ARTICLE II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT

     Section 2.01 The Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably agrees, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on
any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
the Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to
exceed the Maximum Commitment.

     Section 2.02 Making of Advances. (a) Each Interest Advance shall be made by the
Liquidity Provider upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of
Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,
such Interest Advance to be in an amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such
time and used solely for the payment when due of interest with respect to the Class B Certificates
at the Stated Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.05(a) and 3.05(b) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall automatically reduce the
Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available to be borrowed hereunder by subsequent
Advances by the amount of such Interest Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next
sentence). Upon repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full or in part of the amount of any
Interest Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest thereon (as
provided herein), the Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the
amount of such Interest Advance so repaid, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment;
provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be so reinstated
at any time if (x) both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or (y) a Final Advance, a Downgrade Advance, a Non-Extension
Advance or a Special Termination Advance shall have occurred.

          (b) (i) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider if this Agreement is
not extended in accordance with Section 3.05(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement unless a Replacement
Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the Borrower
in accordance with said Section 3.05(d), upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and
completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and
shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.05(d) and
3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (ii) A Downgrade Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider upon the occurrence of a
Downgrade Event (as provided for in Section 3.05(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a
Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to
the Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.05(c), upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.05(c) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (c) A Final Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider following the receipt by the
Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01(a) upon
delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially
the form of Annex IV, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the
Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral
Account (in accordance with Sections 3.05(f) and 3.05(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement).

          (d) A Special Termination Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the
Borrower of a Special Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01(b),
by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex V, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.05(f) and Section 3.05(k) of the Intercreditor
Agreement).

          (e) Each Borrowing shall be made by notice in writing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in
substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may
be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business
Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such
requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance
with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available
funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or before 12:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of
Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
with respect to such requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the
Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and
immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day next
following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by
the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire transfer
instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such
purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each Notice
of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Liquidity Provider at the
address and in the manner specified in Section 7.02 hereof.

          (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance
with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its
obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

10

 

Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in
respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Class B
Trustee or any Class B Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day
after the date of payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully
discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not
have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c)
or 2.02(d) to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class B Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts
from time to time on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account; provided that the
foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying
to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility
for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and
requested.

     Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set
forth in the Fee Letter.

     Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic
Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of
a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class B Certificates, the Maximum Commitment shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum
Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by
the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum Commitment.

          (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance, Special Termination Advance
or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the
Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably
terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

     Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand
are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a)
on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special
Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such
Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”), plus (b) interest on the
amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in
Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at
any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance
with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

11

 

Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to
constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade
Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is
required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the
purposes of Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that amounts in respect of a
Special Termination Advance withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of
paying interest on the Class B Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement (the portion of the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any
such withdrawal, but not in excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, being an
“Applied Special Termination Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as
an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate
for interest payable thereon; provided, further, that if, following the making of a
Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower
pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that
is an Applied Special Termination Advance) shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under
this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable
thereon; and, provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the
Liquidity Provider delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section
6.01(b), any Unapplied Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination
Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance,
Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a
contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the
avoidance of doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance or the
Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under
Section 3.07.

     Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in
respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class B Cash Collateral Account and
invested and withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.05(c),
3.05(d), 3.05(e) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing
on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the
principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section
3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn
from the Class B Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class B
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any
such withdrawal being (y), in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and
(z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and together with an
Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section
2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further,
however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

12

 

Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a),
such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to
Sections 2.07 and 2.09, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class B Cash
Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to
the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such
reduction, plus interest on the principal amount so repaid as provided in Section 3.07.

          (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance (or
any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account of any
amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount
being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof
up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Applied Provider Advances and Applied Special Termination Advances (and of Provider Advances and
Special Termination Advances treated as Interest Advances for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment
Amount.

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

     Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In
order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the
Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of
the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder).
Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order
of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor
Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

     Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting
from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder
and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure
by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower in respect of Advances.

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

13

 

     Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled
Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment
under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the
Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds
therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for
distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the
Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or
liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent
and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the
60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry
Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class
B Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to
the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class B
Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after
the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made
such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if
earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower)
and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent
Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that
such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the
Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so
extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance
with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after
the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request
a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(i) and Section 3.05(d) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE III

OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

     Section 3.01 Increased Costs. Without duplication of any rights created by Section
3.03, if as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably
deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of
making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there
shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in
the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

14

 

Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or
reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with
any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an
“Increased Cost”), then, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall from time to time
pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after
delivery to the Borrower and American of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider
describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the
basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that the
Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from
the date 120 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the
absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount of the Increased
Costs for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by
the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the
Advances or the obligation to make Advances are made on a reasonable basis. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in
respect of or attributable to Excluded Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and
American as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that
will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity
Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased
Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent
possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a
different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity
Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to
take any action that is not materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise
materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Provider to
incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse or indemnify
the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if
effected, such notice fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American
may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make
payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any
applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or
comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider’s jurisdiction of organization or
in which its Lending Office is located and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being
agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by the Consultative Documents issued by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and
“International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated
December 2009, shall not be considered to have been proposed or pending as of the date of this
Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances
peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking
institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

15

 

the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to
such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under
this Section 3.01 or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar
increased costs in other similarly situated transactions related to the airline industry.

     Section 3.02 Intentionally omitted.

     Section 3.03 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless
such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or
deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, then, subject to
Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so
required to be deducted or withheld and, without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.01,
if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be
necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after
deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have
been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been
required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund
of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which
additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider
shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and
any interest thereon) or net benefit.

     The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant
holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective
Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI
(whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with
respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering
all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be
necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments
hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the
Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation
is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish
that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes.

          (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider
under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of,
any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the
Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

16

 

the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing
authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional
amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith
at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower
an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the
Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction
been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall
furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the
payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.

     If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the
Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without
providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the
Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the
eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to
provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the
Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.

     Section 3.04 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall make or
cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Natixis S.A., acting via its New
York Branch, at [___]; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may from time
to time direct the Subordination Agent.

     Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of
interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.

     Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made,
shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance
is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement
of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the
number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next Interest Payment Date
for such Advance.

     Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall
pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider
Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the
Class B Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in
the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which
the Class B Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii), to
the extent permitted by law, any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or
other amounts or installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date
thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest
rate per annum for each day that such amount remains overdue and unpaid equal to the Applicable
Liquidity Rate for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such
day, but in no event in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above at a rate per annum
greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that,
if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest
payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the
total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued
(without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in
this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.

          (b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or
a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance
for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following
the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that a Provider Advance shall always be a LIBOR
Advance unless the Borrower elects otherwise.

          (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid.

          (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution
Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the
amount of principal repaid).

          (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to
the Investment Earnings plus the Applicable Margin on amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash
Collateral Account for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied
Non-Extension Advance, from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other
amounts or installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum
until paid.

          (g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of
making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice
thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. If such notice is given, then the
outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances
effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable
Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one per cent (1.00%).
The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the
Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice
no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR
Advances effective as the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such
withdrawal. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest
specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as
the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.

     Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and
subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09
of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and
time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in
substantially the form of Annex VIII (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to
the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become
the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

     Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient
(in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the
Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

     (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance; or

     (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing
specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.

     Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if
any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central

Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)

(American Airlines 2011-1 Aircraft EETC)

19

 

bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the
Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and
American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such
change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider,
requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire
before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the
Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will or to its knowledge is
reasonably likely to lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this
Section 3.10; provided that a failure by the Liquidity Provider to notify the Borrower or
American of an event that is reasonably likely to lead to such a conversion prior to the time that
it is determined that such event will lead to such a conversion shall not prejudice the rights of
the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all
commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without
limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid
the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided that the foregoing
shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable
judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or
American agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation
or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR
Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

interest herein, subject to the Liquidity Provider’s right to grant Participations pursuant to
Section 7.08(b).

          (b) The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will not grant any participation (including, without

Participation shall not be made under circumstances that require registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as amended. Notwithstanding any such Participation, the Liquidity Provider agrees that (1) the
Liquidity Provider’s obligations under the Operative Agreements shall remain unchanged, and such

Operative Agreement, (2) the Liquidity Provider shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties to the Operative Agreements for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Liquidity
Provider shall remain the maker of any Advances, and the other

Liquidity Provider in connection with the Advances and the Liquidity Provider’s rights and
obligations under the Operative Agreements, (4) the Liquidity Provider shall be solely responsible
for any withholding Taxes or any filing or reporting requirements relating to such Participation
and shall hold the Borrower and American and their respective successors, permitted assigns,
affiliates, agents and servants harmless against the same and (5) neither American nor the Borrower
shall be required to pay to the Liquidity Provider any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03
greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by
the Liquidity Provider. The Liquidity Provider may, in connection with any Participation or
proposed Participation pursuant to this Section 7.08(b), disclose to the participant or proposed
participant any information relating to the Operative Agreements or to the parties thereto
furnished to the Liquidity Provider thereunder or in connection therewith and permitted to be
disclosed by the Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that prior to any such
disclosure, the participant or proposed participant shall agree in writing for the express benefit
of the Borrower and American to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information
included therein (subject to customary exceptions).

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

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

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

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.

          (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS
TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS
BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each

ARTICLE II

TRUST ACCOUNTS; CONTROLLING PARTY

          Section 2.01. Agreement to Terms of Subordination; Payments from Monies Received Only.
(a) Each Trustee hereby (i) 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 Facilities to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. In addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment Notes purchased by the
related Trust to be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and
trustee for such Trustee, to be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of
facilitating the enforcement of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement.

          (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 to make such payments in
accordance with the terms hereof. Each of the Trustees 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 a party, has agreed to look solely to such
amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in this Agreement, the relevant
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 (i) the later of (1) the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the most recent but
preceding Distribution Date to which such interest was distributed (ii) 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

21

 

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

22

 

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).

          (b) The Subordination Agent shall, on each day when one or more Special Payments are made to
the Subordination Agent as holder of the Equipment Notes, deposit in the Special Payments Account
the aggregate amount of such Special Payments.

          Section 2.04. Distributions of Special Payments. (a) Notice of Special Payment.
Except as provided in Section 2.04(c) below, upon receipt by the Subordination Agent, as registered
holder of the Equipment Notes, of any notice of a Special Payment (or, in the absence of any such
notice, upon receipt by the Subordination Agent of a Special Payment), the Subordination Agent
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
accordance with Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c) and Article III hereof, as applicable.

          For the purposes of the application of any Special Payment in respect of any Equipment Note to
be distributed on any Special Distribution Date in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof, so long as
no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture:

          (i) clause “second” thereof shall be deemed to read as follows: “second, accrued and unpaid
Liquidity Expenses then overdue plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Liquidity Expenses
not yet overdue multiplied by the Section 2.04 Fraction shall be distributed to the Liquidity
Providers pro rata on the basis of the amount of the Liquidity Expenses owed to each Liquidity
Provider”;

          (ii) clause “third” thereof shall be deemed to read as follows: “third, (i) such amount as
shall be required to pay accrued and unpaid interest then overdue on all Liquidity Obligations (at
the rate, or in the amount, provided in the applicable Liquidity Facility) plus an amount equal to
the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on the Liquidity Obligations not yet overdue multiplied
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
shall be required to pay accrued, due and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the
outstanding Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates, together with (without duplication) any other
accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the
Series A Equipment Notes held in the Class A Trust being redeemed, purchased or prepaid, in each
case excluding interest, if any, payable with respect to the Deposits relating to the Class A Trust
shall be paid to the Class A Trustee”;

          (iv) clause “eighth” thereof shall be deemed to read as follows: “eighth, such amount as
shall be required to pay any accrued, due and unpaid Class B Adjusted Interest to the holders of
the Class B Certificates (excluding interest, if any, payable with respect to the Deposits relating
to the Class B Trust) shall be paid to the Class B Trustee”; and

          (v) clause “tenth” thereof shall be deemed to read as follows: “tenth, such amount as shall
be required to pay in full accrued, due and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the
outstanding Pool Balance of the Class B Certificates which was not previously paid pursuant to
clause “eighth” above to the holders of the Class B Certificates, together with (without
duplication) any other accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the outstanding
principal amount of the Series B Equipment Notes held in the Class B Trust and being redeemed,
purchased or prepaid, in each case excluding interest, if any, payable with respect to Deposits
relating to the Class B Trust, shall be paid to the Class B Trustee”.

          (b) Investment of Amounts in Special Payments Account. Any amounts on deposit in the
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
upon receipt thereof (i) any indemnity payment or expense reimbursement received by it from
American in respect of any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, any Paying Agent, any Depositary or any
Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Payees”) and (ii) any compensation received by it from
American under any Operative Agreement in respect of any Payee, directly to the Person entitled
thereto, provided, that if such Payee has previously received from the Collection Account such
payment, compensation or reimbursement, then the Subordination Agent shall deposit such amount in
the Collection Account.

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.

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.

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

Obligations payable to each Liquidity Provider;

     fifth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility, any amounts are to be
distributed pursuant to either subclause (A) or (B) of clause “fourth” above, then the Liquidity

Facility over (y) the Required Amount for the relevant Cash Collateral Account without
duplication of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses “first”, “second”, “third”, and
“fourth” of this Section 3.02, pro rata on the basis of such amounts in 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

described in clauses (i) through (iii) above;

     seventh, such amount as shall be required to pay in full accrued and unpaid
interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates (excluding

Subordination Agent (to the extent that such payments relate to periods after such Equipment Note
ceases to be held by the Subordination Agent).

          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 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

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 of such Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Subordination Agent. The Subordination

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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

31

 

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 on the Class A Certificates or the Class B 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 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)

32

 

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
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 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 expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended
Facility”), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a
“Non-Extension Drawing”) 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). If any amounts shall be drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing and, within 30 days
thereafter, the applicable Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced, then at any time
following the 45th day after such Non-Extension Drawing, such Liquidity Provider may, by written
notice to the Subordination Agent, agree to reinstate the applicable Liquidity Facility on the
terms of the existing related Liquidity Facility for a period ending on the 364th day after the end
of the Consent Period; provided, however, that in such event such Liquidity Provider shall
reimburse the Subordination Agent for any costs actually incurred by or on behalf of the
Subordination Agent in drawing pursuant to the Non-Extension Drawing and funding the Cash
Collateral Account or otherwise in connection with the Non-Extension Drawing.

          (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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

33

 

(including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.05(e)(ii)); provided, however,
that if the initial Liquidity Provider is replaced (including as a result of a refinancing of the
Class B Certificates) 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.

          (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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

34

 

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 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 on 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)

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) (other than any
amount of interest which was due and payable on the Class B 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 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 for such Class, 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 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
or pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement for such Class, 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

36

 

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 the (x) 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
deposit such amounts in the Collection Account.

          (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).

          (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

amounts thereunder (a “Special Termination Drawing”). Amounts drawn pursuant to a Special

          (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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

38

 

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 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

39

 

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 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 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.

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
outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.
Under no circumstances shall the Subordination Agent be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in performing its duties or exercising its rights or powers

Agreement; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Subordination Agent. The Subordination Agent agrees that it will, in its individual capacity and
at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or
expense) promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge all Liens on any of the
Trust Accounts or any monies deposited therein that are attributable to the Subordination Agent in
its individual capacity and that are unrelated to the transaction contemplated hereby and by the
other Operative Agreements.

          Section 5.04. Notice from the Liquidity Providers and Trustees. If any Liquidity
Provider or Trustee has notice of an Indenture Event of Default or a Triggering Event, such Person
shall promptly give notice thereof to all other Liquidity Providers and Trustees and to the

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

liability hereunder except (a) for its own willful misconduct or negligence, (b) as provided in

so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be identifiable as to the source
thereof.

incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution,
request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by

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
by it in good faith in reliance thereon. As to any fact or matter relating to the Liquidity
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 fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Subordination Agent 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 attorneys and (b) consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be
selected and retained by it. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for anything done,
suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such
counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons acting within such counsel’s, accountants’ or
Person’s area of competence (so long as the Subordination Agent shall have exercised reasonable
care and judgment in selecting such Persons).

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.

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
Agent. The Controlling Party (or the party that would be the Controlling Party if an Indenture
Event of Default had occurred) shall remove the Subordination Agent if:

     (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 of 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 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.

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 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

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 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 Liquidity Facilities 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 Liquidity Facilities and (B) in the case of any

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

49

 

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 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, one additional series of Equipment Notes (the “Additional Equipment
Notes”), which shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Series A Equipment Notes and
the Series B Equipment Notes under such Indenture, may be issued at any time. If any Additional
Equipment Notes are issued under any Indenture, such Additional Equipment Notes shall be issued to
a new pass through trust (an “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 such case, 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 (iii) below). Such issuance, 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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

50

 

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 any Additional Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

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

          (ii) 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);

          (iii) 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);

          (iv) the Additional Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the
Liquidity Facilities, provided, that (A) claims for fees, 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;

          (v) the Additional Certificates may be rated by the Rating Agencies;

          (vi) 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 Additional Certificates to any Affiliate of American shall be similarly restricted;
and

          (vii) the scheduled payment dates on such series of Additional Equipment Notes shall be the
Regular Distribution Dates.

          The issuance of 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 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(d) (subject to the
Liquidity Providers’ consent right in Section 8.01(d)(iv)) and that any such issuance and amendment
shall not affect any of its obligations under the applicable Liquidity Facility. The Subordination
Agent shall deliver to each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider a copy of the amendments made to
this Agreement and all opinions, certificates and other documents delivered in connection with the
issuance of any Additional Certificates.

          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 any 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

          Any party, by notice to the other parties hereto, may designate additional or different
addresses for subsequent notices or communications. Whenever the words “notice” or “notify” or
similar words are used herein, they mean the provision of formal notice as set forth in this
Section 9.03.

          Section 9.04. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision
of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          Section 9.05. No Oral Modifications or Continuing Waivers. No terms or provisions of
this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument
in writing signed by the party or other Person against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought and any other party or other Person whose consent is required
pursuant to this Agreement and any waiver of the terms hereof shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

          Section 9.06. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein
shall bind and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each of the parties hereto and the
successors and permitted assigns of each, all as herein provided. In addition, the American
Provisions shall inure to the benefit of American and its successors and permitted assigns, and
(without limitation of the foregoing) American is hereby constituted, and agreed to be, an 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
counterparts (and each party shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each
counterpart of this Agreement including a signature page or pages executed by each of the parties
hereto shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts together
constitute one instrument.

          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

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

54

 

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 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;

     (iv) refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in exercising any right or
remedy, which it may have; or

     (v) take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under
applicable law;

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

55

 

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity
Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the
obligations of any other party under this Agreement.

          Section 9.10. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

          Section 9.11. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity.
(a) Each of the parties hereto, to the extent it may do so under applicable law, for purposes
hereof and of all other Operative Agreements hereby (i) irrevocably submits itself to the

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

party or parties hereto or thereto, or their successors or permitted assigns and (ii) waives, and
agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or
proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue
of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts.

          (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING
ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and
all other common law and statutory claims. Each of the parties warrants and represents that it has
reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury
trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

          (c) To the extent that any Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter
acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and
whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor
legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere,
to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or
service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of
a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or
from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, each of the Class A Liquidity Provider and the
Class B Liquidity Provider, hereby irrevocably and expressly waives

Intercreditor Agreement (2011-1)
 AA Aircraft EETC

56

 

any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding,
whether in the United States or elsewhere.

          Section 9.12. Non-Petition. Each Liquidity Provider covenants that until one year and
one day after the Equipment Notes have been paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or
otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing any Trust or any other Person to invoke
the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case
(whether voluntary or not) against such Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar
official of such Trust or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the affairs of such Trust.
