follow these and such other procedures relating to the Card Service as we may notify you of from time to time. In certain countries additional or different procedures may apply of which we will advise you. 

 

	2.	PROCEDURES FOR CARD ACCEPTANCE

	 	•	 	 the Card bears the signature in the name of the person whose name is embossed on its face

	 	•	 	 Authorization for the Charge has been received 


  

	 	•	 	 the Charge Record is created as described in Section 3 below and is signed by the Cardmember with what appears, after reasonable

	 	•	 	 the Charge Record is created as required in Section 3 below and specifies if the Charge was made by mail, telephone, or automatic ticketing
machine 


  

	 	•	 	 Authorization for the Charge is obtained. 


 C. Extended Payment. Certain of our Cardmembers who have an Extended Payment arrangement with us may request to use when making a purchase for Air Transport (Related Services it may not be
purchased with Extended Payment). You will have no liability if, without your knowledge, a Cardmember incorrectly identifies himself as



 
having Extended Payment with us. You should not ask a Cardmember if he wishes to elect Extended Payment, but if he indicates he does, record the Cardmember’s election by an entry on the
Charge Record and on the Transmission, if you submit electronically. 
 D. Future Technology. If in the future you use
any ticketing or sales method not described in this Agreement, you agree to notify us in advance of implementation so that we can assess its feasibility for Card acceptance and determine what changes to our terms, conditions and procedures, if any,
are needed.

the sale is made and may be submitted to us only in such currency. In Appendix A to this Schedule II are the currencies in which Charges may be made and submitted. We will notify you of any changes to this list. If you begin permitting your

(except as provided in B below). All Authorization requests must meet the Authorization Minimum Data Standards provided by us. If we provide Authorization, we will give you a number which you must indicate on the Charge Record and on the
Transmission, if you submit electronically. “Authorization” simply means you have contacted us and we consent to your proceeding to the next step of the transaction, subject to your complying with all other terms of this Agreement. It is
not a guarantee of payment or that the person making the Charge is the right Cardmember, and it does not cure any failure by you to comply with any part of this Agreement or impair any right to Full Recourse we may have with respect to that Charge.

 B. Electronic Authorization. Where we make it available, you must obtain Authorization electronically for every
Charge using a direct or indirect authorization link between (1) your computer system or other authorization terminal or electronic point of sale device and (2) our credit authorization system The only exception is if there is a
technical access malfunction, in which case you must obtain telephone Authorization as described below for any Charge over ***** (or equivalent). 
 C. Telephone Authorization. Where we do not offer electronic Authorization, or during technical malfunction as described above, or where we agree otherwise in advance in writing, you must obtain
Authorization for every Charge, regardless of amount, by telephoning the respective authorization center we designate around the world. Except where we have toll-free or “free” phone numbers, or calls are required due to a “please
call” response, or “code 10” stolen card message, all such communications are at your expense, provided however, that in the United States we will charge you a fee of ***** (subject to change at Amex’s discretion) for each



 
Authorization request by telephone, and may notify you of a similar charge which you will pay in other areas of the world.

for in-flight Charges permitted under this Agreement. However, within 24 hours after termination of a flight on which Charges have been made, you must get Authorization as described above for each such Charge.

	5.	SUBMITTING CHARGES 

 A.
Charges Must Be Submitted. Charges must be submitted to us (in the country where the Charges were made) and you will not invoice any Cardmember directly for any purchase made with the Card. If you receive payment from a Cardmember for a
purchase made with the Card, you agree to promptly endorse and forward such payment to us. Charges from members of your Carrier Affiliate Group may be submitted to us by you or directly by such members. 

B. Use of Establishment Numbers. We will assign you unique service establishment numbers which you, members of your Carrier
Affiliate Group, and Agents must use as instructed by us for submission of Charges and Credits. 
 C. Frequency. A
Charge must be submitted to us no later than 30 days after the Charge was made, provided that Charges for private charters (i.e. where the Card is being used to pay for all or most of the charter) may not be submitted until the service has been

	 	•	 	 each batch must be accompanied by a Summary Form on which must be prominently indicated the gross amount and number of Charges, the currency,
Carrier’s name, and your assigned service establishment number.





 G. Providing Charge/Credit Records for Past Charges. Whether you submit Charges
and Credits electronically or on magnetic tape or paper, you (and ARC and each APC) should retain all original Charge and Credit Records, or a copy thereof, for a period of at least 24 months from the date the Charge is made or the Credit is issued.
If during this period we request and do not receive the original Charge or Credit Record or a copy within 25 days of your receipt of our request, we will have the right to Full Recourse for the Charge. 

H. Third Party Processors. If you wish to use a processor for obtaining Authorizations or submitting Charges and Credits to us,
such processor must be authorized by us in advance and, in countries where we require it, enter into local standard agreement for this purpose. 
 I. Validity of Charges. By submitting a Charge to us you represent and warrant that (1) it is only for a carrier permitted to participate in the Card Service under this Agreement, (2) it
is the result of a bona fide sale of goods or services to a Cardmember, (3) the amount shown on the Charge Record represents the true value of the goods or services approved by such Cardmember, and (4) it is being sent to us free
and clear of any liens, pledges, claims and encumbrances. Any breach of this provision constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. 
  

	6.	PAYING YOU FOR CHARGES 


a. Mode of Pay. We will pay you electronically or, where we do not offer this service, by check. Where payment is made by check,
in selected countries you may be required to collect your check at a designated Amex location. 
 B. Location and
Frequency. We will pay you for Charges in the country in which you submit such Charges at such local bank account or address as you instruct us in writing in accordance with the Speed of Pay applicable to you there. 

C. Currency of Payment. We will pay you for Charges in the currency in which the Charges were submitted to us, or at our
discretion in U.S. dollars. 
 D. Currency Conversions. Currency conversions we make will be as of the date we process
the item in question or at such other date as we may notify you. Unless required otherwise by law, we will use an exchange rate based on quotes we receive from major financial institutions. 

 

	7.	RECONCILING SUBMISSIONS 

 If our
reconciliation of your submissions 

 


  
 II-4










 Identifies an error (e.g. incorrect calculations, inclusion of another company’s charge records, etc.)
the following procedures will be followed: 
  

	 	•	 	 the adjustments will be calculated in the currency in which the Charges were submitted 



 

	 	•	 	 if monies are due you, we will add the amount to subsequent payments due to you 



 

	 	•	 	 if monies are due to us, we will deduct the amount due from your bank account (if you have an electronic pay arrangement with us) or from payments due
to you, or we will invoice you for it; if you request, we will provide you with substantiating documentation 


  

	8.	REFUNDING CARDMEMBERS: CREDIT 

 A. No Cash Refunds. When a Cardmember is due a refund for a Charge, you will issue a credit promptly to his/her Card account as described below (“Credit”) and not give any cash refunds.

 B. Creating Credit Records. Whether or not you submit Credits electronically, you must create a record of each
Credit using a credit record agreed upon by you and us (“Credit Record”), a copy of which you will give or send to the Cardmember at the time of refund. Credits must be prepared in the currency in which the original Charge was submitted to
us. 
 C. Submitting Credits. A Credit must be submitted to us promptly but no later than 7 days after the Credit
is issued. Credits must be sent via Transmission except where we do not offer electronic submission in which case you may send Credits by magnetic tape or paper. Credit Records sent on paper must be batched by currency and submitted with a separate
Summary of Credits. 
 D. Processing of Credits by Us. Upon receipt of a Credit we will deduct an amount equal to such
Credit, minus the applicable Discount, from your bank account (if you have an electronic pay arrangement with us) or from payments due to you, or we will invoice you for it. 
 E. Conversions by You. If we allow you to do currency conversions for any Charge, such consent must be in advance in writing and any Credit issued with regard to such Charge must be done at the
same exchange rate used for the Charge. 



	9.	DISPUTED CHARGES 

 A.
Responding to Inquiries. If we contact you regarding a claim, complaint or question about any Charge (“Disputed Charge”), you agree to respond to us in writing or electronically within 25 days of your receipt of our request. If by
then you have not fully resolved the Disputed Charge or provided us with a written substantive response which enables us to resolve the Disputed Charge or respond to the Cardmember as required by law, we will have the right to Full Recourse for the
amount in dispute. 
 B. Cardmember Rights under Law. If a Cardmember, despite your reply within or after the 25 day
period, continue to withhold payment for the Disputed Charge and we believe, in good faith, that the Cardmember has the right under applicable law to withhold such payment, then we will have Full Recourse for the amount in dispute. 

C. Disproportionate Disputed Charges. In addition, if we are receiving a disproportionate number of Disputed Charges or Charges
without Authorization due to downtime of your systems, we will have the right to Full Recourse with respect to all such Charges irrespective of the time periods specified above, and we may withhold additional amounts from payments due you as reserve
to protect against future Disputed Charges. 
 D. Delayed Disputed Charges. As a courtesy to you, and without prejudice
to our rights, if a Disputed Charge arises more than 12 months after the Charge was posted to the Cardmember’s account, our normal practice is not to send it to you, unless we believe it may involve any fraud or intentional wrongdoing on your
part or unless you agree to accept it. We reserve the right to change this practice with respect to you if it results in unacceptable losses or customer dissatisfaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the above deadline will not apply where efforts to
investigate or otherwise find a solution to a Disputed Charge began prior to such 12 month period. 
  

	10.	CHARGEBACKS 

 A.
Currency. When we exercise the right to Full Recourse (see Section 6 of main part of this Agreement), the amount charged back to you will be calculated in the currency in which the Charge was submitted. 

B. Cardmember Collections. If you decide to pursue collection from a Cardmember of any Charge for which we exercised Full
Recourse, you agree to do so only if permitted by applicable law and only if the Cardmember has authorized the Charge. If you request, we will provide you such reasonable information or documentation relevant to the Disputed Charge as
permitted by our company policies and applicable law.

	11.	ASSISTANCE RECOVERING CARDS 

 If we request your help recovering or destroying an invalid Card, you agree to do so using reasonable and appropriate steps consistent with our instructions. You may be eligible for a reward if we offer
one in the country in question.

country, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement with respect to it within 30 days, either party will have the option to discontinue Card acceptance in that country on written notice to
the other party of an additional 30 days (except that you may not so discontinue if the changes we offer to our terms are comparable or more favorable to the terms, or changes thereto, offered by other issuers of credit or charge cards you do
business with in that country). If you wish to resume Card acceptance in a country so discontinued, we will review your request and if we agree, we will apply a Discount, Speed of Pay, and mode of pay plan we deem appropriate for such country.




 








 AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT 

GOVERNING ACCEPTANCE OF THE 
 AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD BY AIRLINES 
 This amendment, effective as of
January 1, 2003 (“Effective Date”), amends the agreement (including an addenda, amendments or supplements thereto relating to marketing or advertising funds/programs), between American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.
(“Amex,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (“Carrier,” “you” and “yours”) governing Carrier’s acceptance of American Express Cards (“Agreement”). All
terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. 
  

	 	1.	Section 9A of the Terms and Conditions of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 


A. ***** 
  

***** Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission 








	 	2.	Sections 9A and 9 B of the Operational and Other procedures of he Agreement are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following: 


A. Responding to Inquiries. We will have the right to Full Recourse for a Disputed Charge without first contacting you if we
determine that we have sufficient information to resolve the Disputed Charge in favor of the Cardmember. There may be circumstances under which we contact you prior to exercising our right to Full Recourse for a Disputed Charge. 

If you wish to demonstrate that a Disputed Charge should not have been, or (if we have not already exercised our right to Full Recourse
and instead contacted you) should not be, resolved in favor of the Cardmember, you must provide us with a written response which includes such information as we require. Your written response must be received by us within 25 days of our notice to
you of Full Recourse or (2) if we have not already exercised our right to Full Recourse, our contact regarding the Disputed Charge. If you do not respond to our notification or contact or do not provide the required information within such 25
day timeframe, our original exercise of Full Recourse will remain in effect, or, if we have not already exercised our right to Full Recourse, we shall have the right to exercise our right to Full Recourse for failure to meet such timeframe. If you
respond within the 25 day timeframe, we will make a FINAL determination, based on the information you provide, and the information provided by the Cardmember, whether the Disputed Charge should have been, or should be, resolved in favor of the
Cardmember. If we determine that the Disputed Charge should have been, or should be, resolved in favor of the Cardmember, our original exercise of Full Recourse rights will remain in effect or we shall have the right to exercise those rights. If we
previously exercised our right to Full Recourse and resolve the Disputed Charge in your favor, we shall re-credit you for the amount we previously deducted or invoiced pursuant to the exercise of our right to Full Recourse. 

  
 II-9









 In any case where we exercise our right to Full Recourse, we shall do so by deducting the
amount of the Disputed Charge from payments to you or, if we are unable to do so, by invoicing you for such amount, which invoice you will pay in full upon receipt of our invoice. 

 

	 	3.	Sections 9 C and 9 D of the Operational and Other Procedures of Agreement shall become Sections 9 B and 9 C, respectively. 


 

	 	4.	Effective December 31, 2002, any addendum, supplement, amendment or other instrument relating to marketing or advertising funds/programs [or alternative cash
options] shall terminate. For calendar year 2003, Amex will instead make a cash payment to you, no later then August 1, 2003 in an amount equaling ***** of your 2002 Net Annual Worldwide Volume of Charges. Should the Agreement terminate for any
reason before the end of 2003, you shall immediately reimburse us for the pro rata portion of such cash payment representing the duration of 2003 after such termination, calculated as follows: 


***** 
 Amex shall have no
marketing or advertising fund/program obligation, or cash payment obligation after calendar year 2003. 
  

	 	5.	The following provision is added to the Agreement: 

 Limitation of Liability. In no event will either party hereto be responsible for any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind arising from this
Agreement, including without limitation, lost revenues, loss of profits or loss of business. This Section shall not apply to damages arising from a non-affiliated third party claim for which a party is liable as a result of such party’s
obligation to indemnify the other party hereunder.
