WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives of the Underwriters, the

Investors pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, subject to withdrawal upon request of and proper certification by the Pass Through Trustee for the purpose of purchasing Equipment Notes, and that pending such withdrawal the Net Proceeds
be deposited by the Escrow Agent with the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement, which provides for the Depositary to pay interest for distribution to the Investors and to establish accounts from which the Escrow Agent shall make withdrawals upon
request of and proper certification by the Pass Through Trustee. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Acceptance of Depositary; Establishment of Accounts. 

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

Section 1.2. Establishment of Accounts. The Escrow Agent hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish
the separate deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an
“Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Depositary shall establish and maintain all Accounts at a branch
of the Depositary located in the United States. 
 SECTION 2. Deposit Mechanics. 

Section 2.1. Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement
(the “Deposit Date”) in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to: Crédit Agricole CIB, ABA No. 026 008 073, Account Name: Money Market, Account Number: 0188180320500, Reference: American Airlines 2015-1 Initial
Deposit A, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$947,778,000. Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing in accordance with this Agreement (together with any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, individually, a “Deposit” and, collectively, the “Deposits”) and (ii) credit each
Deposit to the related Account as set forth herein. No amount shall be deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit. 

  
 2 








 Section 2.2. Interest. Each Deposit shall bear interest from and including the date
of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal (it being understood that the date of withdrawal in the case of any payment by the Depositary of the amount of the Final Withdrawal (as defined below) on the Outside Termination Date (as defined
below) shall be deemed to be the date of such payment) at the rate of 3.375% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date (as defined below), on the date of any Final Withdrawal, on the date of any Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below) or on the date of any Event of Loss Withdrawal (as defined below), as applicable, all in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Interest Payment Date”, with respect to each Deposit that, as of any date of determination, has not been withdrawn pursuant to a Final Withdrawal, a Replacement Withdrawal or an
Event of Loss Withdrawal, shall mean each of May 1 and November 1, commencing on November 1, 2015 and ending on the earlier of May 1 and November 1 immediately following the date on which such Deposit is withdrawn pursuant
to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as defined below); provided that interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date following the related Purchase
Withdrawal, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal or Event of Loss Withdrawal with respect to any other Deposit and notwithstanding the fact that the relevant Account may have been closed before such Interest Payment Date, but, if any
intervening Replacement Withdrawal occurs before such next Interest Payment Date, such accrued interest shall, instead, be paid on the date of such Replacement Withdrawal. All interest paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be non-compounding. 

Section 2.3. Withdrawals. 

(a) Purchase Withdrawal. The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least two Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the
Depositary in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Purchase Withdrawal”), withdraw the entire balance of such Deposit (but not any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (with respect to any Deposit, such withdrawal, the
“Purchase Withdrawal”), except that at any time prior to the actual withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by notice to the Depositary, which notice has been actually received by the Depositary
prior to such actual withdrawal, cancel such withdrawal (including on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof. Following the Purchase
Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other
day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York, Fort Worth, Texas or Wilmington, Delaware. The Depositary may reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written notice to American, the Escrow
Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice for any withdrawal. 

  
 3 








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

(i) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B
hereto (a “Notice of Final Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits together with (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of such
withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Final Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of
Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary on or before the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on
the Outside Termination Date. Following the Final Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, the term “Outside Termination
Date” shall mean December 31, 2015 (provided that, if a labor strike occurs or continues at either The Boeing Company or Embraer S.A. after the Issuance Date and on or prior to December 31, 2015, 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 and excluding any period of a strike at The Boeing Company or Embraer S.A. after all aircraft of such manufacturer shall have
been financed hereunder). 
 (ii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least five Business Days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the
Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) with respect to all Deposits then held by the Depositary, (1) the entire amount of such Deposits together with
(2) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of such Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below) and (y) with respect to all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the date of the applicable Purchase Withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the
“Replacement Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal. 
 (iii) The
Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) the entire balance of such Deposit
together with (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposit to but excluding the specified date of such withdrawal (with respect to any Deposit, such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses
(x) and (y), the “Event of Loss Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal. Following such Event of Loss Withdrawal, the balance in the related Account shall be
reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. The Depositary may reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written notice to American, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice for
any withdrawal. 
 (c) Compliance with Withdrawal Notices. If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase Withdrawal,
Notice of Final Withdrawal, Notice of Replacement Withdrawal or Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal (each, a “Withdrawal Notice”) complying 

  
 4 








 
with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in no event shall the Depositary be required, pursuant to any Withdrawal Notice or otherwise, to make payments hereunder on or in respect of any Deposit in excess of the amount of such Deposit together with accrued interest thereon as
provided in this Agreement. 
 Section 2.4. Other Accounts. On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit (other than the date of any
Final Withdrawal, Replacement Withdrawal or Event of Loss Withdrawal), the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the
Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions
of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date. The Depositary may reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written notice to American, the
Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice for any withdrawal. 
 SECTION 3. Termination. This
Agreement shall terminate on the fifth Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the
Deposits shall have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 4. Payments. All payments made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available
funds by wire transfer (i) in the cases of (w) accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof, (x) any Final Withdrawal, (y) any Event of Loss Withdrawal or (z) accrued and unpaid
interest on all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, which interest is payable pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company, Wilmington,
Delaware, ABA# 031100092, Corporate Trust, Account No. 111544-000, Reference: American Airlines 2015-1A EETC, or to such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent,
(ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal and
(iii) the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits then held by the Depositary together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified
and in the manner provided in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or
otherwise) it may have against the Deposits howsoever arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively, “Taxes”). However, if the Depositary shall be required by law (or if the Paying Agent shall have notified the Depositary that, pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow
and Paying Agent 

  
 5 








 
Agreement, the Paying Agent is required by law) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make, or cause to be made, such
deductions or withholding, and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, the full amount deducted or withheld to the competent taxation authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by France or any political subdivision thereof (other than pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement with the United States pursuant to FATCA or under implementing legislation or administrative rules thereunder), pay such additional amounts as may
be necessary in order that the actual amount received by the designated recipient of such sum under this Agreement or the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement after such deduction or withholding equals the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required. If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall
accrue in respect of such extension. For purposes of this Section 4, “FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable
and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof. 
 SECTION 5.
Representation and Warranties. The Depositary hereby represents and warrants to American, the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through Trustee and the Paying Agent that: 

(a) it is a société anonyme duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of France and is duly licensed
to conduct banking business in the State of New York; 
 (b) it has full power, authority and legal right to conduct its business and
operations as currently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; 
 (c) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of it and do not require any stockholder approval, or approval or consent of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligations of it, and
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof; 

(d) no authorization, consent or approval of or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement; 
 (e) neither the
execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
will require any consent or approval under, any law, governmental rule or regulation or the charter documents, as amended, or bylaws, as amended, of it or any similar instrument binding on it or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority against it or by which it or any of its properties is bound or of any indenture, mortgage or contract or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, or constitutes or
will constitute a default thereunder or results or will result in the imposition of any lien upon any of its properties; and 

  
 6 








 (f) there are no pending or, to its knowledge, threatened actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings (whether or not purportedly on behalf of it) against or affecting it or any of its property before or by any court or administrative agency which, if adversely determined, (i) would adversely affect the ability of it to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) would call into question or challenge the validity of this Agreement or the enforceability hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, nor is the Depositary in default with respect to any order of any
court, governmental authority, arbitration board or administrative agency so as to adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

SECTION 6. Transfer. Neither party hereto shall be entitled to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement (or any interest herein)
other than (i) in the case of the Escrow Agent, to a successor escrow agent under, and in accordance with, the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and (ii) in the case of the Depositary, to a bank (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended from time to time, for purposes of Section 3(a)(2) thereof) into which the Depositary shall merge or with which the Depositary shall be consolidated. Any purported assignment in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and (in the case of the Escrow Agent) permitted assigns. The Depositary agrees to cause any bank into which the Depositary shall merge or with which the
Depositary shall be consolidated to deliver to the Escrow Agent an agreement containing the express assumption by such successor bank as of the effective date of such merger or consolidation, as applicable, of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement unless such assumption shall be effective as a matter of law even in the absence of such agreement. 

SECTION 7. Amendment, Etc. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom the amendment, waiver or other modification is sought to be enforced and by the Pass Through Trustee. 
 SECTION 8.
Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice or other communication under this Agreement shall be in English and in writing, and given by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight
courier service or facsimile, and any such notice shall be effective when received. All notices shall be sent to (x) in the case of the Depositary, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, acting through its New York Branch, 1301

certificate containing specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow Agent who are authorized to give notices and instructions with respect to this Agreement. The Depositary may conclusively rely on such certificate until the Depositary
receives written notice from the Escrow Agent to the contrary. 
 SECTION 9. Obligations Unconditional. The Depositary hereby
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to repay each Deposit together with interest thereon as provided herein is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and constitutes a full recourse obligation of the Depositary enforceable against it to the
full extent of all of its assets and properties. 
 SECTION 10. Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement (including all
attachments hereto) sets forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and understandings between the Depositary and the Escrow Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements
and undertakings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and a provision in any other document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. 
 SECTION 11. Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the Depositary and the Escrow Agent with
respect to the Deposits, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York 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 and subject to the provisions of Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), as the same may be modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time. 

SECTION 12. Submission to Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction in New York. Each of the parties hereto, to the extent it may do so under
applicable law, hereby (a) 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 their
successors or permitted assigns, (b) 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, (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a 

  
 8 








 
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 8 hereof, or at
such other address of which the other parties shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and (d) 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. 
 SECTION 13. Waiver of Jury Trial Right. EACH OF THE DEPOSITARY AND THE ESCROW AGENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND
ACCEPTS THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 

SECTION 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each party shall not be required to
execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement including a signature page or pages executed by each of the parties hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts together constitute one
instrument. The parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties. The original documents shall be promptly delivered, if requested. 

SECTION 15. Head Office Obligations. Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank hereby agrees that the obligations of the
Depositary hereunder are also the obligations of Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank’s Head Office in Paris, France. Accordingly, any beneficiary of this Agreement will be able to proceed directly against Crédit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank’s Head Office in Paris, France, if Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank’s New York Branch defaults in its obligations to such beneficiary under this Agreement. 

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. 

  
 9 








 SECTION 18. Miscellaneous. (a) The Depositary shall have only those duties as are
specifically and expressly provided herein 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 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, the provisions of
this Agreement shall control. 
 (c) 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  

  
 10 








 
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. 
 (d) The Escrow Agent has provided the Depositary
with its fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9. 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 United States federal,
state or local income or franchise tax returns required to be filed 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. The Escrow Agent
acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any United States 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. 
 (e) 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, 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 facsimile 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 Schedule II. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Depositary. If the
Depositary is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in Schedule II, the Depositary is hereby authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Escrow Agent’s executive
officers (each an “Executive Officer” and, collectively, “Executive Officers”), as the case may be, which shall include the titles of Assistant Vice President or Vice President, as the Depositary may select. Such
Executive Officer shall deliver to the Depositary a fully executed incumbency certificate, and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. 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 

  
 11 








 
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.
