Re:           Gulfstream International Group, Inc. - Exchange of Securities

Dear Sir/Madam:

Reference is made to a Unit Purchase Agreement dated as of January 29, 2010 (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Gulfstream International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) sold to you units of its securities (the “Units”) consisting of (i) one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) warrants to purchase three-quarters of a share of Common Stock (the “Prior Warrants”), at a per Unit purchase price of $1.40 (the “Prior Offering”).

The Company is currently pursuing a preferred stock and warrant private offering (the “Offering”) through ______________, as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), under which the Company will sell and issue to accredited investors and/or qualified institutional buyers (the “Investors”):

(i)           up to an aggregate of $2,500,000 (subject to increase to $4,000,000 at the Company’s sole option) of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 and stated value $10.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”); and

(ii)           Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) as shall be equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”) purchased by each Investor.  The Warrants shall be exercisable into Common Stock at a price of $1.75 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments as set forth therein, for a period of the date of issuance through March 31, 2013.

The foregoing is a summary of certain material terms and conditions of the Offering and not a complete discussion.  Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrant, and the Preferred Shares Certificate of Designations (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), each of which are annexed hereto.

By way of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”), the Company is offering you the opportunity to exchange the Units purchased by you in the Prior Offering for Preferred Shares and Warrants to be issued and sold by the Company in the current Offering.

Through your execution of this Agreement, you acknowledge that and agree to:

1.1           Exchange the Units purchased by you in the Prior Offering for Preferred Shares and Warrants to be issued and sold by the Company in the current Offering.

1.2           Execute each of the applicable Transaction Documents and deliver the same to the Company or the Placement Agent prior to the closing of the Offering.

1.3           Return to the Company the (i) original stock certificate(s) representing the shares of Common Stock; and (ii) original Prior Warrant, each of which was purchased by you in the Prior Offering for cancellation by the Company prior to the closing of the Offering.
 
1.4           The Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities in connection with the transaction documents executed and delivered with respect to the Prior Offering, including, without limitation, the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Prior Warrant, each of which shall be terminated and deemed null and void, ab initio, in any and all respects.

2.5           Governing Law.  This agreement shall be construed, and the legal relations between the Parties determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, thereby precluding any choice of law rules which may direct the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
