        % Senior Note due                     

1. Principal and Interest. BOEING CAPITAL CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of                                          DOLLARS ($            ) on                      (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier redeemed, and to pay interest thereon from                     , or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on                      and                      in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing                     , at the rate of         % per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the      day of          or the      day of          (each “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee under the Indenture, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid on a specified date in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including                     , in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. A “Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by applicable law or regulation to close in the place in which payment on the Notes is required, as the case may be.

The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the issuer maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.

100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date; or

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes:

 

   

the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month; or

 

   

if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Company on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed by the Company.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes:

 

   

the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

 

   

if the Company obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of                     ,                     ,                      and one other treasury dealer selected by the Company, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, which the Company refers to as a “Primary Treasury Dealer,” the Company will substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent, or the Trustee, money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata by the Trustee or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that a partial redemption must be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 principal amount of Notes.]
