bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity and except, in the case
of the Indenture, as limited by applicable laws that may affect the remedies provided in

shall, to the extent they are not signatories to this Agreement, have expressly agreed in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Section 4.02 prior to, or concurrently with, the making of a Claim
hereunder. If an Indemnitee fails to comply with any duty or obligation under this Section 4.02
with respect to any Claim, such Indemnitee shall not, to the extent such failure was prejudicial to
the Company, be entitled to any indemnity with respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. No
holder of a Pass Through Certificate in its capacity as such holder shall be an Indemnitee for
purposes hereof.

     (c) Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions stated in Subsection 4.02(d), the
Company agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each

out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Loan Trustee and, so long as it is the holder of any
Equipment Notes, each Pass Through Trustee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s
fees and disbursements and, to the extent payable as provided in the Indenture, reasonable
compensation and expenses of such Person’s agents) in connection with the transactions contemplated

clause (i) shall be deemed to release the Company from any of its obligations under the
Operative Documents that expressly provide for performance after the termination of the

misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Related Indemnitee Group;

Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Related Indemnitee Group with any of the terms of, or any
misrepresentation by an Indemnitee or its Related Indemnitee Group contained in, this
Agreement, any other Operative Document or any Pass Through Document to which such
Indemnitee or any of such Related Indemnitee Group is a party or any agreement relating
hereto or thereto;

     (v) any Claim to the extent such Claim constitutes a Permitted Lien attributable to
such Indemnitee;

Through Certificate, all or any part of such Indemnitee’s interest in the Operative
Documents or the Pass Through Documents or any interest in the Collateral or any similar
security (whether voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of such Indemnitee or its
Related Indemnitee Group other than during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default (provided that any such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or
other disposition during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall not
be subject to indemnification unless it is made in accordance with the Indenture and
applicable law);

giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers or consents with
respect to any Operative Document or any Pass Through Document, other than such as have
been requested by the Company or that occur as the result of an Event of Default, or such
as are expressly required or contemplated by the provisions of the Operative Documents or
the Pass Through Documents;

     (ix) any Claim to the extent such Claim is (A) paid by the Company pursuant to
any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement provision of any other Operative

     (xii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to one or more of the other

notes issued with respect to the other aircraft and held by the Pass Through Trustees); and

     (xiii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the offer or sale by an
Indemnitee (or any member of such Indemnitee’s Related Indemnitee Group) of any interest in
the Aircraft, the Equipment Notes, the Pass Through Certificates, or any similar interest,
in violation of the Securities Act or other

Participation Agreement

[Reg. No.]

applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws (other than any thereof caused by
acts or omissions of the Company of any of its affiliates).

     (e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the Company hereunder
that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, each Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate, at the Company’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to
investigate, defend or compromise such Claim.

     (f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any Claim as
to which indemnification is sought; provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice
shall not release the Company from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the
extent that the Company is prejudiced by such failure or the Company’s indemnification obligations
are increased as a result of such failure. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company
all additional information in such Indemnitee’s possession to substantiate such request for payment
to the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under
policies of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the right, at its sole cost
and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any
Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 4.02, and, at the Company’s expense,
the Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith.
Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim
under this Section 4.02. Where the Company or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained
by the Company undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal
fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be
indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the written request of the
Company or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee
may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Company pursuant to
the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s participation does not, in the opinion
of the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with
such control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided
in this Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall
not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all
Indemnitees.

     (g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Company under this
Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an insurer under a policy of insurance
maintained by the Company, the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any
further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such
Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event

Participation Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

16

 

giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements
and shall cooperate with the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit the Company or
such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the
Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee
receives any payment from any party other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part,
with respect to any Claim paid by the Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly pay over
to the Company the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the amount the Company or any of
its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence
that is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company, or, if it has been previously paid
directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such payment an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Loan
Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Indenture and the
other Operative Documents, and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company’s
obligations hereunder and thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such time as
there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to the extent not previously
so applied against the Company’s obligations, shall be paid to the Company.

     (h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.02 shall constitute a guarantee
by the Company that the Aircraft shall at any time have any particular value, useful life or
residual value.

     (i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
4.02 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written demand therefor from
such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that
are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any
payments made pursuant to this Section 4.02 directly to an Indemnitee or to the Company, as the
case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is
specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or, if no such directions shall have been
given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 7.01. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Past Due Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any
amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 4.02 until the same shall be paid.
Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such
interest is due.

expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge and satisfy in full any such

     (e) Agreement to be Bound; Transfer. By its acceptance of its Equipment Notes, each
Noteholder unconditionally agrees for the benefit of the Company and the Loan Trustee: (i)
to be bound by and to perform and comply with all of the terms of such Equipment Notes, the
Indenture and this Agreement applicable to such Noteholder; and (ii) that it will not
transfer any Equipment Note (or any part thereof) to any entity unless such transfer complies with
and does not violate the Transportation Code, the Securities Act (or require registration under
such Act) or any other law (including, without limitation, ERISA), and does not create a
relationship that would be in violation thereof, or result in a “prohibited transaction” under
Section 4975 of the Code or require qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

     (f) Tax Returns. Each Pass Through Trustee shall file any tax returns required to be
filed by the related Pass Through Trust and the Company shall pay the Applicable Portion of any
expenses relating thereto. The Company shall be responsible for the Applicable Portion of any
interest or penalties related to any Pass Through Trustee’s failure to file any such tax returns
required to be filed by the relevant Pass Through Trust, except to the extent that such failure is
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Pass Through Trustee. For
purposes of this Section 6.01(f), the “Applicable Portion” of any amount shall equal such
amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes held by the relevant Pass Through Trustee, and
the denominator of which shall be the sum of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all
“Equipment Notes” issued under each of the “Indentures” (in each case as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) held by such Pass Through Trustee.

     Section 6.02. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Loan Trustee as follows:

     (a) Further Assurances. On and after the Closing, the Company will cause to
be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts, conveyances and assurances
as the Loan Trustee shall reasonably request for accomplishing the purposes of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided that any instrument or other
document so executed by the Company will not expand any obligations or limit any rights of
the Company in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

     (b) Filing and Recordation of the Indenture; Registration of International
Interests. The Company, at its own expense, will cause the Indenture (with the
Indenture Supplement covering the Aircraft attached) to be promptly filed and recorded, or
filed for recording, with the FAA to the extent permitted under the Transportation Code and
the rules and regulations of the FAA thereunder. In addition, on or prior to the Closing
Date, the Company will cause the registration of the International Interests (or
Prospective International

Participation Agreement

[Reg. No.]

23

 

Interests) created under the Indenture (as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement
with respect to the Aircraft) to be effected on the International Registry in accordance
with the Cape Town Treaty, and shall, as and to the extent applicable, consent to such
registration upon the issuance of a request for such consent by the International Registry.

     (c) Maintenance of Filings. The Company, at its expense, will take, or cause
to be taken, such action with respect to the due and timely recording, filing, re-recording
and refiling of the Indenture and any financing statements and any continuation statements
or other instruments as are necessary to maintain, so long as the Indenture is in effect,
the perfection of the security interests created by the Indenture or will furnish the Loan
Trustee timely notice of the necessity of such action, together with such instruments, in
execution form, and such other information as may be required to enable the Loan Trustee to
take such action. In addition, the Company will pay any and all recording, stamp and other
similar taxes payable in the United States, and in any other jurisdiction where the
Aircraft is registered, in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of the Indenture or any such financing statements or other
instruments. The Company will notify the Loan Trustee of any change in its jurisdiction of
organization (as such term is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the State of Delaware) promptly after making such change or in any event within the
period of time necessary under applicable law to prevent the lapse of perfection (absent
refiling) of financing statements filed under the Operative Documents.

     (d) Maintenance of Corporate Existence. The Company shall at all times
maintain its corporate existence except as permitted by Section 6.02(e).

     (e) Merger; Consolidation; Transfer of Substantially All Assets. The Company
shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person, unless:

     (i) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially
all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall, if and to the extent
required under Section 1110 in order that the Loan Trustee shall continue to be
entitled to any benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft, be a Citizen
of the United States and a Certificated Air Carrier and shall execute and deliver
to the Loan Trustee an agreement containing the express assumption by such
successor Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition of the Operative Documents to which the Company is a party
to be performed or observed by the Company;

Participation Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

24

 

     (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; and

     (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity
Provider a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, and an
opinion of counsel (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other
internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee and such Liquidity Provider), each stating that such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption agreement mentioned in clause (i)
above comply with this Section 6.02(e) and that all conditions precedent herein
provided relating to such transaction have been complied with (except that such
opinion need not cover the matters referred to in clause (ii) above and may rely,
as to factual matters, on a certificate of an officer of the Company) and, in the
case of such opinion, that such assumption agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such successor Person and is enforceable against such
successor Person in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity.

     Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of
the assets of the Company as an entirety in accordance with this Section 6.02(e), the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents with
the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein. If the Aircraft
is at the time registered with the FAA, at the time of, or promptly following, any such
consolidation or merger, such Person will make such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to
the Transportation Code and registration under the Cape Town Treaty as shall be necessary to
evidence such consolidation or merger. If the Aircraft is at the time not registered with the FAA,
at the time of, or promptly following, any such consolidation or merger, such Person will make such
filings and recordings with the applicable aviation authority as shall be necessary to evidence
such consolidation or merger, and if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged is located in a “Contracting State” (as such term is used in the Cape Town
Treaty), at the time of, or promptly following, any such consolidation or merger, such Person will
also make such registration under the Cape Town Treaty as shall be necessary to evidence such
consolidation or merger.

     (f) Section 1110. The Company shall, for as long as and to the extent
required under Section 1110 in order that the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any

Participation Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

25

 

of the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft, remain a Certificated
Air Carrier.

     (g) Additional Information. Promptly after the occurrence of a Triggering
Event or an Indenture Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to make
payments on any Equipment Note and on every Regular Distribution Date while the Triggering
Event or such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, the Company will, at the
Subordination Agent’s request from time to time but in any event no more frequently than
once every three months, provide to the Subordination Agent a statement setting forth the
following information with respect to the Aircraft if then subject to the lien of the
Indenture: (A) whether the Aircraft is currently in service or parked in storage,
(B) the maintenance status of the Aircraft, and (C) the location of the
Engines. As used in this Section 6.02(g), the terms “Triggering Event”, “Indenture Event
of Default” and “Regular Distribution Date” shall have the respective meanings set forth in
the Intercreditor Agreement.

through (5) inclusive above, subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Indenture.

     It is expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall
remain liable under the Purchase Agreement to perform all of its obligations thereunder, and,
except to the extent expressly provided in any Operative Document, none of any Noteholder, the Loan
Trustee, any other Indenture Indemnitee or any Related Indenture Indemnitee shall be required or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Company under or pursuant to
any Operative Document, or to have any obligation or liability under the Purchase Agreement by

sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim or take any action to
collect or enforce the payment of any amount that may have been assigned to it or to which it may
be entitled at any time or times.

pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement relating to
the Warranty Rights, including, without limitation, the warranty disclaimer provisions for the
benefit of the Manufacturer, shall apply to and be binding upon the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee,
the other Indenture Indemnitees and the Related Indenture Indemnitees to the same extent as the
Company. The Company hereby directs the Manufacturer, so long as an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, to pay all amounts, if any, payable to the Company pursuant to the
Warranty Rights directly to the Loan Trustee to be held and applied as provided herein. Nothing
contained herein shall subject the Manufacturer to any liability to which it would not otherwise be
subject under the Purchase Agreement or modify in any respect the contract rights of the
Manufacturer thereunder except as provided in the Manufacturer’s Consent.

     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company does hereby irrevocably constitute the
Loan Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an
interest) with full power (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to ask for, require, demand and
receive any and all monies and claims for monies (in each case including insurance and requisition
proceeds) due and to become due to the Company under or arising out of the Purchase Agreement (to
the extent assigned hereby), and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the

file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceedings which the Loan
Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises; provided that the Loan
Trustee shall not exercise any such rights except during the continuance of an Event of Default.
The Company agrees that, promptly upon receipt thereof, to the extent required by the Operative
Documents, it will transfer to the Loan Trustee any and all monies from time to time received by
the Company constituting part of the Collateral, for distribution by the Loan Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture.

     The Company does hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold, assigned or pledged, and
hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell, assign or pledge, so long as this Indenture
shall remain in effect and the Lien hereof shall not have been released pursuant to the provisions
hereof, any of its estate, right, title or interest hereby assigned, to any Person other than the
Loan Trustee, except as otherwise provided in or permitted by any Operative Document.

     The Company agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed
and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as the Loan Trustee may reasonably
deem necessary to perfect, preserve or protect the mortgage, security interests and assignments
created or intended to be created hereby or to obtain for the Loan Trustee the full benefit of the
assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted; provided that any
instrument or other document so executed by the Company will not expand any obligations or limit
any rights of the Company in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

pay, on each Payment Date, interest in arrears on the principal amount remaining unpaid from time
to time from the date hereof, or from the most recent date to which interest hereon has been paid

360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) equal to the Debt Rate shown above. [Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the final payment made on this Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to
discharge in full the unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other
amounts due under, this Equipment Note.]5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if any date on which a payment under this Equipment Note becomes due and payable
is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled

amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date.

incorporated by reference, and shall be construed and interpreted
in the manner described, in the Indenture.

     This Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not the
Debt Rate) (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months) on any principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and any other amounts payable hereunder not paid when due for
any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue.
Amounts shall be overdue if not paid in the manner provided herein or in the Indenture when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

     There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose of registering transfers
and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, or at the
office of any successor trustee, in the manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture.

     The principal amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall be payable in Dollars
in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, or as otherwise
provided in the Indenture. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of
any such payment to the Noteholder of this Equipment Note. Each such payment shall be made on the
date such payment is due and without any presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except
that in the case of any final payment with respect to this Equipment Note, this Equipment Note
shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation.

     The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that, except as provided
in the Indenture, including the subordination provisions referred to below, each payment of an
installment of principal amount, interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, received by it hereunder
shall be applied: first, to the payment of accrued interest on this Equipment Note (as well as any
interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent permitted by
law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts
hereunder) to the date of such payment; second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to this Equipment Note; third, to the payment of the principal amount of this Equipment
Note (or portion thereof) then due hereunder, if any; and fourth, the balance, if any, remaining
thereafter to the payment of installments of the principal amount of this Equipment Note (or
portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.

     This Equipment Note is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the Indenture which have been
or are to be issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the

Equipment
Notes (if issued) and (b) the maturities and principal amounts and shall bear
interest at the applicable Debt Rates specified in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any
Series B Equipment Notes or any Additional Series Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date,
such Schedule I may be amended in connection with such issuance). On the Closing Date, each Series
A Equipment Note, Series B Equipment Note (if issued) and Additional Series Equipment Note (if
issued) shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of each of the Pass Through Trustees
of the Pass Through Trusts then in existence created under the Pass Through Trust Agreements
referred to in Schedule II. If no Series B Equipment Notes are issued on the Closing Date, then,
subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase
Agreement, Section 2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(d) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Company shall have the option to issue Series B Equipment Notes after the Closing
Date. In addition, if all of the Series B Equipment Notes (whether issued on or after the Closing
Date) shall have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Company shall, subject to
compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, Section
2.02 of the Participation Agreement and Section 8.01(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, have the
option to issue new Series B Equipment Notes with the same Series B designation as, but with terms
that may be the same as or different from those of, the redeemed Series B Equipment Notes. Any
Series B Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date pursuant to any of the two immediately
preceding sentences shall have such maturities, principal amounts and interest rate as specified in
Schedule I hereto in respect of Series B Equipment Notes, as such Schedule I may be amended in
connection with any such issuance. One separate series of Additional Series Equipment Notes may be
issued concurrently with, or after, the initial issuance of any Series B Equipment Notes hereunder
and such series of Additional Series Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of original issuance
thereof and shall have such maturities, principal amounts and interest rate as specified in an
amendment to this Indenture. Without limitation of the foregoing, if any Additional Series
Equipment Notes shall have been issued hereunder, new Additional Series Equipment Notes may be
issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11(b). The Equipment Notes shall be issued in
registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof, except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an
integral multiple of $1,000.

     Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate specified for such Series calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months, payable in arrears on each
Payment Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the most
recent Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has
been so paid or provided for, from the date of

Indenture and Security Agreement

issuance of such Equipment Note) until such
principal amount is paid in full, as further provided in the form of Equipment Note set forth in
Section 2.01. The principal amount of each Series A Equipment Note and, if issued, each Series B
Equipment Note and
Additional Series Equipment Note shall be payable in installments or in a single payment on
the Payment Dates set forth in Schedule I to such Equipment Note, each such installment, if any, to
be in an amount computed by multiplying the original principal amount of such Equipment Note by the
corresponding percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any Series B Equipment
Notes or any Additional Series Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such Schedule I may
be amended in connection with such issuance) applicable to such Series, the applicable portion of
which shall be attached as Schedule I to such Equipment Note, opposite the Payment Date on which
such installment is due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each
Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid principal amount
and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each
Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not at the Debt
Rate) (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any
principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) Make-Whole Amount, if any,
interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the
same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue
under an Equipment Note if not paid in the manner provided therein or in this Indenture when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment hereunder or under any Equipment Note
becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not be made on such
scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on such scheduled date, and if such payment is made on such next succeeding Business
Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date.

     The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile
signature of one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals
who were at the time of execution the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective
dates of such Equipment Notes. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes unless there appears on such
Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided herein executed by the Loan
Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

14

 

certificate upon any
Equipment Notes shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and, except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other
amounts due under each Equipment Note or otherwise payable hereunder shall be payable by the
Company in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the due date of payment to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for
distribution among the Noteholders in the manner provided herein, and payment of such amount by the
Company to the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to make such
payment. The Company shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any
Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary,
the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing
by any Noteholder (with a copy to the Company), all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under
such Noteholder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor
(including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or causing to be
transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such Noteholder with a bank
located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for
credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the
event the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Pass Through
Trustees, the Loan Trustee shall, unless instructed by the Company to use another method, pay such
amounts by check mailed to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Equipment Note Register.
If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall fail (other than as a result of a failure of
the Noteholder to provide it with wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to
be paid by wire transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day it
receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to
compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the Federal Funds Rate until such payment
is made and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such
payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of
any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note,
such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee for cancellation. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Loan Trustee shall not be required to make,
or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is
practicable for the Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so
transferred were

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

15

 

received by it if such funds were received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at
the place of payment, in which case the Loan Trustee shall make such required payment on the next
succeeding Business Day. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee
thereof shall be a registered Noteholder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such
Noteholder specified in Schedule I to the Participation Agreement, or otherwise in the manner
provided in or pursuant to the Participation
Agreement, unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to
the Loan Trustee consistent with this Section 2.03.

     Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Loan Trustee shall exclude and withhold at the
appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall
constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as
applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Loan Trustee
agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or
future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable
hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts (which withholding shall
constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as
applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of
the Noteholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due,
and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with
a copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such
additional documentary evidence as any such Noteholder may reasonably request from time to time.
The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under
United States law.

     Section 2.05. Application of Payments. Subject always to Section 2.13 and except as
otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of an
installment of principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest paid thereon shall be
applied:

     first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any
interest on (i) any overdue principal amount, and (ii) to the extent
permitted by law, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, any overdue interest and any other
overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

     second, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment
Note;

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

16

 

     third, to the payment of the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion
thereof) then due thereunder, if any; and

     fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter to the payment of installments of
the principal amount of such Equipment Note (or portion thereof) remaining unpaid in the
inverse order of their maturity.

     Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder or Indenture
Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the
Collateral when and if the principal amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including,
to the extent permitted by law, post-petition interest and interest on any overdue amounts) on and
all other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then due
and payable to such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder (including,
without limitation, under Section 2.14) and under the Participation Agreement by the Company (the
“Secured Obligations”) have been paid in full.

     Subject to Section 10.01 hereof, no Related Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any
further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all Related Secured
Obligations have been paid in full.

     Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes. The Loan
Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the
Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of
transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration
hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for
the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A
holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender
such Equipment Note to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written
request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of the same
Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder
or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and subject to
satisfaction of Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment
Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option of the
Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any
authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment
Notes to be exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

17

 

Equipment
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled
to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment
Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture)
shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and
entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Loan Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
and the Company and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance
of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state or
jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of
all payments of principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with
respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal, interest and all other amounts shall
be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have
been paid on such old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any
surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period preceding the
due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has been called for redemption.
The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases deem and treat the Person in whose name any
Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute
owner and the Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts
payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor
the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly
notify the Company of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of
an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the
Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and
the Pass Through Documents applicable to the Noteholders or, in the case of each Related Indenture,
Related Noteholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such transferee of
an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note: (i) agrees to the applicable
provisions of Section 6.01, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 of the Participation Agreement, and shall
be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation
Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the Noteholders, including the
Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation Agreement and (ii) agrees to the restrictions
set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii) and Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

Agreement, and shall
be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any
direction to, or otherwise authorize, the Loan Trustee to take any action that would violate
Section 4.01(a)(ii) or Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to compliance
by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07
and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new
Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is
surrendered for transfer or exchange.

     Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment
Note becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall, upon the written request of
the holder of such Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section
2.09, execute and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new
Equipment Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal amount, dated the same date and
captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has
become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Loan Trustee, and a photocopy
thereof shall be furnished to the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been
destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the
Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Company and the Loan
Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Loan Trustee of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.

     Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. (a) No service charge
shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but
the Loan Trustee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of

     Section 3.07. Securities Account. In furtherance of the provisions of Section 3.03,
U.S. Bank agrees to act as an Eligible Institution under this Indenture in accordance with the

its capacity as Loan Trustee, U.S. Bank waives any claim or lien against any Eligible Account it
may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by the Company. The
Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Indenture, (i) any amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to subclause (ix) of
clause “third” of Section 3.03 and any investment earnings thereon or other Permitted Investments
in which such amounts are invested will be credited to an Eligible Account (the “Securities
Account”) for which it is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of
the NY UCC) and the Loan Trustee
is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC) of the “security
entitlement” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to each “financial
asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible Account,

credited to the Securities Account will be credited to the Securities Account, (iii) all
items of property (whether cash, investment property, Permitted Investments, other investments,
securities, instruments or other property) credited to the Securities Account will be treated as a
“financial asset” under Article 8 of the NY UCC, (iv) its “securities intermediary’s
jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the NY UCC) with respect to the Securities Account
is the State of New York, and (v) all securities, instruments and other property in order
or registered form and credited to the Securities Account shall be payable to or to the order of,
or registered in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or shall be indorsed to the Securities
Intermediary or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any financial asset credited to the
Securities Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to or to the order of the
Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially
indorsed by the Company to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. The Loan Trustee

Indenture and Security Agreement

agrees that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in its books and records that it holds) its “security
entitlements” to the “financial assets” credited to the Securities Account in trust for the benefit
of the Noteholders, each Indenture Indemnitee and each Related Indenture Indemnitee as set forth in
this Indenture. The Company acknowledges that, by reason of the Loan Trustee being the
“entitlement holder” in respect of the Securities Account as provided above, the Loan Trustee shall
have the sole right and discretion, subject only to the terms of this Indenture, to give all
“entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the NY UCC) with respect to the
Securities Account and any and all financial assets and other property credited thereto to the
exclusion of the Company. If any Person asserts any Lien (including, without limitation, any writ,
garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities
Account or any financial asset carried therein, U.S. Bank will promptly notify the Loan Trustee and
the Company thereof.

remedies described in this Section 4.02 in such manner as to limit the Company’s control under this
Indenture (or any Permitted Lessee’s control under any Lease) of the Airframe, any Engines
installed thereon or any such Engine, unless at least 60 days’ (or such lesser period as may then

payable, whereupon the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then
outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due
thereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount), shall immediately
become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice, all of which
are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in Section
4.01(f), Section 4.01(g), Section 4.01(h) or Section 4.01(i) shall have occurred and be
continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes

the Company’s expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company shall deliver promptly, all or
such part of the Airframe or any Engine as the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan

any Engine after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises
where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located and take immediate
possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which
is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or
secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is
not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the
continental United States, and such engine shall be held at the expense of the Company for
the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if

Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld), be
exchanged with the Company for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.05(b); (B) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or
private sale, whether or not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as

discretion, determines, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Company,
and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.03;
or (C) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein or in any other Operative Document, (i) as permitted by Article 15 of
the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are
hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Indenture and the other Operative Documents,
except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from; and
(ii) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of
Chapter II of the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this
Indenture and the other Operative Documents, except for (x) Article XVI of the
Aircraft Protocol and (y) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be
derogated from. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the
exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Operative Documents is subject to other
applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC and the Bankruptcy Code, and that
nothing herein derogates from the rights of the Company or the Loan Trustee under or
pursuant to such other applicable law, including without limitation, the NY UCC or the
Bankruptcy Code.

     Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Loan Trustee
may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for
maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral
as it deems necessary to cause the Collateral to be in such condition as required by the provisions
of this Indenture. In each such case, the Loan Trustee may maintain, use, operate, store, insure,
lease, control, manage or dispose of the Collateral and may exercise all rights and powers of the
Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems best, including the right
to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage,
insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the
Loan Trustee may reasonably determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to collect and
receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral
and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the
rights of the Loan Trustee under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all
cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Loan Trustee hereunder. Such tolls, rents,
revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use,
operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and
of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all
payments that the Loan Trustee is required or elects to

Indenture and Security Agreement

make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other
proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and
all other payments which the Loan Trustee is required or expressly authorized to make under any
provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the
Loan Trustee, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall
either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity and the
Loan Trustee shall be entitled to exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee,
the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments of title and
other documents as the Loan Trustee reasonably deems necessary or advisable to enable the Loan
Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and
place or places as the Loan Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the
Collateral to which the Loan Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall
for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the
Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may seek a judgment conferring on the Loan Trustee the right to
immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents to the Loan Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically
consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. All actual and reasonable expenses of
obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid,
be secured by the Lien of this Indenture.

     (b) The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any
public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the
Company hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Any
Noteholder or Noteholders shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral
offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such
sale by such Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Noteholders under the
Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of this Indenture (but only to the extent that such
purchase price would have been paid to such Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase
price were paid in cash and the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given effect).
The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or production of the Equipment Notes
or proof of ownership thereof, and as a representative of the Noteholders may exercise such right
without notice to the Noteholders as party to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of
any Collateral. The Company shall also
be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to
this Section 4.02.

     (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably appoints, while an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Trustee the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and
stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery
for the enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of
sale, or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Company hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in
accordance with applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any
purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by
executing and delivering to the Loan Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments,
releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may
reasonably be designated in any such request.

     (d) At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all
Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable, or all Equipment Notes shall have become
due and payable as provided in the proviso to Section 4.02(a)(i), and, in either case, prior to the
sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV, a Majority in Interest of
Noteholders, by written notice to the Company and the Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration, whether made by the Loan Trustee on its own accord or as directed or deemed
declaration, and its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the
Loan Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and
interest on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the Operative Documents, that
have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and (ii) all other
Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes
that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been either cured or waived;
provided that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (i) so long as the Pass Through Trustee
under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder,
the Loan Trustee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any
action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause
any Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes, and
(ii) the Loan Trustee will not take any action that would
violate
Section 4.01(a)(ii) or
Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under applicable law,
each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the Loan Trustee herein or otherwise
in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and
remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and
each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing may
be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the
Loan Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any 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 the Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or
power or in the pursuance 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 on the part of the
Company or to be an acquiescence therein.

     Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee shall have
instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by
foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Loan Trustee, then and in every such case
the Company and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Loan Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been
undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice).

     Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a Majority in
Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall waive any past default hereunder and its
consequences, and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture and the
other Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon; provided that in the absence of written instructions
from each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not waive any default (i) in
the payment of the principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest due under any Equipment
Note then outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof), or (ii) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of each such affected Noteholder.

     Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A
Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at
law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Indenture for the

appointment of a receiver or
for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Indenture, unless:

     (1) such Noteholder previously shall have given written notice to the Loan Trustee of
a continuing Event of Default;

     (2) a Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have requested the Loan Trustee in
writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Loan
Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 5.03;

     (3) the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such action,
suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity; and

     (4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

     Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any Indenture Supplement,
it is understood and intended that no one or more of the Noteholders of any Series shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment
Notes of such Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any
Collateral, or the Lien of the Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the Noteholders of
such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference with respect to any
other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii) enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all the Noteholders of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

     Section 4.07. Appointment of a Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Equipment Notes either shall
have been accelerated pursuant to Section 4.02 or have become due at maturity, the Loan Trustee
shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Loan
Trustee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such
receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof
or otherwise, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby consents to the
appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed
for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of
the Loan Trustee with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE V

DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE

     Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall have knowledge
of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by the Company to pay when due any
payment of principal amount, interest, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable under any
Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, each Liquidity
Provider and each Noteholder by telegram, cable, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed
in writing). Subject to the terms of Section 4.02, Section 4.05, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03,
the Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
default or Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies
hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of
Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Loan Trustee shall not have
received instructions as above provided within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such default
or Event of Default to the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter
received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain
from taking such action with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall reasonably
determine to be advisable and in the best interests of the Noteholders, but shall be under no duty
to take or refrain from taking any action. The Loan Trustee shall use the same degree of care and
skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs. The Loan Trustee may not sell the Airframe or any Engine without the
consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.

     For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Loan Trustee shall
not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by
the Company or one or more Noteholders; and “actual knowledge” (as used in the foregoing clause) of
the Loan Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the
Loan Trustee; provided that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of
(i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount of, or interest on, the
Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the same shall become due or (ii) the
failure of the Company to maintain insurance as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee
receives written notice thereof from an insurer or insurance broker.

     Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations. Subject to
the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written instructions at any time of a Majority
in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice,
direction, consent, waiver or approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

in respect
of all or any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action permitted hereunder, in
each case, as is specified in such instructions.

     The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any supplements to it and any financing statements
or other documents as are necessary to maintain the perfection hereof or otherwise protect the
security interests created hereby. The Loan Trustee shall furnish to the Company upon request such
information and copies of such documents as the Loan Trustee may have and as are necessary for the
Company to perform its duties under Article II hereof.

     Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any
action or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof)
or Section 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall have received indemnification against any risks
incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including,
without limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be actually incurred by it in
connection therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.01
(other than the first sentence thereof) or Section 5.02 or Article IV, nor shall any other
provision of any Operative Document be deemed to impose a duty on the Loan Trustee to take any
action, if the Loan Trustee shall have been advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary
to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

     Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions. The Loan
Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, lease, use, sell, operate, store,
dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise
take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, except as
expressly provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement or as expressly
provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02;
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Loan Trustee.

     Section 5.05. No Action Except under Indenture or Instructions. The Loan Trustee
agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise
deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers
granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in
accordance with the express terms hereof.

     Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee. Any monies (including
for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any amounts held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02,
Section 3.03 or Section 3.07 or pursuant to any provision of any

Indenture and Security Agreement

other Operative Document providing
for amounts to be held by the Loan Trustee which are not distributed pursuant to the other
provisions of Article III, or any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or
Section 7.06(d) or otherwise, or Permitted Investments purchased by the use of such cash pursuant
to this Section 5.06 or any cash constituting the proceeds of the maturity, sale or other
disposition of any such
Permitted Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until
paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below and
Section 3.07, may be carried by the Loan Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit to its
account with any bank, trust company or national banking association incorporated or doing business
under the laws of the United States or one of the states thereof having combined capital and
surplus and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000, and the Loan Trustee shall not have any
liability for interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company,
or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company, shall be invested and reinvested in
Permitted Investments as specified in such request (if such investments are reasonably available
for purchase) and sold, in any case at such prices, including accrued interest or its equivalent,
as are set forth in such request, and, as provided in Section 3.07, such Permitted Investments
shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as part of the Collateral until so sold;
provided that the Company shall upon demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss
realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as
no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be
entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company,
any profit, income, interest, dividend or gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of
any Permitted Investment. All Permitted Investments held by the Loan Trustee pursuant to this
Section 5.06 shall be held pursuant to Section 3.07. If an Event of Default or Payment Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or gain realized
upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment shall be held as part of the
Collateral and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee at the same time, on the same conditions and in
the same manner as the amounts in respect of which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain
was realized are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant to
which such amounts were required to be held. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall
not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such income, profit, interest,
dividend or gain shall be paid to the Company. In addition, subject to Section 3.03, if any moneys
or investments are held by the Loan Trustee solely because an Event of Default or Payment Default
has occurred and is continuing, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of
Default or Payment Default, such moneys and investments shall be paid to the Company. The Loan
Trustee shall not be responsible for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted
Investments made pursuant to the

Securities Intermediary with respect to the Security Account, as set forth in Section 3.07.

     Section 6.02. Absence of Certain Duties. Except in accordance with written
instructions furnished pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or Section 6.06, and except as

Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of such party as duly
adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly
adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of
ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee may for all purposes
hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, as to such fact
or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee may (a) execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and
perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents (including paying agents or
registrars) or attorneys, and (b) at the expense of the Collateral, consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and retained by it; provided that,
prior to retaining agents (including paying agents or registrars), counsel, accountants or other
skilled Persons, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Loan Trustee shall obtain the Company’s
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care
and judgment in selecting such Persons).

in refraining from acting until it receives such instructions. The Loan Trustee shall be fully

Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the existence of any such
lease with a term in excess of one year.

     The Loan Trustee, and each Noteholder by acceptance of an Equipment Note, and each Related
Noteholder by acceptance of a Related Equipment Note, agrees, for the benefit of the Company (and
any Permitted Lessee) and for the benefit of the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of any
airframe or engine leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or leased to or purchased or
owned by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security
agreement, that the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders will not acquire or claim, as against the
Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party, any right,
title or interest in (A) any engine or engines owned by the Company (or any Permitted
Lessee) or the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured
party under any conditional sale or other security agreement as the result of such engine or
engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are

subject to
such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement or (B) any airframe owned by the
Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest
in favor of the secured party under any conditional sale or other security agreement as the result
of any Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such airframe is subject to such
lease or conditional sale or other security agreement.

     The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any “wet lease” or other similar arrangement under which
the Company maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer
or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section 7.02(a).

     (b) Operation and Use. The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be maintained,
used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation of any
government of any country having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or in violation of any
airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such
government, except to the extent the Company is contesting in good faith the validity or
application of any such law, rule or regulation or airworthiness certificate, license or
registration in any manner that does not involve any material risk of
sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or impair the Lien of this Indenture;
provided that the Company shall not be in default under, or required to take any action set
forth in, this sentence if it is not possible for it to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the United States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered). The Company will not operate the Aircraft,
or permit the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by
any insurance required by the terms of Section 7.06 or (ii) in any war zone or recognized
or, in the Company’s judgment, threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance
in accordance with Section 7.06, unless in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), (x)
governmental indemnification complying with Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b) has been provided
or (y) the Aircraft is only temporarily located in such area as a result of an isolated
occurrence or isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking, medical emergency,
equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error or other similar unforeseen
circumstances and the Company is using its good faith efforts to remove the Aircraft from such area
as promptly as practicable.

     (c) Maintenance. The Company shall maintain, service, repair and overhaul the
Aircraft (or cause the same to be done) (i) so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating
condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such condition as may be
necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good
standing at all times (other than during temporary periods of

storage, during maintenance or
modification permitted hereunder, or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental
authorities) under the Transportation Code, during such periods in which the Aircraft is registered
under the laws of the United States, or, if the Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other
jurisdiction, the applicable laws of such jurisdiction and (ii) using the same standards as
the Company or, in the case of a lease permitted pursuant to Section 7.02(a), the applicable
Permitted Lessee uses with respect to similar aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted
Lessee, as the case may be, in similar circumstances (in any case, without limitation of the
Company’s obligations under the preceding clause (i)). In any case the Aircraft will be maintained
in accordance with a maintenance program for Boeing [737-800]12 [757-200]13
[777-200ER]14 aircraft approved by the FAA or, if the Aircraft is not registered in the
United States, (i) the EASA or the JAA, (ii) the central aviation authority of
Australia, Canada, Japan or New Zealand, or (iii) the central aviation authority of any
country with aircraft maintenance standards that are substantially similar to those of the United
States or any
of the foregoing authorities or countries. The Company shall maintain or cause to be
maintained all records, logs and other documents required to be maintained in respect of the
Aircraft by appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered.

     (d) Identification of Loan Trustee’s Interest. The Company agrees to affix as
promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of the
Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and (if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or
by any government) on each Engine, a nameplate bearing the inscription “MORTGAGED TO U.S. BANK
TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE” (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a
nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Loan Trustee). If any such nameplate is damaged
beyond repair or becomes illegible, the Company shall promptly replace it with a nameplate
complying with the requirements of this Section.

     (e) Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered,
under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company except as otherwise required by the
Transportation Code; provided that the Loan Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense,
execute and deliver all such documents as the Company may

reasonably request for the purpose of
continuing such registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company, at its own
expense, may cause or allow the Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any foreign
jurisdiction in which a Permitted Lessee could be principally based, in the name of the Company or
of any nominee of the Company, or, if required by applicable law, in the name of any other Person
(and, following any such foreign registration, may cause the Aircraft to be re-registered under the
laws of the United States); provided that in the case of jurisdictions other than those
approved by the Loan Trustee with the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (i)
if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall
have received at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect
that (A) this Indenture and the Loan Trustee’s right to repossession thereunder is valid
and enforceable under the laws of such country, (B) after giving effect to such change in
registration, the Lien of this Indenture shall continue as a valid Lien and shall be duly perfected
in the new jurisdiction of registration and that all filing, recording or other action necessary to
perfect and protect the Lien of this Indenture has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot be
given at such time, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is
necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have received a certificate from a Responsible
Officer of the Company that all possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and
other action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be
accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be promptly delivered to the Loan
Trustee subsequent to the effective date of such change in registration), (C) the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture shall remain valid, binding and (subject to
customary bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and to other exceptions customary in foreign
opinions generally) enforceable under the laws of such jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction to
which the laws of such jurisdiction would refer as the applicable governing law) and (D)
all approvals or consents of any government in such jurisdiction having jurisdiction required for
such change in registration shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect,
and (ii) if such jurisdiction is at the time of registration not listed on Exhibit B, the
Loan Trustee shall have received (in addition to the opinions set forth in clause (i) above) at the
time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that (A) the
terms of this Indenture are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in such jurisdiction (subject to
exceptions customary in such jurisdiction, provided that, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally,
and to general principles of equity, any applicable laws limiting the remedies provided in Section
4.02 do not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided in Section 4.02 inadequate
for the practical realization of the rights and benefits provided thereby), (B) that it is
not necessary for the Loan Trustee to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction,
(C) that there is no tort liability of the lender of an aircraft not in possession thereof
under the laws of such jurisdiction other

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

57

 

than tort liability that might have been imposed on such
lender under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being understood that such
opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is provided, at
the Company’s expense, to cover such risk) and (D) (unless the Company shall have agreed to
provide insurance covering the risk of requisition of use or title of the Aircraft by the
government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such
jurisdiction) that the laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of
such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss of use or title
of the Aircraft in the event of requisition by such government of such use or title. The Loan
Trustee will cooperate with the Company in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of the Aircraft, the following
conditions shall be met (or waived as provided in Section 6.01(b) of the Participation Agreement):

     (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of
the change in registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with
this condition if the change in registration results in the registration of the Aircraft
under the laws of the United States or if a Majority in Interest of Noteholders consents to
such change in registration;

     (ii) the Loan Trustee shall have received evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions contained herein after giving effect to such change in registration; and

     (iii) the Company shall have paid or made provision reasonably satisfactory to the
Loan Trustee for the payment of all reasonable expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders in
connection with such change in registration.

     The Company shall (i) take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Company
so that any International Interest arising in relation to this Indenture, the Aircraft, any
Replacement Aircraft, any Engine or Replacement Engine may be duly registered (and any such
registration may be assigned, amended, extended or discharged) at the International Registry, and
(ii) obtain from the International Registry all approvals as may be required duly and
timely to perform the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the registration
of any such International Interest. The Loan Trustee shall take all actions necessary with respect
to the International Registry to consent to the Company’s initiation of any registrations required
under this Indenture to enable the Company to complete such registrations, including, without
limitation, appointing Daugherty, Fowler, Peregrin, Haught & Jenson, a Professional Corporation, as

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

58

 

its “professional user entity” (as defined in the Cape Town Treaty) to consent to any registrations
on the International Registry with respect to the Airframe or any Engine.

     Section 7.03. Inspection; Financial Information. (a) Inspection. At all
reasonable times, but upon at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Loan
Trustee or its authorized representative may, subject to the other conditions of this Section
7.03(a), inspect the Aircraft and may inspect the books and records of the Company required to be
maintained by the FAA or the government of another jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft; provided that (i) the Loan
Trustee or its representative shall be fully insured at no cost to the Company in a manner
satisfactory to the Company with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such
inspection or shall provide to the Company a written release satisfactory to the Company with
respect to such risks, (ii) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security
and workplace rules applicable at the location where such inspection is conducted and any
applicable governmental rules or regulations, (iii) any such inspection of the Aircraft
shall be a visual, walk-around inspection of the interior and exterior of the Aircraft and shall
not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the Company’s express consent, which
consent the Company may in its sole discretion withhold, and (iv) no exercise of such
inspection right shall interfere with the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the
business of, the Company and the Company shall not be required to undertake or incur any additional
liabilities in connection therewith. All information obtained in connection with any such
inspection of the Aircraft and of such books and records shall be Confidential Information and
shall be treated by the Loan Trustee and its representatives in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.16. Any inspection pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) shall be at the sole risk
(including, without limitation, any risk of personal injury or death) and expense of the Loan
Trustee (or its representative), as the case may be, making such inspection. Except during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all inspections by the Loan Trustee and its representatives
provided for under this Section
7.03(a) shall be limited to one inspection of any kind contemplated by this Section 7.03(a)
during any calendar year.

     (b) Financial Information. So long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid,
the Company agrees to furnish to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider: (i) within
60 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods in each fiscal year of the
Company, either (x) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries prepared by it as of the close of such period, together with the related consolidated
statements of income for such period, or (y) a report of the Company on Form 10-Q in
respect of such period in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii)
within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, either (x) a
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

59

 

subsidiaries as of the close of such
fiscal year, together with the related consolidated statements of income for such fiscal year,
certified by independent public accountants, or (y) a report of the Company on Form 10-K in
respect of such year in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
(iii) within 60 days of the filing thereof, a copy of any Current Report on Form 8-K filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The items required to be furnished
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be deemed to have been furnished on the date on
which such item is posted on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and such posting shall be deemed to
satisfy the requirements of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

     Section 7.04. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions;
Airframe and Engine Substitutions. (a) Replacement of Parts. The Company, at its own
expense, shall promptly replace all Parts that may from time to time be incorporated or installed
in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and that may from time to time become worn out, lost,
stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use
for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c) or if the Airframe or an
Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss. In addition, the Company, at its own
expense, may remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing,
any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), at its own expense, will replace such Parts as promptly as
practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted
Liens and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis)
and shall have a value and utility at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced
Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), all Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any
Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture no matter where located until such time
as such Parts shall be replaced by parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or such Engine and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above.
Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or any Engine as above provided (except in the case of replacement property temporarily
installed on an emergency basis), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall
thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan Trustee and of the Lien of this Indenture and
shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and (ii) such replacement Part shall become
subject to the Lien of this Indenture and be deemed a Part of the Airframe or such Engine for all
purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or such Engine. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

60

 

Company an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such
replaced Part from the Lien of this Indenture.

     (b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine as provided in
Section 7.04(a) may be subjected by the Company or a Person permitted to be in possession of the
Aircraft to a pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary
course of the Company’s or such Person’s business; provided that the part replacing such
removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in
accordance with Section 7.04(a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part.
In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or
any Engine may be owned by any third party subject to such a pooling arrangement; provided
that the Company, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes
title to such replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted
Liens), or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or
attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part in the manner contemplated by
Section 7.04(a).

     (c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company will make such alterations
and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the Engines as may be required from time to
time to meet the applicable requirements of the FAA or any applicable government of any other
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered; provided that the Company may,
in good faith, contest the validity or application of any such requirement in any manner that does
not involve any material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft and does not adversely
affect the Loan Trustee’s interest in the Collateral. In addition, the Company, at its own
expense, may from time to time add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company may
deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal
(without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such alteration, modification or addition
shall materially diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine below its value or
utility, immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe
or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture,
except that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe or
any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been removed that the
Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine.
All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the
result of such alteration, modification or addition shall be free and clear of any Liens, other
than Permitted Liens, and shall, without further act, be subject to the Lien of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, remove any Part from the Airframe or
any Engine if such Part: (i) is in

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

61

 

addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution
for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at
the time of delivery thereof to the Company or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any
such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to
the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.04(c) or Section
7.02(d) and (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without materially
diminishing the value or utility required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture that the
Airframe or such Engine would have had had such Part never been installed on the Airframe or such
Engine. Upon the removal by the Company of any Part as permitted by this Section 7.04(c), such
removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights and interests of the Loan
Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon
request of the Company from time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company
an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this
Indenture.

     (d) Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at its option at any
time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a Replacement
Engine for any Engine. In such event, and prior to the date of such substitution, the Company
shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same
extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.

     (e) Substitution of Airframe. The Company shall have the right at its option at any
time, on at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Loan Trustee, to substitute a
Substitute Airframe, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), for the Airframe so
long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
substitution, (ii) the Substitute Airframe has a date of manufacture no earlier than one
year prior to the date of manufacture of the Airframe subject to the Lien of this Indenture on the
Closing Date (each such date of manufacture, in each case, to be deemed to be the date of original
delivery of the applicable airframe to a customer by the Manufacturer) and (iii) the
Substitute Airframe has a MCMV (as defined below) at least equal to the MCMV of the Airframe being
replaced by the Substitute Airframe (assuming that the Airframe had been maintained in accordance
with the Indenture), in each case as determined by a desktop appraisal dated as of a date within
the 60-day period prior to the substitution performed by an Appraiser selected by the Company.
“MCMV” is the “current market value” (as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft
Trading or any successor organization) adjusted for the maintenance status of the Substitute
Airframe and the Airframe being replaced by the Substitute Airframe, as applicable, such
maintenance status to be based upon maintenance data provided by the Company to the applicable
Appraiser with respect to the Substitute Airframe and such

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

62

 

Airframe as of the same date within the
60-day period prior to the substitution for both the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe.

     Prior to or at the time of any substitution under this Section 7.04(e), the Company will
(A) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe to be delivered to the
Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the
Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then
be registered, (B) cause the sale of such Substitute Airframe to the Company (if occurring
after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Substitute Airframe is “situated in” a country
that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and the International Interest created pursuant to the
Indenture Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to such Substitute Airframe to be
registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively;
provided that if the seller of such Substitute Airframe is not situated in a country that
has ratified the Cape Town Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the
seller to register the contract of sale on the International Registry, (C) cause a
financing statement or statements with respect to such Substitute Airframe or other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the
Loan Trustee’s interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the
Company’s counsel (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the
Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to
the effect that upon such substitution, such Substitute Airframe will be subject to the Lien of
this Indenture and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C), (E)
furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06
with respect to such Substitute Airframe, (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with a copy of the
original bill of sale respecting such Substitute Airframe and (G) furnish the Loan Trustee
with an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other
internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the
effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the
Substitute Airframe; provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the
extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or
judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Loan Trustee with respect to the Aircraft
immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and
assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of the Company’s counsel delivered pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the Participation Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and
assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

63

 

     In the case of the Substitute Airframe subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this
Section 7.04(e), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute
Airframe pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other
jurisdiction in which such Substitute Airframe is registered), the Company will cause to be
delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of the Company’s counsel (which may be the
Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due registration of such
Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite
documents or instruments, the registration with the International Registry of the sale of such
Substitute Airframe to the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such
Substitute Airframe is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and of
the International Interests created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with respect to such
Substitute Airframe and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Substitute
Aircraft granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.

     For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the
Substitute Airframe shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an “Airframe” as
defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (G) of the second preceding paragraph,
the Loan Trustee shall (x) execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument
releasing the replaced Airframe, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds,
if any), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and all rights relating to the
foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture, and will take such actions as may be required to be
taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the Loan Trustee
registered with the International Registry in relation to such replaced Airframe and (y)
provide a notice to the Noteholders setting forth (1) the date of the substitution which
shall be the date of filing of the Indenture Supplement described in clause (A) of the second
preceding paragraph, (2) the model of the Substitute Airframe, (3) the manufacturer
serial numbers of the Substitute Airframe and Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe, and
(4) the registration numbers of the Replacement Aircraft of which the Substitute Airframe
is a part and the Aircraft of which the Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe is part.

     Section 7.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition. (a) Event of Loss with Respect to
the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe
and the Engines then installed thereon, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and, in any
event, within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such Event of
Loss, and, within 90 days after such Event of Loss, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee written
notice of its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that if the Company
shall not have given

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

64

 

such notice of election within such 90-day period, the Company shall be deemed
to have
elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)). The Company may elect
either to:

     (i) on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below), substitute, as replacement
for the Airframe or Airframe and Engines with respect to which an Event of Loss has
occurred, a Replacement Airframe (together with a number of Replacement Engines equal to
the number of Engines, if any, with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred), such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be owned by the Company free and clear of
all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that if the Company shall not
perform its obligation to effect such substitution under this clause (i) on or prior to the
Loss Payment Date, then the Company shall on the Loss Payment Date redeem the Equipment
Notes in full in accordance with Section 2.10; or

     (ii) on or before the Loss Payment Date, redeem the Equipment Notes in full in
accordance with Section 2.10. The Company shall give the Loan Trustee 20 days prior
written notice if it elects to redeem the Equipment Notes on any day prior to the Loss
Payment Date.

     The “Loss Payment Date” with respect to an Event of Loss means the Business Day next
succeeding the 120th day following the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss.

     If the Company elects to substitute a Replacement Airframe (or a Replacement Airframe and one
or more Replacement Engines, as the case may be) the Company shall, at its sole expense, not later
than the Loss Payment Date, (A) cause an Indenture Supplement for such Replacement Airframe
and Replacement Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such
execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable laws
of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (B) cause the sale
of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to the Company (if occurring after
February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any,
is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and the International
Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to
such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, each to be registered on the
International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively; provided that
if the seller of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is not situated in a
country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to
cause the seller to register the contract of sale on the International Registry, (C) cause
a financing statement or

statements with respect to the Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, or
other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the Loan Trustee’s interest therein in the United States, or in any other
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Loan Trustee
with an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other
internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed
to the Loan Trustee to the effect that upon such replacement, such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing the
matters set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C), (E) furnish the Loan Trustee with a
certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser, certifying that the Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a value and utility (without regard to hours or
cycles) at least equal to the Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced, assuming the Airframe and
such Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Loss, (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance
with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Airframe and

bill of sale is unavailable, other evidence of ownership reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee (which may be a copy of an invoice or purchase order) respecting such Replacement Engines,
if any, and (H) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which
may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled
to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe; provided that
(i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were
not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to
the Loan Trustee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and
(ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the
opinion of the Company’s counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Participation Agreement
on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary
in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

     In the case of each Replacement Airframe or Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement
Engines subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(a), promptly upon the
recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines,
if any, pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, are registered),
the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a favorable opinion of the

Company’s
counsel (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel to
the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan
Trustee as to the due registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such
Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments, the registration with the
International Registry of the sale of such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, to
the Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Airframe
and Replacement Engines, if any, is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town
Convention) and of the International Interests created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with
respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, and the validity and
perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft granted to the Loan Trustee under
this Indenture.

     For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the
Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, shall become part of the Collateral, the

Engine shall be deemed an “Engine” as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (H)
of the second preceding paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall (x) execute and deliver to the
Company an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) installed
thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred, all proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any)
and all rights relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the
Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Airframe and Engines arising
from the Event of Loss, and will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Loan
Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the Loan Trustee registered with the
International Registry in relation to the Airframe and Engines, if any, with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, and (y) provide a notice to the Noteholders setting forth
(1) the date of the replacement which shall be the date of filing of the Indenture
Supplement described in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph, (2) the model of the
Replacement Airframe, (3) the manufacturer serial numbers of the Replacement Airframe and
Airframe replaced by the Replacement Airframe, and (4) the registration numbers of the
Replacement Aircraft of which the Replacement Airframe is part and the Aircraft of which the
Airframe replaced by the Replacement Airframe is part.

     In the event that, after an Event of Loss, the Company performs the option set forth in clause
(ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7.05(a), the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Company an appropriate instrument releasing the Aircraft, all proceeds (including, without
limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of the Aircraft and all rights
relating to the foregoing from the Lien of this

Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims
against third Persons for damage to or
loss of the Aircraft arising from the Event of Loss, and will take such actions as may be
required to be taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any International Interest of the
Loan Trustee registered with the International Registry in relation to the Airframe and Engines, if
any, with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred.

     (b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss
with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe, the Company shall give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof
within 15 days after the Company has determined that an Event of Loss has occurred with respect to
such Engine and shall, within 120 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be
subjected to the Lien of this Indenture, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted
Liens).

     Prior to or at the time of any replacement under this Section 7.05(b), the Company will
(i) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine to be delivered to the
Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the
Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be
registered, (ii) furnish the Loan Trustee with a copy of the original bill of sale or, if
the bill of sale is unavailable, other evidence of ownership reasonably satisfactory to the Loan
Trustee (which may be a copy of an invoice or purchase order) respecting such Replacement Engine,
(iii) cause the sale of such Replacement Engine to the Company (if occurring after February
28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement Engine is “situated in” a country that has ratified
the Cape Town Convention) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture
Supplement in favor of the Loan Trustee with respect to such Replacement Engine, to be registered
on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest; provided that if the
seller of such Replacement Engine is not situated in a country that has ratified the Cape Town
Convention, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the seller to register the
contract of sale on the International Registry, (iv) cause a financing statement or
statements with respect to such Replacement Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to
be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee’s interest
therein in the United States, or in such other jurisdiction in which the Engine may then be
registered, (v) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which
may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that, upon

was in the
condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Event of Loss and (vii) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the
insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine. In the case of each
Replacement Engine subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(b), promptly
upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the
Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft is registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of
counsel to the Company (which may be the Company’s General Counsel or such other internal counsel
of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan
Trustee as to the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or
instruments, the registration with the International Registry of the sale of such Replacement
Engine to Company (if occurring after February 28, 2006 and if the seller of such Replacement
Engine is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Convention) and of the
International Interest created pursuant to the Indenture Supplement with respect to such
Replacement Engine, and the validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement
Engine granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, upon the
attachment of the Lien of this Indenture thereto, the Replacement Engine shall become part of the
Collateral and shall be deemed an “Engine” as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (i)
through (vii) of this paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an
appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Engine and all rights relating
to any of the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims
against third Persons for damage to or loss of such Engine arising from the Event of Loss, and will
take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Loan Trustee to cancel or release any
International Interest of the Loan Trustee registered with the International Registry in relation
to the Engines with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred.

     (c) Application of Payments for Event of Loss from Requisition of Title or Use. Any
payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Section 7.06)
received at any time by the Company or by the Loan Trustee from any government or other Person with
respect to an Event of Loss to the Airframe or any Engine, will be applied as follows:

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

69

 

     (i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the
Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company
pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company;

     (ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and
the Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced pursuant
to Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan
Trustee for costs and expenses that shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by the
Company to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof shall be applied in reduction of
the Company’s obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the Company, or, if
already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for its payment of
such amount and the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over
to, or retained by, the Company; and

     (iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an
Event of Loss has occurred as contemplated by Section 7.05(b), so much of such payments
remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and expenses shall be paid over
to, or retained by, the Company; provided that the Company shall have fully
performed the terms of Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
payments are made.

     (d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and the Engines Installed
Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any government, including, without
limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on
the Airframe that does not constitute an Event of Loss, the Company shall promptly notify the Loan
Trustee and all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Indenture with respect to the
Airframe and such Engines shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not
occurred; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations other
than payment obligations shall only continue to the extent feasible. All payments received by the
Company or the Loan Trustee from such government for such use of the Airframe and Engines or
engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

     (e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine Not Installed on the Airframe.
In the event of the requisition for use by any government of any Engine not then installed on the
Airframe, the Company will replace such Engine by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to
the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

respect to such Engine. Upon such
replacement, any payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government with
respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

     (f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default. Any amount referred
to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the Company shall not be paid to or retained
by the Company if at the time of such payment or retention an
Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held
by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Participation Agreement. Subject to Section 3.03, at such time as there shall
not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be paid to the
Company.

     Section 7.06. Insurance.

     (a) Aircraft Liability Insurance.

     (i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (a), and subject to the
rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the
extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company will carry, or cause to be carried, at no
expense to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited to,
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability, exclusive of manufacturer’s
product liability insurance) and contractual liability insurance with respect to the
Aircraft (A) in amounts that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance
applicable to similar aircraft and engines in the Company’s fleet on which the Company
carries insurance (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, in such Permitted
Lessee’s fleet on which such Permitted Lessee carries insurance); provided that
such liability insurance (including self-insurance specified in Section 7.06(c)) shall not
be less than the amount certified in the insurance report delivered to the Loan Trustee and
each Liquidity Provider on the Closing Date, (B) of the type usually carried by
corporations engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with the Company
or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, and owning or operating similar aircraft and
engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Company or such
Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, and (C) that is maintained in effect with
insurers of recognized responsibility; provided that the Company will carry, or
cause to be carried, at no expense to the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability war risk and
allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company or such
Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, with respect to other aircraft operated by the
Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes. Any
policies

of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and any policies
taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A) name
the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each Pass Through Trustee and each Liquidity
Provider as their Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as
additional insureds (the “Specified Persons”), (B) subject to the
conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified
Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the
Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Company (or any
Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the
war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason
whatever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces the amount of
insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date
to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse
for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to
any Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily
available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after
receipt by such Specified Person of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation,
change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall have no obligation or
liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such
insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1)
set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in
respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the
Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent
that the Company has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Specified Persons
pursuant to the Operative Documents, (F) be primary without right of contribution
from any other insurance that may be carried by each Specified Person with respect to its
Interests as such in the Aircraft and (G) expressly provide that all of the
provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if
there were a separate policy covering each insured. “Interests” as used in this
Section 7.06(a) and in Section 7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the interests of
such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the case of a
lease or contract with any government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the
case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid
agreement by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued by
such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required hereunder to insure
against shall be considered adequate insurance for

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

72

 

purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the
extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or
insurance. To the extent that the war risk and allied perils insurance provider does not
provide for provision of direct notice to each Specified Person of cancellation, change or
lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of
notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give each Specified Person
immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such
insurance.

     (ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, is on the
ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such
non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above,
and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance
otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the
amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of airline liability
insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the
Company (or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) of the
same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in
operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be
the same as from time to time shall be applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased
by the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-operating Airframe
or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation.

     (b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft.

     (i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and subject to the
rights of the Company to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the
extent specified in Section 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained,
in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan Trustee,
all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect
to any Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war
risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by the Company
(or, in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee, such Permitted Lessee) with respect to
other aircraft operated by the Company or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the
same or similar routes) that is of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the
same or similar business and similarly situated with the Company or such Permitted Lessee,
as the case may be; provided that (A) such insurance (including the
permitted self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this
Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

73

 

aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Equipment Notes from time to time and (B) such insurance need not cover an
Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by the Company, provided
that such Engine is covered by a separate policy of insurance. Any policies carried in
accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken out in substitution or
replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide that (I) any insurance
proceeds up to an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes, together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon, plus an amount equal to the interest that would accrue
on the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes at the Debt Rate in effect on
the date of payment of such insurance proceeds to the Loan Trustee (as provided for in this
sentence) during the period commencing on the day following the date of such payment to the
Loan Trustee and ending on the Loss Payment Date (the sum of such three amounts being the
“Loan Amount”), payable for any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, and (II) any insurance proceeds in excess of the amount
set forth on Exhibit C up to the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss or damage to the
Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall
be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as this Indenture shall not have been discharged, and
that all other amounts shall be payable to the Company, unless the insurer shall have
received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for
any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up to the amount of the Loan Amount shall
be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below,
provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the
insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company (or any
Permitted Lessee) and shall insure the Specified Persons’ Interests as they appear,
regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained
in such policies by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee), (C) provide that, except
to the extent not provided by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such
insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy
that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance
report delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if
such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or
lapse shall not be effective as to the Specified Persons for 30 days (seven days, or such
other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of war risk or allied
perils coverage) after receipt by the Specified Persons of written notice from such
insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Specified
Persons shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or
calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that the

Indenture and Security Agreement

74

 

insurers shall waive
rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment
or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any
moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified
Persons to the extent the Company has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify the
Specified Persons pursuant to the Operative Documents, and (F) be primary without
right of contribution from any
other insurance that may be carried by any Specified Person with respect to its
Interests as such in the Aircraft. In the case of a lease or contract with any government
in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the
Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement by such government to indemnify
the Company, or an insurance policy issued by such government, against any risks which the
Company is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for
purposes of this Section 7.06(b) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are
the subject of such indemnification or insurance. To the extent that the war risk and
allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to each
Specified Person of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the
Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance
provider it shall give each Specified Person immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse
of, or material change to, such insurance.

     (ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is on the ground and not in
operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe
or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to
self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming
with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered and the
type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes or engines
owned or leased by the Company (or, if a lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee)
of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and
not in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted
by Section 7.06(c), the Company (or such Permitted Lessee) shall maintain insurance against
risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe in an amount at least equal to 110%
of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes during such period
that such Airframe is on the ground and not in operation.

     (c) Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure, by way of
deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or otherwise (including, with
respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.06(a) or Section 7.06(b), insuring for a
maximum amount that is less than the amounts set forth in Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b)), the
risks required to be insured against pursuant to

Indenture and Security Agreement

(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

75

 

Section 7.06(a) and Section 7.06(b), but in no
case shall the self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the Company’s
fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year 1% of the
average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, unless an insurance
broker of national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major United States
airlines is a
higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company may self-insure the Aircraft to such
higher level. In addition to the foregoing right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to
the extent of (1) any deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not
in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to
facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft (or if
applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance deductibles imposed by the
aircraft or hull liability insurers.

     (d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by the Company
with the insurers. As between the Loan Trustee and the Company it is agreed that all insurance
payments received under policies required to be maintained by the Company hereunder, exclusive of
any payments received in excess of the Loan Amount, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:

     (i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and any
Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is being replaced by the Company
pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan
Trustee and upon completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company;

     (ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and
any Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been and will not be replaced as
contemplated by Section 7.05(a), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of
the Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts required to be
paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof shall be applied (A) in
reduction of the Company’s obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the
Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse the Company for
its payment of such amounts and (B) the balance, if any, of such payment remaining
thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; and

     (iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with regard to which an
Event of Loss contemplated by Section 7.05(b) has occurred, so much of such payments
remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

76

 

its costs and expenses shall be paid
over to, or retained by, the Company or its designee; provided that the Company
shall have fully performed its obligations under Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event
of Loss for which such payments are made.

     In all events, (x) the insurance payment of any property damage or loss with respect
to property other than the Airframe or any Engine received under policies maintained by the
Company, and (y) the insurance payment for any loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of
the Loan Amount, shall be paid to the Company or its designee.

     The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an
Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in payment (or to
reimburse the Company) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of
Section 7.02 and Section 7.04, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with
respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to the Company or its designee. Any amount referred
to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i) or (iii) of the second preceding paragraph that is
payable to the Company or its designee shall not be paid to the Company (or, if it has been
previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by the Company) if at the time of
such payment an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but
shall be paid to and, subject to Section 5.06, held by the Loan Trustee as security for the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Participation Agreement, and at such time
as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default, such amount shall be
paid to the Company or its designee.

     (e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon renewal of the
Company’s insurance coverage, the Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity
Provider a report signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the
Company (which firm may be in the regular employ of the Company), stating the opinion of such firm
that the commercial hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report
shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan Trustee, each Liquidity Provider
and each of their affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will cause such firm to agree to advise the Loan Trustee
and each Liquidity Provider in writing of any act or omission on the part of the Company of which
such firm has knowledge that might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any
insurance on the Aircraft. The Company will also cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee and
each Liquidity Provider in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge
that an interruption of any insurance

[Reg. No.]

77

 

carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this
Section 7.06 will occur. Such information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance with
Section 10.16.

     (f) Salvage Rights. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each Engine shall remain
with the Company’s insurers at all times, and any insurance policies of the Loan
Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall provide for a release to the Company of any
and all salvage rights in and to the Airframe or any Engine.

     (g) Right to Pay Premium. In the event of cancellation of any insurance required to
be maintained hereunder due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Loan Trustee shall have the option,
in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect to the Aircraft that is due in respect
of the coverage pursuant to this Indenture and to maintain such coverage, as the Loan Trustee may
require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Company shall,
upon demand, reimburse the Loan Trustee for amounts so paid by it.

     (h) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit or prohibit
(i) the Company from maintaining the policies of insurance required pursuant to this
Section 7.06 with higher limits than those specified herein or (ii) the Loan Trustee or the
Company from obtaining insurance for its own account, and at its sole expense, with respect to the
Airframe or any Engine (and any proceeds payable under such insurance shall be payable as provided
in the insurance policy relating thereto); provided that no such insurance may be obtained
which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase
the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any
other insurance maintained by the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to the Aircraft or
any other aircraft in the Company’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) fleet.

SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES

     Section 8.01. Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The resignation
or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment of a successor Loan Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Loan Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section 8.01. The Loan Trustee or any successor thereto must resign if at any time it ceases to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at any time without
cause by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and each Noteholder. In

and be continuing) or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the
Company so long

as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing),
may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the
Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of
Noteholders, to the Company. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a
successor Loan Trustee shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of
resignation or removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a
successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Loan Trustee so appointed by
such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee
appointed as above provided.

     (b) Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the
predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the
obligations of the Loan Trustee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon
such successor Loan Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder in the trust
hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Loan Trustee herein; but
nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Loan Trustee, such predecessor Loan Trustee
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Trustee all the
estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Loan Trustee, and such predecessor Loan
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies
or other property and all other books and records, or true, correct and complete copies thereof,
then held by such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder.

     (c) This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however appointed, that is a
Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting trust) and a bank or trust company having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in
excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred,
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia and having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at
least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform
the duties of the Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such bank, trust
company or corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such
bank, trust company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any

79

 

time the Loan Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a).

     (d) Any corporation, bank, trust company or other financial institution into which the Loan
Trustee 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 Loan Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or other
financial institution to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Loan Trustee
may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee
under this Indenture without further act.

     Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) Whenever
(i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any law of
any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim
or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or
any of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan Trustee
shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or prudent in the interests of
the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so advise the Company) or (iii) the Loan
Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any
such case, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may from time to
time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more banks or trust
companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(c) and approved by the Loan
Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or
any part of the Collateral or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the
Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this
Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Loan
Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to
clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any
such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this
Section 8.02. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no additional or supplemental
trustee shall be appointed without the Company’s consent. If the Company shall not have taken any
action requested of it under this Section 8.02(a) that is required by its terms within 15 days of a
written request from the Loan Trustee to do so, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Loan Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a)
without the concurrence of the Company, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its
agent and

Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]

80

 

attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a).
The Loan Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental
indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such
additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from
the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate
trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case any
additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Loan Trustee until a
successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.02(a).

     (b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers,
duties and obligations conferred upon the Loan Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and
payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or
constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the Loan
Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or
performed by the Loan Trustee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent
that applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the
Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No
additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of
the Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the
Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and
the Loan Trustee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional
or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the
benefit of Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX and Article X hereof insofar
as they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed
pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not in any case exceed those of the Loan Trustee hereunder.

     (c) If at any time the Loan Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or desirable or in the
event that the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest
of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company,
shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to remove any additional or separate trustee. The Loan Trustee may act on
behalf of the Company under this Section 8.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act under

Section 8.02(a) hereof. In any case, the Company may remove an additional or separate trustee in
the manner set forth in Section 8.01.
