NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Appointment and Acceptance of Depositary; Establishment of Accounts.

Section 1.1. Appointment and Acceptance of Depositary. The Escrow Agent hereby appoints the Depositary, effective as of the date hereof, to have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein on the part of the Depositary. The Depositary hereby agrees to act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith to accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain and safeguard the Deposits and the Accounts (as defined below) during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise transfer moneys held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

Section 1.2. Establishment of Accounts. The Escrow Agent hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the separate deposit accounts in respect of each of the Aircraft listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Deposit Mechanics.

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(Spirit 2017-1 EETC)

Section 2.1. Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the “Deposit Date”) in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to: CITIBANK, N.A., ABA: [ ]; Account Name: Escrow Concentration Account; A/C#.: [ ]: Reference: Spirit 2017-1A INITIAL DEPOSIT ACCOUNT, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$82,366,000. Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I hereto maturing in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) credit each such deposit to the related Account as set forth herein. Each deposit described in the preceding sentence and each re-deposit described in the next succeeding sentence is referred to individually as a “Deposit” and such deposits and re-deposits are referred to collectively as the “Deposits.” Upon receipt of any re-deposit pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, the Depositary shall establish a separate Account for each re-deposit maturing in accordance with this Agreement. No amount shall be deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit, in the case of the amounts and Accounts specified in Schedule I, or the applicable re-deposit, in the case of Accounts established pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 2.2. Interest. Each Deposit shall bear interest on the unwithdrawn amount thereof from and including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal (it being understood that the date of withdrawal in the case of any payment by the Depositary of the amount of the Final Withdrawal (as defined below) on the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) shall be deemed to be the date of such payment) at the rate of 3.650% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), on the date of any Final Withdrawal, on the date of any Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below) or on the date of any Event of Loss Withdrawal (as defined below), as applicable, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Interest Payment Date”, with respect to each Deposit that, as of any date of determination, has not been withdrawn pursuant to a Final Withdrawal, a Replacement Withdrawal or an Event of Loss Withdrawal shall mean each of February 15 and August 15 commencing on August 15, 2018 and ending on the earlier of the February 15 and August 15 immediately following the date on which such Deposit is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as defined below); provided that interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date following the related Purchase Withdrawal, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal or Event of Loss Withdrawal or Amortization Withdrawal with respect to any other Deposit and notwithstanding the fact that the relevant Account may have been closed before such Interest Payment Date, but, if any intervening Replacement Withdrawal occurs before such next Interest Payment Date, such accrued interest shall, instead, be paid on the date of such Replacement Withdrawal. For the avoidance of doubt, no interest shall accrue on any Deposit from the date of withdrawal pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal until the next Interest Payment Date or, if earlier, the date of a Replacement Withdrawal. All interest paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be non-compounding.

Section 2.3. Withdrawals.

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(Spirit 2017-1 EETC)

(a) Purchase Withdrawal. The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least three Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary (or such shorter period as agreed by the Depositary) in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Purchase Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire balance of any Deposit (but not any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (with respect to any Deposit, such withdrawal, the “Purchase Withdrawal”), except that at any time prior to the actual withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by notice to the Depositary, which notice has been actually received by the Depositary prior to such actual withdrawal, cancel such withdrawal (including on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof. Following the Purchase Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York, Miramar, Florida, or Wilmington, Delaware.

(b) Final Withdrawal; Replacement Withdrawal; Event of Loss Withdrawal; Amortization Withdrawal.

(i) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Final Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits together with (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits (excluding the accrued and unpaid interest on each Deposit previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal) to but excluding the specified date of such withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Final Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary on or before the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on the Outside Termination Date. Following the Final Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, the term “Outside Termination Date” shall mean January 31, 2019.

(ii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least five Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) with respect to all Deposits then held by the Depositary, (1) the entire amount of such Deposits together with (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of such Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below) and (y) with respect to all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the date of the applicable Purchase Withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Replacement Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(Spirit 2017-1 EETC)

(iii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal”) in respect of a Deposit, withdraw (x) the entire balance of such Deposit together with (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposit to but excluding the specified date of such withdrawal (with respect to any Deposit, such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Event of Loss Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal. Following such Event of Loss Withdrawal, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account.

(iv) With respect to any Early Delivery Aircraft, if a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal for such Early Delivery Aircraft has not been delivered by the Escrow Agent or, if such Notice has been delivered but the financing for such Early Delivery Aircraft in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement has not occurred, in each case, before August 15, 2018, the Depositary shall release from the Account for such Early Delivery Aircraft an amount of Deposits equal to the principal amortization installment scheduled for payment on August 15, 2018 for such Early Delivery Aircraft as set forth in Schedule I hereto (such withdrawal of such amount for such Early Delivery Aircraft, the “Amortization Withdrawal”), and the Depositary shall pay the amount of Amortization Withdrawal for such Early Delivery Aircraft to the Paying Agent on August 15, 2018. Following such Amortization Withdrawal, the balance of the Deposits in the Account for such Early Delivery Aircraft shall continue to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof and may be withdrawn in accordance with a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, Final Withdrawal or Replacement Withdrawal, as the case may be.

(c) Compliance with Withdrawal Notices. If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, Notice of Final Withdrawal, Notice of Replacement Withdrawal or Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal (each, a “Withdrawal Notice”) complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Depositary be required, pursuant to any Withdrawal Notice or otherwise, to make payments hereunder on or in respect of any Deposit in excess of the amount of such Deposit together with accrued interest thereon as provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.4. Other Accounts. On the date of Purchase Withdrawal of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date.

SECTION 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(Spirit 2017-1 EETC)

Deposits shall have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. Payments. All payments made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the cases of (v) accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof, (w) any Final Withdrawal, (x) any Event of Loss Withdrawal, (y) Amortization Withdrawal or (z) accrued and unpaid interest on all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, which interest is payable pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust, National Association, Wilmington, Delaware, ABA # [ ], Corporate Trust, Account No. [ ], Reference: Spirit Airlines 2017-1A EETC, Attn: Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, or to such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent, (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Escrow Agent as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (iii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits then held by the Depositary together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, as directed by the Escrow Agent as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits howsoever arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions or charges (collectively, “Taxes”). However, if the Depositary shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld (including in respect of additional amounts described below) to the competent taxation authority. If any Taxes imposed by the nation or jurisdiction under which the Depositary is formed or organized (other than the United States), or any political subdivision thereof (other than pursuant to FATCA), are required to be deducted or withheld by the Depositary or the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement) in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received by the designated recipient of such sum under this Agreement or the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement after such deduction or withholding equals the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension. For purposes of this Section 4, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof or thereunder, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with any of the foregoing and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any such intergovernmental agreement.
