	10.7.5
	Should Spirit fail to make any material payments to IAE required as set forth in this Section 10 or should Spirit fail to make any material payments to IAE when due under any other agreement between IAE and Spirit and such amount is not subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties, then, notwithstanding any rights which IAE may have in contract or in law, IAE reserves the right to (a) assess interest on such late payment at the rate of the greater of ***** or the New York Citibank prime rate plus ***** per annum from the date the payment was due to be made until the date such payment is received by IAE, (b) suspend all work on any and all Eligible Engines then currently at the Maintenance Center pursuant to this FHA and/or (c) hold Eligible Engines in IAE’s possession or control.

	10.8.2
	All amounts stated to be payable by Spirit pursuant to this Agreement exclude any value added tax, sales tax or similar such tax.

IAE's liability and Spirit’s remedy under this warranty are limited to the removal of any title defect or, at the election of IAE, to the replacement of the new Parts or components thereof which are defective in title; provided, however, that the rights and remedies of the Parties with respect to patent infringement shall be limited to the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement. 

Spirit warrants that title to Parts removed from Eligible Engines by the Maintenance Center shall pass immediately to IAE free and clear of all security interests and rights of Spirit or others at the time that title to the replacement Part passes to Spirit.
		
	12.3
	THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES TOGETHER WITH THE EXPRESS REMEDIES PROVIDED TO SPIRIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE GIVEN BY IAE IN LIEU OF (A) ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; AND (B) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM, OR REMEDY IN STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY AGAINST OEM OR ITS AFFILIATES, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE, ACTUAL OR IMPUTED (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT), OF IAE OR ITS AFFILIATES, STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, PERMITTED ASSIGNS AND AGENTS.

	13.
	Delays

		
	13.1
	Excusable Delays

IAE shall not be charged with any liability for delay in the performance of any of its obligations when such delay is caused by acts of God or the public enemy, compliance in good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order whether or not it proves to be invalid, fires, riots, labor disputes, unusually severe weather, or any cause beyond the reasonable control of IAE, or by delays of IAE’s suppliers for any of the same or similar causes.  To the extent that such causes actually delay performance on the part of IAE, the time for the performance shall be extended for as many days as are required to obtain removal of such causes. This provision shall not, however, relieve IAE from using its reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes and continue performance with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed (“Excusable Delay”).

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

Exhibit 10.4

If Spirit fails to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 9, and such failure or non-approval, as applicable causes the Maintenance Center to reasonably reschedule or delay the induction or completion of a Shop Visit for an Eligible Engine, then such delay shall constitute an Excusable Delay for IAE.
		
	14.
	Duplicate Benefits

Spirit and IAE agree that it is not the intention to provide duplicate benefits under the terms of this Agreement and the Existing Fleet GTA or under any other arrangement between IAE or IAE’s suppliers or Airbus and Spirit.

Exhibit 10.4

Exhibit I 
FHA Rate Adjustment Tables 
The FHA Rates have been calculated based on Spirit meeting the General Conditions detailed in Section 10.6 of the Agreement. 
To the extent that any operating parameters vary, the applicable charges shall be generated from the rate change tables contained in this Exhibit I.  In the event that Spirit’s actual operating conditions fall between points in the FHA Rate Adjustment Matrices, IAE shall use the Microsoft Excel spreadsheets referenced in Exhibit I hereto to calculate the applicable FHA Rate using linear interpolation (the “FHA Rate Interpolation Tool”).  If the actual utilization parameters fall between two separate tables, the table with the higher factor shall apply.

If any of the actual operating parameters fall outside the coverage of the tables contained in this Exhibit I, the Parties shall agree a rate adjustment based on the same method of calculation used to derive the tables (and not based on simple extrapolation).

GENERAL RELEASE 
I,  B.  Ben Baldanza, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Spirit Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its affiliates, the “Company”), of its material obligations under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2014 (the “Agreement”) (including, without limitation, the grant of the 2014 Retention RSUs (as defined in the Agreement) and the increased severance payments described in the Agreement (the “Special Retention Compensation”)), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and all present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided below.  
1.I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under the Agreement pursuant to the amendments to which this General Release is conditioned represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled.  I understand and agree that I will not receive the Special Retention Compensation unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.  

2.Except as provided in paragraph 4 below, I knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date of this General Release) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my employment with the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or the state or local counterparts of any of the foregoing; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”).   

3.I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

Exhibit 10.1

4.I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release.    

5.In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement, in particular the Special Retention Compensation.  I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims.  I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of the type described in paragraph 2 hereof as of the execution of this General Release.  

6.I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

7.I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Agreement with respect to the amendments to which this General Release is conditioned (including, without limitation, the Special Retention Compensation) if I challenge the validity of this General Release.  I also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and return all payments received by me pursuant to the Agreement.  

8.I agree that this General Release is confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.  

9.Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.  

10.I agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding.  I understand and agree that my cooperation may include, but not be limited to, making myself available to the Company upon

I understand that in the event the Company asks for my cooperation in accordance with this provision, the Company will reimburse me for reasonable travel expenses, including lodging and meals, upon my submission of receipts, and for my time in the event of any unusual or lengthy required period of cooperation.  

11.Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, any rights which I may have as a shareholder of the Company.  

12.Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
