Dear McKenzie:

Please allow this letter to amend and restate the letter covering the same subject matter previously agreed to between Boeing and FedEx on or about May 28th, 2021.

This letter provides you notice of our intent to exercise all ten (10) of our FY24 Aircraft Options. Furthermore, without waiving any rights under the Purchase Agreement or the Option Aircraft Letter Agreement, this letter also provides you notice of our intent to exercise all ten (10) of our FY25 Aircraft Options. For purposes of this letter, the FY24 and FY25 Aircraft Options shall be referred to, collectively or individually, as the “Aircraft Options” as such Aircraft Options are defined in the Option Aircraft Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Option Aircraft Letter Agreement, [*].

[*]. Because of [*], we propose the following:

| 1. | [*].

| 2. | [*].

| 3. | [*].

| 4. | The additional payments due Boeing as a result of SA16 would be paid within one week of execution of SA16 so as to allow time for internal processing of the payments.

The sequence of events outlined above will allow both parties to remain compliant with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Option Aircraft Letter Agreement and also remain consistent with past practices. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties have also agreed as part of SA16 that: [*]. The FedEx signature block is intended to represent our agreement to the matters set forth in this letter. In order to confirm and memorialize your agreement with the matters set forth in this letter, please sign beneath the FedEx signature block.

* | Blank spaces contained confidential information that has been excluded pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K because it (i) is not material and (ii) would likely cause competitive harm to FedEx if publicly disclosed.

Yours Truly,
