ALLEGIANT TRAVEL COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. The Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which are 50 percent or less owned, are accounted for under the equity or cost method, and are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2 — Special Charges

Sunseeker Resort

The Sunseeker Resort at Charlotte Harbor (the "Resort" or "Sunseeker Resort") was impacted by Hurricanes Ian, Idalia, and Helene in the years 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively. While the Resort was built to withstand hurricanes and flooding, these weather events are unprecedented in their frequency and the amount of destruction caused in Southwest Florida. The Company believes these weather events will be unusual and has included the cost of these events and the related insurance recoveries in special charges. The estimated losses are recorded to special charges in the period of the event and are offset by insurance recoveries in the period they are approved. To date, the Company has recorded $81.5 million in losses and $56.5 million in insurance recoveries. The Company has submitted additional insurance claims, relating to Hurricanes Ian and Idalia, that remain outstanding at the date of this report.

Airline

Due to the heavy maintenance needs on certain aging Airbus airframes and capacity constraints at the maintenance, repair, and overhaul contractors, the Company reevaluated its fleet plan and identified 21 airframes for early retirement to coincide with 737 MAX aircraft deliveries as scheduled under an amendment to the Company's agreement with The Boeing Company signed in September 2023. Two airframes were retired in 2023 and six airframes have been retired during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The remaining airframes are to be retired between December 2024 and December 2026. The accelerated depreciation on these airframes resulting from a change in the estimated useful life is recorded as a special charge.

In April 2024, the Company's flight attendants, represented by the Transport Workers Union of America, ratified a new five-year collective bargaining agreement. Under the agreement, a ratification bonus was paid in May 2024, which amount is included within special charges.

In third quarter 2024, the Company recorded $3.4 million of special charges related to organizational restructuring.

Special Charges

The table below summarizes special charges recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total special charges 8,790 $ 32,648 40,002 $ 19,828

(1)Includes $0.8 million of payroll tax expense.

Note 3 — Revenue Recognition

Passenger Revenue

Passenger revenue is the most significant category in the Company's reported operating revenues, as outlined below:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Scheduled service $ 206,447 $ 231,757 $ 769,041 $ 862,823
Ancillary air-related charges 271,150 273,091 853,333 866,728
Loyalty redemptions 11,392 11,403 41,049 38,723
Total passenger revenue $ 488,989 $ 516,251 $ 1,663,423 $ 1,768,274

Sales of passenger tickets not yet flown are recorded in air traffic liability. Passenger revenue is recognized when the underlying service is provided. As of September 30, 2024, the air traffic liability balance was $397.0 million, of which approximately $345.9 million was related to forward bookings, with the remaining $51.1 million related to credit vouchers for future travel.

The normal contract term of passenger tickets is 12 months and passenger revenue associated with future travel will principally be recognized within this time frame. Of the $353.5 million that was recorded in the air traffic liability balance as of December 31, 2023, approximately 87.2 percent was recognized into passenger revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company periodically evaluates the estimated amount of credit vouchers expected to expire unused and any adjustment is removed from air traffic liability and included in passenger revenue in the period in which the evaluation is complete.

Resort Revenue

The Company's resort revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are set forth in the table below:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Food and beverage $ 5,929 $ $ 24,344 $
Rooms 5,190 21,800
Other 1,950 7,624
Total resort revenue $ 13,069 $ $ 53,768 $

Revenue from banquets, golf, retail and spa services are included in other resort revenue. Resort revenue is recognized as the underlying services or goods have been provided. There is typically little to no lag between when the services are performed and when payment is remitted. Large group reservations, conventions, and other event bookings require advance deposits which are recorded as accrued liabilities in the Company's balance sheet until the related services and goods are provided. Guest receivables are recorded in accounts receivable on the Company's balance sheet for room nights stayed prior to payment at checkout. The amounts of advance deposit liabilities and guest ledger receivables were not material as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Loyalty redemptions

In relation to the travel component of the Allways Rewards® co-brand credit card contract, the Company has a performance obligation to provide point holders with future travel award redemptions at the airline and resort. Therefore, consideration received related to the travel component is deferred based on its relative selling price and is recognized into passenger revenue or resort revenue when the points are redeemed and the underlying service is provided. Similarly, in relation to the Allways Rewards loyalty program, points earned through the program are deferred based on the stand-alone selling price and recognized into passenger or resort revenue when the points are redeemed and the underlying service is provided.

The following table presents the activity of the point liability for the periods indicated:

Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2024 2023
Points balance at January 1 $ 70,813 $ 56,500
Points awarded (deferral of revenue) 50,704 54,031
Points redeemed (recognition of revenue) (41,074) (38,723)
Points balance at September 30 $ 80,443 $ 71,808

The current portion of the loyalty program liability represents the estimate of revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the remaining balance reflected in noncurrent liabilities expected to be recognized into revenue in periods thereafter.

The following table summarizes the Company's property and equipment as of the dates indicated:

Debt Secured by Aircraft

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received $18.8 million in advances and made $75.6 million in repayments on pre-delivery payment (PDP) credit facilities secured by certain aircraft purchase rights. The notes under the facilities bear interest at floating interest rates based on SOFR and are payable at maturity or upon delivery of the collateralized aircraft, whichever comes first.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $75.2 million through two new debt facilities secured by two aircraft. These notes bear interest at floating interest rates based on SOFR, are payable in quarterly installments, and mature in September 2029 and September 2036.

Other Secured Debt

In March 2024, the Company entered into credit agreements for up to $218.5 million which will be collateralized by new aircraft upon delivery. The loans will bear interest at a variable rate based on 3-month SOFR and are payable in quarterly installments for a term of 12 years. No drawings have been made on these financing commitments to date.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded a $6.7 million income tax benefit at a 15.3 percent effective tax rate and a $4.9 million income tax benefit at a 16.3 percent effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, and discrete items, none of which are individually significant.

The Company recorded a $2.7 million income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of 10.3 percent and a $41.3 million income tax expense at a 25.7 percent effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the statutory Federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes, the impact of permanent tax differences and discrete items, none of which are individually significant.

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure the fair value of its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The assets classified as Level 2 primarily utilize quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources including transactions involving identical or comparable assets and models utilizing market observable inputs for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

None of the Company's debt is publicly held and as a result, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of these notes as Level 3 liabilities. Certain inputs used to determine fair value are unobservable and, therefore, could be sensitive to changes in inputs. The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of Level 3 debt.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding finance leases, including current maturities and without reduction for related costs, are as follows:

As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023
(in thousands) Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Hierarchy Level
Fair Value of Notes Payable $ 1,769,165 $ 1,759,662 $ 1,826,921 $ 1,815,351 3

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.

Note 8 — Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, the Company attributes net income to two classes: common stock and unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock.

Diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two methods. Under both methods, the exercise of employee stock options is assumed using the treasury stock method. The assumption of vesting of restricted stock, however, differs:

1.Assume vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

2.Assume unvested restricted stock awards are not vested, and allocate earnings to common shares and unvested restricted stock awards using the two-class method.

The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the periods indicated (share count and dollar amounts other than per-share amounts in the table are in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

Note 9 — Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain legal and administrative actions it considers routine to its business activities. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of any potential and pending legal or administrative matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Note 10 — Segments

Operating segments are components of a company for which separate financial and operating information is regularly evaluated and reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), and is used to allocate resources and analyze performance. The Company's CODM is Gregory Anderson, President and CEO, who reviews information about the Company's two operating segments: Airline and Sunseeker Resort.

Airline Segment

The Airline segment operates as a single business unit and includes all scheduled service air transportation, ancillary air-related products and services, third party products and services, fixed fee contract air transportation and other airline-related revenue. The CODM evaluation includes, but is not limited to, route and flight profitability data, ancillary and third party product and service offering statistics, and fixed fee contract information when making resource allocation decisions for the Airline segment.

Sunseeker Resort Segment

The Sunseeker Resort segment operates as a single business unit and includes hotel rooms and suites for occupancy, group meeting facilities, food and beverage options, the Aileron Golf Course and other Resort amenities. The CODM evaluation includes, but is not limited to, demand for hospitality offerings, occupancy rates, room pricing, food and beverage offerings, other charge points at the Resort and competitive information when making resource allocation decisions for the Resort.

Selected information for the Company's operating segments and the reconciliation to the consolidated financial statement amounts are as follows:

Note 11 — Subsequent Events

The Sunseeker Resort was directly impacted by Hurricane Milton, which made landfall on the west coast of Florida on October 9, 2024. As the Resort was within the evacuation zone, the Resort temporarily halted operations beginning October 7, 2024 and reopened with limited services on October 14, 2024. In addition to lost revenues, the Resort also sustained damages from the hurricane, which are currently being assessed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis presents factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Also discussed is our financial position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section below entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Third Quarter 2024 Review

AIRCRAFT

The following table sets forth the aircraft in service and operated by us as of the dates indicated:

September 30, 2024 (4) December 31, 2023
A320(1)(2) 88 92
A319(3) 34 34
Total 122 126

(1)December 31, 2023 figure does not include one aircraft of which we had taken delivery, but was not in service as of that date.

(2)Includes 23 aircraft under finance lease and 13 aircraft under operating lease as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

(3)Includes four aircraft under operating lease as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(4)September 30, 2024 figure does not include one 737 MAX aircraft of which we had taken delivery, but was not in service as of that date.

As of September 30, 2024, we are a party to forward purchase agreements for 49 aircraft with one delivery currently expected in 2024, and the remaining 48 aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2025 and later years. The timing of these deliveries is based on management's best estimates at the current time and differs from the contract in place. The delivery schedule has been and will continue to be impacted by delay notices from Boeing, continuing regulatory reviews of Boeing, supply chain constraints, and labor issues at Boeing. We received delivery of our first 737 MAX aircraft in September 2024 and have since placed it into revenue service in October 2024.

Due to the heavy maintenance needs on certain aging Airbus airframes and capacity constraints at the maintenance, repair, and overhaul contractors, we reevaluated our fleet plan and identified 21 aging airframes for early retirement to coincide with the delivery schedule for our 737 MAX aircraft provided in an amendment to our Boeing purchase agreement signed in September 2023. Two airframes were retired in 2023 and six airframes were retired during the first nine months of 2024. The remaining airframes are to be retired between December 2024 and December 2026. The timing of the retirements was coordinated with the revised delivery schedule for the 737 MAX aircraft to provide us with opportunities for fleet renewal and replacement. The accelerated depreciation on these airframes resulting from a change in the estimated useful life is being recorded as a special charge, of which $4.2 million was recorded during third quarter 2024. We plan to retain the engines associated with these airframes in our spare engine pool and use the substantial remaining life on these engines to offset future overhaul costs.

NETWORK

As of September 30, 2024, we were selling 542 routes versus 549 as of the same date in 2023. Growth of our network in the past two years has been impacted by challenges created by delayed aircraft deliveries, the uncertainty of our pilot staffing levels and other factors. Network growth will continue to be affected by further aircraft delivery delays, aircraft in heavy maintenance and airport construction and disruption. We have identified over 1,400 incremental domestic nonstop routes as opportunities for future network growth, of which over 77 percent currently have no non-stop service. Our total active number of origination cities and leisure destinations were 88 and 34, respectively, as of September 30, 2024.

Our unique model is predicated around expanding and contracting capacity to meet seasonal leisure travel demands.

TRENDS

Aircraft Fuel

The cost of fuel is volatile, as it is subject to many economic and geopolitical factors we can neither control nor predict. Significant increases in fuel costs could materially affect our operating results and profitability. We have not sought to use financial derivative products to hedge our exposure to fuel price volatility, nor do we have any plans to do so in the future.

The cost per gallon of fuel began to increase significantly in 2021, and the increases were exacerbated by the geopolitical impact of the war in Ukraine. Although the average fuel cost per gallon decreased 12.9 percent in third quarter 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, fuel cost per gallon for the quarter remained 23.4 percent higher than in full year 2019. We expect high fuel costs to continue impacting our total costs and operating results.

Increasing Utilization

We are in the midst of an effort to increase aircraft utilization back to 2019 levels by adding service to our schedule in our most profitable peak periods. By way of example, our aircraft utilization rate was 9.8 hours per aircraft in July 2019 compared to 7.7 hours per aircraft in July 2024. We have made progress toward this goal in 2024 and currently expect to achieve this goal during 2025, but this effort is subject to various risks, some of which may not be under our control.

Boeing Agreement

We have signed an agreement and amendments with The Boeing Company to purchase 50 newly manufactured 737 MAX aircraft with options to purchase up to an additional 80 737 MAX aircraft. We took delivery of our first MAX aircraft in September 2024, with the aircraft entering revenue service in October 2024. We believe this new aircraft purchase is complementary with our low-cost strategy based on our intent to retain ownership of the aircraft, the longer useful life for depreciation purposes, and expected fuel savings and operational reliability from the use of these new aircraft.

In the interest of increased quality control at Boeing and its suppliers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has indicated aircraft production rates will be capped until they are satisfied with Boeing's quality practices. These factors, other delays in Boeing obtaining needed regulatory approvals, and labor actions by Boeing machinists could delay deliveries to us even further than management's current expectations. Although the contract provides for more deliveries, at this time, we do not expect more than one additional aircraft to be delivered in 2024. Continuing delays in aircraft deliveries will impact our ability to schedule additional growth into 2025 and beyond.

New Reservation System

During 2023, we converted to the Navitaire reservation system to replace our legacy home-grown system. While we expect incremental passenger revenue once this system is fully implemented, we suffered some per passenger air ancillary revenue degradation (in the area of bundled ancillary products in particular) as certain functionality was unavailable during the transition. We restored functionality around one of our bundled product offerings in late third quarter 2024 and will continue to devote resources to the transition issues. We currently expect to regain the lost per passenger revenue and begin to achieve some of the incremental per passenger revenue in 2025.

Union Negotiations

The collective bargaining agreement with our pilots is currently amendable. We and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("IBT”) jointly requested the mediation services of the National Mediation Board ("NMB") in January 2023 to assist with the negotiations. The mediation process with the NMB is continuing with new union negotiators and leadership.

Separately from the ongoing collective bargaining agreement negotiations, to address retention and pilot pay issues and increase pilot staffing levels, effective in May 2023, we began accruing a retention bonus, with IBT's agreement, for pilots who continue employment with us until a new labor agreement is approved. The amount being accrued is 35 percent of current hourly pay rates, except for our first year first officers for whom the percentage is 82 percent, in each case, calculated at a minimum of 85 pay credit hours per month. Our implementation of the retention bonus has allowed us to effectively increase pay rates for our pilot team members (by way of the accrual of the retention bonus), add pilots through hiring and significantly slow attrition.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded estimated pilot retention bonus accruals of $23.7 million bringing the total accrual to $124.3 million at period end, including the related payroll taxes. The bonus will be paid to all pilots remaining employed with us after ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement.

Sunseeker Resort

Sunseeker Resort at Charlotte Harbor opened in December 2023. As with many new hotels or resorts, Sunseeker's booking and occupancy rates are lower than more established properties. In addition, occupancy has been compromised by three major hurricanes impacting the area in summer and fall 2024. Despite strong performance by our food and beverage offerings, Sunseeker will incur significant losses in its first year of operations. Our customer reviews continue to be positive and we hope to build on that favorable customer sentiment to achieve better financial performance of the Resort in the future. We have engaged experienced hospitality advisors to identify areas for improvement in an effort to seek to optimize the value of this asset and evaluate strategic alternatives with potential partners.

Establishment of ESG Goals

We have established ESG goals in the areas of environmental, social and governance. We will report on our progress toward meeting those goals within our annual sustainability reports. Our 2023 Sustainability Report was recently published and can be viewed on our investor relations website.

VivaAerobus Alliance

In December 2021, we announced plans for a fully-integrated commercial alliance agreement with VivaAerobus, designed to expand options for nonstop leisure air travel between our markets in the United States and Mexico. We and VivaAerobus have submitted a joint application to the Department of Transportation (DOT) requesting approval of and antitrust immunity for the alliance. Although the DOT process has progressed substantially, their review of our application is currently suspended pending the outcome of diplomatic engagement on broader treaty issues and, as a result, the timing of commencement of this service is uncertain as it will depend on when or if the DOT will ultimately approve the grant of antitrust immunity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2024 to three months ended September 30, 2023

Operating Revenue

Passenger revenue. For third quarter 2024, passenger revenue decreased $27.3 million or 5.3 percent compared to the same period in 2023 on relatively flat capacity. The decrease in passenger revenue was primarily driven by a 9.6 percent decrease in average scheduled service base fare, coupled with a 0.9 percent decrease in passengers flown, compared to third quarter 2023. Flight cancellations due to the CrowdStrike globlal outage in July, Hurricane Debby in August and Hurricane Helene in September contributed to the decline in passenger revenue. Air ancillary revenue per passenger remained flat when compared to third quarter 2023, despite certain challenges with the transition to the Navitaire system. Revenue per departure is higher for aircraft converted to the Allegiant Extra configuration. During the quarter we converted 13 aircraft to the Allegiant Extra configuration, ending the period with a total of 39 aircraft in this configuration.

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue for third quarter 2024 increased $8.5 million or 27.4 percent compared to third quarter 2023. The increase from 2023 is primarily driven by a 29.7 percent increase in the marketing component of co-brand credit card revenues and $2.5 million of revenue from a new travel insurance product implemented during first quarter 2024. In addition, third party hotel revenues declined by 20.0 percent from third quarter 2023 on a 16.2 percent decline in rooms booked. Car rental revenue increased by 6.7 percent over third quarter 2023 despite a 4.0 percent decrease in rental car days sold.

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue for third quarter 2024 increased by $2.8 million or 15.9 percent compared to the same period in 2023. This growth was driven by an 8.2 percent increase in fixed fee departures and a 7.1 percent increase in revenue per departure. Increases in flying were evenly spread across military, ad hoc and vacation charters.

Operating Expenses

We primarily evaluate our expense management by comparing our costs per available seat mile (ASM) across different periods, which enables us to assess trends in each expense category. The following table presents unit costs on a per ASM basis, or CASM, for the indicated periods. Excluding fuel on a per ASM basis provides management and investors the ability to measure and monitor our cost performance absent fuel price volatility. Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. Excluding special charges and Sunseeker operating costs also allows management and investors to better compare our airline unit costs with those of other airlines.

* These expense line items include Sunseeker Resort activity

Operating CASM, excluding fuel, airline special charges, and Sunseeker Resort activity. Operating CASM, excluding fuel, airline special charges and Sunseeker Resort activity ("CASM-ex"), increased by 4.7 percent to 8.89 ¢ for third quarter 2024 from 8.49 ¢ in third quarter 2023. The CASM-ex increase is primarily attributable to a 15.1 percent, or $24.1 million, increase in airline salaries and benefits expense in third quarter 2024 over third quarter 2023 (for the reasons described in the expense line item discussion below). This increase was on relatively flat capacity as we continue to incur significant labor costs for pilots trained to fly our Boeing 737 MAX aircraft while the aircraft deliveries have been delayed.

Salaries and benefits expense. Salaries and benefits expense increased $32.3 million, or 19.8 percent, in third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023. Higher salaries and benefits expense was primarily driven by a 4.5 percent increase in airline full

time equivalent employees (including a 21.9 percent increase in the number of pilots employed since September 30, 2023) and increased crew pay. Increased crew pay reflects the impact of a $23.7 million accrual for pilot retention bonuses during third quarter 2024, which exceeds the third quarter 2023 accrual by $5.0 million due to the higher number of pilots, and a new collective bargaining agreement with our flight attendants that includes wage increases effective April 2024. The accrued pilot retention bonus is payable after ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with this work group. The opening of Sunseeker Resort in December 2023 further drove the increase by adding nearly 600 Resort team members since September 30, 2023 and an increase of $8.2 million in Sunseeker salaries and benefits expense in third quarter 2024.

Aircraft fuel expense. Aircraft fuel expense decreased $19.6 million, or 11.7 percent, for third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023. This is primarily due to a 12.9 percent decrease in average fuel cost per gallon offset by a 1.6 percent increase in fuel gallons consumed from a 1.5 percent increase in total available seat miles.

Station operations expense. Station operations expense for third quarter 2024 increased $6.0 million, or 9.3 percent compared to third quarter 2023. The increase was driven in part by a $3.2 million increase in passenger compensation partially as the result of the CrowdStrike outage in July. The increase in station operations expense also includes a $1.6 million increase in building rents and increases in airport, landing, and ground handling fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for third quarter 2024 increased by $8.1 million or 14.5 percent compared to third quarter 2023. The increase is primarily attributed to $7.8 million of depreciation expense related to the Sunseeker Resort, which held its grand opening in December 2023. The remaining change includes an increase in deferred heavy maintenance amortization offset by a decrease in aircraft depreciation as nine airframes were retired since the prior year quarter.

Maintenance and repairs expense. Maintenance and repairs expense for third quarter 2024 decreased $5.2 million, or 14.7 percent, compared to third quarter 2023, due to decreases in rotable repairs and decreased outsourced labor expenses as we have been able to stabilize internal staffing.

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense for third quarter 2024 decreased by $3.6 million or 12.6 percent compared to the same period in 2023. Airline sales and marketing expense decreased $4.5 million related to the discontinuation of a marketing agreement and decreases in direct marketing efforts and credit card fees. These decreases were offset by a $0.9 million increase in sales and marketing expense at the Sunseeker Resort.

Other operating expense. Other operating expense increased $11.1 million or 37.8 percent in third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an $8.1 million increase in Sunseeker Resort operating expenses consisting of $1.8 million cost of sales (primarily food and beverage), $2.1 million of insurance expense, $0.9 million of property taxes, and other general and administrative expenses. Other operating expenses related to the airline increased by $5.0 million due primarily to crew travel, software licenses and support, and property taxes. These increases were offset in part by gains on the sale of flight equipment.

Special charges. During third quarter 2024, we recorded $8.8 million of special charges including $4.2 million of accelerated depreciation from the early retirement of 21 airframes through 2026 pursuant to a revised fleet plan, $3.4 million of compensation expense from an organizational restructuring, and $1.1 million of damages from Hurricane Helene, net of insurance recoveries, related to Sunseeker Resort.

Interest Expense and Income

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased by $5.2 million or 43.4 percent, compared to third quarter 2023. Capitalized interest decreased $3.0 million as the result of a $6.7 million decrease in capitalized interest related to the Sunseeker Resort, offset by an increase in capitalized interest of $3.7 million related to our investment in the Boeing fleet. Interest income decreased by $2.4 million as a result of lower average investment balances, which was offset in part by higher average yields on investments, compared to third quarter 2023.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded a $6.7 million income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of 15.3 percent and a $4.9 million income tax benefit at a 16.3 percent effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes and permanent tax differences.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2024 to nine months ended September 30, 2023

Operating Revenue

Passenger revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, passenger revenue decreased $104.9 million or 5.9 percent compared with the same period in 2023 on relatively flat capacity. The decrease in passenger revenue was primarily driven by an 8.5 percent decrease in average scheduled service base fare coupled with a 1.8 percent decrease in passengers flown. The lower base fare is attributable to industry overcapacity prevalent during 2024 and weaker demand in off-peak periods. We expect our Allegiant Extra product to increase ancillary air revenue as it is deployed in more of our aircraft. We ended the quarter with 39 aircraft fitted to the Allegiant Extra configuration and anticipate that it will continue to drive fare growth going forward.

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $24.0 million or 28.0 percent over the same period in 2023. The increase from 2023 is primarily the result of a 35.0 percent increase in the marketing component of co-brand credit card revenues and $7.2 million of revenue from a new travel insurance product implemented during first quarter 2024. In addition, third party hotel revenues increased slightly by 3.3 percent from the prior year period despite a 12.9 percent decrease in room nights booked. Car rental revenue was relatively flat over the prior year period on a 2.8 percent decrease in rental car days sold.

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $13.5 million or 31.0 percent compared to the same period in 2023 on a 30.7 percent increase in fixed fee departures as a result of strong performance during March Madness and growth in corporate and military charters and other sports flying.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents unit costs on a per ASM basis, defined as Operating CASM, for the indicated periods. Excluding fuel on a per ASM basis provides management and investors the ability to measure and monitor our cost performance absent fuel price volatility. Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. Excluding special charges and Sunseeker operating costs allows management and investors to better compare our airline unit costs with those of other airlines.

Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel, special charges and Sunseeker Resort activity 8.65 ¢ 8.00 ¢ 8.1

* These expense line items include Sunseeker Resort activity

Operating CASM, excluding fuel, airline special charges, and Sunseeker Resort activity. Operating CASM, excluding fuel, airline special charges and Sunseeker Resort activity, increased by 8.1 percent to 8.65 ¢ for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 8.00 ¢ for the same period in 2023. The CASM-ex increase is primarily attributable to an 18.0 percent or $88.6 million increase in airline salaries and benefits expense (for the reasons described in the expense line item discussion below). This increase was on relatively flat capacity as we continue to incur significant labor costs for pilots trained to fly our Boeing 737 MAX aircraft while the aircraft deliveries have been delayed.

Salaries and benefits expense. Salaries and benefits expense increased $118.8 million, or 23.8 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Higher salaries and benefits expense was primarily driven by a 4.5 percent increase in airline full-time equivalent employees (including a 21.9 percent increase in the number of pilots

employed since September 30, 2023) and increased crew pay. Increased crew pay includes the impact of a $69.6 million accrual for pilot retention bonuses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $39.2 million is incremental to what was accrued in the same period in 2023 as the accruals did not commence until May 2023, and a new collective bargaining agreement with our flight attendants that includes wage increases effective April 2024. The accrued pilot retention bonus is payable after completion of a new collective bargaining agreement with this work group. The opening of Sunseeker Resort in December 2023 further drove the increase by adding nearly 600 Resort team members since September 30, 2023 and an increase of $30.2 million in Sunseeker salaries and benefits expense during the nine month period.

Aircraft fuel expense. Aircraft fuel expense decreased $31.6 million, or 6.1 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This is primarily driven by a 6.6 percent decrease in average fuel cost per gallon. The decrease in fuel cost was partially offset by an 0.8 percent increase in fuel gallons consumed on a 0.9 percent increase in total available seat miles.

Station operations expense. Station operations expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $14.0 million or 7.3 percent. This is primarily driven by a $5.3 million increase in building rents, a $4.6 million increase in passenger compensation, largely driven by disruption from the CrowdStrike outage in July, and other general increases in airport, landing, and ground handling fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $28.7 million or 17.4 percent compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to $19.7 million of depreciation expense related to the Sunseeker Resort, which opened in December 2023. The remaining change of $9.0 million is primarily driven by increases in deferred heavy maintenance amortization of $8.2 million, software depreciation of $3.2 million (related to several new systems implemented since July 2023), and rotable depreciation of $2.0 million, offset by a decrease in airframe depreciation of $5.9 million as the result of nine airframes retired since the end of third quarter 2023.

Maintenance and repairs expense. Maintenance and repairs expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4.3 million or 4.5 percent when compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $9.6 million in rotable repairs and decreased outsourced labor expenses as we have been able to stabilize internal staffing. This decrease was offset by approximately $5.5 million in increased expendable consumption and engine repair expenses.

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $2.0 million or 2.3 percent compared to the same period in 2023. Airline sales and marketing decreased $5.8 million, primarily driven by the discontinuation of a marketing agreement in 2024, a fee incurred in 2023 for transitioning our co-branded credit card to a new payment network, and a reduction in credit card processing fees, driven by a 5.9 percent decrease in passenger revenue year-over-year. These reductions were offset by a $3.8 million increase in sales and marketing expense at the Sunseeker Resort.

Other operating expense. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $29.9 million, or 32.6 percent year-over-year primarily due to an increase of $26.9 million related to Sunseeker Resort operations, which includes $7.8 million cost of sales (primarily food and beverage cost), $6.4 million of insurance expense, $2.6 million in property taxes, and other general and administrative expenses. Other operating expenses related to the airline increased by $3.0 million due to increases in software licenses, training, and support related to our new IT systems, and crew travel, which were offset in part by gains on the sale of flight equipment.

Special charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $40.0 million of special charges including $28.4 million of accelerated depreciation from the early retirement of 21 airframes through 2026 pursuant to a revised fleet plan, $10.8 million related to the ratification bonus on our new flight attendant collective bargaining agreement, as well as $3.4 million of compensation costs related to an organizational restructuring of administrative personnel. These charges were offset by net insurance recoveries related to Sunseeker Resort hurricane damages of $2.6 million.

Interest Expense and Income

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased by $1.3 million, or 2.6 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Interest expense increased by $6.1 million, primarily as the result of an increase in the average variable interest rate during the period. Capitalized interest increased $5.8 million as the result of an increase in capitalized interest of $21.2 million driven by increased pre-delivery deposits on aircraft, offset by a $15.5 million decrease in capitalized interest related to the Sunseeker Resort. Interest income decreased by $1.0 million as a result of lower average investment balances, which was offset in part by higher yields on investments compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded a $2.7 million income tax benefit at an effective rate of 10.3 percent compared to a $41.3 million tax expense at a 25.7 percent effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 10.3 percent effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes and the impact of permanent tax differences.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current liquidity

Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities (short-term and long-term) decreased to $804.6 million as of September 30, 2024, from $870.7 million at December 31, 2023. Investment securities represent highly liquid marketable securities which are available-for-sale.

Restricted cash represents escrowed funds under fixed fee contracts and cash collateral against letters of credit required by hotel properties for guaranteed room availability, airports and certain other parties. Under our fixed fee flying contracts, we require our customers to prepay for flights to be provided by us. The prepayments are escrowed until the flight is completed and are recorded as restricted cash with a corresponding amount reflected as air traffic liability.

Our operating cash flows and long-term debt borrowings have allowed us to invest in our fleet renewal. Future capital needs are primarily for the acquisition of additional aircraft, including our existing aircraft commitments.

We believe we have more than adequate liquidity resources through our cash balances, operating cash flows, availability under revolving credit facilities, PDP facilities, and borrowings to meet our future contractual obligations. We have also entered into several financing commitments that will fund upon delivery of our new Boeing aircraft. We will continue to consider raising funds through debt financing as needed to fund capital expenditures.

Our current share repurchase authority is $75.7 million. We have not repurchased shares on the open market since December 2023. We have suspended our quarterly cash dividend in anticipation of upcoming capital needs related to our fleet investments.

Debt

Our debt and finance lease obligations balance, without reduction for related issuance costs, decreased by $76.6 million from $2.28 billion as of December 31, 2023 to $2.21 billion as of September 30, 2024. Net debt (total debt less unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments) as of September 30, 2024 was $1.38 billion, a decrease of $5.4 million from December 31, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into credit agreements for up to $218.5 million which will be collateralized by new aircraft deliveries. These commitments, along with commitments existing prior to first quarter 2024, are expected to refinance on a long-term basis $106.9 million of our PDP loan balances which are presently classified as current maturities of long term debt. We will draw on these financing commitments at the delivery of the respective aircraft as they will be funded when the aircraft to be pledged are delivered to us.

As of September 30, 2024, approximately 80.6 percent of our debt and finance lease obligations are fixed-rate.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Operating cash inflows are primarily derived from providing air transportation and related ancillary products and services to customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our operating activities provided $254.1 million of cash compared to $369.5 million during the same period 2023. This change is primarily attributable to a $143.6 million decrease in net income compared to the 2023 period.

Investing Activities. Cash used for investing activities was $40.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $537.4 million during the same period in 2023. The change is primarily attributable to a $387.6 million decrease in cash used for purchase of property and equipment, including aircraft PDPs and a $117.8 million increase in proceeds from maturities of investment securities, net of purchases.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include our statements regarding the number of contracted aircraft to be placed in service in the future, the timing of aircraft deliveries and retirements, our ability to increase aircraft utilization and also to increase per passenger revenue with our new revenue management system, the implementation of a joint alliance with VivaAerobus, the operations of our Sunseeker Resort, as well as other information concerning future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," “project,” “hope” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements may be found in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. These risk factors include, without limitation, the impact of regulatory reviews of and labor actions at Boeing on its aircraft delivery schedule, an accident involving, or problems with, our aircraft, public perception of our safety, our reliance on our automated systems, our reliance on Boeing and other third parties to deliver aircraft under contract to us on a timely basis, risk of breach of security of personal data, volatility of fuel costs, labor issues and costs, the ability to obtain regulatory approvals as needed, the effect of economic conditions on leisure travel, debt covenants and balances, the impact of government regulations on the airline industry, the ability to finance aircraft to be acquired, the ability to obtain necessary government approvals to implement the announced alliance with VivaAerobus and to otherwise prepare to offer international service, terrorist attacks, risks inherent to airlines, our competitive environment, our reliance on third parties who provide facilities or services to us, the impact of management changes and the possible loss of key personnel, economic and other conditions in markets in which we operate, the ability to successfully operate Sunseeker Resort at Charlotte Harbor, increases in maintenance costs and the availability of outside maintenance contractors to perform needed work on our aircraft on a timely basis and at acceptable rates, cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results and the perceived acceptability of our environmental, social, and governance efforts.

Any forward-looking statements are based on information available to us today and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our 2023 Form 10-K, and in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity prices (specifically aircraft fuel). The adverse effects of changes in these markets could pose potential losses as discussed below. The sensitivity analysis provided does not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor does it consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.

Aircraft Fuel

Our results of operations can be significantly impacted by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Aircraft fuel expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 represented 26.2 percent of our total operating expenses. Increases in fuel prices, or a shortage of supply, could have a material impact on our operations and operating results. Based on our fuel consumption for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a hypothetical ten percent increase in the average price per gallon of fuel would have increased fuel expense by approximately $48.6 million. We do not hedge fuel price risk.

Interest Rates

As of September 30, 2024, we had $427.8 million of variable-rate debt, including current maturities, and without reduction for $2.8 million in related costs. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would have affected interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer (“CFO”), we evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Except as set forth below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Sunseeker Resort opened on December 15, 2023 and the Resort is currently in its first full year of operations. Management has implemented internal controls over financial reporting related to Resort activities and continues to evaluate those controls and procedures.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to certain legal and administrative actions we consider routine to our business activities. We believe the ultimate outcome of any pending legal or administrative matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have evaluated our risk factors and determined there are no changes to those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024, other than the following risk factor:

Labor actions at Boeing will likely delay its production schedule, which could impact us as delivery delays may result in lower profitability than expected and delayed growth.

We are relying on Boeing to deliver our new 737 MAX aircraft to support airline growth and to replace aircraft we have designated for retirement.

In addition to the regulatory issues Boeing is facing, its machinists began to strike on September 13, 2024, which ended on November 5, 2024. The strike will likely further delay aircraft deliveries to us, and it is not possible to predict for what period our deliveries will be further delayed. Any further delays might disproportionately affect us as we expect to rely on these new aircraft for operating efficiencies and to augment our fleet as well as to replace aircraft to be retired.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our Repurchases of Equity Securities

The following table reflects the repurchases of our common stock during third quarter 2024:

Period Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) Average Price Paid per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of our Publicly Announced Plan Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in thousands) (2)
July 20,342 $ 49.39 None
August 9,325 $ 45.95 None
September 5,954 $ 50.88 None
Total 35,621 $ 48.74 $ 75,697

(1)Represents shares repurchased from employees who vested a portion of their restricted stock grants. These share repurchases were made at the election of each employee pursuant to an offer to repurchase by us. In each case, the shares repurchased constituted a portion of vested shares necessary to satisfy income tax withholding requirements.

(2)Represents the remaining dollar amount of open market purchases of our common stock which has been authorized by our board under a share repurchase program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable

Item 5. Other Information

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of the Company's securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”

The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be deemed to impart substantive meeting to any provision of this Agreement. Each party has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its choice in negotiating this Agreement. This Agreement shall therefore be deemed to have been negotiated and prepared at the joint request and direction of the parties, at arm’s length, with the advice and participation of counsel, and shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without favor to any party.

The provisions of this Release are severable, and if any part or portion of it is found to be unenforceable, the other paragraphs shall remain fully valid and enforceable. This Release shall become effective and enforceable on the eighth day following its execution by Executive, provided he does not exercise his right of revocation as described above. If Executive fails to sign and deliver this Release or revokes his signature, this Release will be without force or effect, and Executive shall not be entitled to those payments or benefits under Items 6A, 6C or 6D of the Employment Agreement, as applicable, which are conditioned upon the execution of this Release.

During the term of his employment with the Company and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Executive shall be entitled to passes for air travel on the flights of the Company (and any successor-in-interest to the Company) for Executive, his wife (if married) and children (up to age 21) on a positive space basis at no cost to Executive.

(4) Expense Reimbursement. In addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company, as approved by the Company. These expenses may include expenses for travel, business promotion, association memberships, and any other expenses as may be approved by the Supervising Officer from time to time. The Company shall reimburse Executive for such out-of-pocket expenses by the tenth (10th) day of the month following the month in which such expenses were incurred (and appropriate documentation thereof has been provided to the Company). The Company may issue to Executive a company credit card. In such event, Executive agrees to use such card only for the expenses reimbursable under this paragraph. Executive agrees to keep the card securely. In the event of loss or theft, the issuing authority (bank) and the Company shall be informed immediately. The card shall be returned to the Company forthwith on the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever.

(5) Payroll Taxes.  Executive shall bear full responsibility for the employee portion of all payroll taxes.  With respect to compensation in the form of restricted stock vesting, such amounts may be paid, at Executive’s request, by the cancellation of such number of shares of restricted stock as may be necessary to fund the payroll tax obligation based on a value equal to the closing stock price of the Company’s stock on the last trading day prior to the date of vesting.

(6) Deductions. Deductions shall be made from Executive’s salary for social security, Medicare, federal and state withholding taxes, and any other such taxes as may from time to time be required by governmental authority.

(7) Clawback Agreement.  Executive agrees that his compensation is subject to whatever Company clawback policy is in effect from time to time. Further, in accordance with the Company’s clawback policy, Executive hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any bonuses or incentive or equity-based compensation if the Compensation Committee in good faith determines: (a) the payment or grant was based on the

achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement (other than as a result of a change in accounting principles) and a lower payment or award would have occurred based upon the restated financial results; or (b) the Executive engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct related to the Company or its business. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable and allowable under applicable law, require reimbursement of any bonus or incentive or equity based compensation awarded or effect the cancellation of any unvested or deferred stock awards previously granted to the Executive in the amount by which the Executive’s bonus or incentive or equity based compensation for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results, or such other amount as determined by the Compensation Committee, provided that the Company will not be entitled to recover bonuses or incentive or equity based compensation paid more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement is disclosed.

(8) PSPs Limitations on Compensation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any cash or stock-based compensation under this Agreement (whether upon payment, grant, vesting or accelerated vesting) exceed the limitations imposed upon the Company by virtue of accepting support from the U.S. Treasury under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 and subsequent payroll support programs (collectively, the “PSPs”) so long as those restrictions remain in effect. In the event of any such restriction, the parties agree to use good faith to negotiate an arrangement to provide the same value of compensation to Executive at a later time or on other terms but in compliance with the PSPs.

(9) Release Required for Post-Termination Benefits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock, continued payment of salary after termination and other post-termination benefits shall be available to Executive under Items 6A, 6C and 6D in each case, if and only if Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form agreed to by the parties and only so long as Executive has not revoked such general release.

(10) Adjustments on Stock Splits or Dividends. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting shares of the Company or in the event of a merger or acquisition affecting the Company’s outstanding shares, the number of shares of restricted stock to be granted or vested as of any subsequent date shall be adjusted accordingly as determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith, with such determination being final and binding.

5.    Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until December 31, 2026. The term of the Agreement shall expire on such date absent a renewal signed by both parties.

6.    Termination:

A.    This Agreement shall be terminated upon Executive’s death or upon a physician certified disability which permanently or indefinitely renders Executive unable to perform his usual duties on behalf of the Company. In the event of Executive’s termination of

employment as a result of death or such a disability, all shares of the Base Compensation Grant and all other shares of restricted stock granted to Executive prior to the date hereof shall become fully vested.

B.    Executive may, without “Good Reason” (as defined in paragraph D below), terminate this Agreement by giving to the Company sixty (60) days written notice and such termination shall be effective on the date specified by Executive but in no event earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of such notice. In such event, Executive shall continue to render his services up to the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) if so requested by the Company. In the event of such a resignation without Good Reason, all then unvested stock options, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights held by Executive as of the Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited.

C.    The Company may, without “Cause” (as defined in paragraph E below), terminate this Agreement at any time by giving to Executive written notice and such termination shall be effective on the date specified by the Company. At the option of the Company, Executive shall immediately cease performing his duties hereunder upon receipt of the notice. If terminated without Cause pursuant to this paragraph C, Executive shall continue to receive his full Base Salary through December 31, 2026 and fringe benefits for the remaining term of this Agreement (but in no event for less than six (6) months following Executive’s termination) and all shares of the Base Compensation Grant and all other shares of restricted stock granted to Executive prior to the date hereof shall become fully vested.

D.    Executive may terminate this Agreement immediately for “Good Reason”. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall be defined as (i) failure of the Company to make any payment or provide any benefit to Executive hereunder, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of written notice of such default, or (ii) a material diminution of Executive’s duties and responsibilities or his title without Executive’s consent, or (iii) the principal location at which Executive is to perform his duties is relocated to a place more than fifty (50) miles from Las Vegas, Nevada. Any termination under this paragraph D shall take effect immediately upon the Company’s receipt of written notice from Executive after the expiration of any applicable cure period. If Executive terminates this Agreement for “Good Reason” pursuant to this paragraph D, Executive shall continue to receive his full base salary through December 31, 2026 and fringe benefits for the remaining term of this Agreement (but in no event less than six (6) months following Executive’s termination) and all shares of the Base Compensation Grant and all other shares of restricted stock granted to Executive prior to the date hereof shall become fully vested.

E.    The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for “Cause”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined as any of the following: (i) Executive shall commit a felony or other act involving moral turpitude, which other act is materially detrimental to the Company; (ii) Executive shall knowingly commit any act of prohibited conduct as set forth in Item 3 of this Agreement; (iii) Executive shall commit any act, specifically including but not limited to drug or alcohol abuse, which act is materially harmful to the Company, or which in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s Board brings the Company

into disrepute; (iv) Executive shall commit any act of fraud, dishonesty, theft or misappropriation, whether or not related to his activities on behalf of the Company, including providing false reports or accounts to the Company or deliberately making false statements about the Company, its services, employees, customers or suppliers; (v) intentional or repeated material neglect of Executive’s duties; (vi) breach by Executive of any other material provision of this Agreement; (vii) Executive shall become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise make an arrangement or composition with creditors generally; (viii) Executive shall engage in anti-social behavior (such as fighting, indecency, harassment, sexual or racial harassment or discrimination, intimidation of others, physical violence or assault) during the course of performing duties for the Company or against another employee outside of work; (ix) Executive shall have possession of illegal drugs at the Company’s workplace; or (x) Executive shall perform duties in a negligent or dangerous manner which causes or is likely to cause material loss or injury. This Agreement may not be terminated by the Company under subclause (v), (vi) or (x) of this Item unless and until the Company has provided Executive with written notice of such violative conduct and Executive has failed to cure (or fails to commence and thereafter diligently pursue the cure) such act within thirty (30) days after Executive’s receipt of such written notice; provided, however, that no right to cure shall be available for a second or subsequent violation of the same provision within any twelve (12) month period. Any termination under this paragraph E shall take effect immediately upon Executive’s receipt of written notice from the Company or expiration of any applicable cure period, whichever is later. The failure of the Company to terminate this Agreement for cause as a result of any of the foregoing at any one or more times shall not affect the Company’s ability to terminate this Agreement for cause as a result of the subsequent occurrence of any act giving rise to “cause” hereunder, provided that Executive is still provided with a notice to cure if applicable in accordance with the above. In the event of a termination for Cause, all then unvested stock options, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights held by Executive shall be immediately forfeited.

F.    Upon termination, Executive shall have no obligation to provide any additional services, and except as expressly provided above, the Company shall only be obligated pay to Executive the portion of any amounts due as of the termination date, together with all unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive.

G.    Termination of Executive’s Obligations. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment during the term of this Agreement, Executive’s obligations under Item 7 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement without renewal and termination of Executive’s employment as provided in such Item. Unless the parties to this Agreement mutually agree to extend the term of this Agreement, the restrictions under Item 7 of this Agreement shall no longer apply after the expiration of the term of this Agreement if Executive continues to be employed by the Company at that time.

H.    Resignation of Positions upon Termination. On the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Executive shall at the request of the Company immediately resign (without prejudice to any claims which Executive may have against the Company arising out of this Agreement or the termination thereof) from all and any offices

which Executive may hold as an officer or member of the Board of the Company and from all other appointments or offices which Executive holds as a nominee or representative of the Company and if Executive should fail to do so, the Company is hereby irrevocably authorized to appoint another person in Executive’s name and on Executive’s behalf to sign any documents or do anything necessary or requisite to effect such resignation(s) and/or transfers.

I.    Termination Date. For all purposes of this Agreement, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company shall be effective as of, and the “Termination Date” shall refer to, the effective date of termination of this Agreement as set forth above.

B.    [Executive agrees that during the Prohibited Time Period, he shall not, for any reason, without the prior written consent of the Company, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others serve in a Prohibited Capacity in the Prohibited Business in the Prohibited Geographic Area.]

C.    Executive covenants and agrees that during the Prohibited Time Period, he shall not, for any reason, directly or indirectly (whether as officer, director, consultant, employee, representative, agent, partner, owner, stockholder or otherwise), (i) solicit charter air services from, or market charter air services to, any Prohibited Party, or (ii) enter into a transaction with such Prohibited Party as a result of which the Prohibited Party does, or is likely to, reduce the amount of business between the Prohibited Party and the Company.

E.    The parties agree that: (i) the covenants and agreements of Executive contained in this Item are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Company in whose favor said covenants and agreements are imposed in light of the nature of the Company’s business and the professional involvement of Executive in such business; (ii) the restrictions imposed by this Item are not greater than are necessary for the protection of the Company in light of the substantial harm that the Company will suffer should Executive breach any of the provisions of said covenants or agreements; (iii) the covenants and agreements of Executive contained in this Item have been independently negotiated between the parties and served as a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement; (iv) the period and geographical area of restriction referred to in this Item are fair and reasonably required for the protection of the Company; and (v) the nature, kind and character of the activities Executive is prohibited to engage in are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company in that the Company will rely on Executive for those important aspects of its business.

G.    The covenants and agreements on the part of Executive contained in this Item shall be construed as agreements independent of any other agreement between Executive and the Company. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of each of such covenants and agreements or otherwise affect the remedies to which the Company is entitled hereunder.

H.    If the provisions of this Item 7 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic or other limitation permitted by applicable law.

8.    Confidential Information.

A.    During the period beginning on the execution date of this Agreement and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Executive agrees that he shall not, except in pursuit of the Company’s business or with the prior written consent of the Company, for his own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity:

(i)directly or indirectly disclose, reveal, report, duplicate or transfer any Confidential Information to any other person or entity outside of the Company;

(ii)directly or indirectly aid, encourage, direct or allow any other person or entity outside of the Company to gain possession of or access to Confidential Information;

(iii)directly or indirectly copy or reproduce Confidential Information, except as required as part of Executive’s duties; or

(iv)directly or indirectly use, sell or exploit any Confidential Information or aid, encourage, direct or allow any other person or entity to use, sell or exploit any Confidential Information.

This covenant shall not apply to any Confidential Information now or hereafter voluntarily disseminated by the Company to the public, or which otherwise has become part of the public domain through means other than a breach of Executive’s duty of confidentiality hereunder.  “Confidential Information”, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean information of the Company that constitutes a trade secret or confidential information under Nevada law and shall also include, but not be limited to,  all relevant information (whether or not reduced to writing and in any and all stages of development), concerning the Company and its services,

plans, business practices, methods of operation, financial information, names or lists of names of employees, contractors, suppliers and customers, employee compensation and benefits, other personal employee information, interpretations, surveys, forecasts, marketing plans, development plans, notes, reports, market analyses, specialized software and databases and shall also include other information related to suppliers and customers that could be used as a competitive advantage by competitors if revealed or disclosed to such competitors or to persons or entities revealing or disclosing same to such competitors; together with any and all extracts, summaries and photo, electronic or other copies or reproductions, in whole or in part, stored in whatever medium. Confidential Information also includes business information of the Company now known by Executive, or in Executive’s possession, or hereafter learned or acquired by Executive that derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Confidential Information may be written or oral, expressed in electronic media or otherwise disclosed, and may be tangible or intangible. Confidential Information also includes any information made available to the Company by its customers or other third parties and which the Company is obligated to keep confidential. Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is secret, confidential and proprietary to the Company and has been or will be disclosed to and/or obtained by Executive in confidence and trust for the sole purpose of using the same for the sole benefit of the Company.

B.    Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company has expended considerable and substantial time, effort and capital resources to develop the Confidential Information, (ii) the Confidential Information is innovative and must receive confidential treatment to protect the Company's competitive position in the market and the Company's proprietary interest therein from irreparable damage, (iii) Executive, by virtue of his relationship with the Company, has had and will have access to the Confidential Information, and (iv) the Confidential Information and all physical embodiments or other repositories of the same shall be and at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

C.    Since irreparable harm will otherwise result to the Company in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of Item 8A, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, company, association or other entity to whom such Confidential Information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Executive waives any requirement for the Company to post a bond or prove actual economic damage prior to seeking injunctive relief.

9.    Company Property.

A.    Executive acknowledges that all recorded information, including without limitation all notes, memoranda, records, documents, papers, computer disks, tapes, text or email messages, Teams messages, visual presentations or other storage media and all other papers and documents whatsoever which may have been prepared by Executive or have come into Executive’s possession or control in the course of employment with the Company (the

“Documents”) and other materials owned or used by the Company shall at all times remain the sole property of the Company.

B.    Executive agrees to promptly, upon request of the Company and in any event upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, forthwith return to the Company all property whatsoever belonging to the Company including, without limitation, any Company-issued keys, badges, laptop computer belonging to the Company, security passes, credit cards and all copies of the Documents which have come into Executive’s possession or control in the course of employment with the Company and Executive shall not be entitled to and shall not retain any copies thereof.

10.    Professional Responsibility.

A.    Executive agrees that he will provide in connection with the performance of all services under this Agreement the skill and diligence normally provided by competent professionals in the performance of services similar to that contemplated by this Agreement.

B.    Both parties acknowledge and agree that a fiduciary and confidential relationship has commenced and will continue to exist between them and that said relationship will continue during the term of this Agreement.

C.    Executive represents that he has no conflicts of interest in rendering his professional services to the Company.

D.    Executive shall not during the course of his employment (except as a representative or nominee of the Company or otherwise with the prior consent in writing of the Supervising Officer) be directly or indirectly engaged, concerned or interested in any other business which: (i) is wholly or partly in competition with any business carried on by the Company by itself or in partnership, common ownership or as a joint venture with any third party; or (ii) is a supplier to or customer of the Company, provided that Executive may own not more than one percent (1%) of the issued shares of any company which is publicly held and listed on a national stock exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

E.    Subject to any regulations from time to time issued by the Company, Executive shall not receive or obtain directly or indirectly any discount, rebate, commission or other inducement in respect of any sale or purchase of any goods or services effected or other business transacted (whether or not by Executive) by or on behalf of the Company and if Executive (or any firm or company in which Executive is directly or indirectly engaged, concerned or interested) shall obtain any such discount, rebate, commission or inducement, Executive shall account to the Company for the amount received by Executive or the amount received by such firm or company. In addition, Executive agrees to at all times comply with the Company’s Code of Ethics as in effect from time to time.

F.    As an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Executive represents and warrants that: (i) he is not a party to any other agreement or obligation for personal services (other than the Prior Agreement); (ii) there exist no impediments or restraints,

contractual or otherwise, on Executive’s power, right or ability to enter into this Agreement and to perform his duties and obligations hereunder; (iii) the performance of his obligations under this Agreement do not and will not violate or conflict with any agreement relating to confidentiality, non-competition or exclusive employment to which Executive is or was subject; and (iv) Executive has not been involved in any legal proceedings that would be required to be disclosed in response to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As an inducement to Executive to enter into this Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that there exist no impediments or restraints, contractual or otherwise, on the Company’s power, right or ability to enter into this Agreement and to perform its duties and obligations hereunder.

11.    Ownership of Works and Materials.

A.    Executive agrees that all Works (as defined below) and Materials (as defined below) are the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

C.    In the event that any Works or Materials are deemed not to be a work for hire, Executive agrees to assign, and does hereby irrevocably assign, to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to such Works and Materials.  Executive further agrees to take any actions, including the execution of documents or instruments, which the Company may reasonably require to effect Executive’s assignment of rights pursuant to this Item 11C, and Executive hereby constitutes and appoints, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, the Company as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any documents or instruments which Executive has agreed to execute and deliver pursuant to this Item 11C.

D.    Executive hereby waives and releases in favor of Company all rights in and to the Works and Materials and agrees that Company shall have the right to revise, condense, abridge, expand, adapt, change, modify, add to, subtract from, re-title or otherwise modify the Works and Materials without Executive’s consent.

E.    For purposes of this Item 11, “Works” means any work, studies, reports or analyses devised, developed, designed, formulated or reduced to writing by Executive at any time while Executive is or has been employed by the Company, including, without limitation any and all compositions or works of authorship, concepts, compilations, abridgments, or other form in which Executive may directly or indirectly recast, transform or adapt any of the foregoing.

F.    For purposes of this Item 11, “Materials” means any product, model, document, instrument, report, plan, proposal, specification, manual, tape, and all reproductions, copies or facsimiles thereof, or any other tangible item which in whole or in part contains, embodies or manifests, whether in printed, handwritten, coded, magnetic, digital or other form, any Works.

G.    In order to avoid any ambiguity in connection with the creation of any Work which Executive claims is not covered by this Agreement, Executive agrees to disclose in writing to the Company complete details on any Works that are devised, developed, designed, formulated or reduced to writing by Executive at any time while Executive is or has been employed by the Company.  Such disclosure shall be made promptly upon development, design or formulation with respect to any Works created while Executive is employed by the Company, and shall be disclosed in writing pursuant to such form as the Company may from time to time provide

12.    Business Opportunities. For so long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld by the Company in the exercise of its absolute discretion), engage, directly or indirectly, in any business, venture or activity that Executive is aware or reasonably should be aware that the Company or any affiliate of the Company is engaged in, intends at any time to become engaged in, or might become engaged in if offered the opportunity, or in any other business, venture or activity if the Company reasonably determines that such activity would adversely affect the business of the Company or any affiliate thereof or the performance by Executive of any of Executive’s duties or obligations to the Company.

13.    Privacy Waivers.

A.    The Company reserves the right to stop and search any employee or property of any employee when entering or leaving the Company’s premises.

B.    The Company reserves the right to monitor at any time telephone calls, electronic communications and information transmitted on Company networks or on computer equipment which is owned by the Company or on computers on Company premises that are used for Company business.

All notices required or sent hereunder shall be sent by personal delivery, by overnight priority mail via a nationally recognized overnight delivery company, or by certified mail, return receipt requested to the address of the party entitled to receive the notice as set forth above. Notices sent in accordance with this paragraph shall be deemed received upon personal delivery, one (1) business day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight delivery company or five (5) days after mailed, as aforesaid.

15.    Breach by the Company. If there is a dispute regarding the payment of any sum by the Company hereunder, the Company shall not be deemed to have failed to have made a payment hereunder if pending the resolution of such dispute, the Company pays the amount in

dispute into court or into an escrow account at the Company’s bank or with the Company’s counsel.

16.    Remedies Not Exclusive. The rights, remedies and benefits herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies or benefits which any party may otherwise have.

17.    Invalid Provisions. The invalidity of any one or more of the clauses or words contained in this Agreement shall not affect the reasonable enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, all of which are inserted herein conditionally upon being valid in law; and in the event that one or more of the words or clauses contained herein shall be invalid, this instrument shall be construed as if such invalid words or clauses had not been inserted or, alternatively, said words or clauses shall be reasonably limited to the extent that the applicable court interpreting the provisions of this Agreement considers to be reasonable.

18.    Binding Effect. This Agreement, as it relates to restrictions applicable to Executive, is a personal contract and the rights and interests of Executive hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated. However, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Company and its successors and assigns including, without limitation, any corporation or other entity into which Company is merged or which acquires all or substantially all of the outstanding ownership interests or assets of Company.

19.    Jurisdiction. Each of the undersigned further agrees that any action or proceeding brought or initiated in respect of this Agreement may be brought or initiated in the United States District Court for the State of Nevada or in any District Court located in Clark County, Nevada, and each of the undersigned consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction and the placement of venue in any of such courts, or in any jurisdiction allowed by law, in any such action or proceeding and further consents that service of process may be effected in any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 14.065 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or in such other manner as may be permitted by law. Each of the undersigned further agrees that no such action shall be brought against any party hereunder except in one of the courts above named.

21.    Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada other than its conflicts of laws principles. This Agreement contains the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings and negotiations relating to the same subject matter. This Agreement may only be modified by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto. No provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof. Failure to require strict compliance with any

term or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of a party’s right to insist upon strict compliance with each and every provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that or any other term of condition. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and same instrument. The provisions of Item 3 (the last paragraph), 6H, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 14 through 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company. This Agreement may be executed by any party by delivery of a facsimile signature, which signature shall have the same force as an original signature. Any party which delivers a facsimile signature shall promptly thereafter deliver an originally executed signature to the other party; provided, however, that the failure to deliver an original signature page shall not affect the validity of any signature delivered by facsimile. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be deemed to impart substantive meeting to any provision of this Agreement. Each party has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its choice in negotiating this Agreement. This Agreement shall therefore be deemed to have been negotiated and prepared at the joint request and direction of the parties, at arm’s length, with the advice and participation of counsel, and shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without favor to any party.

(b)    To the maximum extent permitted by law, Executive agrees that he has not filed, nor will he ever file, a lawsuit asserting any claims which are released by this Release.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release specifically excludes (i) any unpaid compensation or benefits accrued through the date of Executive’s termination of employment, (ii) Executive’s rights and the Company’s obligations under Items 6A, 6C and 6D (as applicable) of the Employment Agreement, (iii) claims for unemployment benefits, (iv) Executive’s vested account balance, if any, in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and (v) Executive’s

Nothing contained in this Release shall release Executive from his obligations, including any obligations to abide by restrictive covenants under the Employment Agreement or any other agreement that continue or are to be performed following termination of employment.

(d)    The parties agree that this Release shall not affect the rights and responsibilities of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (hereinafter “EEOC”) to enforce ADEA and other laws. In addition, the parties agree that this Release shall not be used to justify interfering with Executive’s protected right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC. The parties further agree that Executive knowingly and voluntarily waives all rights or claims (that arose prior to Executive’s execution of this Release) the Releasors may have against the Releasees, or any of them, to receive any benefit or remedial relief (including, but not limited to, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, damages, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees) as a consequence of any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC.

2.    Executive acknowledges that the Company has specifically advised him of the right to seek the advice of an attorney concerning the terms and conditions of this Release.

Revocation of this Release must be made in writing and must be received by [●] at [●] within the time period set forth above.

3.    This Release will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the state of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Nevada to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the state of Nevada will control the interpretation and construction of this agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. The provisions of this Release are severable, and if any part or portion of it is found to be unenforceable, the other paragraphs shall remain fully valid and enforceable. This Release shall become effective and enforceable on the eighth day following its execution by Executive, provided he does not exercise his right of revocation as described above. If Executive fails to sign and deliver this Release or revokes his signature, this Release will be without force or effect, and Executive shall not be entitled to those payments or benefits under Items 6A, 6C or 6D of the Employment Agreement, as applicable, which are conditioned upon the execution of this Release.
