AMENDMENT #2 TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Product and Manufacturing Agreement dated October 3, 2011 between Gogo LLC (“Gogo”) and XipLink, Inc. (“XipLink”), and as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated October 31, 2012 (collectively, the “Agreement”) allows Gogo to purchase XipLinks ‘Disparate Path Bonding (DPB) Software’ for the Gogo internally branded project called, “ATG4+Ku.” Gogo’s ATG4+Ku program has both an ATG4 and Ku solution on a single aircraft allowing for global coverage, and leveraging the lower cost associated with ATG. From a channel bonding standpoint; Gogo is expected to support a smooth, uninterrupted transition of data flow when transitioning from Ku to ATG uplinks.

 

  1. Primary Elements of the ATG4+Ku Program. XipLink is responsible for the following primary elements:

 

   

The current XE and XA(XS) architecture(s) are maintained

 

   

The XA shall manage three paths with two primary path types; ATG and Ku

 

   

The XA must establish the paths with any path being up, and have the associated metrics for 3 paths

 

   

The XA shall balance traffic on the paths via primary methods:

 

  a) Overflow model, with ATG being primary paths and Ku being overflow (target launch method)

 

  b) traditional model, with ATG and Ku being balance using Upper Limit methods

 

  2. Preliminary Technical Specification Document (PTSD); Final Technical Specification Document (FTSD)

 

   

The Preliminary Technical Specification Document (“PTSD”) as drafted by BAL and labeled ‘XipLink ATG4 with Ku v2” will be used as the initial guideline against which XipLink DPB software platform will conform. A final technical specification document (“FTSD”) will be agreed to by Gogo and XipLink prior to contract execution. The FTSD supersedes the PTSD.
