Spirit Board Approval. This MOA is subject to approval by Spirit’s board of directors. If, for any reason, Spirit’s board does not approve this MOA in its entirety on or before October 19, 2023, all agreements set forth in this MOA are null and void as if this MOA had never been executed.

Master Schedules. Spirit acknowledges and affirms its obligations as set forth in the Agreements to support its recovery plans and Boeing-issued master schedules, including the associated rate breaks issued in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, and subject to the Excusable Delay provisions of the respective Agreements.

Spirit will demonstrate rate readiness prior to all rate breaks in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, and will submit rate-readiness plans to Boeing that will address Spirit’s plans for staffing, training, supply chain readiness, factory capacity, and other appropriate elements as reasonably requested by Boeing.

Stability Plan. Spirit will create and implement, to Boeing’s satisfaction, an operational stability plan that:

increases staffing (as jointly agreed) in support functions, including engineering, quality, lean, and supply chain;

provides maintenance plans for all major equipment and facilities;

provides work transfer plans (as required by the Agreements) that include key milestones and demonstrate qualified and capable rate performance prior to full reliance on any new supplier; and

provides jointly-coordinated buffer-stock plans (which may include ship in place) for all programs (including two weeks’ worth of finished goods for 737).

The Parties will work in good faith to mutually agree to targets for each of the measures contemplated in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5 by no later than November 17, 2023.

Supply Chain Health. The Parties agree to work together on systemic, rate constraining, and shared supply chain challenges.

20.4 (787) / 28.3 (Sustaining) Assignment

The following language shall apply from October 12, 2023, through December 31, 2030:

Seller shall not assign any of its rights or interest in this Agreement, the SBP, or any Order, or subcontract all or substantially all of its performance of this Agreement, the SBP, or any Order, without Boeing’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Boeing may withhold its consent to an Assignment to a Disqualified Person (as defined below) for any reason and at its sole discretion. Seller shall provide Boeing with thirty (30) days notice prior to any proposed assignment (including any proposed Assignment to a Disqualified Person). Seller shall not delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement; provided that this shall not prohibit Seller from subcontracting as permitted pursuant to the applicable SBP. Seller may assign its right to monies due or to become due. No assignment, delegation or subcontracting by Seller, with or without Boeing’s consent, shall relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the SBP, or Order or prejudice any rights of Boeing against Seller whether arising before or after the date of any assignment. This article does not limit Seller’s ability to purchase standard commercial supplies or raw material.

The prohibition set forth in this GTA Section [20.4/28.3] includes, without limitation (and the following shall be deemed to be Assignments to a Disqualified Person by Seller), in any transaction or series of related transactions: (i) a consolidation or merger of Seller in which a Disqualified Person directly or indirectly holds, immediately after consummation of the transaction, more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting power of the equity securities of the entity resulting from or surviving such transaction; (ii) the acquisition directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Person of either (a) more than 35% of the voting power of the equity securities of Seller or any of its affiliates whose performance is required for the production of the Products or (b) more than 35% of the voting power of the equity securities of any direct or indirect affiliate of Seller holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Seller or any of its affiliates whose performance is required for the production of the Products, in either case for clauses (a) or (b) unless Seller provides and Boeing accepts Seller’s adequate assurance of continuity of supply, which assurance Boeing may accept or reject at its sole discretion; (iii) the sale, lease, assignment or transfer to a Disqualified Person, of either (a) all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or (b) all or substantially all of the assets used by Seller and its affiliates to produce the Products for any particular airplane program; (iv) any assignment of Seller’s rights or interest in this Agreement, the SBP, or any Order to a Disqualified Person, or subcontracting of all or substantially all of Seller’s performance of this Agreement, the SBP, or any Order to a Disqualified Person; and (v) any other transaction pursuant to which a Disqualified Person obtains the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Seller or any of its subsidiaries whose performance is required for the production of the Products.

(iii) a Person, that after giving effect to the transaction, would be the supplier of more than forty percent (40%) by value of the major structural components of any model of Boeing aircraft then in production, unless it is mutually agreed that significant identifiable benefits will accrue to Boeing as a result of the transaction;

For the avoidance of doubt, Boeing and Seller agree that HMSGTA MWS and Supplemental License Agreements WS-001/-002/-003 and -004 may be assigned to the third party receiving assignment of this GTA and its corresponding SBP’s. Any other Supplemental License Agreement between Boeing and Seller will be subject to the assignment terms of HMSGTA MWS.

The 737 Shipset pricing reductions agreed to in Section 11 (“737 Recurring Price”) of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Parties dated October 12, 2023, will be removed upon receipt of the remaining amount; and

Boeing may, at its sole discretion, waive the immediately preceding rights by written notice to Seller and not otherwise.

The following language shall apply beginning January 1, 2031:

Seller shall not assign any of its rights or interest in this Agreement or any Order, or subcontract all or substantially all of its performance of this Agreement or any Order, without Boeing’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Boeing may withhold its consent to an assignment to a Disqualified Person (as defined below) for any reason and at its sole discretion.
