acknowledges and agrees to the terms of subordination and distribution set forth in this Agreement
in respect of each Class of Certificates and (ii) agrees to enforce such provisions and cause all
payments in respect of the Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent and the Liquidity

          (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the next succeeding sentence of this Section
2.01(b), all payments to be made by the Subordination Agent hereunder shall be made only from
amounts received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments
under the Operative Agreements, including payments under Section 4.02 of the Participation
Agreements and Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the
Subordination Agent shall have received sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable it

accession hereto, the Class B Trustee and the Subordination Agent hereby agrees, and each
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, and each Liquidity Provider, by entering
into the Liquidity Facility to which it is or will be a party, has agreed or will agree, as
applicable, to look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as
provided in this Agreement, (in the case of the Class A Certificateholders only) the Deposits or
the applicable Trust Agreement, as the case may be, and that none of the Trustees, the Loan
Trustees or the Subordination Agent is personally liable to any of them for any amounts payable or
any liability arising under this Agreement, any Trust Agreement, any Liquidity Facility or such
Certificate, except (in the case of the Subordination Agent) as expressly provided herein or (in
the case of the Trustees) as expressly provided herein and in each Trust Agreement or (in the case
of the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in the other Operative
Agreements, the Certificates do not represent indebtedness of the related Trust, and references in
this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to accrued interest or principal amounts payable on the
Certificates of any Class are included only for computational purposes. For purposes of such
computations, the Certificates of any Class shall be deemed to be comprised of interest and
principal components, with the principal component deemed to be the Pool Balance, and the interest
component deemed to equal interest accruing at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of
Certificates from the later of (i) the date of the issuance thereof and (ii) the most recent but
preceding Distribution Date to which such interest was distributed, to, but excluding, the
applicable date of determination, such interest to be considered payable in arrears and to be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

          Section 2.02. Trust Accounts. (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the
Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain in its name (i) the Collection Account as an
Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein
are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity
Providers, and (ii) as a sub-account in the Collection Account, the Special Payments Account as an
Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein
are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity
Providers. The Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain the Cash Collateral Accounts
pursuant to and under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.05(f). Upon such establishment and
maintenance under Section 3.05(f), the Cash Collateral Accounts shall, together with the Collection
Account, constitute the “Trust Accounts” hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, all monies
credited to the Trust Accounts shall be, and shall remain, the property of the relevant Trust(s).

          (b) Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested and reinvested by the
Subordination Agent in Eligible Investments selected by American or its designated

representative
if such investments are reasonably available and have maturities no later than the earlier of (i)
90 days following the date of such investment and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
Regular Distribution Date or the date of the related distribution pursuant to Section 2.04, as the
case may be, next following the date of such investment; provided, however, that, following the
making of a Non-Extension Drawing under any Liquidity
Facility, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest the amounts in the applicable Cash
Collateral Account in Eligible Investments pursuant to the written instructions of the Liquidity
Provider funding such Drawing, and provided, further, however, that upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of a Triggering Event, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest the
amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts (other than amounts in the Cash Collateral Accounts as a
result of a Non-Extension Drawing, which shall be governed by the foregoing proviso) in Eligible
Investments in accordance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to Investment
Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts, Section 3.05(f)), any Investment
Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection Account when received by the Subordination Agent and
shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in the same manner as the other amounts on deposit in
the Collection Account are to be applied. The Subordination Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses
actually incurred in making such investments and any losses incurred in such investments shall be
charged against the principal amount invested. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for any
loss resulting from any investment, reinvestment or liquidation required to be made under this
Agreement other than by reason of its willful misconduct or negligence. Eligible Investments and
any other investment required to be made hereunder shall be held to their maturities except that
any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the Subordination Agent without
instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement.
Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

          (c) The Subordination Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on
deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income
thereon, except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to Investment Earnings). The
Trust Accounts shall be held in trust by the Subordination Agent under the sole dominion and
control of the Subordination Agent for the benefit of the applicable Trustee, the applicable
Certificateholders and the applicable Liquidity Provider, as the case may be. If, at any time, any
of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Subordination Agent shall
within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, to which a Rating
Agency may consent) establish a new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral
Account, as the case may be, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any
investments to such new Collection Account, Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral Account, as
the case may be. So long as the Subordination Agent is an Eligible Institution, the Trust Accounts
shall be maintained with it as Eligible Deposit Accounts.

          Section 2.03. Deposits to the Collection Account and Special Payments Account. (a)
The Subordination Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit in the Collection Account all
Scheduled Payments received by it (other than any Scheduled Payment which by the express terms
hereof is to be deposited to a Cash Collateral Account).

shall promptly give notice thereof to each Trustee and the Liquidity Providers. The Subordination
Agent shall promptly calculate the amount of the proceeds of any redemption or purchase of any
Equipment Note or the amount of any Overdue Scheduled Payment or the proceeds of Equipment Notes or
Collateral, as the case may be, comprising such Special Payment under the applicable Indenture or
Indentures and shall promptly send to each Trustee and the Liquidity Providers a Written Notice of
such amount and the amount allocable to each Trust. Such Written Notice shall also set the
distribution date for such Special Payment (a “Special Distribution Date”), which shall be
the Business Day which immediately follows the later to occur of (x) the 15th day after the date of
such Written Notice or (y) the date the Subordination Agent has received or expects to receive such
Special Payment. Amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account shall be distributed in

by the Section 2.04 Fraction and (ii) if one or more Special Termination Drawings have been made
under the Liquidity Facilities that have not been converted into a Final Drawing, the outstanding
amount of such Special Termination Drawings shall be distributed to the Liquidity Providers pro
rata on the basis of the amounts owed to each Liquidity Provider”;

          (iii) clause “seventh” thereof shall be deemed to read as follows: “seventh, such amount as

Special Payments Account prior to the distribution thereof pursuant to Section 2.04 or 3.02 shall
be invested in accordance with Section 2.02(b). Investment Earnings on such investments shall be
distributed in accordance with Article III hereof.

          (c) Certain Payments. Except for amounts constituting Liquidity Obligations which
shall be distributed as provided in Section 3.02, the Subordination Agent will distribute promptly

clause “third” of Section 3.02 hereof, clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 hereof and clause

it (and, in the case of a Trustee, the Certificateholders for which it is acting) pursuant to
Section 3.02 hereof, as applicable, and, in the case of a Liquidity Provider, its commitment or
obligations under the related Liquidity Facility shall have terminated or expired, such Person
shall, by a Written Notice, so inform the Subordination Agent, American and each other party to
this Agreement.

          (c) As provided in Section 6.05, the Subordination Agent shall be fully protected in relying
on any of the information set forth in a Written Notice provided by any Trustee or any Liquidity

with such paragraphs.

          (d) Any Written Notice delivered by a Trustee, a Liquidity Provider or the Subordination
Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01, if made prior to 10:00 A.M. (New

York City time) on any Business Day shall be effective on the date delivered (or if delivered
later on a Business Day or if delivered on a day that is not a Business Day shall be effective as
of the next Business Day). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall
as promptly as practicable comply with any such instructions; provided, however, that any transfer
of funds pursuant to any instruction received after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business
Day may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

          (e) In the event the Subordination Agent shall not receive from any Person any information set
forth in paragraph (a) above which is required to enable the Subordination Agent to make a
distribution to such Person pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, the Subordination Agent shall request
such information and, failing to receive any such information, the Subordination Agent shall not
make such distribution(s) to such Person. In such event, the Subordination Agent shall make
distributions pursuant to clauses “first” through “eleventh” of Section 3.02 to the extent it shall
have sufficient information to enable it to make such distributions, and shall continue to hold any
funds remaining on the terms hereof, including Section 2.02(b), after making such distributions,
until the Subordination Agent shall receive all necessary information to enable it to distribute
any funds so withheld, and upon receipt of the information necessary to distribute any funds so
withheld, the Subordination Agent shall distribute such funds.

          (f) On such dates (but not more frequently than monthly) as any Liquidity Provider or any
Trustee shall request, but in any event automatically at the end of each calendar quarter, the
Subordination Agent shall send to such party a written statement reflecting all amounts on deposit
with the Subordination Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(e).

          The notices required under this Section 3.01(a) may be in the form of a schedule or similar
document provided to the Subordination Agent by the parties referenced therein or by any one of
them, which schedule or similar document may state that, unless there has been a prepayment of the
Equipment Notes, such schedule or similar document is to remain in effect until any substitute
notice or amendment shall be given to the Subordination Agent by the party providing such notice.

          Section 3.02. Distribution of Amounts on Deposit in the Collection Account. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 2.04, 3.01(e), 3.03, 3.05(b) and 3.05(k), amounts on deposit in the

and in accordance with the information provided to the Subordination Agent pursuant to Section
3.01(a):

     first, such amount as shall be required to reimburse (i) the Subordination Agent
for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by it (to the extent not
previously reimbursed) or reasonably expected to be incurred by it for the period ending on the
next succeeding Regular Distribution Date (which shall not exceed $150,000 unless approved in
writing by the Controlling Party and accompanied by evidence that such costs are actually
expected to be incurred) in the protection of, or the realization of the value of, the Equipment

the account of such Certificateholder, in each such case, pro rata on the basis of all amounts
described in clauses (i) through (iv) above;

     second, such amount as shall be required to pay all accrued and unpaid Liquidity

a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant
Liquidity Facility or (ii) a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity
Facility, to fund such Cash Collateral Account up to its Required Amount shall be deposited in
the related Cash Collateral Account, and (C) if, with respect to any particular Liquidity
Facility neither subclause (A) nor subclause (B) of this clause “fourth” is applicable, to pay
or reimburse the Liquidity Provider in respect of such Liquidity Facility in an amount equal to
the outstanding amount of all Liquidity Obligations then due under such Liquidity Facility
(other than amounts distributed pursuant to clauses “first”, “second” or “third” of this Section
3.02), pro rata on the basis of the amounts of all such fundings and/or unreimbursed Liquidity
Obligations payable to each Liquidity Provider;

     fifth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, any amounts are to be

respect of such Liquidity Provider;

Agent for any Tax (other than Taxes imposed on compensation paid hereunder), expense, fee,
charge or other loss incurred by, or any other amount payable to, the Subordination Agent in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (to the extent not previously reimbursed),
shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in reimbursement of such amount, (ii) each Trustee
for any Tax (other than Taxes imposed on compensation paid under the applicable Trust
Agreement), expense, fee, charge or other loss incurred by, or any other amount payable to, such
Trustee under the applicable Trust Agreements (to the extent not previously reimbursed), shall
be distributed to such Trustee, and (iii) each Certificateholder for payments, if any, made by
it pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof in respect of amounts described in clause (i) above (without
duplication of any amounts distributed pursuant to subclause (iv) of clause “first” of this
Section 3.02) shall be distributed to the applicable Trustee for the account of such

          Section 3.03. Other Payments. (a) Any payments received by the Subordination Agent
for which no provision as to the application thereof is made in this Agreement shall be

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

31

 

distributed
by the Subordination Agent (i) in the order of priority specified in Section 3.02 hereof
 and (ii) to the extent received or realized at any time after the Final Distributions for each
Class of Certificates have been made, in the manner provided in clause “first” of Section 3.02
hereof.

          (b) Notwithstanding the priority of payments specified in Section 3.02, in the event any
Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account resulting from an
Unapplied Provider Advance are deposited in the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account,
such Investment Earnings shall be used to pay interest payable in respect of such Unapplied
Provider Advance to the extent of such Investment Earnings.

          (c) If the Subordination Agent receives any Scheduled Payment after the Scheduled Payment Date
relating thereto, but prior to such payment becoming an Overdue Scheduled Payment, then the
Subordination Agent shall deposit such Scheduled Payment in the Collection Account and promptly
distribute such Scheduled Payment in accordance with the priority of distributions set forth in
Section 3.02; provided, that, for the purposes of this Section 3.03(c) only, each reference in
clause “ninth” and “eleventh” of Section 3.02 to “Distribution Date” shall be deemed to refer to
such Scheduled Payment Date.

          Section 3.04. Payments to the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers. Any amounts
distributed hereunder to any Liquidity Provider shall be paid by wire transfer of funds to the
address that such Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Subordination Agent. The Subordination
Agent shall provide a Written Notice of any such transfer to the applicable Liquidity Provider at
the time of such transfer. Any amounts distributed hereunder by the Subordination Agent to any
Trustee that is not the same institution as the Subordination Agent shall be paid to such Trustee
by wire transfer of funds at the address such Trustee shall provide to the Subordination Agent.

          Section 3.05. Liquidity Facilities. (a) Interest Drawings. If on any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, the
Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the payment of any amounts due and owing in
respect of accrued interest on the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates (at the Stated
Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates) (other than any amount of interest which was due and
payable in respect of the Class A Certificates on such Distribution Date but which remains unpaid
due to the failure of the Depositary to pay any amount of accrued interest on the Deposits on such
Distribution Date), then, prior to 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, (i)
the Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an “Interest Drawing”)
under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of Certificates in an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of such accrued interest shortfall (at the
applicable Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates) and (y) the Available Amount under
such Liquidity Facility, and shall upon receipt of such amount pay such amount to the Trustee with
respect to each such Class of Certificates in payment of such accrued interest shortfall.

          (b) Application of Interest Drawings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an
Interest Drawing under the Class A Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the
Subordination Agent from the Class A Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

32

 

to the Class
A Certificateholders or the Class A Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the
Class A Trustee, and (ii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an
Interest Drawing under the Class B Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the
Subordination Agent from the Class B Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class
B Certificateholders or the Class B Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the Class B Trustee.

          (c) Downgrade Drawings. Each Liquidity Provider will promptly, but in any event
within ten days of its receipt of notice thereof, deliver notice of any downgrading of its debt
ratings to the Subordination Agent and American. If at any time a Downgrade Event occurs with
respect to any Liquidity Provider, within 10 days after such downgrading (but not later than the
expiration date of each Liquidity Facility issued by such Liquidity Provider in respect of which
the Downgrade Event occurs (a “Downgraded Facility”)), such Liquidity Provider or American
may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to the Subordination Agent. If a Downgraded Facility has not been replaced in accordance
with the terms of this paragraph, the Subordination Agent shall, on such 10th day (or if such 10th
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, on the expiration
date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted
by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of all available and
undrawn amounts thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and
invested as provided in Section 3.05(f). Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii), the applicable Liquidity
Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement
Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has
not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

          (d) Non-Extension Drawings. If any Liquidity Facility with respect to any Class of
Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the
date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, then
the following provisions shall apply:

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

          (ii) In the case of any other Liquidity Facility, no earlier than the 60th day and no later
than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent
shall request in writing that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date to the
earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

33

 

Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last
day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider thereunder are
earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility). Whether or not the applicable
Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, such Liquidity Provider
shall by notice (the “Consent Notice”) to the Subordination Agent, during the period
commencing on the date that is 60 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date (or if
earlier, the date of such Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the
Subordination Agent) and ending on the date that is 25 days prior to such Stated Expiration Date
(the “Consent Period”) advise the Subordination Agent whether, in its sole discretion, it
agrees to so extend the Stated Expiration Date; provided, that such extension shall not be
effective with respect to such Liquidity Provider if, by notice (the “Withdrawal Notice”)
to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period, such Liquidity Provider revokes
its Consent Notice. If a Liquidity Provider advises the Subordination Agent on or before the end
of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall not be so extended or fails to
irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent
Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall be so extended or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the
Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period (and, in each case, if such Liquidity
Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e)), the Subordination Agent
shall, on the date on which the Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter but prior to
the Stated Expiration Date), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the
Non-Extended Facility, request a Non-Extension Drawing under such Non-Extended Facility of all
available and undrawn amounts thereunder.

          Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in
accordance with Section 3.05(f).

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

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

34

 

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

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

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

          (f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the event the
Subordination Agent shall draw all Available Amounts under the Class A Liquidity Facility or the
Class B Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.05(c), 3.05(d), 3.05(i) or 3.05(k), or in the
event amounts are to be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash
Collateral Account pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) of clause “fourth” of Section 3.02, amounts so
drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited by the Subordination Agent in

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

35

 

the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account, as applicable.
All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible
Investments in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

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

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

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

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account on such date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash
Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date,
an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class A Liquidity
Facility) plus (if on a Distribution Date not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date)
Investment Earnings on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any
such transfer of Investment Earnings) will remain on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral
Account and shall first, pay such withdrawn amount to the Class A Liquidity Provider until
the Class A Liquidity Obligations owing to the Class A Liquidity Provider shall have been
paid in full, and second, deposit any remaining withdrawn amount in the Collection Account;

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

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

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

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

          (h) Reimbursement. The amount of each drawing under the Liquidity Facilities shall be
due and payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively,
provided in the Liquidity Facilities.

          (i) Final Drawing. Upon receipt from a Liquidity Provider of a Termination Notice
with respect to its applicable Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than
the date specified in such Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity
Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of all available and undrawn amounts
thereunder (a “Final Drawing”). Amounts drawn pursuant to a Final Drawing shall be
maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.05(f).

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

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

and undrawn amounts thereunder (a “Special Termination Drawing”). Amounts drawn
pursuant to a Special Termination Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with
Section 3.05(f) hereof.

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

          (m) Assignment of Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent agrees not to consent
to the assignment by any Liquidity Provider of any of its rights or obligations under any Liquidity
Facility or any interest therein unless (i) American shall have consented to such assignment and
(ii) each Rating Agency shall have provided a Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of
Certificates then rated by such Rating Agency in connection with such assignment; provided, that
the Subordination Agent shall consent to such assignment if the conditions in the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii) are satisfied, and the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be construed to
limit the rights of any initial Liquidity Provider under Section 3.05(e)(ii).

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

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

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

          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the
period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the
Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

39

 

an American Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee (other than the Trustee of
any Trust all of the Certificates of which are held or beneficially owned by American and/or its
Affiliates), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold
if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or
such Equipment Notes.

          (iv) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any
Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain three desktop appraisals from the Appraisers
selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and
distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft
Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such
appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein
as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Event of Default shall be
continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request
more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that
is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if an American Bankruptcy Event shall
have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent
Appraisal) and shall (acting on behalf of each Trustee) post such Appraisals on DTC’s Internet
bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may
deem appropriate to make such Appraisals available to all Certificateholders.

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

          (c) If following an American Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling
Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of American to restructure the financing of any one or
more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent,
each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing notice of the material
economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent
acting on behalf of each Trustee shall post such terms and conditions of such restructuring
proposal on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the
Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such terms and conditions available to all
Certificateholders. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on
instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee and
each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing, enter into any term sheet, stipulation
or other agreement (a “Restructuring Arrangement”) (whether in the form of an adequate
protection stipulation, an extension under

 Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

40

 

Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal
with or on behalf of American unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such
restructuring proposal shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and each Liquidity
Provider that has not made a Final Drawing for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except
that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that
is to be effective on or as of any date occurring during the 60-Day Period and that is initially
effective for a period not exceeding three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period (an
“Interim Restructuring Arrangement”)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c):
(i) shall not apply to any extension of a Restructuring Arrangement with respect to which such
provisions have been complied with in connection with the original entry thereof if the possibility
of such extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such
provisions and such extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of
such Restructuring Arrangement and (ii) shall apply to the initial extension of an Interim
Restructuring Arrangement beyond the three months following the expiry of the 60-Day Period but not
to any subsequent extension of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement, if the possibility of such
subsequent extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such
provisions and such subsequent extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and
conditions of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement. In the event that any Certificateholder
gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of
the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable
Trust Agreement, prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling
Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring
proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft, unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to
purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

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

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

41

 

every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such
party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

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

Corporate Trust Office of the Subordination Agent.

          (b) Other Notices. The Subordination Agent will furnish to each Liquidity Provider
and each Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices,

Subordination Agent to the extent the same shall not have been otherwise directly distributed to
such Liquidity Provider or such Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to any other Operative Agreement.

          (c) Securities Position. Upon the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default, the
Subordination Agent shall instruct the Trustees to, and the Trustees shall, request that DTC post
on its Internet bulletin board a securities position listing setting forth the names of all the
parties reflected on DTC’s books as holding interests in the Certificates.

          (d) Reports. Promptly after the occurrence of a Triggering Event or an Indenture

have received indemnification against any risks that may be incurred in connection therewith in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation, adequate advances
against costs (including fees and expenses) that may be incurred by it in connection therewith.
The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Article IV, nor shall any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on
the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have been advised by

otherwise incur any financial liability in performing

other Operative Agreements.

Trustee and, upon accession hereto, the Class B Trustee hereby designates and appoints the

Agreement. U.S. Bank accepts the trusts and duties hereby created and applicable to it and agrees
to perform such duties, but only upon the terms of this Agreement and agrees to receive, handle and
disburse all monies received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. The Subordination Agent
shall have no liability hereunder except (a) for its own willful misconduct or negligence, (b) as

Agreement), except that the Subordination Agent hereby represents and warrants that each of said

Balance of any Trust as of any date, the Subordination Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a
certificate signed by any Responsible Officer of the applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall
constitute full protection to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken

Providers or the Trustees the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described
herein, the Subordination Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by any
Responsible Officer of the applicable Liquidity Provider or Trustee, as the case may be, as to such

for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the
administration of the trusts hereunder, the Subordination Agent may (a) execute any of the trusts
or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents or

for the payment of such compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall not be paid
by others. The Subordination Agent agrees that it shall have no right against any Trustee or any
Liquidity Provider for any fee as compensation for its services as agent under this Agreement. The
provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

          Section 6.08. May Become Certificateholder. The institution acting as Subordination

company or other financial institution or such corporation publishes reports of condition at least

combined capital and surplus of such bank, trust company or other financial institution or such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published.

          In case at any time the Subordination Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.09, the Subordination Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect specified in Section 7.01.

counterclaim with respect to all such property.

Subordination Agent or any successor thereto must resign if at any time it fails to comply with
Section 6.09 and may resign at any time without cause by giving 60 days’ prior written notice to
American, the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers. The Controlling Party or American (only so
long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) may remove the Subordination
Agent for cause by so notifying the Subordination Agent and may appoint a successor Subordination

     (1) the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.09;

     (2) the Subordination Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or files a bankruptcy
petition;

     (3) a receiver of the Subordination Agent shall be appointed or any public officer

     (4) the Subordination Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Subordination Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Subordination Agent for any reason (the Subordination Agent in such event being referred to herein
as the retiring Subordination Agent), the Controlling Party (or the party that would be the
Controlling Party if an Indenture Event of Default had occurred) shall promptly appoint a successor
Subordination Agent. If a successor Subordination Agent shall not have been appointed within 60
days after such notice of resignation or removal, the retiring Subordination Agent, one or more of
the Trustees or one or more of the Liquidity Providers may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent to act until such time, if any,
as a successor shall have been appointed as provided above.

          A successor Subordination Agent shall deliver (x) a written acceptance of its appointment as
Subordination Agent hereunder to the retiring Subordination Agent and (y) a written assumption of
its obligations hereunder and under each Liquidity Facility to each party hereto, upon which the
resignation or removal of the retiring Subordination Agent shall become effective, and the
successor Subordination Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Subordination
Agent under this Agreement. The successor Subordination Agent shall mail a notice of its
succession to American, the Liquidity Providers and the Trustees. The retiring Subordination Agent
shall promptly transfer its rights under each of the Liquidity Facilities and all of the property
and all books and records, or true, complete and correct copies thereof, held by it as
Subordination Agent to the successor Subordination Agent.

          If the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.09 (to the extent applicable), one
or more of the Trustees or one or more of the Liquidity Providers may petition a

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Subordination Agent and the appointment
of a successor Subordination Agent.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation or removal of the Subordination Agent shall be
effective unless and until a successor has been appointed. No appointment of a successor
Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until the Rating Agencies shall have delivered a
Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies.

          (b) Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution into which the
Subordination Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Subordination Agent shall be a party, or any corporation,
bank, trust company or other financial institution succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Subordination Agent, shall be the successor of the Subordination
Agent hereunder, provided, that such corporation, bank, trust company or other financial
institution shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.09, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except that such
corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution shall give prompt notice of such
transaction to the Liquidity Providers and American.

ARTICLE VIII

SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

or (z) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8.01(a) or pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or
pursuant to Section 8.01(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective
without the additional written consent of American. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
consent of each Certificateholder affected thereby and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement,
amendment or modification of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any
Trust evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to consent to modify or amend
any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith or (ii) except as provided in the
last sentence of this Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d), modify Section 2.04,
3.02 or 3.03 hereof relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent
hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities. Nothing contained in
this Section 8.01(a) shall require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the payment of
Final Distributions with respect to the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement
Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility is to be comprised of more than one instrument as
contemplated by the definition of the term “Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each party hereto
agrees to amend this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to incorporate appropriate
mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for a single Trust.

          (b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment
Notes, receives a request for its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, approval,
consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes
were issued or the related Participation Agreement, the Parent Guarantee or other related document,
(i) if no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such
Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each series of such
Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or
consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee and (ii) if any Indenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination
Agent will exercise its voting rights as directed by the Controlling Party, subject to Sections
4.01 and 4.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Liquidity Provider and
each Certificateholder holding Certificates representing a Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Equipment Notes under the applicable Indenture held by the Subordination Agent, no such amendment,
supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver shall (i) reduce the principal amount of,
Premium, if any, or interest on, any Equipment Note under such Indenture; (ii) change the date on
which any principal amount of, Premium, if any, or interest on any Equipment Note under such
Indenture, is due or payable; (iii) create any Lien with respect to the Collateral subject to such
Indenture prior to or pari passu with the Lien thereon under such Indenture except such as are
permitted by such Indenture; provided, that, without the consent of each Certificateholder, no such
amendment, supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver shall modify Section 3.03 or
Section 9.02(a)(3) of such Indenture or deprive any Certificateholder of the benefit of the Lien of
such Indenture on such Collateral, except as provided in connection with the exercise of remedies
under Article IV of such Indenture; (iv) reduce the percentage of the outstanding principal amount
of the Equipment Notes under such Indenture the consent of whose holders is required for any
supplemental agreement, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of compliance
with certain provisions of such Indenture or of certain defaults thereunder or their consequences
provided for in such Indenture; or (v) make any change in Section 4.05 or Section 9.02 of such
Indenture, except to provide that certain other provisions of such Indenture

 Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each holder of an Equipment Note under such
Indenture affected thereby.

          (c) If Series B Equipment Notes (or Additional Equipment Notes), with respect to all of the
Aircraft for which Series B Equipment Notes (or, as the case may be, Additional Equipment Notes)
are at the time outstanding, are redeemed and new Equipment Notes of corresponding series are to be
issued in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(b) of each Indenture and Section 4(a)(v) of the
Note Purchase Agreement, such series of new Equipment Notes (the “Refinancing Equipment
Notes”) shall be issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues
a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders
(the “Refinancing Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a
“Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A
Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing Certificates shall be subject to all
of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Trust, the Trustee and the
Certificates of the Class corresponding to the series of the refinanced Equipment Notes, including,
the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates to the extent provided herein to the
Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class A Certificates and, if applicable,
the Class B Certificates. Such issuance of Refinancing Equipment Notes and Refinancing
Certificates and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings
Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies and shall
not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees in their individual capacities or any of the
Liquidity Providers. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of American and the
Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of the Refinancing Certificates subject to the
following terms and conditions:

     (i) the Refinancing Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

     (ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Class B Certificates”, “Final Legal
Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other
applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect such issuance (and the
subordination of the Refinancing Certificates and the Refinancing Equipment Notes);

     (iii) the Refinancing Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to
the Class A Liquidity Facility or different therefrom and claims for fees, interest,
expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support
(A) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of the Class B
Certificates, may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Class A Liquidity
Facility and (B) in the case of any Refinancing Certificates issued in respect of any
Additional Certificates, shall be subordinated to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity
Obligations, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; provided, that in each
case Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the
Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Liquidity Providers shall have been
obtained;

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Refinancing Certificates to
any Affiliate of American shall be similarly restricted; and

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

          The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of
this Section 8.01(c), and any related amendment of the Parent Guarantee described in Section 9.03
of the Indentures, shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class
of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be
deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 8.01(c) (subject to
the Liquidity Providers’ consent right in Section 8.01(c)(iii)) and that any such issuance and
amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the applicable Liquidity
Facility, provided, that a condition to the issuance of any Refinancing Certificates issued in
respect of a Class of Certificates with a Liquidity Facility shall be the payment in full of all
amounts owed to the Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity Facility and the termination of such
Liquidity Facility upon the issuance of the Refinancing Certificates. The Subordination Agent
shall deliver to each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider (other than the Liquidity Provider of
such terminated Liquidity Facility) a copy of the amendments made to this Agreement and all
opinions, certificates and other documents delivered in connection with the issuance of any
Refinancing Certificates.

          (d) Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of each Indenture and Section 4(a)(v) of the Note
Purchase Agreement, Series B Equipment Notes or one additional series of Equipment Notes (the
“Additional Equipment Notes”), which shall be subordinated in right of payment to (in the
case of the Series B Equipment Notes) the Series A Equipment Notes or (in the case of the
Additional Equipment Notes) the Series A Equipment Notes and the Series B Equipment Notes, in each
case to the extent provided in the Indentures, may be issued at any time, provided that the
Additional Equipment Notes may be issued under an Indenture only if the Series B Equipment Notes
shall have been issued under such Indenture prior thereto or concurrently therewith. If the Series
B Equipment Notes are issued under any Indenture, such Series B Equipment Notes shall be issued to
the Class B Trust that issues the Class B Certificates to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant
to the Class B Trust Agreement. If any Additional Equipment Notes are issued under any Indenture,
such Additional Equipment Notes shall be issued to a new pass through trust (“Additional
Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Additional
Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Additional Certificateholders”) pursuant to
a pass through trust agreement (an “Additional Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (an
“Additional Trustee”). In the case of the issuance of the Additional Certificates, this
Agreement, including without limitation Sections 2.04, 3.01 and 3.02 hereof, shall be amended by
written agreement of American and the Subordination Agent to provide for the subordination of the
Additional Certificates to, and to provide for distributions on the Additional Certificates after
payment of, the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class A Certificates and
the Class B Certificates (subject to clause (vi) below). The issuance of the Class B Certificates
or the Additional Certificates, and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below (x) shall
require Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating
Agencies, (y) in the case of the issuance of the Class B Certificates, if the Class B Certificates
are to have the benefit of a Class B Liquidity Facility and

the Required Amount of the Class B Liquidity Facility would, at any date of determination,
exceed the amount set forth in Schedule A attached hereto for the date most recently preceding such
date of determination (assuming that, as of such date of determination, the Pool Balance of the
Class B Certificates has been reduced by all Expected Distributions on the Class B Certificates in
respect of all Distribution Dates prior to such date of determination), shall require the prior
written consent of the Class A Liquidity Provider and (z) shall not materially adversely affect any
Trustee then party hereto in its individual capacity. This Agreement shall be amended by written
agreement of American and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of the Class B
Certificates or Additional Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (i) each of the Class B Trustee or the Additional Trustee, as applicable, and (if applicable)
the Class B Liquidity Provider and the provider of any credit support for the Additional
Certificates shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

          (ii) in the case of the Class B Certificates, all Class B Related Terms shall be revised, as
appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Class B Certificates and become effective upon the
accession hereto of the Class B Trustee and (if applicable) the Class B Liquidity Provider, and the
terms “Final Legal Distribution Date” and “Stated Interest Rate” to specify such date and rate for
the Class B Certificates;

          (iii) in the case of the Additional Certificates, the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”,
“Equipment Notes”, “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement”, and “Controlling
Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the
issuance of the Additional Certificates (and the subordination thereof);

          (iv) in the event that Class B Certificates are issued prior to the Delivery Period
Termination Date, the definitions of Deposit Agreement, Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, Escrow
Agent, Escrow Receipts, Paying Agent, Paying Agent Account, Expected Distributions, Final
Distributions and Pool Balance (and any other applicable definition) and the related provisions
hereof shall be appropriately revised to reflect any applicable deposit and escrow arrangement in
relation to the Class B Certificates;

          (v) in the case of the Class B Certificates, if the Class B Certificates are to have the
benefit of a Class B Liquidity Facility, Section 3.05 and any other provisions hereof shall be
revised to the extent necessary to reflect the terms and conditions of the Class B Liquidity
Facility, provided that such revisions shall not materially adversely affect the Class A Liquidity
Provider;

          (vi) in the case of the Additional Certificates, Section 3.02 may be revised, with respect to
any Additional Certificates, to provide for the distribution of “Adjusted Interest” for such
Additional Certificates (calculated in a manner substantially similar to the calculation of Class B
Adjusted Interest) after the Class B Adjusted Interest but before Expected Distributions on the
Class A Certificates, provided, that such revision shall not adversely affect any Liquidity
Provider (as determined by such Liquidity Provider in its reasonable discretion);

          (vii) the Additional Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Class
A Liquidity Facility or different therefrom, provided that (A) claims for fees,

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit
support shall be subordinated to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class
A Certificates and the Class B Certificates and (B) Ratings Confirmation with respect to each Class
of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Liquidity
Providers shall have been obtained;

          (viii) the Class B Certificates or the Additional Certificates may be rated by the Rating
Agencies;

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

          (x) the scheduled payment dates on the Series B Equipment Notes or Additional Equipment Notes
shall be the Regular Distribution Dates.

          The issuance of the Class B Certificates or the Additional Certificates in compliance
with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 8.01(d), and any amendment of the Parent Guarantee
described in Sections 9.03 of the Indentures, shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees
then party hereto or the holders of any Class of Certificates. The Class A Liquidity Provider
hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in
accordance with this Section 8.01(d) (subject, in the case of the Class B Certificates, to the
Class A Liquidity Provider’s consent right in Section 8.01(d)(y), to the extent applicable, and in
the case of the Additional Certificates, to the Class A Liquidity Provider’s consent right in
Section 8.01(d)(vii)) and that any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its
obligations under the Class A Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent shall deliver to each
Trustee then party hereto and each Liquidity Provider then party hereto a copy of the amendments
made to this Agreement and all opinions, certificates and other documents delivered in connection
with the issuance of the Class B Certificates or Additional Certificates.

          (e) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Class B Related Terms have been included herein in
contemplation of the issuance of Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 8.01(d) hereof. The
parties hereto agree that prior to such issuance, the Class B Related Terms (other than as provided
in Section 8.01(d) above and this Section 8.01(e)) shall be of no effect and shall be disregarded.

          Section 8.02. Subordination Agent Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the
institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed by it
pursuant to the terms of Section 8.01 adversely affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with
respect to such institution under this Agreement or the Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent
may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

          Section 8.03. Effect of Supplemental Agreements. Upon the execution of any amendment,
consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be and shall
be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

53

 

respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this
Agreement of the parties hereto and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised
and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the
terms and conditions of any such supplemental agreement shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes. In executing or accepting any
supplemental agreement permitted by this Article VIII, the Subordination Agent shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

          Section 8.04. Notice to Rating Agencies. Promptly following its receipt of each
amendment, consent, modification, supplement or waiver contemplated by this Article VIII, the
Subordination Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Rating Agency.

ARTICLE IX

Provisions shall inure to the benefit of American and its successors and permitted assigns,

express third party beneficiary of the American Provisions.

          Section 9.07. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein and
in the Table of Contents hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit
any of the terms or provisions hereof.

          Section 9.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of

          Section 9.09. Subordination. (a) As between the Liquidity Providers (and any
additional liquidity providers in respect of any class of Refinancing Certificates or any
Additional Certificates), on the one hand, and the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or an
Additional Trustee) and the Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or
Additional Certificateholders), on the other hand, and as among the Trustees (and any Refinancing
Trustees or an Additional Trustee) and the related Certificateholders (and any Refinancing
Certificateholders or Additional Certificateholders) this Agreement shall be a subordination
agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to
time.

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

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

          (d) The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Liquidity
Providers and the Subordination Agent expressly confirm and agree that the payment priorities and
subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply in all circumstances, notwithstanding
(x) the fact that the obligations owed to the Trustees are secured by certain assets and the
Liquidity Obligations may not be so secured or (y) the occurrence of an American Bankruptcy Event
or any similar event or occurrence relating to any other Person (it being

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-2)

AA Aircraft EETC

56

 

expressly agreed that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and
III shall apply whether or not a claim for post-petition or post-filing interest is allowed in the
proceedings resulting from such American Bankruptcy Event or other event or occurrence). The
Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates) not to assert
priority over the holders of Liquidity Obligations (except as specifically set forth in Section
3.02) due to their status as secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal
proceeding.

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

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

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

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

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

 

 

     WHEREAS, the Underwriters and the Pass Through Trustee intend that the Net Proceeds be held in
escrow by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Investors pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreement, subject to withdrawal upon request of and proper certification by the Pass Through
Trustee for the purpose of purchasing Equipment Notes, and that pending such withdrawal the Net
Proceeds be deposited by the Escrow Agent with the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement, which
provides for the Depositary to pay interest for distribution to the Investors and to establish
accounts from which the Escrow Agent shall make withdrawals upon request of and proper
certification by the Pass Through Trustee.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Acceptance of Depositary; Establishment of Accounts.

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

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

     SECTION 2. Deposit Mechanics.

     Section 2.1. Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to deposit with
the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the “Deposit Date”) in Federal (same day)
funds by wire transfer to: The Bank of New York Mellon, ABA No. [_______], Account Name: Corporate

American Airlines 2011-2A EETC, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of
the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$725,694,000. Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall
(i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I hereto maturing in accordance
with this Agreement (together with any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof,
individually, a “Deposit” and, collectively, the “Deposits”) and (ii)
credit each Deposit to the related Account as set forth herein. No amount shall be deposited in
any Account other than the related Deposit.

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

     Section 2.2. Interest. Each Deposit shall bear interest from and including the date
of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal (it being understood that the date of withdrawal
in the case of any payment by the Depositary of the amount of the Final Withdrawal (as defined
below) on the Outside Termination Date (as defined below) shall be deemed to be the date of such
payment) at the rate of 8.625% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date (as defined below), on the date of any Final Withdrawal, on the date of any
Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below) or on the date of any Event of Loss Withdrawal (as
defined below), as applicable, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. As used in this
Agreement, the term “Interest Payment Date”, with respect to each Deposit that, as of any
date of determination, has not been withdrawn pursuant to a Final Withdrawal, a Replacement
Withdrawal or an Event of Loss Withdrawal, shall mean each of October 15 and April 15, commencing
on April 15, 2012 and ending on the earlier of October 15 and April 15 immediately following the
date on which such Deposit is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as defined
below); provided that interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a
Notice of Purchase Withdrawal shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date following the related
Purchase Withdrawal, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal or Event of Loss Withdrawal
with respect to any other Deposit and notwithstanding the fact that the relevant Account may have
been closed before such Interest Payment Date, but, if any intervening Replacement Withdrawal
occurs before such next Interest Payment Date, such accrued interest shall, instead, be paid on the
date of such Replacement Withdrawal. All interest paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be
non-compounding.

     Section 2.3. Withdrawals.

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

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

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

               (i) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the
Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Final Withdrawal”), withdraw
(x) the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits together with (y) all
accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of such withdrawal
(such withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the
“Final Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal.
If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary on or before the Outside
Termination Date (as defined below) and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Depositary
shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on the Outside Termination Date.
Following the Final Withdrawal of any Deposit, the balance in the related Account shall be reduced
to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. As used in this Agreement, the term
“Outside Termination Date” shall mean December 31, 2011.

               (ii) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least five Business Days’ prior notice of
withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Replacement
Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) with respect to all Deposits then held by the Depositary,
(1) the entire amount of such Deposits together with (2) all accrued and unpaid
interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of such Replacement Withdrawal (as
defined below) and (y) with respect to all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant
to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but
excluding the date of the applicable Purchase Withdrawal (such withdrawal of the amounts set forth
in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the “Replacement Withdrawal”), on such
date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

               (iii) On and after the date seven days after the establishment of any Deposit, the Escrow
Agent may, by providing at least 15 days’ prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form
of Exhibit D hereto (a “Notice of Event of Loss Withdrawal”), withdraw (x) the
entire balance of such Deposit together with (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such
Deposit to but excluding the specified date of such withdrawal (with respect to any Deposit, such
withdrawal of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), the
“Event of Loss Withdrawal”), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Event of
Loss Withdrawal. Following such Event of Loss Withdrawal, the balance in the related Account shall
be reduced to zero and the Depositary shall close such Account. The Depositary may waive the
foregoing requirement that any Deposit can only be withdrawn on or after seven days after the
establishment thereof, and may instead reserve the right, upon at least 14 days’ prior written
notice to American, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days’ notice
for any withdrawal.

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

Deposit Agreement (Class A)

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

4

 

this Agreement, in no event shall the Depositary be required, pursuant to any Withdrawal
Notice or otherwise, to make payments hereunder on or in respect of any Deposit in excess of the
amount of such Deposit together with accrued interest thereon as provided in this Agreement.

     Section 2.4. Other Accounts. On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit (other than the
date of any Final Withdrawal, Replacement Withdrawal or Event of Loss Withdrawal), the Escrow
Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall re-deposit with the
Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the Depositary shall accept
the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new
Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof,
and thereafter the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same
force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that such
Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the establishment thereof. The
Depositary may waive the foregoing requirement that any Deposit can only be withdrawn on or after
seven days after the establishment thereof, and may instead reserve the right, upon at least 14
days’ prior written notice to American, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require
seven days’ notice for any withdrawal.

     SECTION 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth Business Day
after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have been withdrawn and
paid as provided herein without any re-deposit and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on
the Deposits shall have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which
the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 4. Payments. All payments made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in
United States Dollars and immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the cases of
(w) accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof,
(x) any Final Withdrawal, (y) Event of Loss Withdrawal or (z) accrued and
unpaid interest on all Deposits, if any, previously withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal, which interest is payable pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, directly to
the Paying Agent at U.S. Bank Trust National Association, Boston, Massachusetts, ABA# [_______],
Corporate Trust, Account No. [_______], Reference: American Airlines 2011-2A EETC, or to such other
account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the
Escrow Agent, (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a
Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified
and in the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (iii) the case of any
withdrawal of one or more Deposits then held by the Depositary together with accrued and unpaid
interest on such Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, as directed by the Pass
Through Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.
The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of
retention or similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may
have against the Deposits howsoever arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all
payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for
or on account of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,
“Taxes”). However, if the Depositary shall be required by law (or if the Paying Agent
shall have

5

 

notified the Depositary that, pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreement, the Paying Agent is required by law) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect
of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make, or cause to be made, such
deductions or withholding and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, the full amount deducted or
withheld to the competent taxation authority in accordance with applicable law. If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall
accrue in respect of such extension.

     SECTION 5. Representation and Warranties. The Depositary hereby represents and
warrants to American, the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

     (a) it is a New York banking corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization;

     (b) it has full power, authority and legal right to conduct its business and operations
as currently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with the terms
hereof;

     (d) no authorization, consent or approval of or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any United States federal or state governmental authority or regulatory body is
required for the execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

     (e) neither the execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement, nor
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, conflicts or will conflict with or results
or will result in a breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
will require any consent or approval under, any law, governmental rule or regulation or the

or any of its properties is bound, or constitutes or will constitute a default thereunder or
results or will result in the imposition of any lien upon any of its properties; and

     (f) there are no pending or, to its knowledge, threatened actions, suits,

of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent has delivered to the Depositary a certificate containing
specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow Agent who are authorized to give notices
and instructions with respect to this Agreement. The Depositary may conclusively rely on such
certificate until the Depositary receives written notice from the Escrow Agent to the contrary.

     SECTION 9. Obligations Unconditional. The Depositary hereby acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to repay each Deposit together with interest thereon as provided herein is
absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and constitutes a full recourse obligation of the
Depositary enforceable against it to the full extent of all of its assets and properties.

     SECTION 10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all attachments hereto) sets
forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and understandings between the
Depositary and the Escrow Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, inducements or conditions, express or implied,
oral or written.

     SECTION 11. Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the
Depositary and the Escrow Agent with respect to the Deposits, shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the law of the State of New York and subject to the provisions of Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), as the same may be
modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time.

     SECTION 12. Submission to Jurisdiction in New York. Each of the parties hereto, to
the extent it may do so under applicable law, hereby (a) irrevocably submits itself to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York
and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this
Agreement, the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any
party or parties hereto, or their successors or permitted assigns and (b) waives, and
agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or
proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue
of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts.

     SECTION 13. Waiver of Jury Trial Right. EACH OF THE DEPOSITARY AND THE ESCROW AGENT
ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY.

     SECTION 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

     SECTION 15. Rights of Receiptholders. The Depositary acknowledges that, if the
Depositary shall fail to pay when due hereunder any interest on the Deposits or to pay when due
hereunder any Final Withdrawal, any Replacement Withdrawal or any Event of Loss Withdrawal, each
Receiptholder (as defined below) shall have the right (individually and without the need for any
other action of any person, including the Escrow Agent or any other Receiptholder) to claim
directly against the Depositary, by making a demand to the Depositary or by bringing suit to
enforce any rights the Escrow Agent may have under this Agreement, in respect of amounts that would
have been distributed to such Receiptholder pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and
that any such claim shall not be subject to defenses that the Depositary may have against the
Escrow Agent. As used in this Agreement, the term “Receiptholder” shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

     SECTION 16. Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Depositary be responsible or
liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit, whether or not foreseeable) suffered by the Escrow
Agent or any of the Receiptholders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated or any relationships established by this Agreement irrespective of whether the
Depositary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action.
