You will devote your full time to this employment.

The Bonus Shares will vest in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

For purposes of this vesting schedule, the “Effective Grant Date” will be May 7, 2013, which is the same date grants of shares under the LTIP were made to the broad class of LTIP participants for 2013, with the effect that the Bonus Shares will vest on the same schedule as the shares previously awarded to the broad class of LTIP participants for 2013.

(iii)Number of Shares For purposes of determining the number of shares of stock to be granted in connection with the award described in the foregoing clause (ii), the total dollar value of the award will be divided by an amount equal to the average of the opening value and the closing value of a share of our Class A common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange, as determined on the third trading day after the date on which we publicly announce our earnings for the third fiscal quarter of 2013. The number of shares so determined with respect to each award will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The payment or reimbursement of expenses described in this Section 3(j) are not intended to provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A because all such expenses are to be paid or reimbursed currently and/or will be tax-free.

The right to payment of, or reimbursement for, expenses is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

Without limiting the foregoing, this Section 4 does not limit any rights we may have under any Spirit policies or any agreements with you regarding Confidential Information.

5.Termination Your employment with us will terminate upon the following circumstances:

(a)Without Cause At any time at the election of either you or us for any reason or no reason, without Cause, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement. It is expressly understood that your employment is strictly “at will.”

“Specified Employee” means that, with respect to a corporation any stock in which is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, you are, or are treated under Code Section 409A as, either (A) an officer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1)(A) and Code Section 415(d)), (B) a 5% owner, or (C) a 1% owner having annual compensation from the corporation of more than $150,000. For purposes of determining your percentage ownership, the constructive-ownership rules described in Code Section 416(i)(1)(B) will apply. The determination whether you

are a Specified Employee will be made in accordance with regulations issued under Code Section 409A and other available guidance.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Benefit Plan, we will have no further obligation to you

(a)No Conflicts To the best of your knowledge, you are under no duty (whether contractual, fiduciary or otherwise) that would prevent, restrict or limit you from entering into this Agreement and fully performing all duties and services for us, and the performance of such duties and services will not conflict with another other agreement, policy or obligation by which you are bound.

(b)No Hardship Your experience and/or abilities are such that observance of the covenants in this Agreement will not cause you any undue hardship and will not unreasonably interfere with your ability to earn a livelihood.

8.Clawback Right You acknowledge that certain amounts paid under this Agreement or the Benefit Plans described herein are subject to any Spirit policy on the recovery of compensation (i.e., a so-called “clawback policy”), as it exists now or as later adopted, and as thereafter amended from time to time.

9.Mediation

(a)General Obligation to Mediate Except as provided in this Agreement, prior to initiating any legal action, the parties agree to submit all unsettled claims, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including but not limited to any claim that this Agreement or any of its provisions is invalid, illegal, or otherwise voidable or void) or the dealings or relationship between them (“Disputes”) to mediation in Wichita, Kansas, in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration

Association currently in effect. The mediation will be private, confidential, voluntary, and nonbinding. Either party may withdraw from the mediation at any time before signing a settlement agreement by giving written notice to the other party and the mediator.

If such court cannot so substitute or declines to do so substitute for such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision (i) such provision will be fully severable; (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. The covenants in this Agreement will each be construed to be a separate agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of yours against us, predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by us of any covenants in this Agreement.

(h)Entire Agreement This Agreement (together with the documents expressly referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, supersedes in all respects any prior agreement between you and us, and may not be changed except by written instrument duly executed by you and us in the same manner as this Agreement.

(i)Compliance with Code Section 409A The amounts payable to you after separation from service under 6(b) (if any) are intended to be exempt from the definition of “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A as amounts payable only in the event of involuntary termination without Cause. To the extent any such amounts constitute “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, then those amounts will be paid to you in equal monthly installments, and payment of such amounts may not be accelerated. This Section 10(i) and the terms of this Agreement are intended to comply with, and will be interpreted and construed in accordance with and in a manner that complies with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent necessary.
