5. Description of Notes. The Notes shall bear interest from the applicable Issuance Date at the rate of 20% per annum;
provided, however, that in the event that the Issuer defaults in any payment of interest or principal on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the portion of the principal or interest for which interest has not been paid when
due or such portion of the principal or interest which has not been paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 25% per annum. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes on a daily basis until such time as the principal
amount is paid off in full in cash in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Interest on each Note shall be compounded annually on each anniversary of the applicable Issuance Date for such Note and, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, shall be added at such time to, and thereafter be a part of and treated as principal of the applicable Notes (regardless of whether evidenced by a Note). The unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in cash on the

Majority Lenders) (the earlier to occur of (a)-(c), the “Maturity Date”). Interest shall be determined in all instances based upon a 365-day year (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) and the actual number of days elapsed,
including the first day but excluding the payment date. 
 Each of the Parties agrees, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns,
that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note issued pursuant to the Original Agreement, (i) each such Note shall be deemed amended to provide that clause (a) of the definition of “Maturity Date” shall be
June 9, 2016, (ii) each such Note shall be deemed amended to provide that the subordination legend be deleted, and (iii) the Issuer shall promptly issue replacement notes, substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A

 If any payment on the Notes
becomes due and payable on a day other than a day on which commercial banks in New York, New York and London, England are open for the transaction of normal business (a “Business Day”), the maturity thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

Additional Note Purchase Agreement and/or the Fourth Note Purchase Agreement shall only be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder if the “Majority Lenders” under the Original Note Purchase Agreement, the Additional Note Purchase

principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.4, Section 8.5 or Section 8.6 hereof occurs,
all outstanding principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations of such Notes and all Fees shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

interest on the Notes or the Fees or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement, and (b) all payments or proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the
application arrangements described in Section 5.3 of the Third Security Agreement. The Issuer shall notify each Lender in writing within two days of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Issuer may require the payment to it of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses in connection therewith.

(ii) has been consented to by each of the Lenders (the “ROFO Parties”), or (iii) complies with the provisions of Section 11.3 below. Any Transfer not in compliance with such provisions shall be null and void. 

11.3 Other than as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 11.2, at no time shall any Lender (for purposes of this Section 11, a
“Selling Lender”) Transfer all or any portion of the Notes held by it (whether now or hereafter acquired) unless such Selling Lender complies with the following provisions: 

(a) In the event that such Selling Lender proposes to Transfer any or all of its Notes (for purposes of this Section 11, the
“Offered Notes”), such Selling Lender shall deliver a written notice of intention to Transfer (an “Offer Notice”) to each other ROFO Party (the ROFO Parties other than the Selling Lender, the “ROFO
Rightholders”) setting forth the amount of Notes proposed to be sold. 
 (b) Upon receipt of an Offer Notice from such Selling
Lender, each ROFO Rightholder shall have the first right to make an offer to purchase any or all of the 







 
Offered Notes; provided that the number of Offered Notes offered to be purchased by such ROFO Rightholder together with any other participating ROFO Rightholders in the aggregate is equal
to or exceeds all (but not less than all) of the Offered Notes (for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the participating ROFO Rightholders in the aggregate fail to offer to purchase all Offered Notes, then the Selling Lender shall be entitled
to sell any or all of the Offered Notes to a third party purchaser at any price). In the event that a ROFO Rightholder shall offer to purchase any or all of the Offered Notes, the ROFO Rightholder shall so notify the Selling Lender in writing, and
such notice shall be irrevocable (such notice, a “ROFO Election”) and cause such ROFO Rightholder an obligation to purchase the number of Offered Notes set forth in such ROFO Election if the Selling Lender accepts such offer to
purchase any or all Offered Notes pursuant to the terms of this Section 11. The ROFO Election shall set forth the price (the “Offer Price”) at which such ROFO Rightholder is willing to purchase any or all of the Offered Notes.
Each ROFO Rightholder that wishes to purchase any or all Offered Notes shall be required to deliver a ROFO Election to the Selling Lender no later than 10 days after receipt of an Offer Notice (the “ROFO Period”). 

(c) The Selling Lender shall have 10 days after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ROFO Period or, (ii) if all ROFO Parties
have delivered a ROFO Election or rejected the option to deliver such election prior to the expiration of the ROFO Period, the day on which the last ROFO Party delivered such ROFO Election or rejected the option to deliver such election, as the case
may be, to accept a ROFO Rightholder’s Offer Price by delivery of notice thereof (an “Acceptance Notice”). If the Selling Lender delivers an Acceptance Notice with regard to any or all Offered Notes, then the Selling Lender and
each ROFO Rightholder to whom the Selling Lender has delivered an Acceptance Notice shall negotiate in good faith to consummate the transaction within 15 days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice. If the Selling Lender does not deliver an
Acceptance Notice with regard to any or all Offered Notes, then the Selling Lender shall have the right to sell any or all of the Offered Notes not included in the Acceptance Notice to any third party purchaser; provided that the terms and
conditions, including with respect to price, of the Transfer of the Offered Notes to such third party purchaser, taken as a whole, shall be as or more favorable to the Selling Lender than the terms and conditions set forth in the original Offer
Notice, including the Offer Price; provided, further, that such sale shall be consummated within 90 days following the day on which the last ROFO Party delivered the ROFO Election or rejected the option to deliver such election. For
the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Selling Lender desires to sell the Offered Notes, or any part thereof, to any third party purchaser at a price lower than the Offer Price, the Selling Lender shall deliver a further Offer Notice to each of
the ROFO Rightholders. 
 (d) If each of the ROFO Rightholders (i) notifies the Selling Lender that they do not wish to submit a ROFO
Election within the ROFO Period, (ii) does not submit a ROFO Election within the ROFO Period or (iii) with respect to a ROFO Rightholder that has received an Acceptance Notice, such ROFO Rightholder does not consummate the transaction
through no fault of the Selling Lender within 15 days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, then the Selling Lender may sell the Offered Notes to any third party at any price. 

(e) The closing of any sale of Offered Notes pursuant to this Section 11 shall take place no later than 15 days following the Acceptance
Notice (or upon the expiration of such longer period if required by law), or such earlier date as may be agreed by the parties to the sale. 







 (f) If more than one ROFO Rightholder submits a ROFO Election under this Section 11, then
each such ROFO Rightholder shall be entitled to purchase up to an amount of Offered Notes equal to the aggregate amount of such Offered Notes multiplied by a fraction (expressed as a percentage rounded to two decimal places), the numerator of which
is the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such ROFO Rightholder and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by all ROFO Rightholders that have submitted a ROFO Election under this Section 11 (such
amount for purposes of this Section 11, the “Participation Amount”); provided that no ROFO Rightholder that has submitted a ROFO Election under this Section 11 may purchase less than its Participation Amount unless
all participating ROFO Rightholders collectively purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Notes. 
 11.4 Subject to the
foregoing, any transferee that receives any interest in a Note pursuant to this Section 11 shall agree in writing with the parties hereto to be bound by, and to comply with, all applicable provisions of the Note and this Agreement in respect of
the Note and such transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Lender” for all purposes herein (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to its right to receive Fees). If any interest in a Note is Transferred in compliance
with this Section 11, such Note shall be cancelled and the Issuer shall execute and deliver a new note (in substantially the form of such Transferred Note) to each Person to whom an interest in such Note has been Transferred (and to the
Transferring holder if such holder retains an interest in such holder’s Note) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Person’s interest in such Note. This Agreement and any rights or obligations hereunder shall not be assigned or
delegated to any Person except in accordance with this Section 11, and any such assignment or delegation not in compliance with the foregoing shall be null and void. 

12. No New Senior Indebtedness. The Issuer may not issue or incur any Senior Indebtedness after the date hereof unless (i) the
Issuer uses the full proceeds of such additional Senior Indebtedness to redeem the Notes (or notes outstanding under the Original Note Purchase Agreement, the Additional Note Purchase Agreement or the Fourth Note Purchase Agreement, as applicable)
in accordance with the redemption mechanism set forth in Section 7.3 above, or (ii) the Majority Lenders consent to such additional Senior Indebtedness. For clarity, this Section 12 applies only to Senior Indebtedness and shall not
restrict or prohibit Issuer from incurring any Indebtedness that is not Senior Indebtedness. 
 13. Security Interest.

as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Third Security Agreement, or for exercising any rights and

9. Section 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Purchase Agreement, the Fourth Note Purchase Agreement or the Fifth Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to their respective redemption mechanisms set forth therein), or (ii) the Majority Lenders consent to such additional Senior Indebtedness. For
clarity, this Section 12 applies only to Senior Indebtedness after Ma7 10, 2013 and shall not restrict or prohibit the Issuer from incurring any Indebtedness that is not Senior Indebtedness. 

10. Schedule A of this Amendment is hereby added as Schedule A to the Agreement. 

11. Exhibit A of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as Exhibit A attached to this Amendment. 

12. Except as expressly amended, modified, waived or noted herein, the Agreement is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms, and this Amendment shall not constitute any Party’s willingness to consent to any other amendment, modification or waiver of the Agreement. The Parties hereby ratify and reaffirm each and every term, covenant and
condition (as expressly modified by this Amendment, to the extent applicable) set forth in the Agreement. No reference to this Amendment needs to be made in any agreement, instrument or document at any time referring to the Agreement in order to
give effect to this Amendment. From and after the date of this Amendment, all references to the Agreement (in any agreements, documents or instruments) shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

5.00% NOTE DUE 2016

ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE:             , 20     

DATE OF ISSUANCE TO HOLDER SET FORTH BELOW:             , 2013 

VIRGIN AMERICA INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), for value received hereby promises to pay to
            (the “Holder”) the principal amount of             ($May 10), together with interest on the unpaid
principal balance from the date of issuance to Holder set forth above at the rate of 5.00% per annum, subject to adjustment. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 of the Amended and
Restated Third Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2011, as amended by that Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Third Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date of issuance to Holder, among the Issuer and the other
parties named therein (as may be further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Such increases in the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any decreases
pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be reflected on Schedule A hereto. Unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in cash on the earliest of (a) June 9, 2016,
(b) the Redemption Date, with respect to all or any portion of the Notes required to be redeemed on such date in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, (c) the occurrence of an Event of Default (provided, however, that
in the case of an Event of Default listed in Section 8.3(b), Section 8.8 or Section 8.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable only upon the written demand of the Majority
Lenders) (the earliest to occur of (a)-(c), the “Maturity Date”). Interest shall be determined in all instances based upon a 365-day year (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) and the actual number of days elapsed including
the first day but excluding the payment date. 

  
 A-1 








 This Note is one of the Notes bearing interest at the rate of 5.00% and due on the Maturity Date
issued under the Note Purchase Agreement and the holder hereof is entitled equally and ratably with the holders of all other Notes outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement to all the benefits provided for thereby or referred to therein.
Reference is hereby made to the Note Purchase Agreement for a statement of such rights and benefits. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement. 

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any amounts payable by Issuer in respect of this Note (including, without limitation, principal
and interest) shall be paid net of any withholding taxes that may be required under applicable law. It is the intention of the parties to the Note Purchase Agreement that accruals of interest, or payments of accrued and unpaid interest under the
terms of the Note Purchase Agreement not be subject to the withholding of any taxes unless required under applicable law. Before withholding any taxes from any such accruals or payments, the Issuer shall consult with tax counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Holder and shall notify the Holder if after consulting such tax counsel, it reasonably determines that withholding is required. If any such accruals or payments to the Holder are subject to withholding tax, the Holder severally
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer for any taxes, additions to tax or interest thereon that may be imposed on the Issuer for any failure to withhold in respect of such accruals or payments other than any interest or additions to tax
that are imposed as a result of the gross negligence of the Issuer. 
 This Note represents the continuing indebtedness of the Issuer with
respect to the Existing Notes issued pursuant to the Original Agreement.
