The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the Securities.
Within 15 days of the Closing Date, Gogo shall cause the Closing Guarantors to enter into a joinder to this Purchase Agreement (this Agreement), substantially in the

(p) During the period of 90 days following the date hereof, none of the Issuers or the Guarantors will, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open put equivalent position within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any debt securities of the Issuers or any Guarantor or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities of the Issuers or any Guarantor (other than as contemplated by this Agreement).
(q) The Issuers will deliver to each Initial Purchaser (or its agent), on the date of execution of this Agreement, one or more properly completed and executed Certifications Regarding Beneficial Owners of Legal Entity Customers,
25
together with copies of identifying documentation, and Issuers undertake to provide such additional supporting documentation as each Initial Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the verification of the foregoing Certification.
(r) On the date each Closing Guarantor executes and delivers the Joinder Agreement, such Closing Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers an opinion of outside counsel for such Closing Guarantor, dated the date of delivery of the Joinder Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.
(s) That all payments to be made by or on behalf of any of the Closing Guarantors hereunder shall be paid free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or charges whatsoever unless the Issuers or Guarantors are required by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges. In that event, the Closing Guarantors shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made, except (i) to the extent that such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, governmental charges or other deductions or withholdings were imposed due to the failure of an Initial Purchaser, upon the request of the Issuers or any Guarantor, to use its reasonable efforts to provide any form, certificate, document or other information that would have reduced or eliminated the withholding or deduction of such taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges, (ii) to the extent such taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges would not have been imposed but for the recipient being a resident of the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, having any other present or former connection with such jurisdiction or having a permanent establishment therein, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no recipient shall be deemed resident of any applicable jurisdiction imposing such taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges, having any other present or former connection with such jurisdiction or having a permanent establishment therein solely as a result of the recipient having executed, performed its obligations under, or received payments pursuant to, or from the enforcement of, this Agreement, or (iii) no additional amounts shall be payable with respect to (x) any U.S. federal, state or local taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges, (y) any taxes, levies, imposts duties or governmental charges payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to a Closing Guarantors obligation to an Initial Purchaser hereunder or (z) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties or governmental charges imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) as of the issue date (or any amended or successor version of such sections that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations promulgated thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices

(b) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuers and the Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 5(d), 5(e), 5(f) and 5(g), counsel for the Issuers and the Guarantors, regulatory counsel for the Issuers and the Guarantors, Delaware counsel for the Issuers and the Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers, with their agreements contained in paragraph (a) above, and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
(c) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants, and agrees with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that:
(i) such Initial Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Issuers or the Guarantors that would permit a public offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required;

(iv) such Initial Purchaser, in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State), has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State it has not made and will not make an offer of Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State, other than:
(A) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(B) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for any such offer; or
(C) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of Securities shall require the Issuers, the Guarantors or any Initial Purchaser to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of the above, the expression an offer of Securities to the public in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for

Terms used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.
Terms used in this Section 7(c) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

(a) Each of the Issuers and the Signing Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees, and upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, each Closing Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of each Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the
29
Issuers, or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuers by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Additional Written Offering Communication or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Issuers and the Guarantors may otherwise have.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (x) each Issuer, each Signing Guarantor, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls an Issuer or any Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (y) upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, each Closing Guarantor, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Closing Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in each case, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors to such Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuers by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Additional Written Offering Communication or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representatives have furnished to the Issuers expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication set forth in Schedule II hereto or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the fourth and seventh paragraphs under the caption Plan of Distribution in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the indemnified party) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the indemnifying party) in writing; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this
30
Section 8. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Issuers, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include any statements as to or any admissions of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
31
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or the Guarantors, or by the Initial Purchasers, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Initial Purchasers respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder as set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto, and not joint.
(e) The Issuers and the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
32
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuers and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, any affiliate of any Initial Purchaser or any of their respective officers or directors or by or on behalf of the Issuers or the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any person controlling any Issuer or Guarantor and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9. Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Issuers, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Global Select Market; (ii) trading of any securities of Gogo shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over the counter market; (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred; (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities; or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified
33
by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-eleventh of such aggregate principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuers for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or of the Issuers or any Guarantors except that the provisions of Sections 6(g), 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 10. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.
11. Reimbursement of the Expenses of the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 9 or because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuers to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Issuers shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Issuers will reimburse the Initial Purchasers, severally, for all out of pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
12. Certain Agreements of the Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser hereby represents and agrees that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities other than (i) the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum; (ii) any written communication that contains either (a) no issuer information (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) or (b) issuer information that was included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum; (iii) any written communication listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 6(c) above (including any electronic road show); (iv) any written communication prepared by such Initial Purchaser and approved by Gogo and the Representatives in advance in writing; or (v) any written communication relating to or that contains the preliminary or final terms of the Securities and/or other information that was included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.
34
13. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Issuers, the Signing Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, and upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, the Closing Guarantors, with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) The Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Initial Purchasers have acted at arms-length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Issuers, the Guarantors or any other person, (ii) the Initial Purchasers owe the Issuers and the Guarantors only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) if any, (iii) the Initial Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Issuers and the Guarantors, and (iv) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Issuers and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Issuers and the Guarantors waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.
14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

36
the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York, in each case, located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the Specified Courts), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a Related Judgment), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such partys address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court.

(c) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Closing Guarantor hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Initial Purchasers could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of each Closing Guarantor in respect of any sum due from them to any Initial Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Initial Purchaser of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Initial Purchaser may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, each Closing Guarantor agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, such Initial Purchaser agrees to pay to the Closing Guarantors (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder.
