WHEREAS, as of the Closing (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), Intelsat will be the owner of the CA Business and Gogo will retain all aspects of its business aviation (BA) business operating under Parts 91 or 135 of 14 CFR and international equivalents as well as charter companies conducting scheduled flight operations departing from executive fixed base operations and private charters operating under 14 CFR Part 121 (the BA Business);
WHEREAS, as part of the BA Business, Gogo is the owner and operator of a proprietary air-to-ground (ATG) cellular network employing the EVDO standard or such successor technology to EVDO made available by Gogo pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the ATG Network) and is developing, and will be the owner and operator of, a next-generation 5G air-to-ground network (the 5G ATG Network); and
WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with, and as a condition to, the Closing, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which Gogo will provide to Intelsat access to certain inflight connectivity services and entertainment services on its ATG Network and, upon the launch of the 5G ATG Network, on its 5G ATG Network (collectively, the ATG Services) in each case for use in connection with the CA Business to provide broadband Internet access service, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein benefitting the Parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. | DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION. |
1.1. | Definitions. Capitalized terms defined in the body of this Agreement hereto are indexed in Appendix I attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein are defined in Appendix I. |
1.2. | Interpretation. The Recitals to this Agreement are incorporated into and shall constitute a part of this Agreement. The captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall have no force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless specified to the contrary, references to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Appendices, or Exhibits mean the particular Articles, Sections, Schedules, Appendices, or Exhibits to this Agreement and references to this Agreement include all Schedules, Appendices, and Exhibits. Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever used in this Agreement: (a) the words include or including shall be construed as incorporating but not limited to or without limitation; (b) the words day and year mean calendar day and calendar year unless otherwise specified; (c) the words hereof, herein, hereby and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the particular provision in which such word appears; (d) the words shall and will have interchangeable meanings; (e) the word or shall have the inclusive meaning commonly associated with and/or; (f) words of any gender include all genders; (g) words using the singular or plural also include the plural or singular, respectively; and (h) references to any law, rule or regulation, or any article, section or other division thereof, shall be deemed to include then-current amendments thereto or any replacement law, rule or regulation thereof. |
2. | NETWORK ACCESS. |
2.1. | Access to ATG Network. Gogo will provide Intelsat and its Affiliates with access to the ATG Network, and Intelsat and its Affiliates may access the ATG Network, for ATG Aircraft on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the launch of the 5G ATG Network and Intelsat being provided with access to the 5G ATG Network for ATG Aircraft as provided in Section 2.7, Gogo will continue to provide the ATG Network during the Term. The ATG Network currently employs the EVDO technology standard and Gogo will continue to provide support for the EVDO standard to Intelsat for so long as the EVDO standard is in commercial use by Gogo. Gogo will provide Intelsat access to any technology that succeeds the EVDO standard as soon as it is commercially available for use by Gogo. Gogo will provide Intelsat with not less than [***] written notice prior to (i) ceasing support for the EVDO standard or (ii) decommissioning the EVDO standard and switching to a successor technology; provided that such notice shall not be provided earlier than the date on which the Dual Mode Aircard is available for use by Intelsat CA Customers (as defined below). |
2.2. | Service Level. Access to the ATG Network will be provided by Gogo on a best efforts basis and, at minimum, in a manner that permits Intelsat and its Affiliates to meet its and their SLA obligations that are in effect as of the Closing with respect to the customers of the CA Business (Intelsat CA Customers). Gogo will retain the right to modify its network management policies, so long as such modifications are consistent with the SLAs between Gogo and Intelsat contemplated by Section 2.3. Gogo maintains the right at any time to take any actions to limit network usage in the aggregate or on a per aircraft basis through traffic management and other reasonable fair use policies such that network usage by Intelsat or its customers ATG Aircraft does not harm the user experience of other aircraft on the ATG Network (any such actions, Network Management Actions); provided, however, that Gogo may not engage in any Network Management Actions that would prioritize Gogo customers over Intelsat CA Customers. To maintain the performance of the ATG Network, usage of such network by Intelsat or its customers ATG Aircraft shall not exceed [***] per month during the Term (the Monthly 4G Cap), provided that Gogo may provide additional network capacity above the Monthly 4G Cap in its sole discretion. If requested by Intelsat prior to launch of the 5G ATG Network, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.5, the Parties shall work in good faith, subject to mutual agreement on pricing and other terms, to allow for the expansion of the Monthly 4G Cap to [***]. |
2
2.3. | Service Level Agreements. |
2.3.1. | Existing Customers. For each existing Intelsat CA Customer as of the Closing, Gogo will (a) provide a service level agreement (SLA), substantially in the form of the existing SLA that the CA Business has with the Intelsat CA Customer as of the Closing, that backstops the CA Business SLA obligations with respect to such Intelsat CA Customer and (b) indemnify Intelsat for any penalties payable by Intelsat to the applicable Intelsat CA Customer arising under the existing SLA that the CA Business has with the Intelsat CA Customer, to the extent such penalties result from any breach by Gogo of its obligations under the relevant SLA (as applied to Gogo under this Agreement); provided, that (i) Gogo shall not be liable for any penalties or damages arising from or relating to third-party hardware or third-party service providers, and (ii) Gogo shall have no indemnification obligations under any new SLA that Intelsat has with respect to any new Intelsat CA Customer. (The obligations in clauses (a) and (b) of the prior sentence are referred to herein collectively as the SLA Obligations.) The existing SLAs with each existing Intelsat CA Customer that are in effect as of the Closing are listed in Schedule 5. For clarity, Gogos SLA Obligations shall extend to any renewals or extensions of SLAs that are in effect as of the Closing with existing Intelsat CA Customers that are entered into during the Term, but any amendment to the terms of SLAs with existing Intelsat CA Customers as of the Closing that is more favorable to a customer in respect of the ATG Services or would increase the ATG Services performance requirements or service level obligations as compared to the terms of the CA Business existing SLA obligations to Intelsat CA Customers as of the Closing, require material modifications to the existing ATG Network infrastructure or cause Gogo to incur costs in excess of fees to be paid, shall be subject to the same commercially reasonable review, comment and amendment procedure as set forth in Section 2.3.2 for new customers. |
2.3.2. | New Customers and Amended SLAs. If Intelsat wishes to enter into a new SLA relating to ATG Network services with a new Intelsat CA Customer following the Closing that is more favorable to a customer in respect of the ATG Services or would increase the ATG Services performance requirements or service level obligations as compared to the terms of the CA Business existing SLA obligations to Intelsat CA Customers as of the Closing, require material modifications to the existing ATG Network infrastructure or cause Gogo to incur costs in excess of fees to be paid, then Intelsat shall give Gogo at least ten (10) Business Days to review and comment on the proposed SLA with such new Intelsat CA Customer (with respect to the ATG Services). If the terms are acceptable to Gogo (to be confirmed by Gogos express written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Gogos SLA Obligations (which shall be limited to clause (a) of Section 2.3.1) shall also extend to such new SLA. If the terms are not acceptable to Gogo (acting reasonably and in good faith) or Gogo does not respond in writing within such ten (10)-Business Day period, the Parties will discuss in good faith reasonable modifications to the proposed terms such that they are acceptable to both Parties. With respect to any such new Intelsat CA Customer SLA, Intelsat and Gogo shall negotiate in good faith to make appropriate modifications to pricing or other terms in this Agreement to accommodate any increased ATG Services performance requirements or service level obligations, any material modifications to the existing ATG Network infrastructure or any material costs incurred by Gogo in excess of fees to be paid. If Intelsat wishes to amend an existing SLA with an existing Intelsat CA Customer or enter into a new SLA |
3
relating to the ATG Services with a new Intelsat CA Customer following the Closing, in each case, that is consistent with or less customer-favorable in each material respect than the terms of the CA Business existing SLA obligations to Intelsat CA Customers as of the Closing, then Gogos SLA Obligations shall extend to such new Intelsat CA Customer or amended SLA so long as Gogos ability to meet the same would not require material modifications to the existing ATG Network infrastructure, or cause Gogo to incur material costs in excess of fees to be paid; provided that, Gogos SLA Obligations shall be limited to clause (a) of Section 2.3.1. If Intelsat wishes to amend an existing SLA or enter into a new SLA with an existing Intelsat CA Customer that is more favorable to such Intelsat CA Customer in respect of the ATG Services than the terms of the CA Business existing SLA obligations to such Intelsat CA Customer, would increase the ATG Services performance requirements or service level obligations as compared to the terms of the CA Business existing SLA obligations to such Intelsat CA Customer, require material modifications to the existing ATG Network infrastructure, or cause Gogo to incur costs in excess of fees to be paid (a Modified SLA), Intelsat may request that Gogo amend the terms of its existing SLA to backstop the Modified SLA and propose commensurate modifications to pricing or other terms in this Agreement, but Gogo will be under no obligation to agree to any such amendment. Intelsat will provide true and complete copies of any new or amended SLA to Gogo within five (5) Business Days following execution. |
2.3.3. | The provisions of this Section 2.3 are based upon Intelsats access to the ATG Network. The Parties will work together in good faith to modify the provisions of each applicable SLA, including both the CA Business SLA obligations with the Intelsat CA Customer and the Gogo/Intelsat SLA that backstops the Intelsat CA Customer SLA, to apply to the 5G ATG Network in accordance with Section 2.7.2. |
2.4. | Customer Support. Intelsat will provide [***] support to the Intelsat CA Customers. Gogo will provide to Intelsat [***] support for the ATG Network and for any hardware or software provided by Gogo hereunder and ATG systems activations and deactivations. A description of the obligations for each level of support is set forth on Schedule 3. Gogo and Intelsat will agree on SLA support provisions for each Intelsat CA Customer reasonably consistent with those in the airline SLAs currently applicable to such Intelsat CA Customer. Gogo will promptly provide Intelsat with reasonable documentation outlining procedures for requesting and receiving support (which procedures shall be materially consistent with those procedures in place prior to the Closing). |
2.5. | ATG Network Use Restrictions. |
2.5.1. | Permitted Use. Intelsats and its Affiliates use of and access to the ATG Network (including all content transmitted via the ATG Network) shall comply with all Applicable Laws and the terms of this Agreement. As between the Parties, Intelsat is solely responsible for: (a) all use or access (whether or not authorized) of the ATG Network by Intelsat CA Customers and their end users (Intelsat End Users), which use shall be deemed Intelsats use for purposes of this Agreement; and (b) all content that is stored or transmitted via the ATG Network by Intelsat, Intelsat CA Customers and Intelsat End Users. For clarity, Intelsat is not responsible for any use or access of the ATG Network by customers of the BA Business. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, Gogo has the right to immediately suspend access of any Intelsat CA Customer or Intelsat End User to the ATG Network for violations under this Section 2.5. Intelsat or its Affiliate shall cause the applicable Intelsat CA Customer or Intelsat End |
4
User to immediately cease using the ATG Network upon notice of suspension. Gogo may continue such suspension until the matter prompting the suspension has been corrected to Gogos reasonable satisfaction. Intelsat and its Affiliates shall use, and require any Intelsat End Users to use, the ATG Network only for lawful purposes and in compliance with any and all Applicable Laws, rules, regulations and/or restrictions of any territory in which Intelsat, Intelsat CA Customers, or any Intelsat End Users use the same or to which it is otherwise subject, including the rules and regulations of the FCC; all United States export control laws; Applicable Laws with respect to patent, copyright, trademark, and any other intellectual property rights; and any Applicable Laws concerning defamation, obscenity, privacy and data protection. Intelsat shall not use the ATG Network, or any portion thereof, in any manner that is likely to cause harm to or interference with any infrastructure of Gogo or a third party. |
2.5.2. | Permitted Restrictions. Gogo may implement reasonable processes to monitor or control use of the ATG Network, and may also impose restrictions to prevent overburdening the ATG Network, consistent with the usage limitations provided in this Agreement, or to prevent Misuse. |
2.5.3. | Misuse. Intelsat shall promptly notify Gogo in the event that Intelsat becomes aware that any Intelsat CA Customer or Intelsat End User has used or is using the ATG Network in an illegal, fraudulent or unauthorized manner, in a manner that violates Applicable Laws or reasonable, written Gogo Policies, or in a manner that has the potential to cause technical or physical damage or harm to the ATG Network (including security risks associated with malicious activity, such as the introduction or promulgation of worms, viruses or other malicious software or programs) (collectively, Misuse). If any such Misuse of the ATG Network by Intelsat CA Customers or Intelsat End Users is discovered, the Parties will work cooperatively and in good faith with one another in resolving any such Misuse, including escalating the issue to each Partys Chief Information Security Officer, or equivalent officer to promptly resolve such Misuse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gogo may immediately suspend or restrict the offending Intelsat CA Customers or Intelsat End Users access to the ATG Network until any and all Misuse has been corrected and cured to Gogos reasonable satisfaction. Gogo may also suspend Intelsats use of the ATG Network if, in connection with Intelsats or an Intelsat End Users use of the ATG Network, Gogo or any of its Affiliates (a) is indicted or charged as a criminal defendant; or (b) becomes the subject of a criminal proceeding or investigation or any other action or threat of action that potentially could result in (i) the revocation, suspension, or loss of any license, ability or right of Gogo to provide the ATG Network to any customer, or (ii) the loss of any customers right or ability to use capacity or services provided to it by Gogo. In addition, Gogo may also suspend Intelsats use of the ATG Network if Intelsat or any Intelsat End User is listed on any compilation by any government of organizations or individuals with which business may not be conducted. |
2.5.4. | Interference; Impairment. Intelsat shall not use, or permit the use of the ATG Network, in a manner that will interfere, permit or cause interference with the ATG Network in such a way as to interfere with or otherwise impair the quality of the ATG Network provided to other customers or end users of Gogo. Upon discovery of any such interference or impairment, Gogo shall promptly notify Intelsat and Intelsat shall promptly cease, or require that such Intelsat CA Customer or Intelsat End User cease, from engaging in such acts or omissions causing or contributing to such interference or impairment. To the extent such interference or impairment continues despite the above, or if the nature of the |
5
improper activity is willful, intentional or unlawful, Gogo shall have the right to immediately suspend access to the ATG Network at the affected Intelsat CA Customer or Intelsat End User, and Gogo shall provide Intelsat with written notification of such suspension thereafter. Intelsat shall assist Gogo in taking all actions necessary to prevent further interference. Gogo shall not be responsible for any interference that Intelsat CA Customers or Intelsat End Users may incur while accessing an ATG Network. Gogo may also immediately suspend Intelsats or its Affiliates use of the ATG Network if any third party is blocking or jamming Intelsats signal and thereby interfering with the use or performance of the ATG Network, until the blocking or jamming and associated interference is resolved to Gogos reasonable satisfaction. |
2.5.5. | Resale Restriction. Intelsat, its Affiliates, and Intelsat CA Customers shall be permitted to provide access to the ATG Network solely in connection with the CA Business and solely to end users on ATG Aircraft. Neither Intelsat, its Affiliates nor any Intelsat CA Customers may offer the ATG Network on a wholesale basis or otherwise resell the ATG Network to any third parties or otherwise provide access to the ATG Network on a stand-alone basis, except as authorized under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit Intelsat from offering the ATG Network to Intelsat CA Customers and Intelsat End Users through one or more of its Affiliates, including through intercompany services agreements entered into by and between Intelsat and any such Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Intelsat may sell data to a third party willing to pay for data consumed on ATG Aircraft where such aircraft are serviced by Intelsat pursuant to an agreement between Intelsat and an airline. The ATG Network is not intended for and shall be not be used for Intelsats own internal business purposes or in connection with the bundling or sale of ATG Network other than as a part of the CA Business. Neither Intelsat, its Affiliates nor any Intelsat CA Customers may otherwise sell, re-sell, grant, license, lease or otherwise offer, share or provide access to the ATG Network to any third party who is not an end user of such Intelsat CA Customer. |
2.6. | Exclusivity. During the Term and so long as Intelsat pays to Gogo at least the applicable Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantees for use of the ATG Network, Gogo grants Intelsat the exclusive right to re-sell the ATG Services into the Commercial Aviation Market in the United States and Canada (the Exclusivity Right). Subject to the terms of Section 5, if Intelsat fails to pay the applicable Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee in any given year during the Term, Intelsat shall forfeit the Exclusivity Right for the remainder of the Term. |
2.7. | 5G ATG Network. |
2.7.1. | 5G ATG Network Launch Date. Gogo will use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the 5G ATG Network by [***], or the earliest practicable date thereafter. The date on which Gogo makes the 5G ATG Network broadly available to Intelsat (functioning in substantially the same geographies as the ATG Network) in substantial conformance with its specifications pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the 5G ATG Network Availability Date. The date on which Gogo first makes the [***] Product and the [***] Product (and any other critical component of the 5G ATG Network that is proprietary to Gogo and is reasonably required for Intelsat to launch service on the 5G ATG Network) commercially available to Intelsat for installation on Intelsat CA Customer aircraft ([***]) shall be referred to herein as the 5G ATG Equipment Availability Date. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the First 5G Rev Share Date shall be the later of (a) the 5G ATG Network Availability Date, and (b) the date that is [***] after the 5G ATG Equipment Availability Date, and (ii) the 5G |
6
ATG Network Launch Date shall be the later of (a) the 5G ATG Network Availability Date, and (b) the date that is [***] after the 5G ATG Equipment Availability Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that it is possible for the First 5G Rev Share Date and the 5G ATG Network Launch Date to occur at the same time, if the 5G ATG Network Availability Date does not occur before the date that is [***]after the 5G ATG Equipment Availability Date. Prior to the 5G ATG Network Availability Date, Gogo shall keep Intelsat reasonably informed with respect to the anticipated timing of the launch of the 5G ATG Network. Gogo shall provide Intelsat with a deployment plan with respect to deployment of the 5G ATG Network no later than [***], and Gogo shall provide Intelsat with periodic updates regarding such deployment leading up to the 5G ATG Network Availability Date. After the first to occur of the First 5G Rev Share Date or the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, Gogo will provide Intelsat with access to the 5G ATG Network, and Intelsat shall have the right to access the 5G ATG Network, for ATG Aircraft on the terms and conditions set forth herein, including that the provisions of Sections 2.2 (Service Level), 2.3 (Service Level Agreements), and 4.2 (5G Hardware) shall also apply to the 5G ATG Network, except as provided in Sections 2.7.2 and 2.7.3 (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.2 relating to the Monthly 4G Cap shall not apply to the 5G ATG Network). |
2.7.2. | Amendment of SLAs for 5G ATG Network. Prior to the first to occur of the First 5G Rev Share Date or the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into amended SLAs between Gogo and Intelsat applicable to the 5G ATG Services. To the extent that the 5G ATG Network, when it becomes commercially operational and available to Intelsat hereunder, supports different SLA criteria than the ATG Network, the Parties will work together in good faith to make appropriate modifications to the amended SLAs, including both the CA Business SLA obligations with the Intelsat CA Customer and the Gogo/Intelsat SLA that backstops the Intelsat CA Customer SLA. |
2.7.3. | Service Level. To maintain the performance of Gogos 5G ATG Network, usage of such network by Intelsat, its Affiliates or its or their customers ATG Aircraft shall not exceed a number of gigabytes per month (the Monthly 5G Cap) during the Term, provided that Gogo may provide additional network capacity above the Monthly 5G Cap in its sole discretion. Given the unknown nature of capacity limitations and expected usage of the 5G ATG Network as of the date of this Agreement, the Parties agree to a backstop Monthly 5G Cap with the understanding that they will negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually agreed Monthly 5G Cap prior to the 5G ATG Network Launch Date. If the Parties are unable to agree on a Monthly 5G Cap prior to the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, the backstop Monthly 5G Cap will be no less than [***] of the then-available capacity of the 5G ATG Network. |
2.7.4. | Customer Support and ATG Network Use Restrictions. All applicable provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 2.4 (Customer Support) and 2.5 (ATG Network Use Restrictions) shall also apply to the 5G ATG Network. |
3. | PRICING FOR NETWORK ACCESS. |
3.1. | Pricing for Pre-5G ATG Network Launch. For each year of the Term between the Closing and the first to occur of the First 5G Rev Share Date or the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, Intelsat shall pay Service Fees in an amount equal to the greater of [***] of Net Annual ATG Service Revenue and the Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee amount of [***]. If applicable, for the |
7
up to [***] period between the First 5G Rev Share Date and the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, Intelsat shall pay prorated Service Fees for the applicable portion of a year to which such [***] period relates, in an amount equal to the greater of [***] of Net Annual ATG Service Revenue and such prorated portion of the Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee amount of [***]; provided that, such time period would be [***] if the 5G ATG Network Availability Date does not occur before [***]. |
3.2. | Pricing for Post-5G ATG Network Launch. For each year of the Term between the 5G ATG Network Launch Date and the end of the Term, Intelsat shall pay to Gogo Service Fees in an amount equal to the greater of (a) [***] of Net Annual ATG Service Revenue and (b) the applicable Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee amount for such year (the Post-5G Pricing Terms). The Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee for the first year following the 5G ATG Network Launch Date shall be [***] and the Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee for the second year following the 5G ATG Network Launch Date shall be [***]. For each year of the Term thereafter, the Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee shall increase by [***]. Assuming that the 5G ATG Network Launch Date takes place in [***], an illustrative schedule of subsequent Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantees is set forth in Schedule 2. The Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee shall be adjusted pro-rata for any partial year (see example of pro-rated payments in Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if (1) the 5G ATG Network Launch Date has not occurred by [***] and (2) the failure to launch the 5G ATG Network by [***] was not primarily caused by a Force Majeure Event or by actions of Intelsat (for which, to the extent Gogo had actual knowledge thereof, Gogo provided Intelsat with (i) notice stating with specificity the actions of Intelsat in question and (ii) reasonable opportunity to cure), third parties or other factors outside of Gogos control, then for the period between [***] and the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, (x) Intelsat shall pay Gogo for the ATG Services an amount equal to [***] of Net Annual ATG Service Revenue, and (y) there shall be no Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee amount. For the avoidance of doubt, despite any such delay, following the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, the Post-5G Pricing Terms shall apply, and the applicable Annual Minimum Revenue Guarantee amount for each year shall be the amount determined as provided above ([***] for the first year following the 5G ATG Network Launch Date, [***] for the second year, then increasing by [***] for each year of the Term thereafter). |
3.3. | Definition of Net Annual Service Revenue. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) Net Annual Service Revenue means the gross service revenue recognized in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) by Intelsat or any of its Affiliates during each year of the Term from the sale of inflight connectivity and entertainment services on aircraft operated by Intelsat CA Customers and (ii) Net Annual ATG Service Revenue means (x) the portion of Net Annual Service Revenue attributable to ATG Services, which for Intelsat CA Customers employing only ATG technology shall be [***] and for Intelsat CA Customers employing both ATG and satellite technologies shall be determined using the [***]. |
3.3.1. | Connectivity Revenue. Except for certain exclusions set forth in Section 3.3.2, all GAAP revenue from in-flight connectivity (IFC) services shall be [***]. |
3.3.2. | Other IFC Revenue. Other GAAP IFC service revenue not included within connectivity revenue in Section 3.3.1 that is classified as sponsorship, charter, or airline-paid usage (permitted use megabytes) shall be allocated [***]. |
3.3.3. | Connected Aircraft Services and Gogo Vision Revenue. All connected aircraft services (CAS) and Gogo Vision service revenue shall be allocated using the same methodology described in Section 3.3.2; provided that, such CAS and Gogo Vision service revenue [***]. |
8
3.3.4. | Deductions. In determining Net Annual ATG Service Revenue, the following amounts shall be deducted: [***]. |
3.3.5. | Changes. In the event that accounting standards or contractual terms change, or other events occur, such that the methodology for calculating Net Annual ATG Service Revenue described in this Section 3.3 ceases to result in a fair and equitable allocation of Intelsats revenue to the ATG Services, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate changes to such methodologies. Circumstances requiring such negotiation could include (a) a change in GAAP and associated accounting treatment (e.g., 606 revenue accounting standard) that materially changes the amount of service revenue recognized but that is not indicative of a business/operational/economic change; or (b) a change in terms in a contract between Intelsat and an Intelsat CA Customer that materially changes the percentage of revenue allocated to ATG Services but is not indicative of a material change in ATG Services usage. In the event a change occurs whereby revenue calculated pursuant to this Section 3.3 can be more directly tracked by specific aircraft or such that allocation methodologies described herein are no longer needed, then either Party may propose a new methodology for revenue calculation to the other Party, which shall be subject to the other Partys consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such other Party shall respond to such proposal reasonably promptly (but in any case within thirty (30) days from receipt of such proposal), and the Parties shall seek to reach agreement on a new methodology (or retaining the existing methodology) as promptly as practicable. |
3.3.6. | Forecasting. To facilitate Gogos planning, Intelsat will provide to Gogo (i) on an annual basis commencing with the second year of the Term, a non-binding, good faith, [***]forecast of Intelsats expected Net Annual ATG Service Revenue and (ii) on a quarterly basis commencing with the second quarter of the Term, in-year non-binding, good faith forecasts by quarter of Intelsats expected Net Annual ATG Service Revenue. In the event that Intelsat becomes aware of circumstances occurring in the first year of the Term that will materially change the forecast prepared by Gogo for such year, e.g., a material change in number of aircraft operated by an Intelsat CA Customer or the termination of a contract between Intelsat and an Intelsat CA Customer, Intelsat will advise Gogo of such change. |

Gogo Completes Sale of Commercial Aviation Business to Intelsat
Financially Stronger Gogo Well Positioned to Drive Growth and Continued Investment in Market-
Leading Business Aviation Products and Services
CHICAGO December 1, 2020 Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO) (Gogo) today announced it has completed the sale of its Commercial Aviation (CA) business to a subsidiary of Intelsat S.A. (OTC: INTEQ) (Intelsat) for $400 million in cash. Gogo will continue as a publicly traded company, now singularly focused on leveraging its ATG network and proprietary spectrum to serve the business aviation market. The proceeds from the transaction significantly strengthen Gogos financial position by reducing its net debt position and enhancing the companys ability to invest in growth opportunities, including Gogo 5G.
The completion of the sale of our CA business to Intelsat marks the beginning of a new chapter for Gogo; we are a leader in business aviation and now turn our singular focus toward serving that attractive market, said Oakleigh Thorne, President and CEO of Gogo. Our business aviation division has proven resilient in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the number of business aircraft online today has nearly returned to January levels.
Looking forward, we see great opportunity to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders, Thorne said. And on behalf of all of us at Gogo, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the talented CA team that joins Intelsat today. The opportunities that await them are a testament to their unwavering dedication and commitment to Gogo and their aviation partners.
Immediately following closing, and after Gogos $53 million semi-annual interest payments in November, Gogo had approximately $460 million in cash-on-hand and net debt of approximately $770 million. As previously disclosed, Gogo intends to undertake a comprehensive refinancing prior to the first call date of its senior secured notes in May 2021 to align its balance sheet with its new business structure, reduce its interest expense, and facilitate the repayment at maturity of Gogos convertible notes, of which $238 million aggregate principal amount are currently outstanding.
Gogo expects to provide an update on its strategic and long-term financial planning process on its fourth quarter earnings call.

Exhibit 99.2
Gogo Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Overview and Basis of Presentation
On December 1, 2020, Gogo Inc. (we, us, our, or the Company) completed the previously announced sale of its Commercial Aviation, or CA, business to Intelsat Aviation AcquisitionCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. (Intelsat or the Buyer), pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement (the Purchase Agreement), dated August 31, 2020 with the Buyer, through the sale of all of the issued and outstanding units of our subsidiaries Gogo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Gogo International Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for a purchase price of $400 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments (the Transaction). The assets and liabilities of the CA business were presented as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Companys Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the results of operations of the CA business were presented as discontinued operations in the Companys Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 9, 2020.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (collectively, the Statements) give effect to the Transaction as if the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2017. The Statements have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which have been filed with the SEC. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020 gives effect to the Transaction as if the Transaction occurred on September 30, 2020. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the Companys results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transaction been completed on the dates assumed and are not necessarily indicative of the Companys future results of operations or financial position.
The Company believes that the adjustments included within the Assets / Liabilities Held for Sale column of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the adjustments included within the Discontinued Operations column of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are consistent with the guidance for assets held for sale and discontinued operations under GAAP. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this report on Form 8-K. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts that existed upon completion of the Transaction.
The Companys historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to present events that are (i) directly attributable to the Transaction, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the Statements, expected to have a continuing impact on the Companys consolidated results following the Transaction.

1. | Pro Forma Adjustments |
The following are the explanations for the adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:
(A) | Adjustments reflect the elimination of the CA assets and liabilities that were determined to be assets or liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2020, as reported in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and resulting net impact on stockholders equity. |
(B) | Adjustments reflect the reclassification to discontinued operations of historical CA revenues and expenses. Interest expense and corporate expenses that were not specifically related to CA have been excluded as such general corporate expenses do not meet the requirements to be presented as discontinued operations. |
(C) | Represents the cash proceeds received at closing in connection with the Transaction, computed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as (i) the $400.0 million purchase price, (ii) plus security deposits of $5.0 million acquired by the Buyer, (iii) less debt-like items and transaction expenses, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, of $9.3 million assumed by the Buyer, and (iv) less the estimated net working capital adjustment, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, of $20.0 million, which is subject to finalization within 90 days following the closing date of the Transaction. Additional cash transferred to and separately paid by the Buyer in the Transaction is not included in this adjustment. |
(D) | Represents estimated transaction costs related primarily to investment banking fees, legal expenses, other professional fees and accelerated payments attributable to the Transaction under commercial agreements specifically related to CA totaling $23.6 million and Transaction bonuses totaling $5.5 million that were unpaid as of September 30, 2020. |
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include adjustments to reflect the non-recurring gain on the Transaction or the related income tax effect. The gain will be included in the Companys results of operations for the three-month period ending December 31, 2020, and the Company does not anticipate any income tax effect as it plans to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to offset the gain on the Transaction.
2. | Transition Services Agreement and Sublease |
In connection with the Transaction, the Company and the Buyer entered into a transition services agreement whereby the Company and the Buyer will provide certain post-closing services to each other on a transitional basis. The Company and the Buyer also entered into a sublease agreement whereby the Company will sublease a portion of its Chicago office space to the Buyer for a period of no longer than one year. No pro forma adjustments have been made in respect of these agreements as the post-closing services will not have a continuing impact on the Companys future results and the sublease expense is immaterial.
