Non-Qualified Stock Option

To:        David L. Calhoun

BEMSID:    [________]

Grant Date:    [________]

As part of its executive compensation program, The Boeing Company (the “Company”) has granted you an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) pursuant to The Boeing Company 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), and the provisions contained herein (this “Notice”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. Your Option is subject to the terms of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Notice and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall control. You are required to accept and acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Option within forty-five (45) days of the date this Notice is delivered to you, through the mechanism and procedures determined by the Company, as a condition to receiving the Option. The terms and conditions of the Option are as follows:

1.Number of Shares Subject to Option. The Option gives you the right to purchase up to [____] shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at the exercise price and on the terms set forth in this Notice.

2.Exercise Price. [120% of Grant Date FMV].

3.    Type of Option. The Option is granted as a non-qualified stock option. Non-qualified stock options are considered ordinary income when exercised and are taxed accordingly. The amount of ordinary income is the difference between the exercise price and the price on the date the Option or a portion of it is exercised.

4.Vesting and Exercisability of Option. The Option will vest in full and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided the Option has not otherwise expired. The Option is granted on the condition that you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

5.Adjustment in Number of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares subject to the Option will be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from any stock split, combination or exchange of Common Stock, consolidation, spin-off or recapitalization of Common Stock, or any similar capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend.

6.Impact of Certain Terminations.

6.1 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement or layoff on or after attaining age 62 with at least one year of service, and provided (in the case of retirement) that you have given the Company sufficient advance notice of your retirement (i.e., 60 days), you will remain eligible to vest in your Option in accordance with Section 4 as though you had continued employment through the Vesting Date.

6.2 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement on or after attaining age 55 with at least ten years of service or under conditions that satisfy the requirements for “retirement” under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate, or due to layoff (in each case, prior to attaining at least age 62 with at least one year of service), the number of shares subject to the Option will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the vesting period (beginning with the first full calendar month after the Grant Date).

6.3 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of death or disability, you will immediately vest in the Option. For purposes of this Award, “disability” means a disability entitling you to benefits under any long-term disability policy sponsored by the Company or a Related Company.

6.4 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason (including for cause and resignation prior to retirement eligibility) other than those reasons described above in this Section 6, the Option and all rights to exercise the Option will immediately be forfeited and canceled.

7.Expiration of Vested Option. As long as you remain employed by the Company or a Related Company, your vested Option will expire after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]).

7.1 If your employment with the Company terminates due to death, disability or layoff, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of five (5) years from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date].

7.2 If your employment with the Company terminates due to retirement, your vested Option will expire after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]). “Retirement” for this purpose means retirement under the conditions that satisfy the requirements for “retirement” under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate. If you are an executive who is not eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan, “retirement” means termination of employment voluntarily by you, after you have attained either (i) age 55 with ten (10) years of service, or (ii) age 62 with one (1) year of service.

7.3 If your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated for cause, your vested Option will expire upon your termination.

7.4 If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than those reasons described above in this Section 7, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of ninety (90) days from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date].

8.Method of Exercise.

8.1 You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state your election to exercise the Option and the number of whole shares for which you are exercising the Option, and by completing such other documents and procedures as may be required by the Company for exercise of the Option. The notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares you are purchasing. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law or the extent prohibited by Section 9, you may make this payment in any one or combination of the following:

(a)    check acceptable to the Company;

(b)    wire transfer;

(c)    tendering by attestation shares of Common Stock you already own that on the day prior to the exercise date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option;

(d)    delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or

(e)    any other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion.

8.2It is your responsibility to be aware of your Option’s expiration date so that you may consider whether or not to exercise the Option before it expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Option’s expiration date the closing price of one share of the Common Stock exceeds the per share Exercise Price, you have not exercised the Option and the Option has not expired, you will be deemed to have exercised the Option on such day with payment made by withholding the shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option. In such event, the Company shall deliver to you the number of shares for which the Option was deemed exercised, less the number of shares required to be withheld for the payment of the total purchase price and required withholding taxes; provided, however, any fractional Share shall be settled in cash, rounded down to the nearest $.01.

9.     Restriction on Sale or Transfer of Shares Acquired Through Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent you exercise all or a portion of this Option while still employed by the Company, you acknowledge and agree that you will not sell or transfer any shares of the Company’s common stock acquired through exercise of this Option until after your employment with the Company has terminated.

10.    Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of any portion of an Option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.

11.    Transferability. The Option is not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime the Option may be exercised only by you, your guardian or your legal representative. The Plan permits exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death. The Option may be exercised only for whole shares, and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Compensation Committee. You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Option in the event of your death, on a Company-approved form, who may exercise the Option after your death.

12.Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.

12.1 This Option and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Option are 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 Option may be subject to clawback and forfeiture (meaning that the Option or proceeds thereof must be promptly returned to the

Company if already exercised, or that you will lose your entitlement to an Option if it has not yet been exercised) 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.

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).
