General Terms

regardless of any action the Company or the Related Company that employs you (the “Employer”) takes
with respect to any Tax Withholding Obligations and/or any Other Obligations, the ultimate liability for all
such obligations is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld

Other Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Award; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no
obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your

your Employer may withhold or account for Tax Withholding Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.
2.Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.
(a)This Award is subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, as
amended from time to time (the “Policy”). The Policy provides (among other things) that an Award
may be subject to clawback and forfeiture (meaning that the Award or gross proceeds thereof must be
promptly returned to the Company if already distributed, or that you will lose your entitlement to an
Award if it has not yet been distributed) in the discretion of the Committee, if the Committee
determines that you have (i) violated, or engaged in negligent conduct in connection with the
supervision of someone who violated, any Company policy, law, or regulation that has compromised
the safety of any of the Company’s products or services and has, or reasonably could be expected to
have, a material adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s customers or the public; or (ii)
engaged in fraud, bribery, or illegal acts like fraud or bribery, or knowingly failed to report such acts of
an employee over whom you had direct supervisory responsibility. The Policy further contains
provisions regarding the recovery of certain “covered compensation” (as defined in the Policy) as
required pursuant to New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Section 10D of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any rules, regulations, or listing standards issued
to implement the foregoing from time to time. In accepting this Award, you acknowledge that you have
read the Policy, available at:
https://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/principles/ethics_and_compliance/pdf/clawback-
policy.pdf, that you understand the extent of its applicability to you, and that you agree to comply with
the terms and conditions of the Policy as they may be applied to you.
(b)In addition, subject to applicable law, or except as may be otherwise provided in the State-Specific
Terms, this Award is subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following
conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, prior to the second
anniversary of the final Distribution Date: you (i) plead or admit to, are convicted of, or are otherwise
found guilty of a criminal or indictable offense involving theft, fraud, embezzlement, or other similar
unlawful acts against the Company or against the Company’s interests; (ii) directly or indirectly
engage in competition with any aspect of Company business with which you were involved or about
which you gained Company proprietary or confidential information; (iii) induce or attempt to induce,
directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s employees, representatives or consultants to terminate,
discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract with the Company, in
order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with, you or any third party; (iv) disparage or defame
the Company or its products or current or former employees, provided that this clause shall not be
construed to prohibit any individual from reporting, in good faith, suspected unlawful conduct in the
workplace; or (v) take, misappropriate, use or disclose Company proprietary or confidential
information. Clawback can, if possible and where permitted by local law, be made by deducting
payments that will become due in the future (including salary, bonuses, or share awards). Your
acceptance of this Award shall constitute your acknowledgement and recognition that your
compliance with this Section is a condition for your receipt of this Award. For purposes of this Section,
the Company shall include the Company and all Related Companies.

circumstances and the parties agree that the restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the
Company’s legitimate business interests. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section, including
the sub-paragraphs and sub-clauses thereof, constitutes an entirely separate, severable and
independent restriction. If any restriction is found to be invalid this will not affect the validity or
3
enforceability of any of the other restrictions. It is agreed that if any such restrictions by themselves,
or taken together, are for any reason unenforceable, but would be enforceable if part or parts of the
wording were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such deletion(s) as may
be necessary to make it or them valid and enforceable.
