made to the Hughes Participant during the Hughes Participant’s life. This
election will continue to apply to Acquired Hughes Participants. 
 If Reclassified Payments remain unpaid following payment of the BSS
Account to the Beneficiary, then the Reclassified Payments shall be paid to the Beneficiary at the time the Reclassified Payments would have been paid but for the election of the Substitute Benefit. Unless an Acquired Hughes Participant elects
otherwise, the Beneficiary for purposes of this Appendix shall be the Beneficiary otherwise designated under the Retirement Plan. The Acquired Hughes Participant shall be entitled to name a different Beneficiary for purposes of this Appendix.

  

 28 

	IV.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

  

	 	A.4.1 	General. 

 This Appendix is incorporated by
reference into the Plan as if set forth fully therein. Any capitalized terms used in this Appendix which are not defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings specified in the Plan. 
  

	 	A.4.2 	Elections Irrevocable. 

 Elections by a Hughes
Participant under this Appendix are irrevocable. 
  

	 	A.4.3 	Defense Retirees. 

 In 1997, the Hughes’
defense businesses were acquired by Raytheon Company. As part of that transaction, the Hughes and Raytheon Company agreed that the liabilities of the Plan and the assets and liabilities of the Retirement Plan attributable to defense employees and
retirees will be transferred to plans sponsored by Raytheon Company. Accordingly, the provisions of this Appendix apply only to non-defense retirees, and no benefit is created under this Appendix for defense retirees. 
  

	 	A.4.4 3	Section 415 Changes. 

 Code section 415(e) was
repealed effective for limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2000. The repeal may increase the limitation on benefits payable from the Retirement Plan to some or all Acquired Hughes Participants who elected the Substitute Benefit.
The Company reserves the right to pay the Substitute Benefit from the Retirement Plan in lieu of the benefits payable hereunder to the extent permitted by law. 
  

 29 

 APPENDIX B 
 Plan Provisions Prior To January 1, 1999 
  

	B1.1 	Eligibility and Benefits for BCERP Participants 

 Prior to
January 1, 1999, this Plan offered certain benefits to participants in the BCERP whose benefits were affected by the limitations on benefits or contributions imposed by section 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code. Effective January 1, 1999,
certain of those participants were transferred to the SERP and ceased to be eligible for benefits under this Plan based upon their participation in the BCERP. To the extent any participant eligible for benefits under this Plan based upon his or her
participation in the BCERP was not transferred to the SERP, such participant shall remain eligible to participate in this Plan and to receive such benefits. Effective January 1, 2008, all such benefits remaining under this Plan have commenced
and are not subject to the deferral and distribution rules under Articles IV & V of the 2008 restatement. 
 With respect to the BCERP, the benefits
under this Plan represent the difference between the actual benefits of a Participant under the BCERP and the benefits that would have been payable under that plan except for the limitations on benefits imposed by sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the
Code. The benefits payable under this Plan with respect to the BCERP were payable to the Participant or to any other person who is receiving or entitled to receive benefits with respect to the Participant under the BCERP, and were paid in the same
form, at the same times and for the same period as benefits were paid with respect to the Participant under the BCERP. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit payable under this Plan with respect to the BCERP was $10,000 or less, the Actuarial Equivalent value of the benefit was paid in the form of an automatic lump sum at the same time as benefits began or were
paid under the BCERP. Actuarial Equivalent is defined in the BCERP. This paragraph applies to Participants who retire or begin receiving termination benefits under the BCERP on or after February 1, 1997, and for this purpose the Actuarial
Equivalent shall be determined as of the Participant’s Retirement Date under the Employee Retirement Plan. This paragraph shall also apply to Participants who are receiving benefits under this Plan as of February 1, 1997, and for this
purpose the Actuarial Equivalent shall be determined with respect to each participant’s remaining benefits payable under this Plan determined as of February 1, 1997. 
 Effective January 1, 1999, any Employee who is eligible to participate in the SERP shall no longer be entitled to any benefit under this Appendix B1.1. To the extent any such Employee is determined to be entitled
to a benefit under this Appendix B1.1 of the Plan, such benefit shall be offset by any benefits received under the SERP. Any Employee who was a Participant in this Plan as of December 31, 1998 and eligible for a benefit under this Appendix B1.1
shall remain eligible for such benefit unless and until such Employee becomes eligible to participate in the SERP. The Plan will respect beneficiary designations made by a Participant at the time of commencement of the benefit under this Section
B.1.1, notwithstanding any contrary definition of Beneficiary under the Plan. 
  

 30 

	B1.2 	Eligibility and Benefits for FSP Participants 

 Prior to
January 1, 1999, salaried employees who were not represented by a collective bargaining agent were eligible to participate in the FSP. Accordingly, participants in the FSP were eligible to participate in this Plan prior to that date, to the
extent that their FSP benefits were limited by Code sections 415 and 401(a)(17). 
 The benefits under this Plan with respect to a particular year were the
additional benefits that would have been payable under the FSP if the reduction on contributions and other additions had not been made. All amounts deferred under this Plan were credited to the Accounts of Participants at the time such amounts would
otherwise have been credited to their accounts under the FSP. 
 For periods before January 1, 2009, a Participant’s Account is credited with
interest in accordance with the Interest Fund method under Section 4.2(B)(i). 
 For periods on or after January 1, 2009, a Participant’s
Account is credited with earnings in accordance with the method elected by the Participant under Section 4.2(B) (Earnings Credit Methods). 
 The
benefits payable under this Plan with respect to the FSP will be payable to the Participant in accordance with the distribution rules under Article V.
