Either party shall be excused from performance of its obligations hereunder, and shall not be liable to the other party for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the other party arising out of a total or partial failure to perform hereunder or delay in such performance, to the extent resulting directly from any event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the delayed party (collectively, “Excusable Delay”), including, without limitation, (i) acts of God, (ii) wars or acts of a public enemy, (iii) acts, failures to act or delays of the Governments of any state or political subdivision or any department or regulatory agency thereof or entity created thereby, including, without limitation, national aviation authorities, (iv) quotas or embargoes, (v) acts of sabotage, (vi) fires, floods or other natural catastrophes, or (vii) strikes, lockouts or other labor stoppages, slowdowns or disputes; provided, however, that such delay is not occasioned by the fault or negligence of the delayed party. Any Excusable Delay shall last only as long as the event remains beyond the control of the delayed party and only to the extent that it is the direct cause of the delay. By way of clarification, and without limiting the foregoing, any act, failure to act or delay described in clause (iii) of this section shall not be an Excusable Delay if and to the extent such act, failure to act or delay results from Aircell’s failure to comply with Exhibit F or any other schedule agreed upon by the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, a delay by any of Aircell’s subcontractors shall not be an Excusable Delay unless the subcontractor itself has experienced an Excusable Delay.

 

  19.2 Recourse. The delayed party shall notify the other party within a reasonable time after it discovers an Excusable Delay has occurred, in writing, specifying the cause of the delay and, to the extent known, estimating the duration of the delay. No delay shall be excused unless such written notice shall have been given as required by this section. If the Excusable Delay lasts in excess of ninety (90) days, the non-delayed party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

 

20. GENERAL

 

  20.1 Independent Contractors. Aircell is an independent contractor of American, and personnel used or supplied by Aircell in performance of this Agreement shall be and remain employees or agents of Aircell and under no circumstances shall be considered employees or agents of American.

  20.2

Use of Subcontractors. Aircell shall provide an initial list of all major subcontractors utilized by Aircell for the manufacture of the ABS Equipment, development of the Software and/or performance of the Services for American’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. After obtaining American’s approval of the initial list, Aircell will obtain American’s prior approval of any and all proposed changes thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. American’s rejection of a subcontractor may result in delivery delays or additional costs, as negotiated by the parties in good faith. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between American and any such subcontractor, and no subcontract shall relieve Aircell of its obligations hereunder should


  the subcontractor fail to perform in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. American shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of any money to any subcontractor. Aircell shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of the Aircell subcontractors, with which Aircell shall have entered into agreements that contain confidentiality provisions at least as protective as those set forth herein. Any breach by an Aircell subcontractor of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by Aircell.

  20.5 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles. Each party agrees to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or related to this Agreement. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days following the commencement of negotiations, each party shall escalate the dispute through the appropriate levels of management, up to and including the level of Chief Executive Officer at Aircell and Vice President-Purchasing or higher at American, until the resolution of the issue is achieved or the respective executives cannot agree to a resolution of the dispute.

  20.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and if so executed in counterparts will be enforceable and effective upon the exchange of executed counterparts or the exchange of facsimile transmissions of executed counterparts.

 

  20.12 Survival. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sections or portions of any sections of this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) that by their express terms survive, or by their nature should survive, expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination.

Executive Summary

Introduction

This service level agreement (SLA) defines the services, primary jobs, responsibilities of each party, the methods of delivery of support services, the process for problem resolution, the limitations of service support levels and the anticipated frequency and measurements (metrics) that will be applied for system performance for the 767-200 Transcon Launch and Additional Fleets. All terms detailed in this Service Level Agreement are minimum service level requirements that were identified for the 767-200 Transcon Launch and apply to Additional Fleets. The measurements determine performance and reliability impact (i.e. whether performance meets, exceeds or falls shorts of system expectations). [***]

Service Objectives

Aircell will provide an end-to-end/turnkey hardware and service solution allowing airline passengers and crew to use personal electronics devices (PC, PDA) to conduct data communications in exactly the same manner as they do on the ground. Aircell will be responsible for the overall architecture and all business/service relationships to ensure seamless operation. The product name that we have initially assigned is Aircell Broadband Service – ABS. Think of it as an airborne Hotspot and Roaming Site, bringing connectivity to virtually all of the traveling public. It should also be pointed out that Aircell intends to design ABS with feature modularity, allowing an airline to offer just those applications they deem most important to their customer base.

Aircell’s goal is to support the same communications standards most demanded on the ground. The ABS aircraft architecture will provide wireless cabin access for virtually all personal electronic devices that are enabled for wireless operation. Applications shall include email, instant messaging, VPN, Internet, and cached Intranet. Wireless distribution of content to a passenger device will follow at a later date and a separate Service Level Agreement will be drafted to address the specifications of that service and network. The following wireless protocols are to be supported: 802.11 a/b/g data Aircell’s design is intended to be modular in nature, so that as new wireless standards gain popularity on the ground, they can be incorporated into the cabin architecture without having to replace the entire system.

Objectives

The purpose of this document is to establish an agreement between American Airlines and Aircell regarding the Aircell Broadband System (ABS). It is Aircell’s responsibility to provide the service and satisfy the objectives defined in this document.

Scope

The scope of services is defined in this document regarding the in-service technical environment, support structure, system performance and the activities required to ensure that the service remains secure, reliable and operational as committed to under the Service Commitments section of the SLA.

Services

Life Cycle Support

Aircell provides support services to AA and its customers throughout a “lifecycle”, which consists of the following phases:

 

   

Consultation Phase: The phase commences with AA completing the service request forms with appropriate signatures and submitting to Aircell to verify that the service is available and that Aircell is prepared to begin installation.

   

Installation Phase: The phase is completed once the equipment is installed on the defined aircraft and the service has been successfully tested providing AA a complete turnkey solution. Upon completion of the installation phase the service can be declared operational.

   

Operational Phase: Operational support of the service includes production support and maintenance:

 

  Maintenance includes ongoing upgrades and patches and fixes of the solution components during the life cycles of the service.

 

  Commercial aspect – Aircell has to track the take rate of the passengers on board. AA will want to monitor the take rate as well

 

  Production support of the solution includes problem management that identifies and addresses the following categories:

 

   

Outage: any defined service is not available during the agreed upon operational period(s).

   

Problem event: a non-outage related issue that may be reported as an error or misbehavior of an expected service.

This document will focus only on the support Aircell will provide AA throughout “operational phase” of the lifecycle.

SERVICES AND PRICING FOR AMERICAN OPERATIONAL USE

Aircell has granted American access to Aircell’s Air to Ground Link (the “ATG Link”) for the purposes of enabling other airline business applications (as defined below). Aircell will work with American to define and implement such other airline business applications as American desires to enable over the ATG Link. As used herein, the term “other airline business applications” means applications used by American’s flight crew, cabin crew and ground crew that require ATG connectivity, and shall not include any passenger-facing application. In the event that American notifies Aircell that it wishes to use the ATG Link for a defined application, American and Aircell 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 Aircell in connection with the application and the rates to be charged by Aircell for such services, (iii) the rates to be charged by Aircell for data transfer services and (iv) such other terms specific to such applications as the parties agree upon. [***] In the event that Aircell and American cannot agree on the amendment to Section 13.5.2, the parties will follow the escalation process outlined in Section 20.5 of the Agreement. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of beginning the escalation process, the parties will mediate the dispute before a neutral mediator.

Aircell 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 Aircell will not be obligated to increase the certification level of the System. If the normal operation of the ABS Equipment would be negatively affected by the integration of any other airline business application, American and Aircell will work together in good faith to ensure that such conflicts are resolved.

In the event that Aircell or AA enter into a contract with a 3rd party for other airline business applications, the contracting party will ensure the 3rd party is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and certifications. Aircell’s and American’s obligations with regard to compliance are outlined in Sections 8.5 and 9.3, respectively, of this Agreement.

The Air to Ground link is available for use only over the continental United States, and will expand to other geographic areas if and as Aircell agrees to expand ABS to other geographic areas. [***].

Aircell 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 Aircell system is highly flexible and can be configured in many different ways to reflect changes in the Internet and/or American’s policies and determinations regarding what constitutes inappropriate content. Aircell 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 Aircell

American chooses to continue to block for pornography and nudity.

American will confirm to Aircell American’s current “do not block” list, and will expect Aircell to adhere to it following migration to the new content filtering system. If Aircell’s service does block a site on AA’s do not block list, AA expect Aircell to rectify the situation quickly, and AA reserve the right to alter the do not block list at any time for no charge.
