Use of Third Party Technology. In cases where ThinKom licenses third party technology which is incorporated into the Shipsets, ThinKom shall enable Gogo and its customers to use such rights subject to Gogo or its customer agreeing to pay the same royalty fee or license to any third parties for use of their intellectual property integrated into the Shipsets that ThinKom was paying to such third party. Gogo shall pay the third party such applicable royalty/fee under terms and conditions that are at least as good as ThinKom’s. ThinKom shall use its best efforts to identify any use of Third Party Technology in the Product Shipset and communicate the presence of any such Third Party Technology to Gogo on or before the PDR date defined in Schedule 2 (“Milestones”) of this Exhibit. As detailed in Paragraph 16e, ThinKom believes the modem used in the MODMAN includes third party software and ThinKom does not warrant the function of this software.

Radome & Associated Equipment. ThinKom agrees to provide prompt support, via provision of information and/or support personnel with the appropriate expertise, to Gogo as required for the development of a suitable radome and associated equipment (the “Radome”) for the Product. ThinKom agrees to provide, at no additional cost, a commercially reasonable level of support as mutually agreed to by the parties upon acceptance of the Product by Gogo. Should the support requirements exceed such levels, ThinKom will provide such additional support on an hourly basis of [***].

Gogo agrees to work in good faith once the Radome is fully developed to sell or license the Radome to ThinKom at a reasonable and mutually agreeable price in support of any military application opportunities which Gogo is not pursuing directly. Gogo shall make no warranty regarding the suitability of the Radome design for any purpose.

[***] Associated Equipment. ThinKom agrees to provide prompt support, via provision of information and/or support personnel with the appropriate expertise, to Gogo as required for the qualification of a suitable [***], and associated equipment for the Product. Subsequent to selection of a [***] deemed suitable by both parties ThinKom agrees to integrate the [***] with the Product at ThinKom facilities, and certify that it is suitable for use with the Product.

ThinKom agrees to provide this support, at a commercially reasonable level as mutually agreed to by the parties, at no additional cost to Gogo. Should the support requirements exceed such levels, ThinKom will provide such additional support on an hourly basis of [***].

Modem Terms. The parties agree to and acknowledge that the terms of the Reseller Agreement between ThinKom and [***] will apply to the modem related aspects of this Agreement, Shipset and optional Slave Modem, including, but not limited to the following terms:

[***].

ii.

Modem manufacturer, [***], may declare the current modem model ‘obsolete’ upon 90 days notice. Should this happen the parties agree to negotiate in good faith compensation for ThinKom’s costs to incorporate a new modem into the Shipset and/or a ‘buy ahead’ program in which a given number of modems will be purchased in advance of the announced obsolescence.

iii.

Modem manufacturer, [***], may increase the cost of the current modem from time to time. The Parties agree that should [***] increase the cost of the modem, the cost of the Shipset and Slave Modem will be increased, dollar for dollar, to adjust for the increased cost of the modem.

End of Life. ThinKom shall be aware of and proactively monitor all items and material used in the manufacture of Product Units for impending obsolescence issues. ThinKom will provide immediate formal notification to Gogo as soon as a pending obsolescence issue or event is known to ThinKom, describing the obsolete item, reason for obsolescence, estimated date the item will no longer be available, and any proposed alternatives. Timely notification is imperative to allow sufficient time to identify alternates for the affected parts, and perform any necessary certifications, which may involve OEMs and airline regulatory agencies. ThinKom will use diligent efforts to minimize cost and operational impact, including the effects of interchangeability to Gogo and its customers. Gogo may desire to place additional orders for items purchased hereunder. ThinKom shall provide Gogo with a “Last Time Buy Notice” at least twelve (12) months prior to any action to discontinue any LRU purchased under the Agreement.
