Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

     On July 7, 2009, (i) American Airlines, Inc (“American”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as subordination agent (the “Subordination Agent”), pass through trustee under the pass through trust newly formed by American (the “Trustee”) and loan trustee (the “Loan Trustee”) entered into four separate but substantially identical participation agreements (each, a “Participation Agreement” and, collectively, the “Participation Agreements”) and (ii) American, the Subordination Agent, the Trustee, U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) under the Escrow Agreement (as defined below), and U.S. Bank Trust National Association as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) under the Escrow Agreement, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Participation Agreements provide for the issuance by American of equipment notes (the “Owned Aircraft Series A Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $153,678,000, secured by four Boeing 777-223ER aircraft (each, an “Owned Aircraft”) delivered new to American from 1999 to 2000. The Note Purchase Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, provides for the future issuance by American of equipment notes (the “New Aircraft Series A Equipment Notes” and, together with the Owned Aircraft Series A Equipment Notes, the “Series A Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $366,432,000 to be secured by 16 new Boeing 737-823 aircraft (each, a “New Aircraft” and, together with the Owned Aircraft, the “Aircraft”) to be selected by American from a pool of 59 new Boeing 737-823 aircraft scheduled for delivery to American from July 2009 to October 2010. Pursuant to the Participation Agreements, upon the financing of each Owned Aircraft on July 7, 2009, the Trustee purchased the related Series A Equipment Notes issued under an Indenture and Security Agreement (each, an “Owned Aircraft Indenture” and, collectively, the “Owned Aircraft Indentures”) entered into by American and the Loan Trustee with respect to such Owned Aircraft. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the form of Participation Agreement (“Form of Participation Agreement”) and form of Indenture and Security Agreement (“Form of Indenture” and, together with the Owned Aircraft Indentures, the “Indentures”), each attached as an exhibit thereto, at the financing of each New Aircraft, the Trustee will enter into a Participation Agreement substantially in the form of the Form of Participation Agreement and will purchase the related Series A Equipment Notes to be issued under an Indenture and Security Agreement substantially in the form of the Form of Indenture to be entered into by American and the Loan Trustee with respect to such New Aircraft. The Form of Participation Agreement and the Participation Agreements and the Form of Indenture and the Owned Aircraft Indentures are substantially identical in all material respects, except for differences set forth in Schedule I (filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1).

     Each Indenture contemplates the issuance of the related Series A Equipment Notes bearing interest at the rate of 10.375% per annum, in the aggregate principal amount (once all New Aircraft Series A Equipment Notes have been issued) equal to $520,110,000. The Series A Equipment Notes will be purchased by the Trustee, using the proceeds from the sale of Pass Through Certificates, Series 2009-1A (the “Class A Certificates”).

     Pending the purchase of the New Aircraft Series A Equipment Notes, proceeds in the aggregate amount of $366,432,000 from the sale of the Class A Certificates were placed in escrow by the Trustee pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2009, among the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent, the Underwriters (as defined below) and the Trustee (the “Escrow Agreement”). The escrowed funds were deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”) pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, dated July 7, 2009, between the Escrow Agent and the Depositary relating to the Class A Certificates.

     The interest on the Series A Equipment Notes and the escrowed funds is payable semiannually on each January 2 and July 2, beginning on January 2, 2010. The principal payments on the Series A Equipment Notes are scheduled for payment on January 2 and July 2 in certain years, beginning on January 2, 2010. Final payments will be due on July 2, 2019. Maturity of the Series A Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by American (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the applicable Indenture when due or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events involving American. The Series A Equipment Notes issued with respect to each Aircraft will be secured by a lien on such Aircraft and also will be cross-collateralized by the other Aircraft financed pursuant to the offering of the Class A Certificates.

     The Class A Certificates were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under American’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-136563 and 333-136563-01), (the “Registration Statement”). The Class A Certificates were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 29, 2009, among American and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). For a more detailed description of the agreements and instruments entered into by American with respect to the Class A Certificates, see the disclosure under the captions “Description of the Certificates”, “Description of the Deposit Agreement”, “Description of the Escrow Agreement”, “Description of the Class A Liquidity Facility”, “Description of the Intercreditor Agreement”, “Description of the Equipment Notes” and “Underwriting” contained in American’s final Prospectus Supplement, dated June 29, 2009 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the Prospectus, dated August 11, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2009 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which disclosure is hereby incorporated herein by reference and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant exhibit filed herewith.

AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

Pass Through Certificates, Series 2009-1A

Underwriting Agreement

June 29, 2009

To the Underwriters named in Schedule I

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), proposes that U.S. Bank Trust National Association, a national banking association (“U.S. Bank”)(as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National Association), acting not in its individual capacity but solely as successor pass through trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Pass Through Trust Agreement dated as of March 21, 2002 (the “Basic Agreement”), as supplemented for pass through certificates (the “Class A Certificates”) to be purchased hereunder by a Trust Supplement No. 2009-1A (the “Class A Trust Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement, as supplemented by the Class A Trust Supplement, being referred to herein as the “Class A Trust Agreement”), issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) its Class A Certificates in the aggregate amount and with the interest rate and final expected distribution date set forth on Schedule A hereto on the terms and conditions stated herein and in Schedule II.

          The Class A Certificates will represent interests in the Company’s 2009-1A Pass Through Trust (the “Class A Trust”) established pursuant to the Class A Trust Agreement to fund the purchase of equipment notes (the “Equipment Notes”) to be issued by the Company in connection with the financing of four Boeing 777-223ER aircraft owned by the Company (the “777-223ER Aircraft”) and sixteen Boeing 737-823 aircraft to be delivered to the Company on or October 31, 2010 (or later under certain circumstances)(the “737-823 Aircraft”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below), in the case of the 737-823 Aircraft, and the relevant participation agreements between the Company and U.S. Bank, as Trustee, Loan Trustee and Subordination Agent (each, a “Participation Agreement”), the Equipment Notes will be issued under twenty separate Indenture and Security Agreements between U.S. Bank, as Loan Trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), and the Company (each, including any supplements thereto, an “Indenture” and, collectively, the “Indentures”).

          A portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Class A Certificates in the arrangement specified in the Final Prospectus (as defined below) will be applied at the Closing Time (as defined below) to purchase the Equipment Notes in respect of the 777-223ER Aircraft. The remaining portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Class A Certificates will be paid to U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank N.A.”), acting as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), under an Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement among the Escrow Agent, the

Underwriters, the Trustee and U.S. Bank, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of the Class A Certificates (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agent will deposit such cash proceeds (the “Deposits”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”), in accordance with a deposit agreement relating to the Class A Trust (the “Deposit Agreement”), and will withdraw Deposits upon request to allow the Trustee of the Class A Trust to purchase Equipment Notes in respect of the 737-823 Aircraft from time to time pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Time (as defined below) among the Company, the Trustee and U.S. Bank, as the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) . With respect to each Class A Certificate, the Escrow Agent will issue a receipt to be attached to such Class A Certificate (each an “Escrow Receipt”) representing a fractional undivided interest of the holder of such Class A Certificate in amounts deposited with the Depository on behalf of the Escrow Agent and will pay to such holders through the Paying Agent interest accrued on the Deposits and received by such Paying Agent pursuant to the Deposit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such Class A Certificate.

          Certain amounts of interest payable on the Class A Certificates issued by the Class A Trust will be entitled to the benefits of a liquidity facility. Natixis S.A., acting via its New York Branch (the “Liquidity Provider”) will enter into a revolving credit agreement with respect to the Class A Trust (the “Liquidity Facility”), to be dated as of the Closing Time, for the benefit of the holders of the Class A Certificates. The Liquidity Provider and the holders of the Class A Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Time (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among the Trustee, U.S. Bank, as subordination agent and trustee thereunder (the “Subordination Agent”), and the Liquidity Provider.

When duly executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Class A Trust Agreement and sold and paid for as provided in this Agreement, the Class A Certificates will be validly issued pursuant to the Class A Trust Agreement and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity; and the holders of the Class A Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of the Class A Trust Agreement.

     (m) Equipment Notes are Valid and Binding Obligations.

not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that would not affect the validity of the Equipment Notes or the Class A Certificates; and the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the Equipment Notes and the Operative Documents to which the Company is, or is to be, a party, the consummation by the Company of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the terms hereof and thereof do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or a Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that, singly or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that would not affect the validity of the Equipment Notes or the Class A Certificates), or result in a violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as amended, or other constituting or organizational document of the Company, or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets, properties or operations, except, in each case, for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, that, singly or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that would not affect the validity of the Equipment Notes or the Class A Certificates. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment prior to the stated maturity or date of mandatory redemption or repayment thereof of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company.

     (o) Absence of Labor Dispute. Other than as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, no labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, which the Company expects to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (p) Absence of Proceedings. Other than as set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which, in the judgment of the Company, is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (q) Absence of Further Requirements. No consent, approval, authorization, order or license of, or filing with or notice to, any government, governmental instrumentality, regulatory body or authority or court, domestic or foreign, is required for the valid authorization, issuance and delivery of the Class A Certificates and the Equipment Notes, for the valid authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Equipment Notes and the Operative Documents to which the Company is, or is to be, a party, or for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Equipment Notes and the Operative Documents to

     (r) Investment Company Act. The Company is not, nor upon the issuance and sale of the Class A Certificates as contemplated by this Agreement and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus will be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), nor will the Class A Trust or the escrow arrangements relating to the Class A Trust contemplated by the Escrow Agreement be required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the 1940 Act.

     (s) Environmental Laws. There has been no storage, disposal, generation, manufacture, refinement, transportation, handling or treatment of toxic wastes, medical wastes, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances by the Company (or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its predecessors in interest), or at, upon or from any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company in violation of, and the Company has no liability under, any applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or which would require remedial action under any applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit applicable to the Company, except for any violation, liability or remedial action which would not have, or could not be reasonably likely to have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such violations, liabilities and remedial actions, a Material Adverse Effect; there has been no spill, discharge, leak, emission, injection, escape, dumping or release of any kind by the Company onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic wastes, medical wastes, solid wastes, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances due to or caused by the Company or with respect to which the Company has knowledge, except for any such spill, discharge, leak, emission, injection, escape, dumping or release which would not have or would not be reasonably likely to have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such spills, discharges, leaks, emissions, injections, escapes, dumpings and releases, a Material Adverse Effect. The terms “hazardous wastes,” “toxic wastes,” “hazardous substances” and “medical wastes” shall have the meanings specified in any applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws or regulations with respect to environmental protection or human health. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment, and hazardous and toxic substances and wastes, pollutants and contaminants (“Environmental Laws”) on the business, operations and properties of the Company, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities have not had and would

not, singularly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Parent and Company is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which either the Parent or the Company would have any liability; neither the Parent nor the Company has incurred and does not expect to incur liability under (A) Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (B) Section 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which either the Company or American would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which either the Parent or the Company reasonably expects would cause the loss of such qualification.

     (u) Insurance. The Company carries, or is covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its respective properties.

     (v) Taxes. The Company has filed all federal, state and local income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof, except for such exceptions as would not individually or collectively have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due thereon, except such as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company which has had, nor does the Company have any knowledge of any tax deficiency which, if determined adversely to the Company, might have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     (w) Internal Controls. The Company (A) makes and keeps accurate books and records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company, and (B) maintains internal accounting controls which provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for its assets, (iii) access to its assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for its assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals. The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely

affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

     (x) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

     (y) No Unlawful Payments. The Company has implemented compliance programs for purposes of (i) informing the appropriate officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries of (A) the Company’s policies against (1) the use of corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (2) direct or indirect unlawful payments to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (3) violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and (4) making any bribes, rebates, payoffs, influence payments kickbacks or other unlawful payments and (ii) requiring such officers and employees to report to the Company any knowledge they may have of violations of the Company’s policies referred to above and no such reports have been made.

     (z) No Brokerage Commission; Finder’s Fee. To the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or the Underwriters for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with this offering.

     (aa) Reporting Company. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     (bb) Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A)(i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), and (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Securities Act, the Company was a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405, including not having been an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405; and (B) at the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within

the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405.

     (cc) Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company possesses such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies and third parties, governmental or otherwise, necessary to conduct the business now operated by them as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, except for such failures to possess Licenses as would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; the Company is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Licenses or the failure of such Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (dd) Compliance with Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with all applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), and the applicable anti-money laundering statutes of jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries conduct business, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Anti-Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

     Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby as of the date or dates indicated in such certificate.

Concurrently with the issuance of the Class A Certificates, the Escrow Agent shall issue and deliver to the

Trustee the Escrow Receipts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, which Escrow Receipts shall be attached to the related Class A Certificates.

     (b) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Class A Certificates (with attached Escrow Receipts) shall be made at the date, time and location or locations specified in Schedule II, or at such other date, time or location or locations as shall be agreed upon by the Company and you, or as shall otherwise be provided in Section 7 (such date and time being herein called the “Closing Time”).

Certificates for such Class A Certificates (with attached Escrow Receipts), which may be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging by you at the location or locations at which they are to be delivered at the Closing Time (or such other location as may be specified for that purpose in Schedule II) not later than 10:00 A.M. on the business day prior to the Closing Time.

     (c) The Company will pay to the Representatives at the Closing Time for the accounts of the Underwriters any fee, commission or other compensation which is specified in Schedule II hereto. Such payment will be made by federal funds wire transfer or other immediately available funds.

     3. Covenants. The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

     (a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will (x) prepare the Final Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and which sets forth the face amount of the Class A Certificates and their terms not otherwise specified in the basic prospectus relating to all offerings of pass through certificates under the Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter participating in the offering and the face amount of the Class A Certificates that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Class A Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and reallowance, and such other information as you and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Class A Certificates and (y) file all material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such rule. The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Final Prospectus as you shall reasonably request.

     (b) During the period when a prospectus (or in lieu, thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act (“Rule 173(a)”) relating to the Class A Certificates

is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, the Company will promptly advise you of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Final Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference therein, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Class A Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

     (c) If, at any time when a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Class A Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 3, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance and the Company will use its reasonable efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Class A Certificates). Neither your consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.

     (d) At any time when a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Class A Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company will give you notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise, will furnish you with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed within a reasonable time in advance of filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which you shall reasonably object.

     (e) The Company has furnished or will furnish, if requested, to you and your counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of all amendments thereto, whether filed before or after such Registration Statement originally became effective (including exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference) and the copies of the Original Registration Statement and each

amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. So long as delivery of a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) by the Underwriter may be required by the Securities Act, the Company will furnish as many copies of any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as you may reasonably request and the Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to each Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T or required under Rule 424(e).

     (f) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Class A Certificates for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required in connection with the distribution of the Class A Certificates; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

     (g) The Company intends to use the proceeds received by it from the sale of the Equipment Notes in the manner to be indicated in the Final Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

     (h) The Company shall cooperate with the Underwriters and use its reasonable efforts to permit the Class A Certificates to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC.

     (i) The Company, during the period when a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Class A Certificates is required to be delivered, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.

     (j) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of each Underwriter, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Class A Certificates that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Underwriters is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 as applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

     (k) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Time, the Company will not, without your prior consent, offer, sell or enter into any agreement to sell any public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Class A Certificates) or any debt securities which may be sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act.

     The Representatives agree that in the aggregative, the Pass Through Certificates will be widely offered. Each Underwriter and each other member of the underwriting group that offers or sells Pass Through Certificates agree that the Pass Through Certificates offered by such Underwriter and such other member of the underwriting group will be primarily offered in the United States to United States persons. The term “United States person” shall have the meaning set forth in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

          If any condition specified in this Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, other than by reason of any default by any Underwriter, such failure to fulfill a condition may be waived by you, or this Agreement may be terminated by you by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof, which provisions shall remain in effect notwithstanding such termination.

          5. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including (i) expenses relating to the preparation, printing, filing and distribution of the Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) expenses relating to the preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, the Class A Certificates, the Equipment Notes, the Operative Documents, any Underwriter’s Questionnaire or related matters, the Blue Sky Survey and any Legal Investment Survey by the Underwriter’s counsel, (iii) expenses relating to the issuance and delivery of the Class A Certificates to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (v) expenses of qualifying the Class A Certificates under state securities laws in accordance with Section 3(f), including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the Blue Sky Survey and any Legal Investment Survey, (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Loan Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and the Depositary, and the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Class A Certificates, (viii) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Class A Certificates, (ix) any costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Class A Certificates, (x) certain fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters as heretofore agreed, and (xi) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the listing of the Class A Certificates on any securities exchange. The Company will also cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under the Operative Documents and each of the other agreements and instruments referred to therein.

          If this Agreement is terminated by you in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 9(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, incurred by them in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement.

          6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (1) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment to the Registration Statement), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make

the statements therein not misleading, or (2) arise out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the General Disclosure Package or in the Final Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in each case, agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or made in those parts of the Registration Statement constituting a Statement of Eligibility under the TIA of a trustee on Form T-1, and (ii) the Company shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect thereto is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the extent that such consent is not required pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

          (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a), but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information provided by any Underwriter consists of (i) the statements with respect to the offering of the Class A Certificates by the Underwriters in the third sentence of the second full paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, (ii) the statements with respect to the offering of the Class A Certificates by the Underwriters set forth in the fourth full paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, (iii) the statements with respect to marketing activities by the Underwriters for the Class A Certificates in the third and fourth sentences of the fifth full paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and (iv) the statements with respect to stabilization and over-allotment of the Class A Certificates by the Underwriters (with respect to themselves only) in the ninth and tenth full paragraphs under the caption

“Underwriting” in the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party or parties in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party or parties will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of the election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) of this Section 6 who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel payable pursuant to this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment of the nature contemplated by clause (ii) of the

proviso in Section 6(a) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid notice of request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment.

          (e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Class A Certificates pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Class A Certificates pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Class A Certificates pursuant to this Agreement (net of underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in each case as set forth on the cover of the Final Prospectus, bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Class A Certificates as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Class A Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of

the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Class A Certificates set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint.

          7. Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase and pay for any of the Class A Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate face amount of Class A Certificates specified to be purchased by them in Schedule I bears to the aggregate face amount of Class A Certificates to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Class A Certificates which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate face amount of Class A Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate face amount of Class A Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Class A Certificates, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not complete such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7 that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Closing Time shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and to any nondefaulting Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

          8. Representations, Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Underwriter or any controlling person of either and shall survive delivery of any Class A Certificates to the Underwriters.

          9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated immediately upon notice from you to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or

not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets or any other calamity or crisis the effect of any of which on the financial markets is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Class A Certificates or enforce contracts for the sale of the Class A Certificates, or (iii) if trading in the securities of the Parent has been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by said exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect.

          10. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to the Underwriters as set forth in Schedule I or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to it at P.O. Box 619616, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Texas 75261-9616, facsimile no. (817) 967-2199, attention of the Treasurer.

          11. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 hereof and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Class A Certificates from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

          12. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Class A Certificates contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Additionally, no Underwriter is advising the Company or any of its subsidiaries as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering of the Class A Certificates or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is advising the Parent or the Company on other matters). Each Underwriter advises that it and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities and financial services and that it and its affiliates may enter into contractual relationships with purchasers or potential purchasers of the Parent’s or the Company’s securities and that some of these services or relationships may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and need not be disclosed to the Company, unless otherwise required by law. The Company has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and

shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Underwriter shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim.

          13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          14. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and when a counterpart has been executed by each party hereto all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Each Class A Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Class A Certificate that it will, upon payment from such Class B Certificateholder(s) or Refinancing Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except as to its own acts) all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Class A Certificateholder in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Class A Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all Class A Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by such Class A Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs occurring prior to such sale) and the purchaser(s) shall assume all of such Class A Certificateholder’s obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Class A Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Class A Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Class A Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of any Class A Certificateholder to deliver any Class A Certificate and, upon such a purchase, (i) the Class A Certificateholders shall have no further rights with respect to the Class A Certificates and (ii) if the purchaser(s) shall so request, each such Class A Certificateholder will comply with all the provisions of Section 3.04 of the Basic Agreement and the applicable provisions of this Trust Supplement to enable new Class A Certificates to be issued to the purchaser(s) in such denominations otherwise authorized under this Agreement as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Class A Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser(s) thereof.

          (b) This Section 6.01 supplements and, to the extent inconsistent with any provision of Section 6.01(d) of the Basic Agreement, replaces the provisions of Section 6.01(d) of the Basic Agreement.

Each Certificateholder of, and each Person acquiring a beneficial interest in, a Class A Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class A Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class A Trust as a grantor trust for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Class A Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for such tax purposes (including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft by bidding the Equipment Notes relating thereto or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired).

Upon repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full or in part of the amount of any Interest Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest thereon (as provided herein), the Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Interest Advance so repaid, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be so reinstated at any time if (x) both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) a Final Advance, a Downgrade Advance, a Non-Extension Advance or a Special Termination Advance shall have occurred.

Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex V, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.05(f) and Section 3.05(k) of the Intercreditor Agreement).

          (e) Each Borrowing shall be made by notice in writing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or before 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Liquidity Provider at the address and in the manner specified in Section 7.02 hereof.

          (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Class A Trustee or any Class A Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.

     Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

     Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

          (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance, Special Termination Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

     Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a) on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being an “Applied Special Termination Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07.

     Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.05(c), 3.05(d), 3.05(e) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y), in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07.

          (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances and Applied Special Termination Advances (and of Provider Advances and Special Termination Advances treated as Interest Advances for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances and Special Termination Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

     Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

     Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

     Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(i) and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE III

OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

     Section 3.01 Increased Costs. Without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.03, if as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make any such LIBOR Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an “Increased Cost”), then, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 120 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount of the Increased Costs for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Excluded Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to take any action that is not materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, such notice fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider’s jurisdiction of organization or in which its Lending Office is located and pending as of the date of this Agreement; (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01 or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions related to the airline industry.

     Section 3.02 Intentionally omitted.

     Section 3.03 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, then, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.01, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit.

     The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes.

          (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.

     If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.

     Section 3.04 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Natixis S.A., acting

(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

via its New York branch, at JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, New York, NY, ABA No. [            ], For Account of Natixis, NY Branch, Account #:[            ], Reference to: AMR EETC 2009-1; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent.

     Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

     Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next Interest Payment Date for such Advance.

     Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii), to the extent permitted by law, any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day that such amount remains overdue and unpaid equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.

          (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that a Provider Advance shall always be a LIBOR Advance unless the Borrower elects otherwise.

          (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid.

          (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

          (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings plus the Applicable Margin on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum until paid.

          (g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. If such notice is given, then the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one per cent (1.00%). The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Advances effective as the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such withdrawal. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.

(2009-1 Aircraft EETC)

     Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VIII (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

     Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

     (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

     (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.

     Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will or to its knowledge is reasonably likely to lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10; provided that a failure by the Liquidity Provider to notify the Borrower or American of an event that is reasonably likely to lead to such a conversion prior to the time that it is determined that such event will lead to such a conversion shall not prejudice the rights of the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need

for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

have the right to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, subject to the Liquidity Provider’s right to grant Participations pursuant to Section 7.08(b).

          (b) The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will not grant any participation (including, without limitation, a “risk participation”) (any such participation, a “Participation”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder or under the other Operative Agreements, unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Participation is to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) such Participation is made in accordance with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and any other applicable laws relating to the transfer of similar interests and (iii) such Participation shall not be made under circumstances that require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii), the applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

          (d) Non-Extension Drawings. If any Liquidity Facility with respect to any Class of Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent shall request in writing that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of such

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)

Liquidity Provider thereunder are earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility). Whether or not the applicable Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, such Liquidity Provider shall by notice (the “Consent Notice”) to the Subordination Agent, during the period commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date (or if earlier, the date of such Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Subordination Agent) and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to such Stated Expiration Date (the “Consent Period”) advise the Subordination Agent whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Stated Expiration Date; provided that such extension shall not be effective with respect to such Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period, such Liquidity Provider revokes its Consent Notice. If a Liquidity Provider advises the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall not be so extended or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall be so extended or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period (and, in each case, if such Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e)), the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which the Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter but prior to the Stated Expiration Date), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f). If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing and, within 30 days thereafter, the applicable Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time following the 45th day after such Non-Extension Drawing, such Liquidity Provider may, by written notice to the Subordination Agent, agree to reinstate the applicable Liquidity Facility on the terms of the existing related Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event such Liquidity Provider shall reimburse the Subordination Agent for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the Subordination Agent in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Drawing and funding the Cash Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Drawing.

          (e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility.  (i) Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii) and the agreements, if any, in the applicable Fee Letter, at any time, American may, at its option and at its own expense, with cause or without cause, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.05(e)(ii)). If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Special Termination Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account resulting from such Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced.

          (ii) If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend its Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(d), then such Liquidity Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace such Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility. At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)
AA Aircraft EETC

under any Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider thereunder may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.

          (iii) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by American or a Liquidity Provider in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to Section 3.05(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a “Liquidity Facility” under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.05(e)(ii) or pursuant to Section 3.05(c), such Replacement Liquidity Facility is reasonably acceptable to American.

          (iv) In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such Replacement Liquidity Facility will not cause a reduction, withdrawal or suspension of any rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to Section 3.05(c)), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the applicable Cash Collateral Account as described in Section 3.05(f), and thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) and (z) cause the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility to deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility is an enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity Provider.

          (v) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.05(e) with respect to a Replacement Liquidity Facility, (1) the replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (2) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by American or the Liquidity Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility and any associated Fee Letter, (3) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to (a) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider and (b) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility, and (4) the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

          (f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the event the Subordination Agent shall draw all Available Amounts under the Class A Liquidity Facility or

All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

          On each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account with respect to any Liquidity Facility (or in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, so long as no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture, a fraction of such Investment Earnings equal to the Section 2.04 Fraction) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, the Special Payments Account) and applied on such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) in accordance with Section 3.02 or 3.03 (as applicable). The Subordination Agent shall deliver a written statement to American and each Liquidity Provider one day prior to each Interest Payment Date and Special Distribution Date setting forth the aggregate amount of Investment Earnings held in the Cash Collateral Accounts as of such date. In addition, from and after the date funds are so deposited, the Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such accounts as follows:

     (i) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued and unpaid interest due and owing on the Class A Certificates (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate for the Class A Certificates) after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, withdraw from the Class A Cash Collateral Account, and pay to the Class A Trustee, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount necessary to pay accrued and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class A Certificates) on the Class A Certificates and (y) the amount on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account;

     (iii) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class A Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof or pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class A Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the reduction of the

     (iv) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class B Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class B Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account on such date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class B Liquidity Facility) plus (if on a Distribution Date not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date) Investment Earnings on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any such transfer of Investment Earnings) will be on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account and shall deposit such withdrawn amount in the Collection Account;

     (v) if a Replacement Liquidity Facility for any relevant Class of Certificates shall be delivered to the Subordination Agent following the date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash Collateral Account for such Class of Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts remaining on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and shall pay such amounts to the replaced Liquidity Provider, if any, until all Liquidity Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full, and deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account; and

     (vi) following the (x) payment of Final Distributions or (y) the Final Legal Distribution Date with respect to any Class of Certificates covered by a Liquidity Facility, on the date on which the Subordination Agent shall have been notified by the Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates that the Liquidity Obligations owed to such Liquidity Provider have been paid in full, or, if earlier, the first Business Day after such Final Legal Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of such Class of Certificates, if any, and shall deposit such amounts in the Collection Account.

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)

all or any part of the amount of such Interest Drawing, together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Interest Drawing so reimbursed to the applicable Liquidity Provider but not to exceed the Stated Amount for such Liquidity Facility; provided, however, that the Available Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in part or in full at any time if (x) both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant Liquidity Facility or (y) a Final Drawing, Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Special Termination Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility or an Interest Drawing shall have been converted into a Final Drawing. In the event that, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, (i) funds are withdrawn from the related Cash Collateral Account pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 3.05(f) or (ii) such Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero, then funds received by the Subordination Agent at any time, other than (x) any time when both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Liquidity Facility or (y) any time after a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account as and to the extent provided in clause “fourth” or clause “thirteenth”, as the case may be, of Section 3.02 and applied in accordance with Section 3.05(f).

          (j) Adjustments of Stated Amount. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a relevant Class of Certificates is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance with respect to such Certificates or otherwise, the Subordination Agent shall, if any such Liquidity Facility provides for reductions of the Stated Amount of such Liquidity Facility and if such reductions are not automatic, request such Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates to reduce such Stated Amount to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect to such Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the Subordination Agent after giving effect to such payment). Each such request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Liquidity Facility.

          (k) Special Termination Drawing. Upon receipt from a Liquidity Provider of a Special Termination Notice with respect to any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in such Special Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder (a “Special Termination Drawing”). Amounts drawn pursuant

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)
AA Aircraft EETC

to a Special Termination Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f) hereof.

          (l) Relation to Subordination Provisions. Interest Drawings under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Accounts, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates of any Class, will be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of Certificates, notwithstanding Sections 2.01(b) and 3.02.

          Section 4.01. Directions from the Controlling Party.  (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holders of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. Subject to Section 4.01(a)(iii), if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as the Controlling Party may reasonably deem advisable and in accordance with applicable law.

          (ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including American) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).

          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of an American Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee (other than the Trustee of

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)
AA Aircraft EETC

any Trust all of the Certificates of which are held or beneficially owned by American and/or its Affiliates), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

For so long as any Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if an American Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal) and shall (acting on behalf of each Trustee) post such Appraisals on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such Appraisals available to all Certificateholders.

          (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.

          (c) If following an American Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of American to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent, each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, unless such Liquidity Provider has made a Final Advance, notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall post such terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such terms and conditions available to all Certificateholders. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee and the Class A Liquidity Provider unless the Class A Liquidity Provider has made a Final Drawing, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (a “Restructuring Arrangement”) (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)
AA Aircraft EETC

Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of American unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is to be effective on or as of any date occurring during the 60-Day Period and that is initially effective for a period not exceeding three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period (an “Interim Restructuring Arrangement”)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c): (i) shall not apply to any extension of a Restructuring Arrangement with respect to which such provisions have been complied with in connection with the original entry thereof if the possibility of such extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Restructuring Arrangement and (ii) shall apply to the initial extension of an Interim Restructuring Arrangement beyond the three months following the expiry of the 60-Day Period but not to any subsequent extension of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement, if the possibility of such subsequent extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such subsequent extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement. In the event that any Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of  its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft, unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

          Section 4.02. Remedies Cumulative.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

          Section 4.03. Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be

restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

          Section 4.04. Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.02) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

          Section 8.01. Amendments, Waivers, Etc.  (a) This Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of each Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 3.05(e)(v) or any amendment contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 8.01(a), with the consent of holders of Outstanding Certificates of the related Class evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests in the related Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement (including, without limitation, without the consent of the Certificateholders to the extent permitted thereby, Section 9.01 thereof)), the Subordination Agent and each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee or the Subordination Agent in order (i) to cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct any mistake, (ii) to correct or supplement any provision, or (iii) to make any other provision in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder that will not materially adversely affect the interests of any Trustee or the holders of the related Class of Certificates, and without the consent of any Liquidity Provider if such supplement, amendment or modification is in accordance with Section 8.01(c) or 8.01(d); provided further, however, that, if such supplement, amendment or modification (x) would directly or indirectly amend, modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.02(b), 3.05(c), 3.05(e), 3.05(f), 3.05(m), 4.01(a)(ii) or 4.01(c), this proviso of Section 8.01(a), the last sentence of Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(c), 8.01(d) or 9.06 (collectively, the “American Provisions”), (y) would otherwise affect the interests of any potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or replacement Depositary or of American with respect to American’s ability to replace any Liquidity Facility or the Depositary or with respect to American’s payment obligations under any Operative Agreement or (z) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8.01(a) or pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or pursuant to Section 8.01(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of American.

If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility is to be comprised of more than one instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term

Intercreditor Agreement (2009-1)
AA Aircraft EETC

“Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each party hereto agrees to amend this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for a single Trust.

          (b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued or the related Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each series of such Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee and (ii) if any Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights as directed by the Controlling Party, subject to Sections 4.01 and 4.04.

          (c) If Series B Equipment Notes with respect to all of the Aircraft for which Series B Equipment Notes are at the time outstanding are redeemed and new Equipment Notes of corresponding series are to be issued in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(b) of each Indenture and Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, such series of new Equipment Notes (the “Refinancing Equipment Notes”) shall be issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Refinancing Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a “Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing Certificates shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificates of the Class corresponding to the series of the refinanced Equipment Notes, including, the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates to the extent provided herein to the

     (iv) the Refinancing Certificates cannot be issued to American but may be issued to any of American’s Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Refinancing Certificates to any Affiliate of American shall be similarly restricted; and

     (v) the scheduled payment dates on the Refinancing Equipment Notes shall be the Regular Distribution Dates.

          The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 8.01(c) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of Class A Certificates. Each Liquidity Provider hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 8.01(c) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the applicable Liquidity Facility, provided that a condition to the issuance of any Refinancing Certificates shall be the payment in full of all amounts owed to the Class B Liquidity Provider, if any, and the termination of the Class B Liquidity Facility, if any, upon the issuance of the Refinancing Certificates.

          (iii) the Class B Certificates may be rated by the Rating Agencies;

          The issuance of the Class B Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 8.01(d) shall not require the consent of any of the Class A Trustee or the Class A Certificateholders. The Class A Liquidity Provider hereby agrees and confirms that it

parties hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts together constitute one instrument.

          Section 9.09. Subordination.  (a) As between the Liquidity Providers, on the one hand, and the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees) and the Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders), on the other hand, and as among the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees) and the related Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders) this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if prior to the payment in full to the Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity Obligations then due and payable any party hereto shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of Equipment Notes or any other amount under the Indentures or other Operative Agreements which, had the subordination provisions of this Agreement been properly applied to such payment, distribution or other amount, would not have been distributed to such Person, then such payment, distribution or other amount shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the Subordination Agent for application as provided herein.

          (c) If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider or the Subordination Agent receives any payment in respect of any obligations owing or amounts distributable hereunder (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, in respect of the Liquidity Obligations), which is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such obligations or amounts (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, such Liquidity Obligations) intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

          (d) The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent expressly confirm and agree that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply in all circumstances, notwithstanding (x) the fact that the obligations owed to the Trustees are secured by certain assets and the Liquidity Obligations may not be so secured or (y) the occurrence of an American Bankruptcy Event or any similar event or occurrence relating to any other Person (it being expressly agreed that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply whether or not a claim for post-petition or post-filing interest is allowed in the proceedings resulting from such American Bankruptcy Event or other event or occurrence). The Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over the holders of Liquidity Obligations (except as specifically set forth in Section 3.02) due to their status as secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding.

          (e) Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent may take any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this Agreement:

     (i) obtain a Lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, the Liquidity Obligations;

     (ii) obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations;

     (iii) renew, extend, increase, alter or exchange any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor with respect thereto;

     (iv) refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in exercising any right or remedy, which it may have; or

     (v) take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement.

          Section 9.10. Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

          Section 9.11. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity.  (a) Each of the parties hereto, to the extent it may do so under applicable law, for purposes hereof and of all other Operative Agreements hereby (i) irrevocably submits itself to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any party or parties hereto or thereto, or their successors or permitted assigns and (ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts.

          (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each of the parties warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN

WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

          (c) To the extent that any Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, each of the Class A Liquidity Provider and, upon the accession hereto, the Class B Liquidity Provider, hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.

          Section 9.12. Non-Petition. The Liquidity Providers covenant that until one year and one day after the Equipment Notes have been paid in full, they shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing any Trust or any other Person to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case (whether voluntary or not) against such Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Trust or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Trust.
