Seller of any Products with respect to which Boeing has elected to
cancel this Agreement.
B. COVER
Boeing may manufacture, produce or provide, or may engage any
other persons to manufacture, produce or provide, any Products in
substitution for the Products to be delivered or provided by
Seller hereunder with respect to which this Agreement or any Order
has been canceled and, in addition to any other remedies or
damages available to Boeing hereunder or at law or in equity,
Boeing may recover from Seller the difference between the price
for each such Product and the aggregate expense, including,
without limitation, administrative and other indirect costs, paid
or incurred by Boeing to manufacture, produce or provide, or
engage other persons to manufacture, produce or provide, each such
Product.
12
C. REWORK OR REPAIR
Where allowed by the applicable regulatory authority, Boeing or its
designee may rework or repair any Product in accordance with GTA
Section 8.3.
D. SETOFF
Boeing shall, at its option, have the right to set off against and
apply to the payment or performance of any obligation, sum or amount
owing at any time to Boeing hereunder or under any Order, all
deposits, amounts or balances held by Boeing for the account of
Seller and any amounts owed by Boeing to Seller, regardless of
whether any such deposit, amount, balance or other amount or payment
is then due and owing.
E. TOOLING AND OTHER MATERIALS
As compensation for the additional costs which Boeing will incur as
a result of the actual physical transfer of production capabilities
from Seller to Boeing or Boeing's designee, Seller shall upon the
request of Boeing, transfer and deliver to Boeing or Boeing's
designee title to any or all (i) Tooling, (ii) Boeing-furnished
material, (iii) raw materials, parts, work-in-process, incomplete or
completed assemblies, and all other Products or parts thereof in the
possession or under the effective control of Seller or any of its
subcontractors (iv) Proprietary Information and Materials of Boeing
including without limitation planning data, drawings and other
Proprietary Information and Materials relating to the design,
production, maintenance, repair and use of Tooling, in the
possession or under the effective control of Seller or any of its
subcontractors, in each case free and clear of all liens, claims or
other rights of any person.
Seller shall be entitled to receive from Boeing reasonable
compensation for any item accepted by Boeing which has been
transferred to Boeing pursuant to this Section 13.2.E (except for
any item the price of which shall have been paid to Seller prior to
such transfer); provided, however, that such compensation shall not
be paid directly to Seller, but shall be accounted for as a setoff
against any damages payable by Seller to Boeing as a result of any
Event of Default.
F. REMEDIES GENERALLY
No failure on the part of Boeing in exercising any right or remedy
hereunder, or as provided by law or in equity, shall impair,
prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy, or
shall be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or as an
acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such
right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No acceptance of
partial payment or performance of any of Seller's obligations
hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or a
waiver or release of payment or performance in full by Seller of any
such obligation. All rights and remedies of Boeing hereunder and at
law and in equity shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive and
the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to
exercise any other. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed to limit any right or remedy of Boeing now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity.
13
14.0 EXCUSABLE DELAY
If delivery of any Product is delayed by unforeseeable circumstances
beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Seller or of
its suppliers or subcontractors (any such delay being hereinafter
referred to as "Excusable Delay"), the delivery of such Product shall be
extended for a period to be determined by Boeing after an assessment by
Boeing of alternate work methods. Excusable Delays may include, but are
not limited to, acts of God, war, riots, acts of government, fires,
floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, strikes
or unusually severe weather, but shall exclude Seller's noncompliance
with any rule, regulation or order promulgated by any governmental
agency for or with respect to environmental protection. However, the
above notwithstanding, Boeing expects Seller to continue production,
recover lost time and support all schedules as established under this
Agreement or any Order. Therefore, it is understood and agreed that (i)
delays of less than two (2) days' duration shall not be considered to be
Excusable Delays unless such delays shall occur within thirty (30) days
preceding the scheduled delivery date of any Product and (ii) if delay
in delivery of any Product is caused by the default of any of Seller's
subcontractors or suppliers, such delay shall not be considered an
Excusable Delay unless the supplies or services to be provided by such
subcontractor or supplier are not obtainable from other sources in
sufficient time to permit Seller to meet the applicable delivery
schedules. If delivery of any Product is delayed by any Excusable Delay
for more than three (3) months, Boeing may, without any additional
extension, cancel all or part of any Order with respect to the delayed
Products, and exercise any of its remedies in accordance with GTA
Section 13.2 provided however, that Boeing shall not be entitled to
monetary damages or specific performance to the extent Seller's breach
is the result of an Excusable Delay.
15.0 SUSPENSION OF WORK
Boeing may at any time, by written order to Seller, require Seller to
stop all or any part of the work called for by this Agreement for up to
one hundred twenty (120) days hereafter referred to as a "Stop Work
Order" issued pursuant to this Section 15.0. On receipt of a Stop Work
Order, Seller shall promptly comply with its terms and take all
reasonable steps to minimize the occurrence of costs arising from the
work covered by the Stop Work Order during the period of work stoppage.
Within the period covered by the Stop Work Order (including any
extension thereof) Boeing shall either (i) cancel the Stop Work Order or
(ii) terminate or cancel the work covered by the Stop Work Order in
accordance with the provisions of GTA Section 12.0 or 13.0. In the
event the Stop Work Order is canceled by Boeing or the period of the
Stop Work Order (including any extension thereof) expires, Seller shall
promptly resume work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or
any applicable Order.
16.0 TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION AND INDEMNITY AGAINST SUBCONTRACTOR CLAIMS
Boeing shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any
termination pursuant to GTA Section 12.1, except as expressly provided
in GTA Section 12.3 or any cancellation under GTA Section 13.0 except to
the extent that such cancellation shall have been determined by Boeing
and Seller to have been wrongful, in which case such wrongful
cancellation shall be deemed a termination pursuant to GTA Section 12.1
and therefore shall be limited to the payment to Seller of the amount or
amounts identified in GTA Section 12.3. As subcontractor claims are
included in Seller's termination claim pursuant to GTA Section 12.3,
Seller shall indemnify Boeing and hold Boeing harmless from and against
(i) any and all claims, suits and proceedings against Boeing by any
subcontractor or supplier of Seller in respect of any such termination
and (ii) and any and all costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred by
Boeing in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding.
14
17.0 ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE
A. SELLER TO PROVIDE ASSURANCE
If Boeing determines, at any time or from time to time, that it
is not sufficiently assured of Seller's full, timely and
continuing performance hereunder, or if for any other reason
Boeing has reasonable grounds for insecurity, Boeing may request,
by notice to Seller, written assurance (hereafter an "Assurance
of Performance") with respect to any specific matters affecting
Seller's performance hereunder, that Seller is able to perform
all of its respective obligations under this Agreement when and
as specified herein. Each Assurance of Performance shall be
delivered by Seller to Boeing as promptly as possible, but in any
event no later than 15 calendar days following Boeing's request
therefore and each Assurance of Performance shall be accompanied
by any information, reports or other materials, prepared by
Seller, as Boeing may reasonably request. Boeing may suspend all
or any part of Boeing's performance hereunder until Boeing
receives an Assurance of Performance from Seller satisfactory in
form and substance to Boeing.
B. MEETINGS AND INFORMATION
Boeing may request one or more meetings with senior management or
other employees of Seller for the purpose of discussing any
request by Boeing for Assurance of Performance or any Assurance
of Performance provided by Seller. Seller shall make such persons
available to meet with representatives of Boeing as soon as may
be practicable following a request for any such meeting by Boeing
and Seller shall make available to Boeing any additional
information, reports or other materials in connection therewith
as Boeing may reasonably request.
18.0 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROPERTY
On delivery to Seller or manufacture or acquisition by it of any
materials, parts, Tooling or other property, title to any of which is
held by Boeing, Seller shall assume the risk of and shall be
responsible for any loss thereof or damage thereto. In accordance
with the provisions of an Order, but in any event on completion
thereof, Seller shall return such property to Boeing in the condition
in which it was received except for reasonable wear and tear and
except to the extent that such property has been incorporated in
Products delivered under such Order or has been consumed in the
normal performance of work under such Order.
19.0 LIMITATION OF SELLER'S RIGHT TO ENCUMBER ASSETS
Seller warrants to Boeing that it has good title to all inventory,
work-in-process, tooling and materials to be supplied by Seller in
the performance of its obligations under any Order ("Inventory"), and
that pursuant to the provisions of such Order, it will transfer to
Boeing title to such Inventory, whether transferred separately or as
part of any Product delivered under the Order, free of any liens,
charges, encumbrances or rights of others.
20.0 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND ITEMS
Boeing and Seller shall each keep confidential and protect from
disclosure all (a) confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret
information; (b) tangible items containing, conveying, or embodying
such information; and (c) tooling obtained from and/or belonging to
the other in connection with this Agreement or any Order
(collectively referred to as "Proprietary Information and
Materials"). Boeing and Seller shall each use Proprietary Information
and Materials of the other only in the performance of and for the
purpose of this Agreement and/or any Order. Provided, however, that
despite any other obligations or restrictions imposed by this Section
20.0, Boeing shall have the right to use and disclose Seller's
Proprietary Information and Materials for the purposes of testing,
certification, use, sale, or support of any item delivered under this
Agreement, an Order, or any airplane including such an item; and any
such disclosure by Boeing shall, whenever appropriate, include a
restrictive legend
15
20.0 (cont.)
suitable to the particular circumstances. The restrictions on
disclosure or use of Proprietary Information and Materials by Seller
shall apply to all materials derived by Seller or others from
Boeing's Proprietary Information and Materials. Upon Boeing's request
at any time, and in any event upon the completion, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement, Seller shall return all of Boeing's
Proprietary Information and Materials, and all materials derived from
Boeing's Proprietary Information and Materials to Boeing unless
specifically directed otherwise in writing by Boeing. Seller shall
not, without the prior written authorization of Boeing, sell or
otherwise dispose of (as scrap or otherwise) any parts or other
materials containing, conveying, embodying, or made in accordance
with or by reference to any Proprietary Information and Materials of
Boeing. Prior to disposing of such parts or materials as scrap,
Seller shall render them unusable. Boeing shall have the right to
audit Seller's compliance with this Section 20.0. Seller may disclose
Proprietary Information and Materials of Boeing to its subcontractors
as required for the performance of an Order, provided that each such
subcontractor first assumes, by written agreement, the same
obligations imposed upon Seller under this Section 20.0 relating to
Proprietary Information and Materials; and Seller shall be liable to
Boeing for any breach of such obligation by such subcontractor. The
provisions of this Section 20.0 are effective in lieu of, and will
apply notwithstanding the absence of, any restrictive legends or
notices applied to Proprietary Information and Materials; and the
provisions of this Section 20.0 shall survive the performance,
completion, termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any
Order. This Section 20.0 supersedes and replaces any and all other
prior agreements or understandings between the parties to the extent
that such agreements or understandings relate to Boeing's obligations
relative to confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret
information, or tangible items containing, conveying, or embodying
such information, obtained from Seller and related to any Product,
regardless of whether disclosed to the receiving party before or
after the effective date of this Agreement.
21.0 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
21.1 SELLER'S OBLIGATION
Seller shall be responsible for complying with all laws, including,
but not limited to, any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree,
order, or permit applicable to its performance under this Agreement.
Seller further agrees (1) to notify Boeing of any obligation under
this Agreement which is prohibited under applicable environmental
law, at the earliest opportunity but in all events sufficiently in
advance of Seller's performance of such obligation so as to enable
the identification of alternative methods of performance, and (2) to
notify Boeing at the earliest possible opportunity of any aspect of
its performance which becomes subject to additional environmental
regulation of which Seller reasonably believes will become subject to
additional regulation during the performance of this Agreement.
16
21.0 (cont.)
21.2 GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS
If any of the work to be performed under this Agreement is performed in
the United States, Seller shall, via invoice or other form satisfactory
to Boeing, certify that the Products covered by the Order were produced
in compliance with Sections 6, 7, and 12 of the Fair Labor Standards
Act (29 U. S. C. 201-291), as amended, and the regulations and orders
of the U. S. Department of Labor issued thereunder. In addition, the
following Federal Acquisition Regulations are incorporated herein by
this reference except "Contractor" shall mean "Seller":
FAR 52.222-26 "Equal Opportunity"
FAR 52.222-35 "Affirmative Action for Special Disabled
and Vietnam Era Veterans"
FAR 52.222-36 "Affirmative Action for Handicapped Workers".
22.0 INTEGRITY IN PROCUREMENT
Boeing's policy is to maintain high standards of integrity in
procurement. Boeing's employees must ensure that no favorable treatment
compromises their impartiality in the procurement process. Accordingly,
Boeing's employees must strictly refrain from soliciting or accepting
any payment, gift, favor or thing of value which could improperly
influence their judgment with respect to either issuing a Order or
administering this Agreement. Consistent with this policy, Seller
agrees not to provide or offer to provide any employees of Boeing any
payment, gift, favor or thing of value for the purposes of improperly
obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with any Order
or this Agreement. Seller shall conduct its own procurement practices
and shall ensure that its suppliers conduct their procurement practices
consistent with these standards. If Seller has reasonable grounds to
believe that this policy may have been violated, Seller shall
immediately report such possible violation to the appropriate Director
of Materiel or Ethics Advisor of Boeing.
23.0 INFRINGEMENT
Seller shall indemnify, defend, and save Boeing and Customers harmless
from all claims, suits, actions, awards (including but not limited to
awards based on intentional infringement of patents known to Seller at
the time of such infringement, exceeding actual damages, and/or
including attorneys' fees and/or costs), liabilities, damages, costs
and attorneys' fees, (but excluding consequential damages) related to
the actual or alleged infringement of any United States or foreign
intellectual property right (including but not limited to any right in
a patent, copyright, industrial design or semiconductor mask work, or
based on misappropriation or wrongful use of information or documents)
and arising out of the manufacture, sale or use of Products by Boeing
or Customers. Boeing and/or Customers shall duly notify Seller of any
such claim, suit or action; and Seller shall, at its own expense, fully
defend such claim, suit or action on behalf of Boeing and/or Customers.
Seller shall have no obligation under this Section 23.0 with regard to
any infringement arising from: (i) Seller's compliance with formal
specifications issued by Boeing where infringement could not be avoided
in complying with such specifications or (ii) use or sale of PRODUCTS
in combination with other items when such infringement would not have
occurred from the use or sale of those Products solely for the purpose
for which they were designed or sold by Seller. For purposes of this
Section 23.0 only, the term Customer shall not include the United
States Government; and the term Boeing shall include The Boeing Company
(Boeing) and all Boeing subsidiaries and all officers, agents, and
employees of Boeing or any Boeing subsidiary.
17
24.0 BOEING'S RIGHTS IN SELLER'S PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADE SECRETS, AND
TOOLING
Seller hereby grants to Boeing an irrevocable, nonexclusive, paid-up
worldwide license to practice and/or use, and license others to
practice and/or use on Boeing's behalf, all of Seller's patents,
copyrights, trade secrets (including, without limitation, designs,
processes, drawings, technical data and tooling), industrial designs,
semiconductor mask works, and tooling (collectively hereinafter
referred to as "Licensed Property") related to the development,
production, maintenance or repair of Products. Boeing hereafter retains
all of the aforementioned license rights in Licensed Property, but
Boeing hereby covenants not to exercise such rights except in
connection with the making, having made, using and selling of Products
or products of the same kind and then only if such undelivered quantity
of Product cannot, in Boeing's sole determination, be obtained from
commercially available sources (including Boeing) without the use of
Seller's Licensed Property and if one or more of the following
situations occur:
a. Seller discontinues or suspends business operations or the
production of any or all of the Products;
b. Seller is acquired by or transfers all of its rights to manufacture
the Products to any unrelated third party.
c. Boeing cancels this Agreement or any Order for cause pursuant to
GTA Section 13.0 herein;
d. in Boeing's judgment it becomes necessary, in order for Seller to
comply with the terms of this Agreement or any Order, for Boeing to
provide support to Seller (in the form of design, manufacturing, or
on-site personnel assistance) substantially in excess of that which
Boeing normally provides to its suppliers;
e. Seller's trustee in bankruptcy (or Seller as debtor in possession)
fails to assume this Agreement and all Orders by formal entry of
an order in the bankruptcy court within sixty (60) days after entry
of an order for relief in a bankruptcy case of the Seller, or
Boeing elects to retain its rights to Licensed Property under the
bankruptcy laws;
f. Seller is at any time insolvent (whether measured under a balance
sheet test or by the failure to pay debts as they come due) or the
subject of any insolvency or debt assignment proceeding under state
or nonbankruptcy law; or
g. Seller voluntarily becomes a debtor in any case under bankruptcy
law or, in the event an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed
against Seller, such petition is not dismissed within (30) days.
As a part of the license granted under this Section 24.0, Seller shall,
at the written request of Boeing and at no additional cost to Boeing,
promptly deliver to Boeing any and all Licensed Property considered by
Boeing to be necessary to satisfy Boeing's requirements for Products
and their substitutes.

of any tier will not, (i) cause or permit to be released any publicity,
advertisement, news release, public announcement, or denial or
confirmation of the same, in whatever form, regarding any Order or
Products, or the program to which they may pertain, or (ii) use, or
cause or permit to be used, the Boeing name or any Boeing trademark in
any form of promotion or publicity without Boeing's prior written
approval.
27.0 PROPERTY INSURANCE
27.1 INSURANCE
When Boeing has an insurable interest, Seller shall obtain and maintain
continuously in effect a property insurance policy covering loss or
destruction of or damage to all property in which Boeing does or could
have an insurable interest pursuant to this Agreement, including but
not limited to Tooling, Boeing-furnished property, raw materials,
parts, work-in process, incomplete or completed assemblies and all other
products or parts thereof, and all drawings, specifications, data and
other materials relating to any of the foregoing in each case to the
extent in the possession or under the effective care, custody or
control of Seller, in the amount of full replacement value thereof
providing protection against all perils normally covered in an "all
risk" property insurance policy (including without limitation fire,
windstorm, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft, earthquake,
flood or other acts of God). Any such policy shall be with insurers
reasonably acceptable to Boeing and shall (i) provide for payment of
loss thereunder to Boeing, as loss payee, as its interests may appear
and (ii) contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation against Boeing,
its subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents.
27.2 CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
Upon written request from Boeing, Seller shall provide to Boeing's
Materiel Representative certificates of insurance reflecting full
compliance with the requirements set forth in GTA Section 27.1. Such
certificates shall be kept current and in compliance throughout the
period of this Agreement and shall provide for thirty (30) days
advanced written notice to Boeing's Materiel Representative in the
event of cancellation, non-renewal or material change adversely
affecting the interests of Boeing.
27.3 NOTICE OF DAMAGE OR LOSS
Seller shall give prompt written notice to Boeing's Materiel
Representative of the occurrence of any damage or loss to any property
required to be insured herein. If any such property shall be damaged or
destroyed, in whole or in part, by an insured peril or otherwise, and
if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
Seller may, upon written notice to Boeing, settle, adjust, or compromise
any and all such loss or damage not in excess of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in any one occurrence and Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in the aggregate. Seller may settle, adjust
or compromise any other claim by Seller only after Boeing has given
written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
19
28.0 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERFORMANCE
Seller shall be responsible for the requirements of this Agreement and
any Order referencing this Agreement. Seller shall bear all risks of
providing adequate facilities and equipment to perform each Order in
accordance with the terms thereof. Seller shall include as part of its
subcontracts those elements of the Agreement which protect Boeing's
rights including but not limited to right of entry provisions,
proprietary information and rights provisions and quality control
provisions. In addition, Seller shall provide to its subcontractors
sufficient information to clearly document that the work being
performed by Seller's subcontractor is to facilitate performance under
this Agreement or any Order. Sufficient information may include but is
not limited to Order number, GTA number and the name of Boeing's
Materiel Representative. No subcontracting by Seller shall relieve
Seller of its obligation under the applicable Order.
28.1 SUBCONTRACTING
Where required by the requirements of the Order, no raw material
and/or material process may be incorporated in a Product unless: (a)
Seller uses an approved source or (b) Boeing has surveyed and qualified
Seller's receiving inspection personnel and laboratories to test the
specified raw materials an/or material process. No waiver of survey and
qualification requirements will be effective unless granted by
Boeing's Engineering and Quality Control Departments. Utilization of a
Boeing-approved raw material source does not constitute a waiver of
Seller's responsibility to meet all specification requirements.
Seller shall maintain complete and accurate records regarding all
subcontracted items and/or processes. Seller's use of subcontractors
shall comply with Seller's quality assurance system approval for said
subcontractors.
28.2 RELIANCE
Boeing's entering into this Agreement is in part based upon Boeing's
reliance on Seller's ability, expertise and awareness of the intended
use of the Products. Seller agrees that Boeing and Boeing's customers
may rely on Seller as an expert, and Seller will not deny any
responsibility or obligation hereunder to Boeing or Boeing's customers
on the grounds that Boeing or Boeing's customers provided
recommendations or assistance in any phase of the work involved in
producing or supporting the Products, including but not limited to
Boeing's acceptance of specifications, test data or the Products.
28.3 ASSIGNMENT
Each Order shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided
however, that no assignment of any rights or delegation of any duties
under such Order is binding on Boeing unless Boeing's written consent
has first been obtained. Notwithstanding the above, Seller may assign
claims for monies due or to become due under any Order provided that
Boeing may recoup or setoff any amounts covered by any such assignment
against any indebtedness of Seller to Boeing, whether arising before or
after the date of the assignment or the date of this Agreement, and
whether arising out of any such Order or any other agreement between
the parties. Boeing may settle all claims arising out of any Order,
including termination claims, directly with Seller.
29.0 NON-WAIVER
Boeing's failure at any time to enforce any provision of an Order
does not constitute a waiver of such provision or prejudice Boeing's
right to enforce such provision at any subsequent time.

Seller may not (except to provide an inventory of Products to support
delivery acceleration and to satisfy reasonable replacement and Spares
requirements) manufacture or fabricate Products or procure any goods in

schedule in the applicable Order. Notwithstanding any other provision of
an Order, Seller is not entitled to any equitable adjustment or other
modification of such Order for any manufacture, fabrication, or
procurement of Products not in conformity with the requirements of the
Order, unless Boeing's written consent has first been obtained. Nothing
in this Section 34.0 shall be construed as relieving Seller of any of
its obligations under the Order.

All taxes, including but not limited to federal, state and local
income taxes, value added taxes, gross receipt taxes, property taxes,

Taxes") for which Boeing has not supplied a valid exemption
certificate or unless otherwise indicated on the applicable Order.
35.2 LITIGATION

Seller shall take such action as Boeing may direct to pay or
protest such taxes or to defend against such claim. The actual and
direct expenses, without the addition of profit and overhead, of
such defense and the amount of such taxes as ultimately determined as
due and payable shall be paid directly by Boeing or reimbursed to
Seller. If Seller or Boeing is successful in defending such claim,
the amount of such taxes recovered by Seller, which had previously
been paid by Seller and reimbursed by Boeing or paid directly by
Boeing, shall be immediately refunded to Boeing.
35.3 REBATES
If any taxes paid by Boeing are subject to rebate or reimbursement,
Seller shall take the necessary actions to secure such rebates or
reimbursement and shall promptly refund to Boeing any amount
recovered.
21
36.0 FOREIGN PROCUREMENT OFFSET
With respect to work covered by the Order, Seller shall use its best
efforts to cooperate with Boeing in the fulfillment of any foreign
offset program obligation that Boeing may have accepted as a condition
of the sale of Boeing's products. In the event that Seller solicits
bids or proposals for, or procures or offers to procure any goods or
services relating to the work covered by an Order from any source
outside of the United States, Boeing shall be entitled, to the
exclusion of all others, to all industrial benefits and other "offset"
credits which may result from such solicitations, procurements or
offers to procure. Seller agrees to take any actions that may be
required on its part to assure that Boeing receives such credits.

12.6 VALUE ENGINEERING, WEIGHT REDUCTION, LEAN MANUFACTURING AND RAW MATERIAL
COST IMPROVEMENT
12.6.1 VALUE ENGINEERING
Seller may from time to time submit proposals to Boeing to change
drawings, designs, specifications or other requirements that:
a. decrease Seller's performance costs; or
b. produce a net reduction in the cost to Boeing of installation,
operation, maintenance or production of the Product.
Provided, that such change shall not impair any essential functions or
characteristics of the Products or Tooling.
12.6.1.1 SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL
Proposals shall be submitted to Boeing's Materiel Representative.
Boeing shall not be liable for any delay in acting upon a proposal.
Boeing's decision to accept or reject any proposal shall be final.
If there is a delay and the net result in savings no longer
justifies the investment, Seller will not be obligated to proceed
with the change. Seller has the right to withdraw, in whole or in
part, any proposal not accepted by Boeing within the time period
specified in the proposal. Seller shall submit, as a minimum, the
following information with the proposal:
a. description of the difference between the existing
requirement and the proposed change, and the comparative advantages
and disadvantages of each;
b. the specific requirements which must be changed if the
proposal is adopted;
c. the cost savings and Seller's implementation costs;
d. Each proposal shall include the need dates for engineering
release and the time by which a proposal must be approved so as
to obtain the maximum cost reduction.
5
12.6.1.2 ACCEPTANCE AND COST SHARING
Boeing may accept, in whole or in part, any proposal by issuing a
change order. Until such change has been issued, Seller shall
remain obligated to perform in accordance with the terms and
requirements of the original Order as written. Boeing and Seller
shall share the savings as follows:
(50%) savings to Boeing;
(50%) savings to Seller.
Seller shall include with each proposal verifiable cost records and
other data as required by Boeing for proposal review and analysis.
Each party shall be responsible for its own implementation costs,
including but not limited to non-recurring costs.
12.6.1.3 COST SAVINGS COMPUTATION
A change order shall be issued by Boeing and the unit price shall be
reduced in an amount equal to the savings portion attributable to
Boeing as set forth above. The applicable unit price as set forth
in Attachment 1 Statement of Work shall be amended to reflect such
change.
EXAMPLE:
--------
Current Price: $600.00
Proposed Cost Savings: $100.00/unit
Boeing's Percentage: 50.0%
Seller's Percentage: 50.0%
STEP BY STEP COMPUTATION:
1. $100.00 unit savings x 50.0% Boeing's percentage of savings =
$50.00 Boeing savings.
2. $100.00 unit savings x 50.0% Seller's percentage of savings =
$50.00 Seller savings.
3. Net affect to the unit cost = $50.00
New Unit Price For Units - $550.00
12.6.2 WEIGHT REDUCTION PROPOSALS
Seller is encouraged to submit proposals to Boeing that reduce the
Product's weight without impairing any essential functions or
characteristics of the Product.
Seller shall submit such proposals in accordance with SBP Section 12.6.1
above. The amount of any costs or savings that result from a weight
reduction proposal shall be agreed by Boeing and Seller. Seller shall
include with each proposal verifiable cost records and other data as
required by Boeing for proposal review and analysis.
Boeing may accept in whole or in part, any such proposal by issuing a
change order to the applicable Order.
12.6.3 LEAN MANUFACTURING/PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Boeing and Seller agree to work together to identify areas of
improvement which affect the manufacturing and assembly process at
Seller's facility and/or Seller's subcontractor's
6
facilities. Manufacturing and assembly processes include but are not
limited to inventory turn rates, leadtime reductions, contracting
strategies, setup reductions and lot size reductions. Boeing and
Seller agree to use the following metrics to evaluate improvement:
i) Inventory Turns, defined as Annual Costs of Goods Sold/Inventory
Value; ii) Productivity, defined as Annual Sales/Average Employee
Count; and, iii) Asset Turnover, defined as Annual Sales/Total Assets.
Additional metrics may be added and evaluated as agreed to by the
parties. Where Boeing and Seller can identify areas of improvement,
beyond those previously anticipated, identified and documented in
the contract price, the parties will determine the amount of savings
which will result from the improvements and share the savings as set
forth in 12.6.1.2 above. Where a savings is identified and documented,
the parties agree to reduce the Product unit price by that amount
apportioned to Boeing as identified above.
12.6.4 RAW MATERIAL COST IMPROVEMENT
In the event Boeing implements a program to address raw material
issues affecting the subcontractor base, Seller agrees to support
Boeing by identifying areas of improvement involving raw materials.
When requested by Boeing, Seller shall identify usage, leadtime,
contractual impediments or any other factor which may affect
Boeing's ability to implement raw material program improvements.
Boeing's program to improve leadtime and price for raw material is
intended to support all divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates
of The Boeing Company.
Where savings are identified and documented, the parties agree to
reduce the Product's unit price by the corresponding reduction in
raw material price plus the applicable reduction in the corresponding
xxxx-ups. These reductions shall be incorporated on the first delivery
of applicable Product(s) which incorporate the revised pricing for raw
material or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
The implementation of these programs by Boeing and Seller's
participation in these programs shall not impair, prejudice or relieve
Seller of its obligations under any applicable Order.

PRECIOUS METALS ABNORMAL ESCALATION CHARGES
Abnormal escalation adjustment clauses for precious metals used in the
manufacture of Seller's products shall be in effect for this contract. The
purpose of such clauses is to protect Supplier and Buyer from extreme price
fluctuations in the precious metals used to plate electrical contacts. As
such, the following clauses shall be in effect during the period of this
contract for determining price adjustments, which shall occur quarterly, for
such extreme fluctuations.
RHODIUM
The following concept will be used for calculating abnormal escalation
adjustments for the rhodium plated electrical contacts. The amount of rhodium
in each contact is as follows:
Part Number Rhodium Content (grams)
---------------------------------------------
BACC47CN3 .00314000
BACC47CN3B .00314000
BACC47CP2T .00246688
BACC47CP2TB .00246688
BACC47CP3T .00373080
The base price of rhodium shall be $20.81 per gram with a ceiling price of
$35/gram and a floor price of $6.62. Adjustments will be made when the price
of rhodium extends beyond the ceiling or floor and will be adjusted from the
base price. The following formula shall be used for price adjustments:
(Monthly weighted average rhodium price - base rhodium price) x rhodium
content (grams) x quantity of electrical contacts delivered in the
referenced quarter.
A resulting positive number indicates that Boeing owes Tri-Star, while a
resulting negative number indicates that Tri-Star owes Boeing.
As soon as practical after each quarter delivery date (March 31, June 30,
September 30, December 31), Supplier will send to Buyer an assertion for the
rhodium adjustment for that quarter. Documentation provided to Buyer shall
include:
- Part number
- Quantity of parts
- Price adjustments for that part number
- All invoices for rhodium purchased in the delivery month
- Rhodium cost used in the adjustment formula
As soon as the data can be verified, Buyer will issue a non-receivable
purchase order for the cost adjustment.

EXAMPLES:
RHODIUM PRICE INCREASE:
Current month weighted average price: $35.00/gr.
Base price: $21.81/gr.
Part deliveries. BACC47CN3 = 18,000
Rhodium content: .003140 gr.
Adjustment: ($35.00 - $21.81) x .003140 x 18,000 = $745.50 Boeing owes Tri-Star
RHODIUM PRICE NO CHARGE
Current month weighted average price: $33.50/gr.
Base price: $21.81/gr.
Or
Current month weighted average price: $7.25/gr.
Base price: $21.81/gr.
Adjustment: Current prices in the above two scenarios are neither above
$35.00/gr. nor below $6.62/gr. therefore, no price adjustment.
RHODIUM PRICE DECREASE
Current month weighted average price: $4.25/gr.
Base price: $21.81/gr.
Part deliveries: BACC47CN3 = 18,000
Rhodium content: .003140 gr.
Adjustment: ($4.25 - $21.81) x .003140 x 18,000 = -$992.49 Tri-Star owes Boeing

adjustments for the gold plated electrical contacts. The amount of gold in

The base price of gold shall be $320 per xxxx ounce with a ceiling price of
$425/xxxx oz. and a floor price of $215. Adjustments will be made when the
price of gold extends beyond the ceiling or floor and will be adjusted from
the base price. The following forumula shall be used for price adjustments:
(Monthly weighted average gold price - base gold price) x gold content
(xxxx oz.) x quantity of electrical contacts delivered in the referenced
quarter.
A resulting positive number indicates that Boeing owes Tri-Star, while a
resulting negative number indicates that Tri-Star owes Boeing.
As soon as practical after each quarter delivery date (March 31, June 30,
September 30, December 31), Supplier will send to Buyer an assertion for the
gold adjustment for that quarter. Documentation provided to Buyer shall
include:
- Part number
- Quantity of parts
- Price adjustments for that part number
- All invoices for gold purchased in the delivery month
- Gold cost used in the adjustment formula
As soon as the data can be verified, Buyer will issue a non-receivable
purchase order for the cost adjustment.
EXAMPLES:
GOLD PRICE INCREASE
Current month weighted average price: $550.00/oz.
Base price: $320/oz.
Part deliveries: BACC47CNIS - 18,000
Gold content: .0000717 oz.
Adjustment: ($550.00 - $320.00) x .0000717 x 18,000 = $296.84 Boeing owes
Tri-Star.
GOLD PRICE NO CHARGE
Current month weighted average price: $395/oz.
Base price: $320/oz..
Or
Current month weighted average price: $225/oz.
Base price: $320/oz.
Adjustment: Current prices in the above two scenarios are neither above
$425/oz. nor below $215/oz. therefore, no price adjustment.
GOLD PRICE DECREASE
Current month weighted average price: $175.00/oz.
Base price: $320/oz.
Part deliveries: BACC47CNIS = 18,000
Gold content: .0000717 oz.
Adjustment: ($175.00 - $320.00) x .0000717 x 18,000 = $187.14 Tri-Star owes
