ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On August 15, 2019, American Airlines, Inc. (the “Company” or “American”), Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee under certain pass through trusts newly formed by the Company (the “Trustee”) and as subordination agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) under the Escrow Agreements (as defined below), and Wilmington Trust Company, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) under the Escrow Agreements, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, provides for the future issuance by American of equipment notes (the “Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,096,508,000 to be secured by (a) six Airbus A321-231S aircraft delivered new to American between December 2015 and May 2016 (each, an “Airbus A321CEO Aircraft”), three Boeing 737-800 aircraft delivered new to American from January 2016 to February 2016 (each, a “Boeing 737 Aircraft”), three Boeing 787-8 aircraft delivered new to American in May 2015 and February 2016 (each, a “Boeing 787 Aircraft”) and nine Embraer E175LR aircraft delivered new to American from April 2015 to July 2019 (each, an “Owned Embraer 175 Aircraft” and, together with each Airbus A321CEO Aircraft, each Boeing 737 Aircraft and each Boeing 787 Aircraft, each, an “Owned Aircraft” and, collectively, the “Owned Aircraft”); and (b) seven newly manufactured Embraer E175LR aircraft currently scheduled for delivery to American during the period from September 2019 to January 2020 (each such aircraft, including any aircraft substituted therefor prior to the delivery thereof in accordance with the applicable aircraft purchase agreement, a “New Embraer 175 Aircraft”) and seven newly manufactured Airbus A321-253NX aircraft currently scheduled for delivery to American during the period from June 2020 to September 2020 (each such aircraft, including any aircraft substituted therefor prior to the delivery thereof in accordance with the applicable aircraft purchase agreement, an “Airbus A321NEO Aircraft” and, together with each New Embraer 175 Aircraft, each, a “New Aircraft” and, collectively, the “New Aircraft” and the Owned Aircraft and New Aircraft are each referred to as an “Aircraft” and, collectively, the “Aircraft”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Trustee will enter into a Participation Agreement substantially in the form of the form of Participation Agreement (“Form of Participation Agreement”) attached as an exhibit to the Note Purchase Agreement and will purchase the Equipment Notes to be issued under an Indenture and Security Agreement substantially in the form of the form of Indenture and Security Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Note Purchase Agreement (each, an “Indenture” and collectively, the “Indentures”) to be entered into by American and Wilmington Trust Company, as loan trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), with respect to each Aircraft.

Each Indenture contemplates the issuance of Equipment Notes in three series: Series AA, bearing interest at the rate of 3.15% per annum (the “Series AA Equipment Notes”), Series A, bearing interest at the rate of 3.50% per annum (the “Series A Equipment Notes”) and Series B, bearing interest at 3.85% per annum (the “Series B Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount (once all the Equipment Notes have been issued) equal to $578,712,000, in the case of Series AA Equipment Notes, $289,358,000, in the case of Series A Equipment Notes, and $228,438,000, in the case of Series B Equipment Notes. The Equipment Notes will be purchased by the Trustee, using the proceeds from the sale of American Airlines Class AA Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1 (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class AA Certificates”), American Airlines Class A Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1 (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class A Certificates”) and American Airlines Class B Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1 (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class B Certificates,” and together with the Class AA Certificates and Class A Certificates, the “Certificates” and each series of the Certificates, a “Class”).

Pending the purchase of the Equipment Notes, the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates of each Class were placed in escrow by the Trustee pursuant to separate Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements, each dated as of August 15, 2019, among the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), as representatives of the Underwriters (as defined below), and the Trustee (each, an “Escrow Agreement” and, collectively, the “Escrow Agreements”). The escrowed funds were deposited with Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”) under a separate deposit agreement for each Class of Certificates, each dated as of August 15, 2019, between the Escrow Agent and the Depositary. National Australia Bank Limited, as liquidity provider, will provide a separate liquidity facility for each of the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, in each case in an amount sufficient to make three semiannual interest distributions on the outstanding balance of the Certificates of such Class.


The interest on the issued and outstanding Equipment Notes and the escrowed funds, as the case may be, will be payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2020. The principal payments on the issued and outstanding Equipment Notes are scheduled for payment in specified amounts on February 15 and August 15 of each year commencing on February 15, 2020, in the case of Owned Aircraft, on August 15, 2020 in the case of New Embraer 175 Aircraft and on August 15, 2021 in the case of Airbus A321 NEO Aircraft. Final payments with respect to the Series AA Equipment Notes and the Series A Equipment Notes will be due on February 15, 2032 and, with respect to the Series B Equipment Notes, will be due on February 15, 2028. Maturity of the 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 Equipment Notes issued with respect to each Aircraft will be secured by a lien on such Aircraft and cross-collateralized by the other Aircraft financed pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

The 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 No. 333-216167-01), (the “Registration Statement”). The Class AA Certificates, Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2019, among Citigroup and Credit Suisse, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), American and the Depositary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any Operative Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.01 may not be amended in any manner without the consent of each Class AA Certificateholder, each Class A Certificateholder, each Class B Certificateholder and each Additional Certificateholder (if any) or, as the case may be, each Refinancing Certificateholder (if any) (in each case, other than the Company or any of its Affiliates in its respective capacity as a Certificateholder) that would be adversely affected thereby; provided that the purchase price under Section 6.01(a) (as in effect on the date hereof) for any Certificate held by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not be modified without the prior written consent of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Certificate Buy-Out Event ceases to exist and another Certificate Buy-Out Event occurs and is continuing, the purchase rights set forth in this Section 6.01 shall be revived notwithstanding any exercise of such rights during the continuance of any preceding Certificate Buy-Out Event.

Section 9.05 Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that the Class AA Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. Each Certificateholder of, and each Person acquiring a beneficial interest in, a Class AA Certificate, by its acceptance of its Class AA Certificate or a beneficial interest therein, agrees to treat the Class AA 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 AA 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).

Section 9.06 Submission to Jurisdiction. 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, (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, (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 12.04 of the Basic Agreement, or at such other address of which the other parties shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT ________, for value received, is the registered owner of a $______ (______ dollars) Fractional Undivided Interest (or such lesser amounts as shall be the aggregate outstanding face amount hereof as set forth in the records of the Trustee) in the American Airlines Pass Through Trust 2019-1AA (Aircraft EETC) (the “Trust”) created by Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (together with any successor in interest and any successor or other trustee appointed pursuant to the Trust Supplement referred to below, the “Trustee”) under a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “Basic Agreement”), between Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company, and American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor in interest pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Basic Agreement, the “Company”), as supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2019-1AA (Aircraft EETC) thereto, dated as of August 15, 2019 (collectively with the Basic Agreement, and as may be amended from time to time, the “Agreement”), between the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1AA (Aircraft EETC)” (herein called the “Certificates”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the Certificateholder of this Certificate assents to and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the subordination provisions of Section 9.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Trust Property is expected to include certain Equipment Notes and includes all rights of the Trust and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to receive any payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Class AA Liquidity Facility. Each issue of the Equipment Notes will be secured by, among other things, a security interest in the Aircraft owned by the Company.

To be included on the face of each Global Certificate.

 

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1AA
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property, and will have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on each February 15 and each August 15 (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”), commencing on February 15, 2020, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Series AA Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Series AA Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Series AA Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail (or, in the case of Global Certificates, send electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distributions shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed (or, in the case of Global Certificates, sent electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company, the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, any Loan Trustee or any Affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for any payment or

 

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1AA
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee, the Loan Trustees or any Affiliate of any thereof except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 (or such other denomination that is the lowest integral multiple of $1,000 that is, at the time of issuance, equal to at least 1,000 euros) Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1AA
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


Each Certificateholder and Person with a beneficial interest herein, by its acceptance of this Certificate or such interest, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.

Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to (a) represent and warrant to the Company, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee that either: (i) no assets of a Plan or any trust established with respect to a Plan have been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or interest herein by such Person are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code or provisions of Similar Law pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions or similar exemptions under Similar Law; and (b) direct the Trustee to invest the assets held in the Trust pursuant to, and take all other actions contemplated by, the terms and conditions of the Basic Agreement, this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the NPA and each Participation Agreement.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE AGREEMENT 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.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

(to Issuer Letter of Representations)

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE

DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE

(Prepared by DTC–bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)

1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]

2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner ”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

 

ILOR 06-2013


SCHEDULE A

(to Issuer Letter of Representations)

5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]

[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]

7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [ Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]

10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Each counterpart of this Trust Supplement including a signature page or pages executed by each of the parties hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Trust Supplement, but all of such counterparts together constitute one instrument.

Section 9.05 Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that the Class A Trust be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership.

The Trust Property is expected to include certain Equipment Notes and includes all rights of the Trust and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to receive any payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Class A Liquidity Facility.

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1A
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property, and will have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on each February 15 and each August 15 (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”), commencing on February 15, 2020, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Series A Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Series A Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Series A Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail (or, in the case of Global Certificates, send electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distributions shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed (or, in the case of Global Certificates, sent electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company, the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, any Loan Trustee or any Affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for any payment or

 

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1A
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee, the Loan Trustees or any Affiliate of any thereof except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 (or such other denomination that is the lowest integral multiple of $1,000 that is, at the time of issuance, equal to at least 1,000 euros) Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

      Trust Supplement No. 2019-1A
      American Airlines Aircraft EETC


Each Certificateholder and Person with a beneficial interest herein, by its acceptance of this Certificate or such interest, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.

Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to (a) represent and warrant to the Company, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee that either: (i) no assets of a Plan or any trust established with respect to a Plan have been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or interest herein by such Person are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code or provisions of Similar Law pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions or similar exemptions under Similar Law; and (b) direct the Trustee to invest the assets held in the Trust pursuant to, and take all other actions contemplated by, the terms and conditions of the Basic Agreement, this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the NPA and each Participation Agreement.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE AGREEMENT 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.

One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]

2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner ”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

SCHEDULE A

(to Issuer Letter of Representations)

5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]

[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]

7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [ Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]

10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

(b) On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time to time, and in accordance with Section 1(b) of the NPA, to the Trustee a Funding Notice relating to one or more Series B Equipment Notes.

The Trustee shall hold the Special Payments Account in trust for the benefit of the Class B Certificateholders and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in the Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement. On each day when one or more Special Payments are made to the Trustee under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, upon receipt thereof, shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Special Payments in the Special Payments Account.”

The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property, and will have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on each February 15 and each August 15 (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”), commencing on February 15, 2020, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Series B Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Series B Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Series B Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail (or, in the case of Global Certificates, send electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distributions shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed (or, in the case of Global Certificates, sent electronically in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures) by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company, the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, any Loan Trustee or any Affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for any payment or

distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee, the Loan Trustees or any Affiliate of any thereof except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 (or such other denomination that is the lowest integral multiple of $1,000 that is, at the time of issuance, equal to at least 1,000 euros) Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

(to Issuer Letter of Representations)

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE

DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE

(Prepared by DTC–bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)

1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]

2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner ”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

 

ILOR 06-2013


SCHEDULE A

(to Issuer Letter of Representations)

5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]

[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]

7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [ Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]

10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

(i) Each Liquidity Provider will promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days of the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to it (the date of such occurrence, the “Downgrade Date”), deliver notice to the Subordination Agent and American of the occurrence of such Downgrade Event and the Downgrade Date therefor. After the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Provider, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a “Downgraded Facility” on the thirty-fifth (35th) day after the related Downgrade Date, unless, not later than such thirty-fifth (35th) day (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), the Rating Agency whose downgrading of such Liquidity Provider resulted in such Downgrade Event shall have provided a written confirmation to the effect that the occurrence of such Downgrade Event will not result in the downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of the ratings then issued by such Rating Agency of the related Class of Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event, such Liquidity Provider notifies the Subordination Agent in writing that no such confirmation will be provided by such Rating Agency, each Liquidity Facility provided by such Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility as of the date of such notice to the Subordination Agent.

(ii) If at any time any Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, not later than the thirty-fifth (35th) day after the related Downgrade Date (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), the Liquidity Provider under such Downgraded Facility (at its own expense, except as provided in the applicable Fee Letter) or American (at its own expense, except as provided in the applicable Fee Letter) may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider (provided that, if the Replacement Liquidity Facility consists of more than one facility pursuant to the proviso of the definition of Replacement Liquidity Facility, one of such Person issuing a facility constituting a part of such Replacement Liquidity Facility may be the existing Liquidity Provider if is meets the terms and conditions set forth in such proviso) to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent in accordance with Section 3.05(e).

(iii) If a Downgraded Facility has not been replaced by a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(c)(ii), the Subordination Agent shall, on the 35th day referred to in Section 3.05(c)(ii) (or if such 35th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility

 

   37    Intercreditor Agreement (2019-1)

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.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.05(c) shall apply to each occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to a Liquidity Provider, regardless of whether or not one or more Downgrade Events have occurred prior thereto and whether or not any confirmation by a Rating Agency specified in Section 3.05(c)(i) has been obtained with respect to any prior occurrence of a Downgrade Event.

(v) If, at any time after making a Downgrade Drawing, the applicable Liquidity Provider satisfies the applicable Threshold Rating and delivers written notice to such effect to the Subordination Agent and American, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such notice, (A) the Downgraded Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility, (B) the Subordination Agent shall withdraw the unapplied amount of such Downgrade Drawing on deposit in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account, the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account, as applicable, and reimburse such amount to such Liquidity Provider, (C) any applied amount of such Downgrade Drawing shall be deemed to have been converted to an Interest Drawing as of such date in accordance with the applicable Liquidity Facility, (D) the obligations of such Liquidity Provider shall be reinstated in accordance with the applicable Liquidity Facility, and (E) the proviso in the definition of Available Amount shall no longer apply to such Downgrade Drawing.

(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 fifteen (15) days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, then the following provisions shall apply:

(i) In the case of any initial Liquidity Facility in effect as of the Closing Date or any other Liquidity Facility having extension provisions identical to those set forth in Section 2.10 of any initial Liquidity Facility, then, if before the 25th day prior to any anniversary date of the Closing Date (such 25th day, the “Notice Date”) the Liquidity Provider shall have advised the Subordination Agent and American that such Liquidity Facility shall not be extended beyond the immediately following anniversary date of the Closing Date and on or before the Notice Date such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e), the Subordination Agent shall, on the Notice Date (or as soon thereafter as possible but prior to the date of expiration of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”)), in accordance with the terms of such Non-Extended Facility, request a drawing under such Non-Extended Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder.

Following the Final Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, the term “Outside Termination Date” shall mean January 31, 2021, or, if the Series AA Equipment Notes (as defined in the Pass Through Trust Agreement) relating to all of the New Aircraft (as defined in the Pass Through Trust Agreement) have not been purchased by the Pass Through Trustee on or prior to January 31, 2021 due to any reason beyond the control of American and not occasioned by American’s fault or negligence, March 31, 2021 (provided that, if a labor strike occurs or continues at the Manufacturer (as defined in the Pass Through Trust Agreement) of any New Aircraft after the Issuance Date and on or prior to January 31, 2021, such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that such strike continued in effect after the Issuance Date, but not more than 60 days).

Any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax returns required to be filed with respect to the Deposits or any income earned by the Deposits will, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, be prepared and filed by the Escrow Agent with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law.

 

   9    Deposit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(b) The Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any U.S. federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax return with respect to the Deposits or any income earned by the Deposits other than any such responsibility that cannot be assigned to, or assumed by the Escrow Agent under applicable law.

(c) The rights and obligations of the Depositary and the Escrow Agent under this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Depositary or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 16. Rights of Receiptholders. The Depositary acknowledges that, if the Depositary shall fail to pay when due hereunder any interest on the Deposits or to pay when due hereunder any Final Withdrawal, any Replacement Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, each Receiptholder (as defined below) shall have the right (individually and without the need for any other action of any person, including the Escrow Agent or any other Receiptholder) to claim directly against the Depositary, by making a demand to the Depositary or by bringing suit to enforce any rights the Escrow Agent may have under this Agreement, in respect of amounts that would have been distributed to such Receiptholder pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and that any such claim shall not be subject to defenses that the Depositary may have against the Escrow Agent. As used in this Agreement, the term “Receiptholder” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

SECTION 17. Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Depositary be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) suffered by the Escrow Agent or any of the Receiptholders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated or any relationships established by this Agreement irrespective of whether the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 18. Miscellaneous. (a) The Depositary shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein with respect to it and no other duties shall be implied. The Depositary may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Depositary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit any payments, including, without limitation, the Deposits.

(b) The Depositary shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction, notice, request or other instrument delivered to it without being required to determine the authenticity or validity thereof, or the truth or accuracy of any information stated therein. The Depositary may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

   10    Deposit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(c) The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss. The Depositary may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through attorneys, and shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such attorney. The Depositary may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Depositary shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held hereunder until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Depositary or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Depositary be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in any other document with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(d) If any portion of the Deposit is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or enjoined or stayed by any court order, or in case of any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the Deposits or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Depositary is authorized to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised in writing by external legal counsel of national reputation is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Depositary complies with such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to the Escrow Agent or any Receiptholder commencing action pursuant to Section 16 even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated so long as such order, writ, judgment or decree was not made, issued or entered for any reason that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines was based on the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Depositary to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Depositary’s identity verification procedures require the Depositary to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Escrow Agent’s

 

   11    Deposit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Escrow Agent agrees to provide the Depositary with and consent to the Depositary obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Depositary.

(f) No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, unavailability of wire services or other causes reasonably beyond its control. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 19. Security Procedures. With respect to all funds transfer instructions that are given pursuant to this Agreement (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by electronic mail with a scanned attachment thereto or otherwise, the Depositary is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule II hereto (“Schedule II”), and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. Each funds transfer instruction shall be executed by an authorized signatory, a list of such authorized signatories is set forth on the Escrow Agent’s Incumbency Certificate. The persons listed on such Incumbency Certificate have been duly appointed to act as authorized signatories of the Escrow Agent hereunder and individually have full power and authority to execute and deliver any notices or instructions, to amend, modify or waive any provisions of this Agreement, and to take any and all other actions permitted under this Agreement (the “Authorized Persons”). Any change in designation of Authorized Persons shall be provided by written notice, signed by an Authorized Person, and actually received and acknowledged by the Depositary. Any communication from the Depositary that the Depositary deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information shall be encrypted in accordance with the Depositary’s internal procedures. The Depositary and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Escrow Agent to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. The Depositary may apply any of the funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

(a) The Escrow Agent has provided the Depositary with its fully executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, showing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax and backup withholding, together with any other documentation and information reasonably requested by the Depositary and required to satisfy its tax reporting obligations to the IRS. The Escrow Agent represents that its correct TIN assigned by the IRS, or any other taxing authority, is set forth in the delivered form. Any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax returns required to be filed with respect to the Deposits or any income earned by the Deposits will, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, be prepared and filed by the Escrow Agent with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law.

(b) The Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any U.S. federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax return with respect to the Deposits or any income earned by the Deposits other than any such responsibility that cannot be assigned to, or assumed by the Escrow Agent under applicable law.

(c) The rights and obligations of the Depositary and the Escrow Agent under this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Depositary or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be.

 

   9    Deposit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


SECTION 16. Rights of Receiptholders. The Depositary acknowledges that, if the Depositary shall fail to pay when due hereunder any interest on the Deposits or to pay when due hereunder any Final Withdrawal, any Replacement Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, each Receiptholder (as defined below) shall have the right (individually and without the need for any other action of any person, including the Escrow Agent or any other Receiptholder) to claim directly against the Depositary, by making a demand to the Depositary or by bringing suit to enforce any rights the Escrow Agent may have under this Agreement, in respect of amounts that would have been distributed to such Receiptholder pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and that any such claim shall not be subject to defenses that the Depositary may have against the Escrow Agent. As used in this Agreement, the term “Receiptholder” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

SECTION 17. Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Depositary be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) suffered by the Escrow Agent or any of the Receiptholders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated or any relationships established by this Agreement irrespective of whether the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 18. Miscellaneous. (a) The Depositary shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein with respect to it and no other duties shall be implied. The Depositary may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Depositary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit any payments, including, without limitation, the Deposits.

(b) The Depositary shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction, notice, request or other instrument delivered to it without being required to determine the authenticity or validity thereof, or the truth or accuracy of any information stated therein. The Depositary may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c) The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss. The Depositary may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through attorneys, and shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such attorney. The Depositary may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Depositary shall not be liable for any

 

   10    Deposit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Depositary shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held hereunder until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Depositary or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Depositary be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in any other document with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(d) If any portion of the Deposit is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or enjoined or stayed by any court order, or in case of any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the Deposits or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Depositary is authorized to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised in writing by external legal counsel of national reputation is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Depositary complies with such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to the Escrow Agent or any Receiptholder commencing action pursuant to Section 16 even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated so long as such order, writ, judgment or decree was not made, issued or entered for any reason that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines was based on the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Depositary to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Depositary’s identity verification procedures require the Depositary to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Escrow Agent’s identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Escrow Agent agrees to provide the Depositary with and consent to the Depositary obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Depositary.

(f) No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, unavailability of wire services or other causes reasonably beyond its control. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

 

   11    Deposit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


SECTION 19. Security Procedures. With respect to all funds transfer instructions that are given pursuant to this Agreement (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by electronic mail with a scanned attachment thereto or otherwise, the Depositary is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule II hereto (“Schedule II”), and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. Each funds transfer instruction shall be executed by an authorized signatory, a list of such authorized signatories is set forth on the Escrow Agent’s Incumbency Certificate. The persons listed on such Incumbency Certificate have been duly appointed to act as authorized signatories of the Escrow Agent hereunder and individually have full power and authority to execute and deliver any notices or instructions, to amend, modify or waive any provisions of this Agreement, and to take any and all other actions permitted under this Agreement (the “Authorized Persons”). Any change in designation of Authorized Persons shall be provided by written notice, signed by an Authorized Person, and actually received and acknowledged by the Depositary. Any communication from the Depositary that the Depositary deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information shall be encrypted in accordance with the Depositary’s internal procedures. The Depositary and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Escrow Agent to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. The Depositary may apply any of the funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

SECTION 16. Rights of Receiptholders. The Depositary acknowledges that, if the Depositary shall fail to pay when due hereunder any interest on the Deposits or to pay when due hereunder any Final Withdrawal, any Replacement Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, each Receiptholder (as defined below) shall have the right (individually and without the need for any other action of any person, including the Escrow Agent or any other Receiptholder) to claim directly against the Depositary, by making a demand to the Depositary or by bringing suit to enforce any rights the Escrow Agent may have under this Agreement, in respect of amounts that would have been distributed to such Receiptholder pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and that any such claim shall not be subject to defenses that the Depositary may have against the Escrow Agent. As used in this Agreement, the term “Receiptholder” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

SECTION 17. Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Depositary be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) suffered by the Escrow Agent or any of the Receiptholders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated or any relationships established by this Agreement irrespective of whether the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 18. Miscellaneous. (a) The Depositary shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein with respect to it and no other duties shall be implied. The Depositary may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Depositary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit any payments, including, without limitation, the Deposits.

(b) The Depositary shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction, notice, request or other instrument delivered to it without being required to determine the authenticity or validity thereof, or the truth or accuracy of any information stated therein. The Depositary may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c) The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss. The Depositary may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through attorneys, and shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such attorney. The Depositary may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Depositary shall not be liable for any

 

   10   
      Deposit Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Depositary shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held hereunder until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Depositary or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Depositary be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in any other document with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(d) If any portion of the Deposit is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or enjoined or stayed by any court order, or in case of any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the Deposits or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Depositary is authorized to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised in writing by external legal counsel of national reputation is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Depositary complies with such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to the Escrow Agent or any Receiptholder commencing action pursuant to Section 16 even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated so long as such order, writ, judgment or decree was not made, issued or entered for any reason that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines was based on the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Depositary to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Depositary’s identity verification procedures require the Depositary to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Escrow Agent’s identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Escrow Agent agrees to provide the Depositary with and consent to the Depositary obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Depositary.

(f) No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, unavailability of wire services or other causes reasonably beyond its control. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

All payments and distributions made to a holder (each, a “Receiptholder” and, collectively, the “Receiptholders”) of an Escrow Receipt in respect of such Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (the “Account Amounts”). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of such Escrow Receipt and this Agreement (subject to Section 16 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to American, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of any Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

Section 1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt. If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts of like Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

Section 1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account Amounts (an “Action of Investors”). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Escrow Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank or a trust company which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, to the effect that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

Section 1.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is irrevocable and the Investors’ and the Pass Through Trustee’s rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall only be as provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement. The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement; (b) shall not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person other than itself contained in this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee, the Investors or any other person or entity (other than the Escrow Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Escrow Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); (c) may consult with legal counsel in connection with its duties hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement and shall be fully protected if any action taken, suffered or permitted by it is in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel selected by it with due care; (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with the handling of funds); and (e) shall in no event be liable for punitive, incidental or consequential damages.

Section 1.02. Instruction; Etc. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent agrees:

(a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement, to enter into a Replacement Deposit Agreement with the Replacement Depositary;

(b) to appoint the Paying Agent as provided in this Agreement;

(c) upon receipt at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date (as defined below) of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Withdrawal Certificate”) executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Purchase Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit A to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee (the “Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal” and the withdrawal to which it relates, a “Purchase Withdrawal”), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement; provided that, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee after such transmission, the Escrow Agent shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal;

 

   3   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(d) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (as such term is defined in the Deposit Agreement) in substantially the form of Exhibit C to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to:

(X) immediately execute such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal, on the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than five Business Days after such notice is given (the “Replacement Withdrawal Date”), of (x) with respect to all Deposits then held by the Depositary, (1) the entire amount of such Deposits together with (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the Replacement Withdrawal Date and (y) with respect to all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to the Applicable Notices of Purchase Withdrawal, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the date of the applicable Purchase Withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), a “Replacement Withdrawal”); and

(Y) direct the Depositary to transfer (i) the amounts requested to be withdrawn pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding paragraph, to the Replacement Depositary in accordance with the Replacement Deposit Agreement and (ii) the amounts requested to be withdrawn pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding paragraph, to the Paying Agent Account (as defined below);

(e) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal (as such term is defined in the Deposit Agreement) in substantially the form of Exhibit D to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to:

(X) immediately execute such Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal, on the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than 15 days after such notice is given (the “Event of Loss Withdrawal Date”), of the Deposit specified in such Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposit to but excluding the Event of Loss Withdrawal Date (an “Event of Loss Withdrawal”); and

   4   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(f) if there are any undrawn Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) on the “Termination Date”, which shall mean the earlier of (i) the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) and (ii) the day on which the Escrow Agent receives notice from the Pass Through Trustee that the Pass Through Trustee’s obligation to purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement has terminated and the Cut-Off Date has occurred, to immediately give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the Paying Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal of all of the remaining Deposits, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal, on the 15th day after the date that such notice of withdrawal is given to the Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Final Withdrawal”); provided that, if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal in accordance with the foregoing is within 10 days before or after a Regular Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested withdrawal, the “Final Withdrawal Date”). If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed to give the Final Withdrawal Notice to the Depositary on or before the Outside Termination Date and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be the Outside Termination Date. The term “Outside Termination Date” shall mean January 31, 2021, or, if the Series A Equipment Notes relating to all of the New Aircraft have not been purchased by the Pass Through Trustee on or prior to January 31, 2021 due to any reason beyond the control of American and not occasioned by American’s fault or negligence, March 31, 2021 (provided that, if a labor strike occurs or continues at the Manufacturer of any New Aircraft after the Issuance Date and on or prior to January 31, 2021, such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that such strike continued in effect after the Issuance Date, but not more than 60 days).

Section 1.03. Initial Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts. The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby acknowledge that on the date hereof they shall, irrevocably deliver to the Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars (“Dollars”) and immediately available funds equal to $289,358,000 for deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Underwriters hereby instruct the Escrow Agent, upon receipt by the Depositary of such sum from the Underwriters, to confirm such receipt by executing and delivering to the Pass Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, an “Escrow Receipt” and, collectively, the “Escrow Receipts”) (a) to be affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the same percentage interest (the “Escrow Interest”) in the Account Amounts (as defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request

 

   5   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the “Register”) maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the same holder that is the holder of the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is attached and may not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed. No Escrow Receipt may be assigned or transferred except in connection with the assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is affixed. After the termination of the Deposit Agreement (or, if applicable, any Replacement Deposit Agreement), no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

Section 1.04. Payments to Receiptholders. All payments and distributions made to a holder (each, a “Receiptholder” and, collectively, the “Receiptholders”) of an Escrow Receipt in respect of such Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (the “Account Amounts”). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of such Escrow Receipt and this Agreement (subject to Section 16 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to American, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of any Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

Section 1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt. If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts of like Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

 

   6   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

Section 1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

Section 1.07. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account Amounts (an “Action of Investors”). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Escrow Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank or a trust company which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.

No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, to the effect that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of any Final Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of such Final Withdrawal or such Event of Loss Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary.

(e) The Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed pursuant to this Section 2.03 any notice required to be distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through Trustee.

Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount in respect of any Final Withdrawal and any Event of Loss Withdrawal any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow amounts, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

Section 2.05. Resignation or Removal of Paying Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Paying Agent as provided below, the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the Escrow Agent.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Paying Agent hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall enter into such documents as the Escrow Agent shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

Section 2.06. Notice of Final Withdrawal. Promptly after receipt by the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested a Final Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause notice of the distribution of the Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the Receiptholders at its address as it appears in the Register.

SECTION 3. Payments. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the Paying Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or a Replacement Depositary (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a) in the cases of (i) a payment of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement), (ii) any Final Withdrawal, (iii) any Event of Loss Withdrawal or (iv) any amount referred to in clause (y) of Section 1.02(d)(X) in respect of the Replacement Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account, (b) in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through Trustee or its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (c) in the case of any amount referred to in clause (x) of Section 1.02(d)(X) in respect of the Replacement Withdrawal, to the Replacement Depositary as provided in the Replacement Depositary Agreement.

Each of the Underwriters, for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably appoints, authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement for such specific purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Escrow Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Escrow Agent under this

 

   2   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is irrevocable and the Investors’ and the Pass Through Trustee’s rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall only be as provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement. The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement; (b) shall not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person other than itself contained in this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee, the Investors or any other person or entity (other than the Escrow Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Escrow Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); (c) may consult with legal counsel in connection with its duties hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement and shall be fully protected if any action taken, suffered or permitted by it is in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel selected by it with due care; (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with the handling of funds); and (e) shall in no event be liable for punitive, incidental or consequential damages.

Section 1.02. Instruction; Etc. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent agrees:

(b) to appoint the Paying Agent as provided in this Agreement;

(c) upon receipt at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date (as defined below) of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Withdrawal Certificate”) executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Purchase Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit A to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee (the “Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal” and the withdrawal to which it relates, a “Purchase Withdrawal”), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement; provided that, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee after such transmission, the Escrow Agent shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal;

 

   3

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(d) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (as such term is defined in the Deposit Agreement) in substantially the form of Exhibit C to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to:

(X) immediately execute such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal, on the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than five Business Days after such notice is given (the “Replacement Withdrawal Date”), of (x) with respect to all Deposits then held by the Depositary, (1) the entire amount of such Deposits together with (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the Replacement Withdrawal Date and (y) with respect to all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to the Applicable Notices of Purchase Withdrawal, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the date of the applicable Purchase Withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), a “Replacement Withdrawal”); and

(Y) direct the Depositary to transfer (i) the amounts requested to be withdrawn pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding paragraph, to the Replacement Depositary in accordance with the Replacement Deposit Agreement and (ii) the amounts requested to be withdrawn pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding paragraph, to the Paying Agent Account (as defined below);

(e) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal (as such term is defined in the Deposit Agreement) in substantially the form of Exhibit D to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to:

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(f) if there are any undrawn Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) on the “Termination Date”, which shall mean the earlier of (i) the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) and (ii) the day on which the Escrow Agent receives notice from the Pass Through Trustee that the Pass Through Trustee’s obligation to purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement has terminated and the Cut-Off Date has occurred, to immediately give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the Paying Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal of all of the remaining Deposits, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal, on the 15th day after the date that such notice of withdrawal is given to the Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Final Withdrawal”); provided that, if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal in accordance with the foregoing is within 10 days before or after a Regular Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested withdrawal, the “Final Withdrawal Date”). If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed to give the Final Withdrawal Notice to the Depositary on or before the Outside Termination Date and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be the Outside Termination Date. The term “Outside Termination Date” shall mean January 31, 2021, or, if the Series B Equipment Notes relating to all of the New Aircraft have not been purchased by the Pass Through Trustee on or prior to January 31, 2021 due to any reason beyond the control of American and not occasioned by American’s fault or negligence, March 31, 2021 (provided that, if a labor strike occurs or continues at the Manufacturer of any New Aircraft after the Issuance Date and on or prior to January 31, 2021, such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that such strike continued in effect after the Issuance Date, but not more than 60 days).

Section 1.03. Initial Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts. The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby acknowledge that on the date hereof they shall, irrevocably deliver to the Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars (“Dollars”) and immediately available funds equal to $228,438,000 for deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Underwriters hereby instruct the Escrow Agent, upon receipt by the Depositary of such sum from the Underwriters, to confirm such receipt by executing and delivering to the Pass Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, an “Escrow Receipt” and, collectively, the “Escrow Receipts”) (a) to be affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the same percentage interest (the “Escrow Interest”) in the Account Amounts (as defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request

 

   5   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the “Register”) maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the same holder that is the holder of the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is attached and may not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed. No Escrow Receipt may be assigned or transferred except in connection with the assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which such Escrow Receipt is affixed. After the termination of the Deposit Agreement (or, if applicable, any Replacement Deposit Agreement), no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

Section 1.04. Payments to Receiptholders. All payments and distributions made to a holder (each, a “Receiptholder” and, collectively, the “Receiptholders”) of an Escrow Receipt in respect of such Escrow Receipt shall be made only from amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) (the “Account Amounts”). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of such Escrow Receipt and this Agreement (subject to Section 16 hereof) and (b) it will have no recourse to American, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of any Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

Section 1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt. If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts of like Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

 

   6   
      Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

Section 1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

Section 1.07. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account Amounts (an “Action of Investors”). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Escrow Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank or a trust company which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, to the effect that the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

Section 1.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


Section 1.09. Further Assurances. Without limiting Sections 4 and 8 of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees to take such actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Deposit Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 2. Paying Agent.

Section 2.01. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Paying Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Paying Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for the benefit of the Investors. The Paying Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for the Escrow Agent; (b) shall not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person other than itself contained in this Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow Agent or any other person or entity (other than the Paying Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); (c) may consult with legal counsel in connection with its duties hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement and shall be fully protected if any action taken, suffered or permitted by it is in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel selected by it with due care; (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with the handling of funds); and (e) shall in no event be liable for punitive, incidental or consequential damages.

There shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record in the Register on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder’s pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount of interest deposited by the Depositary in the Paying Agent Account on such date, except that, with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on the record date specified above in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC.

(b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of any Final Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of such Final Withdrawal or such Event of Loss Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary.

The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow amounts, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

SECTION 3. Payments. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the Paying Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or a Replacement Depositary (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a) in the cases of (i) a payment of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement), (ii) any Final Withdrawal, (iii) any Event of Loss Withdrawal or (iv) any amount referred to in clause (y) of Section 1.02(d)(X) in respect of the Replacement Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account, (b) in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through Trustee or its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (c) in the case of any amount referred to in clause (x) of Section 1.02(d)(X) in respect of the Replacement Withdrawal, to the Replacement Depositary as provided in the Replacement Depositary Agreement.

AMERICAN AIRLINES 2019-1B (AIRCRAFT EETC) ESCROW RECEIPT

This Escrow Receipt evidences a fractional undivided interest in amounts (“Account Amounts”) from time to time deposited on behalf of the holder hereof into a certain paying agent account (the “Paying Agent Account”) described in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement (Class B) dated as of August 15, 2019 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement”) among Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Escrow Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several Underwriters, Wilmington Trust Company, as Pass Through Trustee (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Pass Through Trustee”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as paying agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

This Escrow Receipt is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow Receipt.

This Escrow Receipt represents a fractional undivided interest in amounts deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account, and grants or represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets or property other than such amounts. This Escrow Receipt evidences the same percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is affixed.

All payments and distributions made to Receiptholders in respect of this Escrow Receipt shall be made only from Account Amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account. The holder of this Escrow Receipt, by its acceptance of this Escrow Receipt, agrees that it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt (or, in case the Depositary shall default in its obligation to make a payment under the Deposit Agreement that would be an Account Amount, to the Depositary) and that it will not have any recourse to American, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow

This Escrow Receipt may not be assigned or transferred except in connection with the assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which this Escrow Receipt is affixed.

The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name this Escrow Receipt is registered pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement as the owner hereof for all purposes, and the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

THIS ESCROW RECEIPT 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, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPALS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

      [Reg. No.]


(xi) any Claim to the extent such Claim is incurred on account of or asserted as a result of (A) any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any foreign, federal, state, or local law which is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (B) any breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA;

(xii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to one or more of the other aircraft financed through the offering of Pass Through Certificates (in the event of doubt, any Claim shall be allocated between the Aircraft and such other aircraft in the same proportion that the then outstanding Equipment Notes bear to the then outstanding equipment notes issued with respect to the other aircraft and held by the Pass Through Trustees);

(xiii) any Claim by an Indemnitee related to the status of such Indemnitee as a passenger or shipper on any of Company’s aircraft or as a party to a marketing or promotional or other commercial agreement with Company unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents;

(xiv) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the offer or sale by an Indemnitee (or any member of such Indemnitee’s Related Indemnitee Group) of any interest in the Aircraft, the Equipment Notes, the Pass Through Certificates, or any similar interest, in violation of the Securities Act or other applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws (other than any thereof caused by acts or omissions of the Company of any of its affiliates); and

(xv) any Claim to the extent attributable to any amount which any Indemnitee expressly agrees to pay or such Indemnitee expressly agrees shall not be paid by or be reimbursed by Company.

(e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the Company hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Company’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim.

(f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Company from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced by such failure or the Company’s indemnification obligations are increased as a result of such failure (in which event the Company shall not be responsible for such additional indemnification obligations). Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company all additional information in such Indemnitee’s possession to substantiate such request for payment to the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the

 

   17   
      Participation Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


right, at its sole cost and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 4.02, and, at the Company’s expense, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. Where the Company or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the written request of the Company or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Company pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s participation does not, in the opinion of the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees.

(g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Company under this Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit the Company or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment from any party other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid by the Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly pay over to the Company the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the amount the Company or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company, or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative Documents, and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company’s obligations hereunder and thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against the Company’s obligations, shall be paid to the Company.

(h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.02 shall constitute a guarantee by the Company that the Aircraft shall at any time have any particular value, useful life or residual value.

(i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.02 directly to an Indemnitee or to the Company, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or, if no such directions shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 7.01. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Past Due Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 4.02 until the same shall be paid. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

(j) Tax Deduction or Credit. If, by reason of any payment made to or for the account of any Indemnitee by Company, or by reason of any Claim of any Indemnitee paid or indemnified against by Company, in each case pursuant to this Section 4.02, such Indemnitee realizes a Tax deduction or credit not previously taken into account in computing such payment, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Company an amount equal to the sum of (i) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee which is attributable to such deduction or credit, and (ii) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a result of any payment made by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence; provided that the amount payable by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the sum of all amounts previously paid by Company to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4.02; provided, further, that any such excess shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Company to make payments to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4.02. If such Tax deduction or credit is subsequently disallowed or lost, upon written notice from the Indemnitee Company shall promptly repay all amounts paid to it pursuant to this Section 4.02 in respect of such disallowed or lost deduction or credit. If, at the time an amount would otherwise be payable to Company under this Section 4.02, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be held by the relevant Indemnitee as security for the obligations of Company under the Operative Documents. At such time as no Event of Default is continuing, such amount or portion thereof shall be applied to offset Company’s outstanding obligations under the Operative Documents and any remaining amount after such application shall be paid to Company.

No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided herein executed by the Loan Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other amounts due under each Equipment Note or otherwise payable hereunder shall be payable by the Company in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Noteholders in the manner provided herein, and payment of such amount by the Company to the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to make such payment. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any Noteholder (with a copy to the Company), all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under such Noteholder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such Noteholder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the event the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Pass Through Trustees, the Loan Trustee shall, unless instructed by the Company to use another method, pay such amounts by check mailed to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Equipment Note Register. If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall fail (other than as a result of a failure of the Noteholder to provide it with wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to be paid by wire transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day it receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the Federal Funds Rate until such payment is made and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan

Trustee for cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment, in which case the Loan Trustee shall make such required payment on the next succeeding Business Day. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Noteholder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Noteholder specified in Schedule I to the Participation Agreement or otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement, unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Loan Trustee consistent with this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Loan Trustee shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by applicable law. The Loan Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts (which withholding shall constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Noteholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with a copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Noteholder may reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.

Section 2.05. Application of Payments. Subject always to Section 2.13 and except as otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of an installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest paid thereon shall be applied:

first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

 

   17   
      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note;

third, to the payment of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) then due thereunder, if any; and

fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter to the payment of installments of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, post-petition interest and interest on any overdue amounts) due on and all other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then due and payable to such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 2.14) and under the Participation Agreement by the Company (the “Secured Obligations”) have been paid in full.

Subject to Section 10.01 hereof, no Related Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all Related Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes, the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes and a record of the dates and payments made with respect to the Equipment Notes. No transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of the same Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and

      [Reg. No.]


subject to satisfaction of Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Loan Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal, interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and the Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of this Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents applicable to the Noteholders or, in the case of each Related Indenture, Related Noteholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such transferee of an Equipment

Subject to compliance by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment Note becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section 2.09, execute and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal amount, dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee, and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Company and the Loan Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.

Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. (a) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Loan Trustee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.

(b) The Loan Trustee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, shall keep a copy of such cancelled Equipment Notes, and shall send the original canceled Equipment Notes marked “cancelled” to the Company.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Loan Trustee may, and upon the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall, do one or more of the following to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with the requirements of, applicable law then in effect (provided that during any period the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the CRAF Program and is in possession of or being operated under the direction of the United States government or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the Loan Trustee shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to exercise or pursue any of the powers, rights or remedies described in this Section 4.02 in such manner as to limit the Company’s control under this Indenture (or any Permitted Lessee’s control under any Lease) of the Airframe, any Engines installed thereon or any such Engine, unless at least 60 days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the CRAF Program of the United States government) prior written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered or certified mail to the Company (and any such Permitted Lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative or other appropriate person for the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the Company or such Permitted Lessee relating to the Aircraft):

(i) declare by written notice to the Company all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in Section 4.01(f), Section 4.01(g), Section 4.01(h) or Section 4.01(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; and, following such declaration or deemed declaration:

(ii) (A) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan Trustee, at the Company’s expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order, or, if the Company shall have failed to so deliver the Airframe or any Engine after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the

Airframe or any Engine are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held at the expense of the Company for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if such engine is owned by the Company, may at the option of the Company with the consent of the Loan Trustee (which will not be unreasonably withheld) or at the option of the Loan Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with the Company for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05(b); (B) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Company, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.03; or (C) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Operative Document, (i) as permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from; and (ii) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of Chapter II of the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for (x) Article XVI of the Aircraft Protocol and (y) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be derogated from. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Operative Documents is subject to other applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC and the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of the Company or the Loan Trustee under or pursuant to such other applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC or the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it deems necessary to cause the Collateral to be in such

      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


condition as required by the provisions of this Indenture. In each such case, the Loan Trustee may maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage or dispose of the Collateral and may exercise all rights and powers of the Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Loan Trustee may reasonably determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments that the Loan Trustee is required or elects to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Loan Trustee is required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Loan Trustee, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title and other documents as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems necessary or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Loan Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may seek a judgment conferring on the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Loan Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. All actual and reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Indenture.

(b) The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Any Noteholder or Noteholders shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by such Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Noteholders under the Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of this Indenture (but only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given effect). The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as a representative of the Noteholders may exercise such right without notice to the Noteholders as party to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of any Collateral. The Company shall also be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may reasonably be designated in any such request.

(d) At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable, or all Equipment Notes shall have become due and payable as provided in the proviso to Section 4.02(a)(i), and, in either case, prior to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV, a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, by written notice to the Company and the Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration, whether made by the Loan Trustee on its own accord or as directed or deemed declaration, and its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Loan Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and interest on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the Operative Documents, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been either cured or waived; provided that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (i) so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder, the Loan Trustee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the Loan Trustee will not take any action that would violate Section 4.01(a)(ii) or Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the Loan Trustee herein or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any 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 the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance 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 on the part of the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.

Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee shall have instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Loan Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Loan Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice).

Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose

of this Indenture and the other Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided that in the absence of written instructions from each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not waive any default (i) in the payment of the principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest due under any Equipment Note then outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof), or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each such affected Noteholder.

Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Indenture or any Operative Document for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Indenture or any Operative Document, unless:

(1) such Noteholder previously shall have given written notice to the Loan Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) a Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have requested the Loan Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Loan Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 5.03;

(3) the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

(4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or herein or in any Indenture Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the Noteholders of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment Notes of such Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any Collateral, or the Lien of this Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the Noteholders of such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference with respect to any other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii) enforce any right under this Indenture or the Equipment Notes of such Series, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Noteholders of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 4.07. Appointment of a Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Equipment Notes either shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity, the Loan Trustee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Loan Trustee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Loan Trustee with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE V

DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE

Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by the Company to pay when due any payment of principal amount, interest, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, each Liquidity Provider and each Noteholder by electronic mail, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing). Subject to the terms of Section 4.02, Section 4.05, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, the Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Loan Trustee shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such default or Event of Default to the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable and in the best interests of the Noteholders, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action. The Loan Trustee shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Loan Trustee may not sell the Airframe or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Loan Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by the Company or one or more Noteholders; and “actual knowledge”

(as used in the foregoing clause) of the Loan Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee; provided that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of (i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount of, or interest on, the Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the same shall become due or (ii) the failure of the Company to maintain insurance as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee receives written notice thereof from an insurer or insurance broker.

Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations. Subject to the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action permitted hereunder, in each case, as is specified in such instructions.

The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture and any supplements to it and any financing statements or other documents as are necessary to maintain the perfection hereof or otherwise protect the security interests created hereby. The Loan Trustee shall furnish to the Company upon request such information and copies of such documents as the Loan Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Company to perform its duties under Article II hereof.

Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall have received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be actually incurred by it in connection therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV, nor shall any other provision of any Operative Document be deemed to impose a duty on the Loan Trustee to take any action, if the Loan Trustee shall have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to applicable law.

Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, lease, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Loan Trustee.

Any monies (including for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any amounts held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.07 or pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Document providing for amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article III, or any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or Section 7.06(d) or otherwise, or Permitted Investments purchased by the use of such cash pursuant to this Section 5.06 or any cash constituting the proceeds of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below and Section 3.07, may be carried by the Loan Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit to its account with any bank, trust company or national banking association incorporated or doing business under the laws of the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital and surplus and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000, and the Loan Trustee shall not have any liability for interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company, shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments as specified in such request (if such investments are reasonably available for purchase) and sold, in any case at such prices, including accrued interest or its equivalent, as are set forth in such request, and, as provided in Section 3.07, such Permitted Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so sold; provided that the Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, any profit, income, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment. All Permitted Investments held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be held pursuant to Section 3.07. If an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment shall be held as part of the Collateral and shall be applied by

the Loan Trustee at the same time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant to which such amounts were required to be held. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain shall be paid to the Company. In addition, subject to Section 3.03, if any moneys or investments are held by the Loan Trustee solely because an Event of Default or Payment Default has occurred and is continuing, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such moneys and investments shall be paid to the Company. The Loan Trustee shall not be responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments made pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06 other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence.

As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Loan Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines.

(e) Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company except as otherwise required by the Transportation Code; provided that the Loan Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver all such documents as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of continuing such registration.

The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of the Aircraft, the following conditions shall be met (or waived as provided in Section 6.01(b) of the Participation Agreement):

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of the change in registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in registration results in the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States or if a Majority in Interest of Noteholders consents to such change in registration;

The Company will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable requirements of the FAA or any applicable government of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, except for (i) minor, unanticipated or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are being taken promptly by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, and (ii) any law, rule, regulation or order the validity or application of which is being contested in good faith by the Company or such Permitted Lessee in any manner which does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or the interest of the Loan Trustee therein. In addition, from time to time, the Company, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal (without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value (except as described in the last proviso of this sentence) or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, below the value or utility thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe or such Engine was then in the value and utility required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, provided, further, that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe or any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been removed that the Company or such Permitted Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, Company may make alterations in the passenger configuration of the Aircraft and such alterations shall not be subject to the immediately preceding sentence. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall be free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and shall, without further act, be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time, remove any Part from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery thereof to the Company or such

Upon the removal by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) of any Part as permitted by this Section 7.04(c), such removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights and interests of the Loan Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company instruments reasonably requested by the Company confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this Indenture. Parts of the type permitted to be removed by this Section 7.04(c) may be leased from or financed by third parties other than the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee acknowledges that it has no interest in the Excluded Equipment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Company may, at any time, install or permit to be installed in the Aircraft Excluded Equipment owned by Company or any Permitted Lessee or by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to Company in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to a conditional sale contract, a license or otherwise), and Company may remove (and not replace) or permit to be removed (and not replaced) the same, and Loan Trustee shall not acquire a Lien thereon by virtue of such installation or otherwise, and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under this Indenture, it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that in no event shall the installation of any such Excluded Equipment impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Loan Trustee hereunder and under applicable law.

(d) Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at its option at any time and from time to time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, and prior to the date of such substitution, the Company shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.

(e) Substitution of Airframe. The Company shall have the right at its option at any time and from time to time, on at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Substitute Airframe, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), for the Airframe so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of substitution, (ii) the Substitute Airframe has a date of manufacture no earlier than one year prior to the date of manufacture of the Airframe subject to the Lien of this Indenture on the Closing Date (each such date of manufacture,

Any amount referred to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the Company shall not be paid to or retained by the Company if at the time of such payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Participation Agreement. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company.

Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A) name the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each Pass Through Trustee and each Liquidity Provider as their Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as additional insureds (the “Specified Persons”), (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider (in which case the last sentence of this Section 7.06(a)(i) applies), if such insurance is

      [Reg. No.]


canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Specified Person of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent that the Company or, if applicable, such Permitted Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents or, if applicable, pursuant to the lease to such Permitted Lessee, (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by each Specified Person with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. “Interests” as used in this Section 7.06(a) and in Section 7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in respect of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. To the extent that the war risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to each Specified Person of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give each Specified Person immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation.

(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft.

(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) with respect to other aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes) that is of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be; provided that (A) such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes from time to time and (B) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company, provided that such Engine is covered by a separate policy of insurance. Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide that (I) any insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus an amount equal to the interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes at the Debt Rate in effect on the date of payment of such insurance proceeds to the Loan Trustee (as provided for in this sentence) during the period commencing on the day following the date of such payment to the Loan Trustee

and ending on the Loss Payment Date (the sum of such three amounts being the “Loan Amount”), payable for any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and (II) any insurance proceeds in excess of the amount set forth on Exhibit C up to the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this Indenture shall not have been discharged, and that all other amounts shall be payable to the Company or such Permitted Lessee, unless the insurer shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up to the amount of the Loan Amount shall be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of such insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Specified Persons for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Specified Persons of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent the Company or, if applicable, such Permitted Lessee has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents or, if applicable, pursuant to the lease to such Permitted Lessee, and (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any Specified Person with respect to its Interests as such in the Aircraft. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in respect of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government,

against any risks which the Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06(b) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. To the extent that the war risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to each Specified Person of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give each Specified Person immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company (or, if a lease to a Permitted Lessee is then in effect, by such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe in an amount at least equal to 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes during such period that such Airframe is on the ground and not in operation.

(c) Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure, by way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.06(a) or Section 7.06(b), insuring for a maximum amount that is less than the amounts set forth in Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b)), the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b), but in no case shall the self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the combined fleet of the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company and its Affiliates carry insurance, unless the Company’s independent insurance broker shall certify that the standard among major United States airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company may self-insure the Aircraft to such higher level. In addition to the foregoing right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to the extent of (1) any deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount

 

   80   
      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft (or if applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance deductibles customarily imposed by the aircraft or hull liability insurers in the airline industry. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7.06 requiring insurance, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the United States government, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, against such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance maintained against such risk by Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee), shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 7.06 (taking into account self-insurance permitted by this Section 7.06(c)) shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this Section 7.06.

(d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by the Company with the insurers. As between the Loan Trustee and the Company, it is agreed that all insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by the Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Loan Amount, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:

(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company;

(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof shall be applied (A) in reduction of the Company’s obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of such amounts and (B) the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; and

(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an Event of Loss contemplated by Section 7.05(b) has occurred, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; provided that the Company shall have performed its obligations under Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

      [Reg. No.]


In all events, (x) the insurance payment of any property damage or loss with respect to property other than the Airframe or any Engine received under policies maintained by the Company (or, if a lease to a Permitted Lessee is then in effect, by such Permitted Lessee), and (y) the insurance payment for any loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Loan Amount, shall be paid to the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) or its designee.

The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company or, if a lease to a Permitted Lessee is then in effect, such Permitted Lessee) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02 and Section 7.04, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) or its designee. Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i) or (iii) of the second preceding paragraph that is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company (or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company) if at the time of such payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but, subject to Section 5.06, shall be paid over to or held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Participation Agreement, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the Company.

(e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon renewal of the Company’s insurance coverage, the Company will furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider one or more reports signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by or with the consent of the Company (which firm may be in the regular employ of the Company), stating the opinion of such firm that the commercial hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and each of their affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such firm to agree to advise the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider in writing of any act or omission on the part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge that might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. The Company will also use commercially

 

   82   
      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


reasonable efforts to cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 7.06 will occur. Such information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance with Section 10.16.

(f) Salvage Rights. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each Engine shall remain with the Company’s insurers or the applicable Permitted Lessee’s insurers, as the case may be, at all times, and any insurance policies of the Loan Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall provide for a release to the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, of any and all salvage rights in and to the Airframe or any Engine.

(g) Right to Pay Premium. In the event of cancellation of any insurance required to be maintained hereunder due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Loan Trustee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect to the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Indenture and to maintain such coverage, as the Loan Trustee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Company shall, upon demand, reimburse the Loan Trustee for amounts so paid by it.

(h) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit or prohibit (i) the Company from maintaining the policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section 7.06 with higher limits than those specified herein or (ii) the Loan Trustee or the Company from obtaining insurance for its own account, and at its sole expense, with respect to the Airframe or any Engine (and any proceeds payable under such insurance shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto); provided that no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other insurance maintained by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft in the Company’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) fleet.

ARTICLE VIII

SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES

Section 8.01. Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment of a successor Loan Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Loan Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.01. The Loan Trustee or any successor thereto

 

   83   
      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


must resign if at any time it ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and each Noteholder. In addition, either the Company (so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the Company so long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing), may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, to the Company. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a successor Loan Trustee shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Loan Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee appointed as above provided.

(b) Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Loan Trustee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Loan Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Loan Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Loan Trustee, such predecessor Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Trustee all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Loan Trustee, and such predecessor Loan Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies or other property and all other books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof, then held by such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder.

(c) This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however appointed, that is a Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting trust) and a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such bank, trust company or

      [Reg. No.]


corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Loan Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a).

(d) Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution into which the Loan Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Loan Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Loan Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee under this Indenture without further act.

Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or any of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan Trustee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or prudent in the interests of the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so advise the Company) or (iii) the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any such case, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more banks or trust companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(c) and approved by the Loan Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no additional or supplemental trustee shall be appointed without the Company’s consent. If the Company shall not have taken any action requested of it under this Section 8.02(a) that is required

 

   85   
      Indenture and Security Agreement
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)
      [Reg. No.]


by its terms within 15 days of a written request from the Loan Trustee to do so, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a) without the concurrence of the Company, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a). The Loan Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case any additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Loan Trustee until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.02(a).

(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Loan Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the Loan Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Loan Trustee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Loan Trustee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX and Article X hereof insofar as they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not in any case exceed those of the Loan Trustee hereunder.

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT

Section 2.01 The Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Subject to Section 2.06(d), each Interest Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, such Interest Advance to be in an amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and used solely for the payment when due of interest with respect to the Class AA Certificates at the Stated Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.05(a) and 3.05(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall automatically reduce the Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available to be borrowed hereunder by subsequent Advances by the amount of such Interest Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). 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, subject to Section 2.06(d), 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.

(b) (i) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.05(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.05(d), upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II, 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 AA Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.05(d) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 10:00 a.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 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing.

(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 AA Trustee or any Class AA Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 10:00 a.m. (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 AA Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class AA Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class AA 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(c)(v), 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) 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 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 AA Certificates or otherwise, 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 or Special Termination Advance or the making of or conversion to a 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, except in the case of a Downgrade Advance, as provided in Section 2.06(d).

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”) (if multiple Interest Advances are outstanding any such repayment to be applied in the order in

 

   12   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the earliest), 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 AA Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class AA Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the portion of the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any such withdrawal, but not in excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, 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; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that is an Applied 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; and, provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(b), any Unapplied Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement. 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 AA Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class AA 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 AA Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class AA 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

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


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 AA 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 so repaid 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 AA 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 shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

(d) If, at any time after making a Downgrade Advance, the Liquidity Provider satisfies the Threshold Rating and delivers written notice to that effect to the Borrower and American, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such notice, (i) this Liquidity Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility, (ii) any Unapplied Downgrade Advance shall be withdrawn from the Class AA Cash Collateral Account and reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, (iii) any Applied Downgrade Advance shall be converted to an Interest Advance, (iv) the Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Unapplied Downgrade Advance so reimbursed, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment, and the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make Advances shall be reinstated in an equal amount, (v) the Borrower shall be entitled to request Borrowings and (vi) the proviso in the definition of Maximum Available Commitment and the proviso in the final sentence of Section 2.02(a) shall, in each case, no longer apply to such Downgrade Advance.

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 AA 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.

If the Liquidity Provider notifies the Borrower and American in writing before the 25th day prior to an anniversary date of the Closing Date that occurs prior to the 15th day after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class AA Certificates (such notification, a “Non-Extension Notice”; the date of such notification, the “Notice Date”) that its obligation to make Advances hereunder shall not be extended beyond the immediately following anniversary date of the Closing Date (and if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the Notice Date (but prior to such anniversary date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(i) hereof and Section 3.05(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 Advances or its obligation to make any such 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 or the obligation to make 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 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.

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


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 (it being agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by (i) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated or issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) including, but not limited to the Consultative Documents entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and “International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated December 2009 or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall not be considered to have been proposed or 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 (i) deduct or withhold and shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld , (ii) 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 and (iii) within 30 days after the date of a payment to the relevant authorities furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other reasonable evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Liquidity Provider, within 10 Business Days of demand therefor the full amount of Covered Taxes paid or payable by the Liquidity Provider in respect of payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. If the Borrower provides a written request (which shall be considered prior written consent under subsection (vi) of the definition of Covered Taxes), the Liquidity Provider agrees to use commercially 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

 

   17   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 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), net of any related out-of-pocket expenses, or net benefit. The Borrower, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, shall repay to the Liquidity Provider the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (a) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental or taxing authority) in the event that the Liquidity Provider is required to repay such refund to such governmental or taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (a), in no event will the Liquidity Provider be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (a) the payment of which would place the Liquidity Provider in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Liquidity Provider would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or net Tax benefit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (a) shall not be construed to require the Liquidity Provider to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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 originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid United States 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.

If a payment made to the Liquidity Provider or Borrower hereunder would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), it shall deliver to the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the United States Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, as may be necessary for the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Liquidity Provider or Borrower has complied with the Liquidity Provider’s or Borrower’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(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.

On or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall provide the Liquidity Provider with its fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, showing a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding. If any other 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 12:00 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 set forth below or such other United States 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.

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


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 AA Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class AA 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 AA 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 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 (i) subject to Section 3.07(h), an Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall always be a LIBOR Advance and (ii) an Applied Provider Advance and an Applied Special Termination Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance from the date of its withdrawal from the Class AA Cash Collateral Account.

(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).

      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class AA)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(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 or Unapplied Downgrade Advance (each, an “Unapplied Advance”), as the case may be, shall bear interest, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Investment Earnings on the amounts on deposit in the Class AA Cash Collateral Account on account of such Unapplied Advance during the period beginning on the later of the date of deposit of such Unapplied Advance and the preceding Regular Distribution Date and ending on the last day prior to such Regular Distribution Date and (ii) an amount equal to interest at the Applicable Margin on the amount of such Unapplied Advance during such period.

(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 the next succeeding 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 and American. 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 percent (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 of 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”.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Event all Advances shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that the Applicable Margin in respect of any such Advance that previously accrued interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be increased by one percent (1.00%).

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.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall 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), and the Liquidity Provider shall have the right to assign its rights and transfer its obligations hereunder in connection with the arranging of a Replacement Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that any such assignment and transfer is consented to by American.

(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 (and, if all such conditions are satisfied with respect to any Participation, the Liquidity Provider may grant such Participation): (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, any laws or regulations imposing United States economic sanctions measures or any orders or licenses issued thereunder 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. Notwithstanding any such Participation, the Liquidity Provider agrees that (1) the Liquidity Provider’s obligations under the Operative Agreements shall remain unchanged, and such participant shall have no rights or benefits as against American or the Borrower or under any Operative Agreement, (2) the Liquidity Provider shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the Operative Agreements for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Liquidity Provider shall remain the maker of any Advances, and the other parties to the Operative Agreements shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Liquidity Provider in connection with the Advances and the Liquidity Provider’s rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements, (4) the Liquidity Provider shall be solely responsible for any withholding Taxes or any filing or reporting requirements relating to such Participation and shall hold the Borrower and American and their respective successors, permitted assigns, affiliates, agents and servants harmless against the same and (5) neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Liquidity Provider any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, in determining amounts due by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.03 of this Agreement, references in this Agreement to determinations, reserve, liquidity and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are commercial banking institutions and of whose participation the Borrower has been notified, in each case up to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider, and references to the Liquidity Provider therein and in related definitions shall be treated as references to such participants where applicable; provided that in any event, neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider sells a Participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in this Agreement.

(c) The Liquidity Provider agrees that, as a condition of any Participation, the participant shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with respect to any income derived by such participant from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower two properly completed executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide each of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or document expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or document previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment to be made to the participant pursuant to the Operative Agreements, certifying that such participant is entitled to a complete exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or that it is no longer so entitled and (iv) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements is exempt from or

entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. The Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Borrower such information as the Borrower may reasonably request about the Liquidity Provider or a participant to satisfy any reporting or other Tax obligations of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement; provided that the Liquidity Provider shall not be required to provide any such information (other than the names of participants, percentage of participation and copies of such participants’ withholding tax forms) which is not within its possession or which is confidential.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.09 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT 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.

(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).

Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic Reduction.

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 or Special Termination Advance or the making of or conversion to a 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, except in the case of a Downgrade Advance, as provided in Section 2.06(d).

   12   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the earliest), 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 portion of the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any such withdrawal, but not in excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, 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; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that is an Applied 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; and, provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(b), any Unapplied Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement. 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 so repaid 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 shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

(d) If, at any time after making a Downgrade Advance, the Liquidity Provider satisfies the Threshold Rating and delivers written notice to that effect to the Borrower and American, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such notice, (i) this Liquidity Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility, (ii) any Unapplied Downgrade Advance shall be withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account and reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, (iii) any Applied Downgrade Advance shall be converted to an Interest Advance, (iv) the Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Unapplied Downgrade Advance so reimbursed, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment, and the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make Advances shall be reinstated in an equal amount, (v) the Borrower shall be entitled to request Borrowings and (vi) the proviso in the definition of Maximum Available Commitment and the proviso in the final sentence of Section 2.02(a) shall, in each case, no longer apply to such Downgrade Advance.

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.

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 Advances or its obligation to make any such 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 or the obligation to make 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 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 (it being agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by (i) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated or issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) including, but not limited to the Consultative Documents entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and “International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated December 2009 or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall not be considered to have been proposed or 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 (i) deduct or withhold and shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld , (ii) 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 and (iii) within 30 days after the date of a payment to the relevant authorities furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other reasonable evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Liquidity Provider, within 10 Business Days of demand therefor the full amount of Covered Taxes paid or payable by the Liquidity Provider in respect of payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. If the Borrower provides a written request (which shall be considered prior written consent under subsection (vi) of the definition of Covered Taxes), the Liquidity Provider agrees to use commercially 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

 

   17   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 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), net of any related out-of-pocket expenses, or net benefit. The Borrower, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, shall repay to the Liquidity Provider the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (a) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental or taxing authority) in the event that the Liquidity Provider is required to repay such refund to such governmental or taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (a), in no event will the Liquidity Provider be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (a) the payment of which would place the Liquidity Provider in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Liquidity Provider would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or net Tax benefit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (a) shall not be construed to require the Liquidity Provider to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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 originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid United States 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.

If a payment made to the Liquidity Provider or Borrower hereunder would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), it shall deliver to the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the United States Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, as may be necessary for the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Liquidity Provider or Borrower has complied with the Liquidity Provider’s or Borrower’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(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.

On or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall provide the Liquidity Provider with its fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, showing a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding. If any other 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 12:00 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 set forth below or such other United States 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.

      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


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 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(i) subject to Section 3.07(h), an Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall always be a LIBOR Advance and (ii) an Applied Provider Advance and an Applied Special Termination Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance from the date of its withdrawal from the Class A Cash Collateral Account.

(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).

 

   20   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(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 or Unapplied Downgrade Advance (each, an “Unapplied Advance”), as the case may be, shall bear interest, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Investment Earnings on the amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of such Unapplied Advance during the period beginning on the later of the date of deposit of such Unapplied Advance and the preceding Regular Distribution Date and ending on the last day prior to such Regular Distribution Date and (ii) an amount equal to interest at the Applicable Margin on the amount of such Unapplied Advance during such period.

(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 the next succeeding 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 and American. 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 percent (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 of 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”.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Event all Advances shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that the Applicable Margin in respect of any such Advance that previously accrued interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be increased by one percent (1.00%).

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.

(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 (and, if all such conditions are satisfied with respect to any Participation, the Liquidity Provider may grant such Participation): (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, any laws or regulations imposing United States economic sanctions measures or any orders or licenses issued thereunder 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.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, in determining amounts due by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.03 of this Agreement, references in this Agreement to determinations, reserve, liquidity and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are commercial banking institutions and of whose participation the Borrower has been notified, in each case up to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider, and references to the Liquidity Provider therein and in related definitions shall be treated as references to such participants where applicable; provided that in any event, neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider sells a Participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in this Agreement.

(c) The Liquidity Provider agrees that, as a condition of any Participation, the participant shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with respect to any income derived by such participant from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower two properly completed executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide each of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or document expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or document previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment to be made to the participant pursuant to the Operative Agreements, certifying that such participant is entitled to a complete exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or that it is no longer so entitled and (iv) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements is exempt from or

The Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Borrower such information as the Borrower may reasonably request about the Liquidity Provider or a participant to satisfy any reporting or other Tax obligations of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement; provided that the Liquidity Provider shall not be required to provide any such information (other than the names of participants, percentage of participation and copies of such participants’ withholding tax forms) which is not within its possession or which is confidential.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.09 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT 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.

Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class B 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 so repaid 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 B 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 shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

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 Advances or its obligation to make any such 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 or the obligation to make 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 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 (it being agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by (i) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated or issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) including, but not limited to the Consultative Documents entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and “International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated December 2009 or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall not be considered to have been proposed or 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 (i) deduct or withhold and shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld , (ii) 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 and (iii) within 30 days after the date of a payment to the relevant authorities furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other reasonable evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Liquidity Provider, within 10 Business Days of demand therefor the full amount of Covered Taxes paid or payable by the Liquidity Provider in respect of payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. If the Borrower provides a written request (which shall be considered prior written consent under subsection (vi) of the definition of Covered Taxes), the Liquidity Provider agrees to use commercially 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

 

   17   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 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), net of any related out-of-pocket expenses, or net benefit. The Borrower, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, shall repay to the Liquidity Provider the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (a) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental or taxing authority) in the event that the Liquidity Provider is required to repay such refund to such governmental or taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (a), in no event will the Liquidity Provider be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (a) the payment of which would place the Liquidity Provider in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Liquidity Provider would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or net Tax benefit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (a) shall not be construed to require the Liquidity Provider to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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 originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid United States 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.

If a payment made to the Liquidity Provider or Borrower hereunder would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), it shall deliver to the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the United States Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, as may be necessary for the Borrower or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Liquidity Provider or Borrower has complied with the Liquidity Provider’s or Borrower’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(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.

On or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall provide the Liquidity Provider with its fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, showing a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding. If any other 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 12:00 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 set forth below or such other United States 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.

      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


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 B Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class B 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 B 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 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 (i) subject to Section 3.07(h), an Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall always be a LIBOR Advance and (ii) an Applied Provider Advance and an Applied Special Termination Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance from the date of its withdrawal from the Class B Cash Collateral Account.

(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).

 

   20   
      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


(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 or Unapplied Downgrade Advance (each, an “Unapplied Advance”), as the case may be, shall bear interest, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Investment Earnings on the amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account on account of such Unapplied Advance during the period beginning on the later of the date of deposit of such Unapplied Advance and the preceding Regular Distribution Date and ending on the last day prior to such Regular Distribution Date and (ii) an amount equal to interest at the Applicable Margin on the amount of such Unapplied Advance during such period.

(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 the next succeeding 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 and American. 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 percent (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 of 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”.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Event all Advances shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that the Applicable Margin in respect of any such Advance that previously accrued interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be increased by one percent (1.00%).

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.

Section 7.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Operative Agreement to which it is a party or (iv) otherwise excluded from the indemnification provisions contained in Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements. The provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.09, 7.05 and 7.07 and the indemnities contained in Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.06 Liability of the Liquidity Provider.

In no event, however, shall the Liquidity Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees or directors or affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder or (ii) any action, inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or gross negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider’s potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.

the Liquidity Provider of its obligations under any Operative Agreement. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in the United States in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to save the Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes or fees.

Section 7.08 Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall 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), and the Liquidity Provider shall have the right to assign its rights and transfer its obligations hereunder in connection with the arranging of a Replacement Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that any such assignment and transfer is consented to by American.

(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 (and, if all such conditions are satisfied with respect to any Participation, the Liquidity Provider may grant such Participation): (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, any laws or regulations imposing United States economic sanctions measures or any orders or licenses issued thereunder 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. Notwithstanding any such Participation, the Liquidity Provider agrees that (1) the Liquidity Provider’s obligations under the Operative Agreements shall remain unchanged, and such participant shall have no rights or benefits as against American or the Borrower or under any Operative Agreement, (2) the Liquidity Provider shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the Operative Agreements for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Liquidity Provider shall remain the maker of any Advances, and the other parties to the Operative Agreements shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Liquidity Provider in connection with the Advances and the Liquidity Provider’s rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements, (4) the Liquidity Provider shall be solely responsible for any withholding Taxes or any filing or reporting requirements relating to such Participation and shall hold the Borrower and American and their respective successors, permitted assigns, affiliates, agents and servants harmless against the same and (5) neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Liquidity Provider any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider. The Liquidity Provider may, in connection with any Participation or proposed Participation pursuant to this Section 7.08(b), disclose to the participant or proposed participant any

      Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
      (American Airlines 2019-1 Aircraft EETC)


information relating to the Operative Agreements or to the parties thereto furnished to the Liquidity Provider thereunder or in connection therewith and permitted to be disclosed by the Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the participant or proposed participant shall agree in writing for the express benefit of the Borrower and American to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information included therein (subject to customary exceptions). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, in determining amounts due by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.03 of this Agreement, references in this Agreement to determinations, reserve, liquidity and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are commercial banking institutions and of whose participation the Borrower has been notified, in each case up to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider, and references to the Liquidity Provider therein and in related definitions shall be treated as references to such participants where applicable; provided that in any event, neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider sells a Participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in this Agreement.

(c) The Liquidity Provider agrees that, as a condition of any Participation, the participant shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with respect to any income derived by such participant from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower two properly completed executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide each of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or document expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or document previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment to be made to the participant pursuant to the Operative Agreements, certifying that such participant is entitled to a complete exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding for all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or that it is no longer so entitled and (iv) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements is exempt from or

entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. The Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Borrower such information as the Borrower may reasonably request about the Liquidity Provider or a participant to satisfy any reporting or other Tax obligations of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement; provided that the Liquidity Provider shall not be required to provide any such information (other than the names of participants, percentage of participation and copies of such participants’ withholding tax forms) which is not within its possession or which is confidential.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.09 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT 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.

(a) Each of the parties hereto, to the extent it may do so under applicable law, for purposes hereof 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, (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, (iii) agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other address of which each party shall have been notified pursuant thereto and (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law.

Morgan Securities LLC, ICBC Standard Bank Plc, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., MUFG Securities America Inc., Standard Chartered Bank, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and BOK Financial Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”) by Wilmington Trust Company, as the pass through trustee (in such capacity under the Pass Through Trust Agreements, the “Pass Through Trustee”), of $578,712,000 aggregate face amount of American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1AA (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class AA Certificates”), $289,358,000 aggregate face amount of American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1A (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class A Certificates”) and $228,438,000 aggregate face amount of American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2019-1B (Aircraft EETC) (the “Class B Certificates” and, together with the Class AA Certificates and Class A Certificates, collectively, the “Pass Through Certificates”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 22, 2017 (Registration No. 333-216167-01) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus, dated February 22, 2017 (the “Base Prospectus”), included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective, a preliminary prospectus supplement with respect to the Pass Through Certificates, dated August 1, 2019 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, a final prospectus supplement with respect to the Pass Through Certificates, dated August 1, 2019 (the “Prospectus Supplement”, together with the

Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, and an underwriting agreement with respect to the Pass Through Certificates, dated August 1, 2019, among Citigroup and Credit Suisse, as representatives of the Underwriters, and the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Depositary. The Pass Through Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “Pass Through Trust Agreement” and, the Pass Through Trust Agreement, together with Trust Supplement No. 2019-1AA, Trust Supplement No. 2019-1A and Trust Supplement No. 2019-1B, each dated as of the date hereof, the “Pass Through Trust Agreements”), between the Company and the Pass Through Trustee. This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Pass Through Certificates.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York and the general corporation law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Pass Through Trustee, enforceable against the Company and the Pass Through Trustee in accordance with its terms, and each of the Pass Through Certificates has been validly issued and is entitled to the benefits provided by the related Pass Through Trust Agreement.

Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion as to: (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (c) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (d) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (e) grants of setoff rights; (f) any provision requiring the payment of

attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (g) proxies and powers of attorney; (h) provisions prohibiting, restricting or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property; (i) the creation, validity, attachment, perfection, or priority of any lien or security interest; (j) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (k) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; and (l) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

With your consent, we have assumed: (a) that the Pass Through Trust Agreements and the Pass Through Certificates (collectively, the “Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company; (b) that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company and the Pass Through Trustee, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms; and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated as of the date hereof and to the reference to our firm contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the headings “Validity of the Certificates” and “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,
