3. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:


 


(a) Organization and
Good Standing. The Purchaser is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware.


 


(b) Power and Authority;
Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the
Purchaser in accordance with its terms. The Purchaser has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to perform its obligations hereunder. The Purchaser has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser.


 


(c) Investment Representations.


 


(i) The Purchaser is
an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


(ii) The Purchaser
has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement.


 


(iii) The Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Note involves certain significant risks. The Purchaser acknowledges that there is
a substantial risk that it will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk
of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Note for
the foreseeable future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Purchaser’s present
financial condition is such that the Purchaser is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the
Note purchased hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Purchaser’s overall
commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company
will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(iv) The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Note has not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and is being sold on
the basis of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts. Reliance on such exemptions,
where applicable, is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth herein.
The Purchaser acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Note will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Note is
registered in accordance with federal and state securities laws or the Purchaser finds and complies with an available exemption
under such laws. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate
its investment in the Company.


 


(v) There are substantial
risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has read the information set forth
above regarding certain of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation,
risks arising from the fact that the Company is an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and the Purchaser
is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.


 


(vi) The Purchaser
has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its designated representatives
concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Note, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company
and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to assist the Purchaser in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Note and an investment in the Company.
The Purchaser further represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such
answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase
of the Note and an investment in the Company. The Purchaser is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to
the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects.


 


(vii) The Purchaser
understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating
to the merits of an investment in the Company.


 


(viii) The Purchaser
acknowledges that neither the Company, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates has made any representation
or warranty, express or implied, regarding the Company, the Note or otherwise, other than the representations and warranties set
forth herein.

representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty
or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty,
or covenant.

waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional

For value received,
Global Eagle Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to PAR Investment Partners,
L.P. (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Nineteen Million Dollars ($19,000,000). Interest shall accrue
from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Interest

terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Convertible Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Holder.
This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions.


 


1. Maturity.
The principal amount of this Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Total Loan Obligation”),
shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) December 20 and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below)
(such date, the “Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date occurs and no Event of Default has occurred, then the
Company shall, at its election, on the Maturity Date, either (a) pay to the Holder cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Total
Loan Obligation as of such Maturity Date or (b) issue to the Holder that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Non-Voting
Common Stock as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Total Loan Obligation as of such Maturity Date by (y) a conversion
price equal to $8.5593 per share (the “Conversion Price”) (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
6 below), with any fractional shares paid in cash. If the Maturity Date occurs and an Event of Default has occurred, then the
Company shall, at the Holder’s election (by notice delivered to the Company), on the Maturity Date, either (a) pay to the
Holder cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Loan Obligation as of such Maturity Date or (b) issue to the Holder that
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, in an amount calculated in the manner described in the
preceding sentence.


 


2. Prepayment.
The Company shall have the right to prepay in cash all or any portion of the Note prior to the Maturity Date without penalty or
premium.


 


3. Transferability
of Note. This Note may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part by the Holder without the prior written consent
of the Company.


 


4. Events of
Default. If there shall be an Event of Default, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with any accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable regardless of any prior forbearance and without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company and the Holder may exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to the Holder under applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to collect
from the Company all amounts due under this Note.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


The occurrence of
any one or more of the following events with respect to the Company constitutes an “Event of Default” hereunder:


 


(a) Any
representation, warranty or certification made by or on behalf of the Company in the Purchase Agreement or this Note, or in any
certificate, writing or other document delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to have been incorrect when made;


 


(b) The
Company breaches any covenant or agreement in the Purchase Agreement or this Note, and fails to cure such breach within twenty
(20) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Holder;


 


(c) The
Company fails to pay the principal of this Note or any accrued interest thereon when due, whether at maturity or at a date fixed
by acceleration or otherwise, and fails to cure such breach within five (5) days after such payment was due;


 


(d) The
entry of any judgment or order against the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the businesses
or operations of the Company, taken as a whole, which remains unsatisfied or undischarged and in effect for thirty (30) days after
such entry without a stay of enforcement or execution;


 


(e) The
Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself, (ii) make
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) be dissolved or liquidated, (iv) commence a voluntary case or other
proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of
its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, (v) become unable, admit in writing
its inability, or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any
of the foregoing;


 


(f) Proceedings
for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or an involuntary case or other proceedings
seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not
be dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days of commencement, or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing
shall be entered; or


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(g) The Company shall default
in the payment of any principal, interest or premium, or any observance or performance of any covenants or agreements, with respect
to any indebtedness (excluding trade payables and other indebtedness entered into in the ordinary course of business) in excess
of $100,000 in the aggregate for borrowed money or any obligation which is the substantive equivalent thereof and such default
shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, and if any such indebtedness or obligation shall be declared due and
payable prior to the stated maturity date thereof; or


 


(h) The
Company shall assert in writing that any material provisions of this Note are void or unenforceable.


 


5.
Registration Rights. In the event that the Note converts into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, the Company shall,
within thirty (30) days of the effectiveness of such conversion, prepare and file either (a) a new registration statement (a “New
Resale Registration Statement”) or (b) a post-effective amendment (a “Post-Effective Amendment”)
to that certain registration statement on Form S-3 of the Company (SEC File No. 333-188121) (the “Existing Resale Registration
Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which in either case, (i) provides for the resale of the Common
Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Non-Voting Common Stock in accordance with the Securities Act and (ii) is substantially
similar to (to the extent applicable) and no less favorable to the Purchaser than, the Existing Resale Registration Statement.
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the New Resale Registration Statement or Post-Effective Amendment, as the
case may be, to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after its filing, and in any event within thirty
(30) days after the filing thereof, and to keep such New Resale Registration Statement or the Existing Resale Registration Statement
(as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment), as the case may be, effective under the Securities Act at all times until the expiration
of the Effectiveness Period (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).


 


6. Certain Adjustments.
The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to adjust the Conversion Price as set forth in Section 1 above.


 


a. Stock
Dividends, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Non-Voting Common Stock. If at any time from and after the date
of the issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on the Non-Voting Common Stock in
shares of its capital stock, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock as the case may be, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares
of Non-Voting Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, on the record date for such dividend or the effective
date of such subdivision or split-up, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, the number and kind of shares to be
delivered upon conversion of this Note will be adjusted so that the Holder will be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares
of capital stock that Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event had this Note been converted
immediately prior thereto, and the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (d).


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


b. Extraordinary
Distributions. If at any time from and after the date of issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, the Company shall
distribute to all holders of Non-Voting Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and Non-Voting Common Stock is not changed or exchanged)
cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets (excluding dividends payable in shares of capital stock for which adjustment
is made under paragraph (a) above), or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company, then
in each such case the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be delivered to Holder upon conversion of this Note shall
be increased so that the Holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock determined
by multiplying the number of shares such Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately before such record date by a fraction,
the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price on such record date minus the then fair market value (as reasonably determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other
assets so distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of the Non-Voting Common Stock (provided that
such denominator shall in no event be less than $.01) and the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price.


 


c. Reorganization,
etc. If at any time from and after the date of issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, any consolidation of the Company
with or merger of the Company with or into any other person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving
or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or
from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock) or any sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
to any other person (each, a “Reorganization Event”), shall be effected in such a way that the holders of the
Non-Voting Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, other securities or assets (whether such cash, stock, other securities
or assets are issued or distributed by the Company or another person) with respect to or in exchange for the Non-Voting Common
Stock, then this Note shall automatically become convertible only for the kind and amount of cash, stock, other securities or assets
receivable upon such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of the Non-Voting Common Stock that such holder would
have been entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note had this Note been converted immediately before such Reorganization
Event, subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 6. The Company shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in this paragraph (c) unless effective provision
shall be made so as to give effect to the provisions set forth in this paragraph (c).


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


d. Conversion
Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is adjusted
as provided pursuant to this Section 6, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares
of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note immediately thereafter; provided, however, that the Conversion
Price shall in no event be less than the par value of a share of such Non-Voting Common Stock.


 


e. Notice
of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note or the Conversion
Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, notice
of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
this Note and the Conversion Price after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment
and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.


 


f. Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Note exceed 19.9% of either (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on the date of the Purchase Agreement or (b) the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding on the date of
the Purchase Agreement that are entitled to vote on matters voted on by holders of the Common Stock, unless and until the Company
has obtained the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market for issuances of shares
in excess of such amount.


 


7. Reservation
and Listing of Shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available solely for issuance upon (i) the conversion of the
Total Loan Obligation into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and (ii) the conversion of such shares of Non-Voting Common Stock
into Common Stock, such number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and Common Stock, as applicable, as will from time to time
be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the outstanding Total Loan Obligation, and, if applicable, shall take all action
to increase the authorized number of Non-Voting Common Stock and/or Common Stock, as applicable, if at any time there shall be
insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and/or Common Stock, as applicable, to permit such reservation
or permit the conversion of all of the outstanding Total Loan Obligation. The Company shall take such actions as may be necessary
to list for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market upon their issuance all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of all Non-Voting
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Total Loan Obligation.
