Re: Amended and Restated Employment Letter
Dear Josh:
Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) is providing you this letter
agreement (this “Agreement”), which amends and restates your prior Offer of
Employment, dated August 4, 2015 (the “Original Offer”), on the following terms:
1.    Position. Your initial title is Executive Vice President—Aviation
Connectivity, and you report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This
position is located in the Washington D.C. area and within a reasonable
commuting distance of Reston, VA. By signing this Agreement, you confirm to the
Company that since the commencement of your employment you have had no
contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from
performing your duties for the Company.
2.    Period of Employment. Subject to Section 9 below, your employment with the
Company commenced on August 4, 2015 and will continue for a period of 2 years
thereafter (the “Employment Period”).
3.    Cash Compensation. The Company pays you a “base” salary at the rate of
$335,000 per year (as may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time in the
discretion of the Company), less applicable withholdings and payroll taxes,
payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. In addition
to the foregoing base salary, subject to achieving certain performance
milestones to be agreed upon in writing between you and your supervisor, you
will be eligible for an annual performance bonus based on the GEE Annual
Incentive Plan as in effect from time to time with a current target bonus at 75%
of your annual base salary provided,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that, final determination of eligibility and payment of all performance bonuses
shall be subject to the complete discretion of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company.
4.    Equity Incentive. In connection with the Original Offer, you were granted
(i) an option to purchase 185,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the
“Option Award”) and (ii) an award of 65,000 restricted stock units (the “Stock
Award”). Both the Option Award and the Stock Award are subject to the terms and
conditions applicable to such awards granted under the Global Eagle
Entertainment Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan as in effect
from time to time (the “Plan”). With respect to your Option Award, 25% of your
option shares will vest after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance
will vest in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months of
continuous service, as described in the Plan. Subject to your continued service
with the Company and the additional terms and conditions of the Plan, your Stock
Award will vest in equal yearly installments with the first increment of 25% of
the Stock Award vesting on the first anniversary of your start date, a second
increment of 25% of the Stock Award vesting on the second anniversary of your
start date, a third increment of 25% of the Stock Award vesting on the third
anniversary of your start date, and the final increment of 25% of the Stock
Award vesting on the fourth anniversary of your start date. Any shares of Common
Stock that you acquire through the exercise of any Option Award or Stock Award
may be subject to certain repurchase rights of the Company, as further set forth
in the Plan. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan) and the termination of your employment with the Company without Cause (as
defined below) within twelve months of such Change of Control, all of the
outstanding unvested options subject to your Option Award and all outstanding
unvested restricted stock units subject to your Stock Award, shall automatically
vest. Additionally, if, during the Employment Period, your employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if you resign for other than
Good Reason, then you will forfeit all your Stock Award to the extent not
previously vested and your Option Award to the extent not vested or exercised.
5.    Severance Pay. If, during the Employment Period, your employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if you resign for other than
Good Reason, then you will only be entitled to receive your base salary through
the date of termination and will not be entitled to any other salary, bonus,
severance, compensation or benefits from the Company or affiliates thereafter,
other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended. If your
employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause during
the Employment Period or you terminate your employment with Good Reason, and,
within twenty- one (21) days of your termination you execute a general release
in favor of the Company, its subsidiaries and their affiliates in the form
provided by the Company and such release becomes effective and is not revoked,
and you comply with the terms of this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive
your base salary and medical benefits for a period equal to twelve (12) months
after the date of termination. Subject to applicable law, the severance payments
payable to you pursuant to this Agreement will be paid over

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the twelve (12) months after the date of termination in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” will
mean (i) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or
the commission of any other act or omission involving misappropriation,

Board and/or the Company’s principal executive officer, (iii) willful misconduct
with respect to the Company or affiliates or in the performance of your duties
hereunder, (iv) obtaining any personal profit not thoroughly disclosed to and
approved by the Board in connection with any transaction entered into by, or on
behalf of, the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, or (v)
materially violating any of the terms of the Company’s, its subsidiaries’ or any
of their affiliates’ rules or policies which, if curable, is not cured to the
Board’s satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to
you, or any other breach of this offer letter or any other agreement between you
and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if curable, is not cured to
the Board’s satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to
you. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) you are
assigned duties and responsibilities materially inconsistent with your position
as set forth in this Agreement, provided that any such assignment of duties (x)
shall only constitute “Good Reason” during the ninety (90) day period following
the date of such assignment (after which it shall be deemed waived by you if
prior thereto you have not exercised your right to resign for “Good Reason”),
(y) shall not constitute “Good Reason” when it is an isolated action not taken
in bad faith and that is remedied promptly after written notice thereof by you
to the Company, and (z) shall not constitute “Good Reason” if you have consented
to the performance thereof, (ii) any breach of a material term of this Agreement
by the Company, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following
written notice to the Company of such breach, (iii) the Company requires you to
relocate to a location that is more than twenty-five (25) miles from the place
of business contemplated by Section 1, unless you consent to such relocation,
(iv) the event of your death or Disability, (v) the Company files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, (vi) the Company reduces your compensation provided in
Section 3 of this Agreement, or (vii) the Company makes a material change in
your reporting relationship provided in the first sentence of Section 1 of this
Agreement. “Disability” shall mean shall mean a long-term disability that
renders or will render you unable to perform your essential job functions for a

The determination of your Disability shall be made by your attending physician
unless the Company reasonably disagrees with such determination, in which case
it shall be determined by a majority of three independent physicians qualified
to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one to be selected by each
of you (or your authorized representative) and the Company and the third to be
selected by such two designated physicians.
6.    Employee Benefits. You will be entitled to receive standard employee
benefits made available by the company to its employees to the full extent of
your eligibility. Details

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of these benefits will be provided to you under separate cover. At present, the
Company offers medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans. The Company shall
reimburse you for all reasonable business expenses actually incurred or paid by
you in the performance of your services on behalf of the Company in accordance
with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy. You will also be entitled to
participate in the Company’s paid time off policy.
7.    Expense Reimbursement. In accordance with the Company’s travel and expense
reimbursement policies, the Company shall reimburse you for all business travel.
The Company will also reimburse other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred
by you in the performance of your services hereunder during the term of your
employment. All reimbursable expenses shall be appropriately documented in
reasonable detail by you upon submission of any request for reimbursement, and
in a format and manner consistent with the Company’s expense reporting policies
and procedures, as well as applicable federal and state tax record-keeping
requirements.
8.    Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of your
employment with the Company, you previously signed the Company’s Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement, and such signed copy is attached hereto as
Attachment A.
9.    Employment Relationship. After the expiration of the Employment Period,
your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or
the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with
or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you
are superseded by this Agreement. This is the full and complete agreement
between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title,
compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and
procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your
employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and
a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you). For purposes of
clarity, your employment will be “at will” after the expiration of the
Employment Period.
10.    Outside Activities. While you render services to the Company, you agree
that you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business
activity without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer. While
you render services to the Company, you also will not assist any person or
entity in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company
or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company.
11.    280G. In the event that a Change in Control of the Company occurs and any
payment to you as a result of such Change in Control would constitute a
parachute payment as defined within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company will either (a) reduce the amount of such
payment so that such payment would not be

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

subject to the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or
alternatively (b) pay the full amount of such payment to you (with you being
personally responsible for payment of any associated excise taxes), whichever
produces the better after-tax result for you.
12.    Withholding Taxes. All forms of compensation referred to in this
Agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll
taxes and other deductions required by law.
13.    Confidentiality. You agree that you will keep the terms and existence of
this Agreement completely confidential and that, except as required by law or
authorized in writing by the Company, you will not disclose any information
concerning this Agreement to anyone other than your immediate family and legal
representatives and tax advisors, who will be informed by you of, and agree to
be bound by, this confidentiality clause before he or she shares such
information. Nothing in this provision shall prevent you from complying with any
administrative agency, directive, court order, subpoena, or other valid legal
process.
14.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any such provision
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
15.    Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles
of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to the requirements of Section 16, in any
action between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (a) each of the
parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction
and venue of the state and federal courts located in the Commonwealth of
Virginia; (b) if any such action is commenced in a state court, then, subject to
applicable law, no party will object to the removal of such action to any
federal court located in the Commonwealth of Virginia; (c) each of the parties
irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury; and (d) each of the parties
irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address on file with the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to any party commencing
any Proceeding, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute
in question before commencing the dispute resolution procedures set forth in
Section 16 or this Section 15.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16.    Arbitration. Except for injunctive or other equitable relief or as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, any dispute arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
be determined by arbitration in the Commonwealth of Virginia, before a single
arbitrator that is independent of the parties and selected in accordance with,
and the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures excluding its optional
Arbitration Appeal procedures. The arbitration hearings shall be confidential.
To the maximum extent permitted by legal requirements, the decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding and not be subject to appeal (but will be
subject to being vacated pursuant to 7511 of the New York Code). Each party will
bear its own fees and expenses. If a party against whom the arbitrator renders
an award fails to abide by such award, the other party may seek to enforce such
award in a court of competent jurisdiction.
17.    No Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no action taken pursuant
to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement. Any term, covenant, agreement, obligation,
undertaking, condition, representation or warranty under this Agreement may be
waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefit thereof, but
only by a written notice signed by such party expressly waiving such term,
covenant, agreement, obligation, undertaking, condition, representation or
warranty. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon
performance of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed
as a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted hereunder or of the future
performance of any such term, covenant or condition. No waiver on the part of
any party of any right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise
of any such right, power or privilege, shall preclude any further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.
18.    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed
or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument
signed by all of the parties hereto.
19.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, and it will not be necessary in making proof
of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement to produce or account for more
than one of such counterparts. All counterparts shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Each party may execute this Agreement via a facsimile (or
transmission of a PDF file) of a counterpart of this Agreement. In addition,
facsimile or PDF signatures of authorized signatories of any party shall be
valid and binding and delivery of a facsimile or PDF signature by any party
shall constitute due execution and delivery of this Agreement.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior
agreements, representations or understandings, whether written, oral or implied,
between you and the Company, including the Original Offer; provided, however,
that this Agreement shall not supersede either party’s obligations as set forth
in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, made and entered into as of August 4, 2015
(the “Merger Agreement”), which obligations shall continue in full force and
effect, including with respect to any earn out amounts that may become payable

Agreement. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the
parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and
obligations respecting the subject matter hereof exclusively in contract
pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the parties

Attachment A
GLOBAL EAGLE ENTERTAINMENT INC.
EMPLOYEE STATEMENT & AGREEMENTS REGARDING
CONFIDENTIALITY, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT
In consideration of and as a condition of my employment and continued employment
with Global Eagle Entertainment Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors
or assigns (together “Global Eagle”), and my receipt of the salary and other
compensation to be paid to me by Global Eagle, I, the undersigned employee, do
hereby agree to the following (this “Agreement”):
1.    PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, COPYRIGHTS, MASK WORKS & INVENTIONS
Global Eagle is an electronics, entertainment and services firm engaged in the
research, development, manufacturing, sale, support and provision of electronic
and communication systems, entertainment content, content logistics and
processing, and components and materials for providing broadband internet, video
and voice services on aircraft (the “Business of Global Eagle”).
The success of Global Eagle depends, among other things, upon strictly
maintaining confidential and secret information relating to its trade secrets,
technology, accounting, costs, research, development, sales, manufacturing,
methods, production, testing, implementation, marketing, financial information,
financial results, products, customers, suppliers, staffing levels, employees,
shareholders, officers and other information peculiarly within the knowledge of
and relating to the Business of Global Eagle, and to which employees may acquire
knowledge or have access to during the course of their employment by Global
Eagle. All such information is hereinafter collectively referred to as
“Proprietary Information.” Proprietary Information shall be broadly defined. It
includes all information, data, trade secrets or know-how that has or could have
commercial value or other utility in the Business of Global Eagle or in which it
contemplates engaging. Proprietary Information also includes all information the
unauthorized disclosure of which is or could be detrimental to the interests of
Global Eagle, whether or not such information is identified as confidential or
proprietary information by Global Eagle.
Notwithstanding the above, Proprietary Information shall not include any
information, data, trade secrets or know-how that (i) I can prove was known by
me prior to the commencement of my employment with Global Eagle or (ii) is or
becomes publicly known from another source that is under no obligation of
confidentiality to Global Eagle without fault on my part. I do not know any

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

information, data, trade secrets or know-how that would be Proprietary
Information but for this provision.
The success of Global Eagle also depends upon the timely disclosure of
inventions made by Global Eagle employees in the course of their employment and,
in appropriate circumstances, the full cooperation of employee inventors in
filing, maintaining and enforcing United States and foreign country patent
applications and patents covering such inventions.
In view of the foregoing and in consideration of my employment by Global Eagle
and as a further condition thereof, I agree as follows:
A.
PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT

I acknowledge that it is the policy of Global Eagle to require that its
employees strictly honor all obligations regarding proprietary information of
former employers. I acknowledge and agree that I have a continuing obligation to
protect and safeguard the proprietary information of my former employer(s), if
any. I agree to read my agreement(s), if any, with my former employers(s) with
respect to proprietary information and to abide by all the terms and conditions
set forth therein.
B.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

I shall use my best efforts to exercise utmost diligence to protect and guard
the Proprietary Information of Global Eagle. Neither during my employment by
Global Eagle nor thereafter shall I, directly or indirectly, use for myself or
another, or disclose to another, any Proprietary Information (whether acquired,
learned, obtained or developed by me alone or in conjunction with others) of
Global Eagle, except as such disclosure or use is (i) required in connection
with my employment with Global Eagle, (ii) consented to in writing by Global
Eagle or (iii) legally required to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena or court
order, and in the case of (iii), disclosure may only be made after I have
informed Global Eagle of such requirement and assisted Global Eagle in taking
reasonable steps to seek a protective order or other appropriate action. I agree
not to remove any materials relating to the work performed at Global Eagle
without the prior written permission of the Board of Directors of Global Eagle.
Upon request by Global Eagle at any time, including the event of my termination
of employment with Global Eagle, I shall promptly deliver to Global Eagle,
without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda,
journals, notebooks, diaries, notes, records, plats, sketches, plans,
specifications, or other documents (including documents on electronic media)
relating directly or indirectly to any Proprietary Information made or compiled
by or delivered or made available to or otherwise obtained by me. Each of the
foregoing

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

obligations shall apply with respect to Proprietary Information of customers,
contractors and others with whom Global Eagle has a business relationship,
learned or acquired by me during the course of my employment by Global Eagle.
The provisions of this section shall continue in full force and effect after my
termination of employment for whatever reason. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) prohibit the employee from
making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any
governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules
promulgated under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section
806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection
provisions of state or federal law or regulation, or (ii) require notification
or prior approval by Global Eagle of any reporting described in clause (i).
C.
COPYRIGHT & MASK WORKS

All rights in and to any copyrightable material (including, but not limited to,
computer programs) or material protectable as a mask work under the
Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984 which I may originate pursuant to or
in connection with the Business of Global Eagle, and which are not expressly
released by Global Eagle in writing, shall be deemed as a work for hire and
shall be the sole and exclusive property of Global Eagle, its successors,
assigns or other legal representatives.
D.
INVENTIONS

With the exception of "EXEMPT" inventions, as defined herein, any and all
inventions, including original works of authorship, concepts, trade secrets,
improvements, developments and discoveries, whether or not patentable or
registrable under copyright or similar laws, which I may conceive or first
reduce to practice (or cause to be conceived or first reduced to practice),
either alone or with others during the period of my employment by Global Eagle
(hereinafter referred to as “Global Eagle Inventions”) shall be the sole and
exclusive property of Global Eagle, its successors, assigns, designees, or other
legal representatives (“Global Eagle Representatives”) and shall be promptly
disclosed to Global Eagle in writing, and I hereby assign to Global Eagle all of
my right, title and interest in such Global Eagle Inventions.
I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Global
Eagle Inventions and their development that I make (solely or jointly with
others) during the period of employment. These records will be in the form of
notes, sketches,

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

drawings, and any other format that may be specified by Global Eagle. The
records will be available to and remain the sole property of Global Eagle at all
times.
I shall, without further compensation or consideration, but at no expense to me:
(a)
Communicate to Global Eagle any facts known by me respecting said Global Eagle
Inventions;

(b)
do all lawful acts, including the execution and delivery of all papers and
proper oaths and the giving of testimony deemed necessary or desirable by Global
Eagle or Global Eagle Representatives, with regard to said Global Eagle
Inventions, for protecting, obtaining, securing rights in, maintaining and
enforcing any and all copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other
intellectual property rights in the United States and throughout the world for
said Global Eagle Inventions, and for perfecting, affirming, recording and
maintaining in Global Eagle and Global Eagle Representatives sole and exclusive
right, title and interest in and to the Global Eagle Inventions, and any
copyrights, Patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights
relating thereto; and

(c)
generally cooperate to the fullest extent in all matters pertaining to said
Global Eagle Inventions, original works of authorship, concepts, trade secrets,
improvements, developments and discoveries, any and all applications,
specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which Global Eagle
shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order
to assign and convey to Global Eagle, its successors, assigns and nominees the
sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Global Eagle
Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto.

An "EXEMPT" invention is one which:
(a)
was developed entirely on my own time without using Global Eagle equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information;

(b)
does not relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
invention to Global Eagle business, or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development; and

(c)
does not result from any work performed by me for Global Eagle.

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inventions which I consider to be "EXEMPT" but made solely or jointly with
others during the term of my employment, shall be disclosed in confidence to
Global Eagle for the purpose of determining such issues as may arise.
I acknowledge and agree that my obligations with respect to the foregoing shall
continue after the termination of my employment with Global Eagle. If Global
Eagle is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other
reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any
United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Global
Eagle Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to Global Eagle as
above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Global Eagle and its duly
authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and
in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of
letters, patents or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force
and effect as if executed by me.
Listed on the attached sheet by descriptive title for purposes of identification
only are all of the inventions made by me (conceived and reduced to practice)
prior to my employment by Global Eagle that I consider to be my property and
excluded from this Agreement.
NOTICE UNDER SECTION 2872
This Agreement has been drafted to be in conformance with Section 2870 of
Article 3.5 (INVENTIONS MADE BY EMPLOYEE) of the Labor Code of the State of
California as amended 1991 and, as required by Section 2872, notification is
hereby given that this Employment Agreement does not apply to an invention which
qualifies as an "EXEMPT" invention under the provisions of Section 2870. Global
Eagle reserves the right to modify Provision D to conform to applicable state or
federal law. Please note that your obligations under this Agreement may change
pursuant to changes in the law of the State of California. California Labor Code
Section 2870 reads as follows:
(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee
shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to
his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed
entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions
that either: (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of
the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the employer; or (2) Result from any work performed
by the employee for the employer, (b) To the extent a provision in an employment
agreement purports to require

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be
assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of
this state and is unenforceable.
2.    NON COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION
I acknowledge and agree that Global Eagle is entitled to protect its legitimate
business interests and investments and prevent me from using my knowledge of its
trade secrets and Proprietary Information to the detriment of Global Eagle. I
also acknowledge that the nature of the business of Global Eagle is such that
the on-going relationship among Global Eagle and its employees, clients and
customers is material and has a significant effect on the ability of Global
Eagle to obtain business. In view of the foregoing and in consideration of my
employment by Global Eagle and as further condition thereof, I agree as follows:
A.
NONCOMPETITION

During the period of my employment, I will use my best efforts, skill and
judgment to promote and advance Global Eagle’s business interests and refrain
from competing, directly or indirectly, with Global Eagle.
B.
NON-SOLICITATION

During the period of my employment and for one (1) year thereafter (the
“Restricted Period”), I will not, without Global Eagle's prior written consent,
directly or indirectly, induce, knowingly solicit or encourage to leave the
employment of Global Eagle, any employee of Global Eagle.
I acknowledge that the limits set forth herein are reasonable and properly
required to adequately protect Global Eagle’s legitimate business interests and
to prevent unfair competition. However, if in any proceeding, a court or
arbitrator shall refuse to enforce this Agreement, whether because the time
limit is too long or because the restrictions contained herein are more
extensive (whether as to geographic area, scope of business or otherwise) than
is necessary to protect the business of Global Eagle, it is expressly understood
and agreed between the parties hereto that this Agreement is deemed modified to
the extent necessary to permit this Agreement to be enforced in any such
proceedings.
3.    ARBITRATION
Except for injunctive or other equitable relief or as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be determined by
arbitration in the Commonwealth of Virginia, before a single arbitrator that is
independent of the parties and selected in accordance with, and the arbitration
shall

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and
Procedures excluding its optional Arbitration Appeal procedures. The arbitration
hearings shall be confidential. To the maximum extent permitted by legal
requirements, the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and not
be subject to appeal (but will be subject to being vacated pursuant to 7511 of
the New York Code). Each party will bear its own fees and expenses. If a party
against whom the arbitrator renders an award fails to abide by such award, the
other party may seek to enforce such award in a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.    GENERAL PROVISIONS
A.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

B.
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between Global
Eagle and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior
discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor
any waiver or any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in
writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in
my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this
Agreement.

C.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the commission of any act
contrary to law. Should there be any conflict between any provisions hereof and
any present or future statute, law, ordinance, regulation, or other
pronouncement having the force of law, the latter shall prevail, but the
provision of this Agreement affected thereby shall be curtailed and limited only
to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirement of the law, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

D.
This Agreement may not be assigned by me without the prior written consent of
Global Eagle. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement will be binding
upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and
will be for the benefit of Global Eagle, its successors, and its assigns.

E.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one or more
provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole
or in part, the remaining provisions or parts thereof shall nevertheless be
binding and enforceable. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
deemed unenforceable, Global Eagle and I agree that a court or an arbitrator
chosen pursuant to the terms hereof shall reform such provision to the extent
necessary to cause it to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Global Eagle and I agree that each desires the court or arbitrator to reform
such provision, and therefore agree that the court or

allow my legal counsel to assist me in the review of this Agreement prior to my
execution of this Agreement. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any
proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent
that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any
agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment by Global Eagle. I have not
entered into, and I agree I will not enter into any oral or written agreements
in conflict herewith.
