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 3.65% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) payable by the Depositary 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

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

Withdrawal. All interest paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be non-compounding.

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 September 30, 2017 (provided that, if a labor strike occurs or continues at either Airbus S.A.S., The Boeing Company or Embraer S.A. after the Issuance Date and on or prior to

 (c)    Compliance with Withdrawal Notices. If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal, Notice of Final Withdrawal, Notice of Replacement Withdrawal or Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal (each, a “Withdrawal Notice”) complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified

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

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.

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

written notice shall specify the required deductions and withholdings and direct the Depositary to give effect to such notice), the Depositary shall (i) make, or cause to be made, such deductions or withholding and (ii) timely pay, or
cause to be paid, to the appropriate authority the full amount deducted or withheld and timely file all reports and returns relating to such deductions or withholdings and payment thereof in accordance with applicable law. If the date on which any

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 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

Deposit Agreement (Class AA) 

(American Airlines 2017-1 Aircraft EETC) 








 
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. 
 (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. 

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 

  
 11 

Deposit Agreement (Class AA) 

(American Airlines 2017-1 Aircraft EETC) 








 
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.
