| 1.2 | In consideration of the fees set forth in Section 2.3 of Exhibit D, as between the Parties, Gogo is responsible for the acquisition or development, installation and maintenance of all Gogo provided hardware and software specifically required for the provision of the IPTV Services, and monitoring equipment (e.g., a Tektronix box).

Exhibit R Page 1
Amended and Restated Amendment Three (to Unified In-Flight Connectivity Hardware, Services and Maintenance Agreement) |
| 1.4 | American may provision the IPTV Services to its passengers for [***]. American’s sole payment obligations to Gogo for IPTV Services are set forth in Exhibit D, Exhibit R, related SOWs (if any) and amendments to any of the foregoing, regardless of any fee American may charge its passengers for the IPTV Services. |
2. | IPTV Services Term and Termination. |
| 2.1 | The term during which Gogo shall provide the IPTV Services (the “IPTV Term”) began on the Prior IPTV Amendment Effective Date and will continue until [***] for IPTV A/C, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 of the Original Agreement or this Section 2 of Exhibit R. |
| 2.2 | American may terminate the IPTV Services at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever on written notice to Gogo, to be effective no earlier than [***] following the delivery of such written notice to Gogo. |
| 2.3 | Upon any termination of the IPTV Services under this Section 2 of Exhibit R, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and work together in good faith to develop a reasonable plan for the wind-down of the IPTV Services. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of the IPTV Services under this Section 2 of Exhibit R will have no impact on any obligations either Party may have with respect to other portions of the Gogo Services. |
3. | Geofencing. |
| 3.1 | As between the Parties, Gogo is responsible for ensuring that the IPTV Channels are not received, distributed, exhibited or displayed on any IPTV A/C located outside of the continental United States airspace for IPTV A/C departing from or arriving at destinations outside the continental United States (including the District of Columbia) or in airspace that precludes the transmission or receipt of IPTV Services due to applicable laws or regulations (the “Unauthorized Airspace”). The operation of the IPTV Services in order to receive, distribute, exhibit or display the IPTV Channels on IPTV A/C while such IPTV A/C is within the Unauthorized Airspace (“Unauthorized Exhibition”) is not authorized under this Amendment or the Original Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of this section, the reception, distribution, exhibition and/or display of the IPTV Channels on flights flying city-pair routes between destinations within the continental United States (including the District of Columbia) shall be deemed within United States airspace unless such IPTV A/C enters Unauthorized Airspace during the applicable flight. |

4. | IPTV EPG Implementation. |
| 4.1 | Gogo shall ensure that the Portal includes an IPTV EPG that is substantially similar to the user interface illustrated in Figure R-1. The IPTV EPG shall include American Marks at American’s sole discretion. Gogo shall ensure that the IPTV EPG includes a Dish mark at all times, and the size, placement and display of such Dish mark shall remain consistent with the size, placement and display of such mark on the IPTV EPG as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date unless and until a change to size, placement or display of the Dish mark is requested by American in its reasonable discretion and agreed in a MCP executed by the Parties, provided that American represents and warrants it maintains the right to modify the Dish mark as requested. Figure R-1 provides an example of an acceptable use of a Dish mark. As between the Parties, Gogo shall be responsible for the development and implementation of the IPTV EPG as set forth in this Section 4. |
| 4.2 | Upon execution of a related MCP, Gogo shall include proximate to any link or icon included within the Portal where a User can directly access the IPTV EPG, text substantially similar to “Live TV by DISH” provided that the specific design, size, placement and display of such text will be in American’s reasonable discretion, provided that American represents and warrants it maintains the right to incorporate the subject text as proposed in the MCP. |
| 4.3 | Subject to the execution of an MCP therefor, Gogo shall ensure that the IPTV EPG does not automatically direct any User to any IPTV Channel upon launch of the IPTV EPG or direct any User to any IPTV Channel other than the IPTV Channel selected by the User. The IPTV EPG may exhibit and display any and all IPTV content in a partial screen mode or obscure portions of such IPTV content to display: (a) a banner insertion constituting no more than the top 1/8 of the screen displaying only the American name and logo, the remaining flight time and weather conditions for the destination city; (b) messages required by the Federal Aviation Administration; (c) messages pertaining to and appearing during an American crew member’s use of an IPTV A/C’s intercom; (d) any other messages pertaining to the safety of the IPTV A/C, and (e) other content or information agreed by the Parties in writing (collectively, the “Permitted Information”) and/or any User Initiated UI Search.

| 4.4 | In the event that: (i) an IPTV A/C flight itinerary has a departure or an arrival destination outside the continental United States (e.g., a flight from Dallas, Texas to Cancun, Mexico), then Gogo shall ensure that the IPTV EPG, or any screen containing any IPTV Channel, displays a message substantially similar to “Live television no longer available due to the aircraft’s departure from United States airspace” while such IPTV A/C is within the Unauthorized Airspace; and (ii) the IPTV Service is experiencing technical difficulties affecting the display of any IPTV Channel, then Gogo shall ensure that the IPTV EPG, or any screen containing any IPTV Channel, displays a message as agreed to by the Parties in a MCP. |
| 4.5 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Agreement or this Amendment, [***], Gogo shall deploy any and all visual and link changes in the IPTV EPG and portions of the Portal related to the IPTV Services requested by American (including any changes to links, color schemes, graphics, icons, logos, text, and sizes and placements of any of the foregoing) subject to the execution of a MCP by the Parties, which may be a no cost MCP depending on the nature and scope of the work contemplated. |
