4. Add the following as a second paragraph to section 1.02 in Attachment 1 to the 2009 SBP: The Base Price for contract years 2016 though 2018 will be calculated by multiplying the 2012 Base Price by *.

5. Add the following as a third paragraph to section 16.2 (B) of the 2009 SBP: Commencing January 1, 2016, Boeing’s Required Scrap Volume shall be equal to at least * by volume of Boeing’s actual purchased volume of Products during the same calendar quarter. In the event that for more than * (i) the difference between the Metalprices.com scrap price for “6-4 Aero Quality Turnings” and TIMET’s scrap purchase price exceeds * or (ii) the Metalprices.com scrap price for “6-4 Aero Quality Turnings” is above *, Boeing and Seller will engage in commercially reasonable negotiations to reduce the imbalance in a manner such that the value to Seller/Boeing is equivalent to the value that would be received if Boeing were supplying * of its scrap volume at Metalprices.com prices for “6-4 Aero Quality Turnings.”

The necessary parties from TIMET and Boeing (example – BR&T, Procurement, Program Management, R&D, and Commercial) will meet following execution of this First Amendment in order to establish a timeline on or before July 31, 2011 outlining the major milestones required to complete the EBSM Project as soon as commercially reasonable. In order to ensure both parties are meeting obligations to the timeline and that obstacles are identified and overcome in an expedited manner, Boeing and TIMET will meet monthly to review the EBSM Project status against the agreed timeline. The meetings will include review of all elements impacting the EBSM Project, review of previous actions to be completed, and agreement on future actions. If the EBSM Project falls behind the targeted milestones and either party believes that the project cannot be recovered to the original timeline, then senior leadership from each company (EVP Commercial – TIMET, Director Common Commodities – Boeing) will meet within 10 business days with the team to reestablish a mutually agreed expedited timeline for the EBSM Project completion.

Exhibit B

Price Adjustment Formula for annual inflation

The following price adjustment formula shall be calculated for all products The effective price will be calculated every twelve (12) months in the fourth quarter of the current year for application on January 1st of the upcoming year. The annual inflation adjustment will only be applicable when inflation is at, or exceeds, * annually. If inflation is less than * there will be no price adjustment as a result of inflation.

Inflation will be reviewed annually in the forth quarter of each year using Series ID number CUUR0000SA0 (Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers) as published by the Bureau of Labour Statistics to determine the annual inflation adjustment.

The following formula(s) and table will be used to calculate the inflation adjustment (if applicable)

Price eff = Price × IC

“Price eff” means the effective price for the upcoming calendar year. Inclusive of the Base Price, and any applicable inflation adjustment. Effective Price does not include the “Cost Element” Adjustment. The Effective price in any year will become the Base Price in the following year.

“Base Price” means the current annual price (less any adjustments resulting from the “Cost Element Adjustment” for raw materials price adjustments as described in paragraph in SBP Attachment 1 Paragraph 1.03 .

IC    =        Inflationary Component

IC    = *

Where: IC n = Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers” (Series ID CUUR0000SA0) Average Value for the current year n (October n-1 through September n).

And IC n-1 = Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers” (Series ID CUUR0000SA0) Average Value for the prior year n-1 (October n-2 through September n-1).
