Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the
Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment
Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if: 

(1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

interests in the Global Note in an amount not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Global Note have delivered to the Company and the Trustee a notice indicating that the continuation of the book-entry system
through the Depositary is no longer in the best interests of the holders of such beneficial interests; or

in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for

 35 









 
who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will
take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10,
3.06, 3.07, 4.10, and 9.04 hereof). 
 (3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 
 (A)
to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on
the day of selection;

submitted to the Company and the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered
to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note
if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent
and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note
effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If
the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and
after that date the Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09
Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be
substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the
Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

  
 37 









 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange
or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange

 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the
Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on
each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for
such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13
Further Issuances. 
 The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes,
increase the principal amount of the Notes under this Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any Additional Notes so issued shall have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and,
under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon shall begin to accrue), and shall carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such Additional Notes shall form a single series
with the Notes; provided that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes must be issued under a separate CUSIP number. 

Section 2.14 No Reissuance of Notes. 
 The Company may not reissue a Note that has matured, been redeemed, been purchased by the Company at the Holder’s option upon a Change of Control or otherwise been canceled, except for registration
of transfer, exchange or replacement of such Note.

to the redemption date. 
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed subject to DTC’s Applicable

outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed in principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, any selection
of Notes to be redeemed shall be subject to the Applicable Procedures in the case of any Global Note. The Trustee will make the selection at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date from outstanding Notes not previously
called for redemption. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 hereof. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the
redemption date; 
 (b) the redemption price; 
 (c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (d) if any Notes are being
redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of the Notes, new Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Notes shall be
issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Notes;

provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and
setting forth the information to be stated in such notice. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 Once notice of redemption is mailed as provided in Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable
on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, the Notes shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. If the redemption
notice is given and funds deposited as required by Section 3.05, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the Notes or portions of such Notes called for redemption.

On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to

or other payment due to the delay. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of Notes that are redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note of the same maturity equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

The Company, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice delivered to each registered Holder of the Notes to
be redeemed, may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in case of either the preceding clause (1) or (2), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes being redeemed to (but not including) such redemption date.

 (23) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
consisting of take-or-pay or like obligations contained in supply, maintenance, repair, power-by-the-hour, overhaul or like agreements either (A) entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business or (B) otherwise customary, typical or
appropriate for a Permitted Business; 
 (24) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of additional Indebtedness that is either (A) unsecured and expressly contractually subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Notes and Guarantor Obligations on terms not materially less favorable to the
Holders of the Notes than those customary at the time of incurrence (determined in good faith by a senior financial officer of the Company) for senior subordinated “high yield” debt securities or (B) unsecured, pari passu with all
Notes and Guarantor Obligations and convertible into common stock of the Company; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) together, including all Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, extend, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (24), does not exceed $1,500,000,000 at any time outstanding; and 

(25) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate

$3,000,000,000, at any time outstanding. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, if an item
of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt set forth in clauses (1) through (25) of Section 4.08(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) hereof, the Company
shall be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08; provided
that the term “Existing Indebtedness” shall not include any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under clause (1) or (3) of the definition of Permitted Debt. Additionally, all or any portion of any item of
Indebtedness may later be reclassified as having been incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) hereof or under any category of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (25) of Section 4.08(b) so long as such item (or portion)
of Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification. 
 (d) None of the
following shall constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08: 
 (1) the accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends; 
 (2) the
accretion or amortization of original issue discount; 
 (3) the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the
form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms; 
 (4) the reclassification of preferred stock or of
operating leases or any other instrument or transaction as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles or in GAAP or due to a modification of such operating leases; and 

(5) the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class
of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock. 

  
 50 









 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on
the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely
as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 (f) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any
date shall be: 
 (1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness as of such date, in the case of any Indebtedness
issued with original issue discount; 
 (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness as of such date, in the case
of any other Indebtedness; and 
 (3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the
assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 
 (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets as of such date; and

 (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person as of such date. 

Section 4.09 Reserved. 
 Section 4.10 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
 (a) If a
Change of Control occurs, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a
“Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to (but not including) the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall deliver (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and stating: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to
this Section 4.10 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and
the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders of Notes electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to
surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer the Notes by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close
of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

  
 51 









 (6) that Holders of Notes shall be entitled to withdraw their election if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount
of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that Holders of Notes whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion
must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment
Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver (or pay by wire transfer) (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control
Payment Date) to each Holder of the Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such
Holder, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment
Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes: 

(1) the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party
makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or
(ii) notice of redemption with respect to all Notes has been given pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price; and 

  
 52 









 (2) a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control,
conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to make a Change of Control Offer would constitute a Default under clause (3) of the definition of “Event of Default” in
Section 6.01 hereof and not clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Event of Default” in Section 6.01 hereof, but the failure of the Company to pay the Change of Control Payment when due shall constitute a Default under
clause (1) of the definition of “Event of Default” in Section 6.01 hereof. 
 Section 4.11
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Guarantor) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all
outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation. That designation shall be permitted
only if the Investment would be permitted at that time under Section 4.07 hereof and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the
Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions. The Board of Directors of
the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of
any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall be permitted only if (i) the incurrence of such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.08 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such
designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period and (ii) no Default would be in existence following such designation. 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, none of US Airways Group, US Airways or American may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01 Merger and Sales of Assets. 
 (a) The Company and any Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s properties and assets to, any

Notes and this Indenture (in the case of the Company) or the obligations under the applicable Note Guarantee (in the case of a Guarantor); and 

  
 53 









 (2) except in connection with any Airlines Merger or a merger of US Airways
Group with the Company or a Guarantor, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Company shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) complies with this
Indenture. 
 (b) Any such successor shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the
Company or such Guarantor, whichever is party to such transaction, under this Indenture, but the predecessor issuer, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its assets, shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of
and interest on the Notes. 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.01 shall not restrict mergers, conveyances,
transfers or leases by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not the Company or a Guarantor. 
 Section 5.02
Successor Corporation Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or
other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company herein; provided,
however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease) shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.  

ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 
 An “Event of
Default” occurs with respect to the Notes if any of the following occurs: 
 (1) default in any payment
of the principal amount or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when such amount becomes due and payable at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; 

(2) failure to pay interest on the Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such failure continues for a
period of 30 days; 
 (3) failure to comply with any of the covenants or agreements applicable to the Notes
(other than those referred to in (1) or (2) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below; 
 (4) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or a Guarantor
denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under its Note Guarantee; or 

  
 54 









 (5) the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 
 (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(E) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it; 

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, 
 (B) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its (or their) property, or 
 (C) orders the
liquidation of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed
and in effect for 60 days. 
 A Default under clause (3) of this Section 6.01 shall not constitute an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such
notice. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar
official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(5) or
Section 6.01(6)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or 6.01(6) shall occur, the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

  
 55 









 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Notes has been made
and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 6, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the recession would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal and
interest, if any, of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

(b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof, 

then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable
on the Notes for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Notes, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys
adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 6.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

  
 56 









 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Notes. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 Section 6.06 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06; and 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 

Third: To the Company. 
 Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Notes shall have
any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes; 
 it being understood, intended and
expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Note with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 6.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Notes shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes on the Stated Maturity of the Notes, including the Stated Maturity expressed in the Notes (or, in the case of redemption, on the
redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or
any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in
Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent
the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any 

  
 58 









 
such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may
be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12 Control by Holders.

 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for the Notes, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided that: 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, 

(c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and 
 (d) prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 Section 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

 By notice to the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive
an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, (ii) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Notes
when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (iii) a Default in respect of a provision that under this Indenture cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder of the Notes affected. 

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Notes by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes on or after the Stated Maturity of the Notes, including the Stated Maturity expressed in the Notes (or, in the
case of redemption, on the redemption date).

 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

 (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’
Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform
to the form requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does
not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to the Notes in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
respect to the Notes in accordance with Section 6.12. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
performing such duty or exercising such right or power. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 60 









 (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if adequate indemnity against such risk is not assured to the Trustee in its satisfaction. 

(h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections and immunities as are set forth in
paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 7.01 and in Section 7.02, each with respect to the Trustee. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it hereunder without willful misconduct or negligence, and in reliance thereon. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Notes unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (i) In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 

  
 61 









 (j) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture
shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so. 
 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not
be responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except
in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not
be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) and hold it harmless against any cost, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in
the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers,
directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence. 

  
 62 









 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on the Notes. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Indenture. 
 Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes by so
notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee with respect to those Notes by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The
Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.09; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Notes for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of the Notes.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by
it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement. 

  
 63 









 Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.09. 
 Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 There will at all times
be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as
contemplated by Section 8.03 or 8.04. 
 (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. 

(c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the Company’s request any Government Securities or money
held by it as provided in Sections 8.03 or 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount
thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such Government Securities or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any Government Securities held under
this Indenture.

4.08, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01 as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for the Notes (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes under

 Section 8.06 Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Holders of Notes in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or

 67 









 
8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made
any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government
Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment in full to the Holders. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

period of grace after Default, which may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults, may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the right of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes to waive such Default; 
 (d) to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision contained in this
Indenture, in any supplemental indenture, Officers’ Certificate or in the Notes that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or therein;

matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of the Notes; 
 (f)
to modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture under the TIA as then in effect; 
 (g) to add to or change any provisions of this Indenture to such extent as necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of the Notes in bearer or uncertificated form, provided that any such

 (h) to provide security
for the Notes; or 
 (i) to provide additional guarantees for the Notes; 

(j) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Notes; or

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Notes. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange offer for Notes) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. 
 Without the
consent of each Holder of an affected Note, an amendment may not: 
 (a) make any change to the percentage of principal amount
of Notes the Holders of which must consent to an amendment or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal amount of, premium, if any, or
interest on, or extend the Stated Maturity or interest payment periods, of the Notes; 
 (c) make the Notes of such Holder
payable in money or securities other than that as stated in the Notes;

Holder’s right to require the Company to purchase the Notes of such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(e) impair the right of such Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to the Notes; 

(f) except pursuant to the provisions of Article 8 hereto or in connection with a consolidation, merger or conveyance, transfer or lease
of assets pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Indenture, release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee or make any change in any Note Guarantee that would adversely affect such Holder; 

(g) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waiving an existing Default or to the right to receive payment of, or
bring suit to enforce payments of, the principal amount of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; or 
 (h) modify any of
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

  
 69 









 Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of the Notes is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder the Notes or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Notes, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Notes. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Notes or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 

Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of the Notes affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type
set forth in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.02. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of the Notes who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of the Notes or portion of a Notes that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder of the Notes. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or take any such action, whether or
not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
 Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 The Company or the
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on the Notes thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 Section 9.05 Trustee Protected 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 11.02. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures
upon delivery of such an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights. 

ARTICLE 10. 
 NOTE
GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Note Guarantees. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety, on a joint and several basis, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including, in case of default, interest on principal
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue interest and including any additional interest required to be paid according to the terms of the Notes), if any, on the Notes, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at
Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture and all other obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes to any
Holder or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder. Each 

  
 70 









 
Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the
Guarantor Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness, and except for claims of creditors that are mandatorily preferred by law, in which case
the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank junior in right of payment to such claims. 
 (b) To
evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supplement thereto, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto) and, in the case of additional Guarantors added
pursuant to Section 9.01(i) hereof, a supplement to the Note Guarantee, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (d) If an Officer
whose signature is on this Indenture (or a supplement thereto) or any notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note, the Note Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless. 

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or
in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Section 10.01 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation. 

(f) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations. 
 (g) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations. 
 (h) Except as set forth in Section 10.04, the
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guarantor Obligations; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor;
(f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing
which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

  
 71 









 (i) Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 5.01 or Section 8.01 hereof. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder
upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 (j) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation
of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after
the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for postfiling or post-petition interest is allowed in such
proceeding). 
 (k) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the
other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee. 
 (l) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any
and all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 Section 10.02. Right of Contribution. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company
or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor
shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

Section 10.03. No Subrogation. 
 Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other
Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to
any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been 

  
 72 









 
paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations. 

Section 10.04. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. 

Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of a Note hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that
in no event shall any Guarantor Obligations under the Note Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent
transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the Guarantor Obligations, if any, in respect of the Notes would, but for this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
or violation, then the liability of the applicable Guarantor under its Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent
transfer or conveyance or similar law.

 EXHIBIT A 
 [Back of Note] 
 5.50% Senior Notes due 2019 

1. INTEREST. American Airlines Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.50% per annum from
                    ,              until maturity. The Company will pay
interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will
accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
                    ,             . The Company will pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if the Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 4. INDENTURE. The
Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

 EXHIBIT A 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION; CHANGE OF CONTROL
RERPURCHASE. 
 a. The Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes being redeemed to (but not including) such redemption date. 

b. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to (but not including) the date of purchase. 
 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first-class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed
more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in
principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

 8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The
Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders
have rights under the Indenture. 
 10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND
WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be
amended or supplemented to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any

with respect to the Notes; to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Guarantors; to add to the covenants such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of the Notes, and to
add any additional Events of Default for the Notes for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that with respect to any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision, such amendment may provide for a
period of grace after Default, which may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults, may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the right of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes to waive such Default; to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture, in any supplemental indenture, Officers’ Certificate or in the Notes that may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provision contained herein or therein; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture as shall not adversely
affect the interests of any Holder of the Notes; to modify or amend the Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture under the TIA as then in effect; to add to or change any provisions of
the Indenture to such extent as necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of the Notes in bearer or uncertificated form, provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect;
to provide security for the Notes; to provide additional guarantees for the Notes; to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Notes; or to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a separate or
successor trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Indenture by more than one trustee. 

11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to Section 6.01(5) or 6.01(6) of the Indenture), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the
principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or 6.01(6) of the Indenture shall occur, the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the direction of Holders unless the Holders have offered security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of
any continuing Default with respect to the Notes (except a Default in payment of principal, or premium if any, or accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Notes) in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture if a committee of the
Trustee’s trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
 12. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

13. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The
waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 
 14.
AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

15. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

16. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

17. GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE,
THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

 FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS

 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
                    , among
                     (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of American Airlines Group Inc. (or its permitted
successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the
“Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 25, 2014 providing for the issuance of 5.50% Senior
Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the
terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of
the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as
follows: 
 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof. 

4. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator
or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws.

USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

6. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
