Dear
Xxxxxxx:
This will confirm the following
agreement relating to the deferral of your director’s fees in 2008.
1. All
director’s fees and retainers (“Fees”) payable to you in connection
with your service on the boards of directors (including committees of such
boards) of AMR Corporation and American Airlines, Inc. from the date of this
letter through December 31, 2008 will be deferred and paid to you in accordance
with this letter agreement.
2. Fees
will be converted to Stock Equivalent Units in accordance with the Directors'
Stock Equivalent Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Plan").
3. On
the 30th business day after the date when you cease to be a Director of AMR
Corporation and any affiliates, and cease rendering services, the Stock
Equivalent Units accrued in 2008 pursuant to the Plan will be converted to cash
and paid to you in a lump sum by multiplying the number of such Stock Equivalent
Units by the arithmetic mean of the high and the low of AMR stock (“fair market
value”) during the month when you ceased to be a Director of AMR Corporation and
any affiliates, and cease rendering services. Payment cannot be
accelerated.
4. In
the event of your death, the number of Stock Equivalent Units as of your date of
death will be multiplied by the fair market value of AMR stock during the
calendar month immediately preceding your death, and the amount paid to Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx Revocable Trust. The payment contemplated by this paragraph
4 will be made on the 30th
business day following the date of your death.
If the
foregoing is satisfactory to you, please indicate by signing one of the
originals (two are enclosed) and returning it to me.
Very
truly yours,
