BETWEEN

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER 31 (“Amendment No. 31”) to Special Business Provisions MS ###-###-#### is made as of the last date executed below (the “Effective Date”) by and between Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal office in Wichita, Kansas (“Seller”) and The Boeing Company, a Delaware corporation, acting by and through its division, Boeing Commercial Airplanes (“Boeing”). Hereinafter, Seller and Boeing may be referred to individually as “Party” or jointly as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A.
Boeing and Seller are Parties to the Administrative Agreement (AA) AA ###-###-####, General Terms Agreements (GTA) BCA ###-###-#### and Special Business Provisions (SBP) MS ###-###-####, together with all Amendments thereto (collectively, the “Supply Contract”).

B.
Boeing and Seller herein memorialize (i) a final incurred cost for the 737-8 Rate Tooling, and (ii) a final 737-8 Rate Tooling Incentive payment (“Incentive”), all in accordance with SBP Attachment 27.

C.
For purposes of this Amendment No. 31, “737-8 Rate Tooling” is defined as such Rate Tooling as is necessary to support a build rate of up to [*****] APM for the 737-8, in accordance with SBP Attachment 27.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree to the following:

AGREEMENTS

The 737-8 Rate Tooling list, including Incentive values, is provided within Exhibit A hereto:

b.
Exhibit A to this Amendment No. 31 spreads the costs of the Incentive amount to the costs for each of the 737-8 Rate tools for the adjusted tool costs. The Parties are in agreement that the adjusted tool costs will be the amounts entered by Boeing Tools & Accountability into the Boeing’s Certified Tool Tracking Log (“CTOL”) System upon acceptance of the final Certified Tool Lists (“CTL”) as described in section 6.4.1 of SBP Attachment 27.

c.
The following provisions are further agreed between the Parties:
i.
The Tools listed in Exhibit A as “Pending Tools” are additional Rate Tools needed for the production of the 737-8 airplane supporting a [*****] Airplane Per Month (“APM”) production rate which have not been manufactured as of the Effective Date of this Amendment No. 31. Costs for these tools will not be subject to reimbursement nor incentive payment by Boeing for costs incurred by Spirit. Spirit will submit a zero-cost ($0) CTL to Boeing pursuant to the process guidelines set forth in the Suppliers Tooling Document, D33200-1, upon tool build completion.
ii.
All 737-8 Rate Tooling and Incentive payments for up to [*****] APM are hereby closed in accordance with the requirements of this Amendment No. 31. For purposes of clarity, the payments required from Boeing to Seller under this Amendment No. 31 are separate and apart from those payments required by Section 8 of SBP Attachment 1.
iii.
If additional 737-8 Rate Tooling is needed to support a build rate of up to [*****] APM for the 737-8 beyond that Rate Tooling already identified within this Amendment No. 31, Seller will submit a zero dollar CTL for such additional Rate Tools pursuant to the process guidelines set forth in D33200-1.
iv.
If Product non-conformances result from a defective Seller-procured/fabricated 737-8 Rate Tool, Seller will rework or replace such defective 737-8 Rate Tools at no cost to Boeing and Seller will submit a no cost CTL.
v.
Any changes to the Rate Tooling on the 737-8, directed post Amended Type Certification (“ATC”), will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SBP.
