SERVICES AND PRICING FOR AMERICAN OPERATIONAL USE
Gogo has granted American access to Gogos Air to Ground Link and/or the Satellite Link (individually, a Link and collectively, the Links) for the purposes of enabling other airline business applications (as defined below). Gogo will work with American to define and implement such other airline business applications as American desires to enable over either or both Links. As used herein, the term Other Airline Business Applications means applications used by Americans flight crew (other than as described in the following sentence), and ground crew that require connectivity, and shall not include any passenger-facing application or cabin crew operational application. For the avoidance of doubt, Other Airline Business Applications shall not include use by flight crew of Connectivity Services in accordance with and subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.4.3 of the Agreement.
Passenger-facing applications (e.g., IFE) and cabin crew operational applications (e.g., drink ordering) may utilize the in-cabin network and if such passenger applications require an off-board link, the data transfer is subject to the per MB charge outlined in Section 11.4.
In the event that American notifies Gogo that it wishes to use either Link for a defined Other Airline Business Application or passenger facing or cabin crew operational application (other than IFE as to which the terms have been negotiated and are set forth in the Agreement in Exhibit O thereto), American and Gogo will negotiate in good faith and reflect in an amendment to the Agreement (i) the desired operating and performance characteristics of the application, (ii) the integration services to be provided by Gogo in connection with the application, (iii) [***] (iv) such other terms specific to such applications as the parties agree upon.
Gogo will work with American and/or third party providers in good faith to integrate and test, to the extent necessary, other airline business applications on a timely basis and to provide such security as American reasonably requests; provided, however, that Gogo will not be obligated to increase the certification level of the System. If the normal operation of the Equipment would be negatively affected by the integration of any other airline business application, American and Gogo will work together in good faith to ensure that such conflicts are resolved.
In addition to the integration and testing described above, either Gogo or American may develop, independently, jointly or with third parties, other business applications that may be enabled over the link(s), although neither party has any obligation to do so. [***].
Gogo represents and warrants that the Links will have the ability to prioritize data transfer. American and Gogo will work together in good faith to assign priorities that meet Americans business requirements without (except as required for safety or medical emergencies) negatively impacting the passenger connectivity experience or Gogos ability to meet its service level obligations. Gogo will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the delivery of data over the Links are consistent with the agreed-upon priority levels. If the priorities requested by American could impair Gogos ability to meet its obligations under the SLA, Gogo will, upon Americans request, work in good faith with American to revise the SLA; provided, however, that nothing in this Exhibit N or the Agreement will require Gogo to agree to or implement any prioritization of other airline business applications that, in Gogos reasonable judgment, could negatively impact the reputation of the Gogo brand or Gogos ability to meet its obligations under service level agreements with other airlines.

EXHIBIT O
IFE Integration
Gogo agrees to integrate with Third Party IFE Services in the Initial A320 and the Initial Boeing 737 New Deliveries and any Additional Aircraft that has the same IFE in the phases set forth below at no cost to AA.
American agrees and acknowledges that Gogos ability to perform such integration is dependent upon coordination and support from American and Third Party IFE Services providers.
The phases of IFE integration are as follows:
Phase 1 [***].
Phase 2 [***] require connectivity. Gogo will work in good faith with Third Party IFE supplier to ensure that the connectivity system will support the [***].
Phase 3 [***].
Data transferred via the Links, from IFE system, will be subject to a charge as set forth in Section 11.4
Each party (Third Party IFE supplier and Gogo) will utilize separate in-cabin network for cabin distribution of passenger data; however, the Gogo Connectivity System in-cabin network may be utilized for crew related transmissions.
The scope of work for Phases, 2 and 3 items will be based on Connectivity Integration Requirements documents that will be derived from Exhibits P and P-1, with Gogo enabling connectivity to seatback system in coordination with Third Party IFE supplier. Any significant material change beyond the use cases shared by AA, will be negotiated between Gogo and AA.

CONTENT FILTERING SERVICE
Content Filtering. Gogo has developed and will implement and maintain a content filtering system designed to block pornographic and offensive websites from being accessed via the Gogo Broadband Service by Americans passengers. The content filtering system will be available for all Retrofit A/C at Revenue Launch and will be maintained to perform as set forth in Section 5 below, as revised from time to time by mutual agreement of the Parties (the Content Filtering Specifications).
Disclaimers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Content Filtering Specifications, Gogo shall not be required to block any URL if Gogo reasonably believes that such blocking could cause Gogo to violate the Communications Act of 1934, any rule or regulation promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission or any other law, rule or regulation applicable to Gogo or its business. American agrees and acknowledges that American is solely responsible for determining what websites will be blocked and for communicating to Gogo any request for configuration changes intended to block or permit access to particular websites at a future date. Gogo is unable to guarantee that the system will block all content that American deems inappropriate.
Fees. [***].
Term. The terms described in this Exhibit will take effect on the Effective Date and will continue until this Agreement terminates, provided that American continues to pay the monthly fee outlined in the Existing Agreement.
Content Filtering Specifications.
Overview
Gogo will provide a commercial grade content filtering system designed to block unlimited pornographic or other content deemed offensive by American. The system implements policies to control web activity and the applications that are often used to circumvent traditional security engines.
[***]
Blocked Message
When a Gogo user attempts to view a pornographic website, the browser will present a screen that reads: The page you are attempting to view is not available. It is the policy of the airline to prevent potentially inappropriate content from being displayed on your computer or device. Thank you for your understanding.
URL Activity Reporting
Gogo will provide to American, on a monthly basis, a report that shows the websites that were blocked most frequently during the month and details the number of times a given website was blocked.

Websites and content on the Internet are constantly changing. As websites and content are added or removed, the solution will automatically update on a daily basis to reflect such changes. Furthermore, as the Internet changes American may wish to modify its overall blocking strategy or approach. The Gogo system is highly flexible and can be configured in many different ways to reflect changes in the Internet and/or Americans policies and determinations regarding what constitutes inappropriate content. Gogo will continually monitor the effectiveness of the configuration and consult with American in an attempt to optimize both the effectiveness of the filtering and the Gogo user experience.
Conditions requested by American and agreed to by Gogo
American chooses to continue to block for pornography and nudity.

Third Party Infringement Claims
Gogo is aware of the following:
In December 2011, Advanced Media Networks, L.L.C. filed suit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Gogo and an affiliate for allegedly infringing one of its patents and seeking injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages. In April 2012, the plaintiff amended the complaint to name certain Gogo airline customers (not including American) as additional defendants. Based on currently available information, we believe that we have strong defenses and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
In May 2012, Innovatio IP Ventures, LLC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against a number of defendants in a variety of industries for alleged infringement of several patents in the field of wireless local area networking. The defendants included to Gogo airline partners other than American. Such airlines have requested indemnification from Gogo if and to the extent that the claims involve Gogos equipment and/or services (whether Gogo is in fact accused is not clear from the complaints) and Gogo intends to in turn seek indemnification from certain of its equipment suppliers. At this early stage in the litigation we have not been able to assess the merits of the claims.
