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.

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
16

[Reg. No.]
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 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.

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.

WTC, generally, and each of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent and each Pass Through Trustee of each Pass Through Trust in existence as of the Closing Date, insofar as relating to each such Person, agrees and acknowledges that each Liquidity Provider is a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01, and that such Liquidity Provider may rely on such representations and warranties to the same extent as if such representations and warranties were made to such Liquidity Provider directly.

To the Persons Listed on Schedule A
| Re: | Mortgage of [Aircraft Manufacturer] Model [ ] Aircraft with Manufacturer’s Serial Number [MSN] and U.S. Registration Number N[REG] |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special New York counsel to American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (the “Participation Agreement”), among the Company, as owner, and Wilmington Trust Company, as loan trustee under the Indenture (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Loan Trustee”), as subordination agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (in such capacity, the “Subordination Agent”), and as pass through trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreements (in such capacity, the “Pass Through Trustee”).
This letter is furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(g) of the Participation Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Indenture and Security Agreement, dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Loan Trustee.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specified fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure). We have examined, among other things, the following:
| a. | the Participation Agreement; |
| b. | the Indenture; |
[ ], 2016
Page 2
| c. | the Indenture and Security Agreement Supplement (N[ ]) No. 1, dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (the “Indenture Supplement”), between the Company and the Loan Trustee; |
| d. | the Equipment Notes (the “Equipment Notes”) in the form set forth in the Indenture; |
| e. | the Manufacturer’s Consent (as defined in the Indenture); |
| f. | the agreements listed in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Specified Agreements”); |
| g. | the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of [ ], 201[ ] and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company as certified by the Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (collectively, the “Company Governing Documents”) and certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company and a committee thereof; and |
| h. | a photocopy of the UCC-1 financing statement naming the Company as debtor and the Loan Trustee as secured party, together with all schedules and exhibits to such financing statement, to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Filing Office”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Delaware Financing Statement”). |
The documents described in subsections (a) – (d) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Operative Documents.” As used in this letter, the “NY UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as now in effect in the State of New York. As used in this letter, “Applicable UCC” shall mean the NY UCC and/or the Delaware UCC (as defined below), as applicable.
Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing, and upon oral and written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others, including the representations and warranties of the Company in the Operative Documents, and the translations of documents not originally in the English language. We have not independently verified such factual matters.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including any endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
We are opining as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of New York, in numbered paragraph 6 of this letter, the Delaware UCC (as defined below), and in numbered paragraphs 1, 2(i), 2(iii), 3 and 4 of this letter, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). We express no
[ ], 2016
Page 3
opinion with respect to the applicability to the opinions expressed herein, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. With your permission, we have based our opinions set forth in numbered paragraph 6 of this letter exclusively upon our review of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware as set forth in the webpage xxxx://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/ without regard to judicial interpretations thereof or any regulations promulgated thereunder or any other laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”).
Except as otherwise stated herein, our opinions herein are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers in secured financings. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of the legal or regulatory status of any parties to the Operative Documents or the legal or regulatory status of any of their affiliates. Various issues pertaining to regulatory matters with respect to the Company are addressed in the opinion of Pillsbury Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. We express no opinion as to the Federal Aviation Act (the “Act”) or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or, except as provided in numbered paragraph 7 below, the Cape Town Convention (as defined in the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the related Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment, as in effect in the United States; collectively, the “Convention”).
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:
| 1. | The Company is a corporation under the DGCL with corporate power and authority to enter into the Operative Documents and perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent, based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| 2. | The execution and delivery of the Participation Agreement, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Manufacturer’s Consent, the issuance of the Equipment Notes pursuant to the Indenture, as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement, and the payment of the indebtedness of the Company thereunder do not on the date hereof: |
| (i) | violate the provisions of the Company Governing Documents; |
| (ii) | result in the breach of or a default under any of the Specified Agreements; or |
[ ], 2016
Page 4
| (iii) | require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the DGCL except filings and recordings required in order to perfect or otherwise protect the security interests under the Indenture, as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement. |
| 3. | Each of the Operative Documents other than the Equipment Notes has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
| 4. | The Equipment Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, when executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. |
| 5. | The Indenture, as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement, creates a valid security interest in favor of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Equipment Note holders, Indenture Indemnitees and Related Indenture Indemnitees in that portion of the collateral described in the section entitled “Granting Clause” under the Indenture in which the Company has rights and a valid security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NY UCC (the “UCC Collateral”). |
| 6. | The Delaware Financing Statement is in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Filing Office. Upon the proper filing of the Delaware Financing Statement in the Delaware Filing Office, the security interest in favor of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Equipment Note holders, Indenture Indemnitees and Related Indenture Indemnitees in the Company’s rights in the UCC Collateral granted under the related Indenture and described in the Delaware Financing Statement will be perfected to the extent a security interest in such UCC Collateral can be perfected under the Delaware UCC by the filing of a financing statement in that office. |
| 7. | The Indenture, together with the Indenture Supplement, is effective to create an “international interest” in the Airframe (as defined in the Indenture and described in the Indenture Supplement, the “Airframe”) and the Engines (as defined in the Indenture and described in the Indenture Supplement, the “Engines”; the Airframe and the Engines, collectively, the “Aircraft”) that are properly described in the Indenture Supplement. |
| 8. | The Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to the UCC Collateral that consist of the Airframe and Engines that were first placed in service after October 22, 1994 and all |
[ ], 2016
Page 5
| records and logs maintained with respect to such Airframe and Engines that are required to be surrendered or returned by the Company in connection with the return or surrender of such Airframe and Engines, in each case, if the Company were to become a debtor in a case under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code. |
Except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 5 and 6, we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property. The opinions above do not include any opinions with respect to compliance with laws relating to permissible rates of interest.
Our opinions are subject to:
| a. | except with respect to numbered paragraph 8 above, the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; |
| b. | the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; |
| c. | the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and |
| d. | we express no opinion with respect to (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law (except for the validity under the laws of the State of New York, but subject to mandatory choice of law rules and constitutional limitations, of provisions in the Operative Documents which expressly choose New York as the governing law for such Operative Documents), jurisdiction (except for the validity under the laws of the State of New York, but subject to mandatory jurisdiction rules and constitutional limitations, of provisions in the Operative Documents which expressly provide for submission to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of New York state courts), venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (ii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (iii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iv) covenants not to compete; (v) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (vi) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vii) grants of setoff rights; (viii) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety, and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; |
[ ], 2016
Page 6
| (ix) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (x) proxies and powers of attorney; (xi) except as set forth in numbered paragraph 2(ii) of this letter, provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property; (xii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (xiii) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; (xiv) any provision of the Operative Documents to the extent that such provision refers to, incorporates or is based upon the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the United States; and (xv) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. |
We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws, tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, fiduciary duty requirements, federal aviation laws (including Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, “Transportation,” and any laws relating to the particular nature of the Aircraft other than, with respect to numbered paragraph 7 only, the Convention and, with respect to numbered paragraph 8 only, Section 1110 of the federal Bankruptcy Code) or regulations, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, margin regulations, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules, National Futures Association rules, or the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, export control, anti-money laundering, and anti-terrorism laws and regulations (without limiting other laws or rules excluded by customary practice).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the opinions expressed above are also subject to our assumption that any conditions to the effectiveness of the Operative Documents have been satisfied or waived.
Our opinions expressed herein with respect to the Operative Documents address only the express terms of such documents (excluding any provisions incorporating any document or agreement, or the provisions of any other document or agreement, that is not an Operative Document, by reference) and not any other document or agreement, or the provisions of such other document or agreement, incorporated therein or made a part thereof by reference.
The opinions set forth above are also subject to (i) the unenforceability of contractual provisions waiving or varying the rules listed in Section 9-602 of the Applicable UCC and, (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self-help or summary remedies without notice of or opportunity for hearing or correction.
Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Specified Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) we express no opinion with respect to a
[ ], 2016
Page 7
breach or default under any Specified Agreement that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency, and (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination.
Our opinion in numbered paragraph 5 above is limited to Article 9 of the NY UCC and our opinion in numbered paragraph 6 above is limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC and therefore those opinion paragraphs, among other things, do not address collateral of a type not subject to, or excluded from the coverage of, Article 9 of the NY UCC or Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, as applicable.
Additionally,
| (1) | We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest or lien. |
| (2) | We express no opinion with respect to the perfection of the security interest in any property, including, without limitation, the Airframe and Engines, subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a) of the Applicable UCC. |
| (3) | We express no opinion with respect to any agricultural lien or any collateral that consists of letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, goods covered by a certificate of title, claims against any government or governmental agency, consumer goods, crops growing or to be grown, timber to be cut, goods which are or are to become fixtures, as-extracted collateral or cooperative interests. |
| (4) | We assume the descriptions of collateral contained in, or attached as schedules to, the Indenture, as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement, and any Delaware Financing Statements accurately and sufficiently describe the collateral intended to be covered by such documents or such Delaware Financing Statements; provided, that we make no such assumption as to the sufficiency of any collateral described solely by a type of collateral defined in Article 9 of the Applicable UCC. |
| (5) | We have assumed that each grantor of any security interest has, or with respect to after-acquired property will have, rights in the collateral granted by it or the power to transfer rights in such collateral, and that each such grantor has received value, and express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any grantor’s rights in any of the collateral and we note that with respect to any after-acquired property, the security interest will not attach or be perfected until the applicable grantor acquires such rights or power. |
| (6) | We call to your attention the fact that a security interest in “proceeds” (as defined in the Applicable UCC) of collateral is governed and restricted by Section 9-315 of the Applicable UCC. |
[ ], 2016
Page 8
| (7) | We have assumed that the exact legal name of the Company is as set forth in the copy of the organizational documents certified by the Delaware Secretary of State, and we have also assumed the accuracy of the other factual information set forth on the Delaware Financing Statements. |
| (8) | We call to your attention that Section 552 of the federal Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case. |
| (9) | We express no opinion with respect to any goods which are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the Applicable UCC. |
| (10) | We express no opinion as to the security interest of the Loan Trustee in any UCC Collateral that is described by way of reference to any supplement to the Indenture other than the Indenture Supplement. |
| (11) | We call to your attention that a security interest or lien may not attach or become enforceable or be perfected as to contracts, licenses, permits, equity interests or other property that are not assignable under applicable law, or are subject to consent requirements or contractual or other prohibitions or restrictions on assignment, except to the extent that any such prohibitions, restrictions or consent requirements may be rendered ineffective to prevent the attachment of the security interest pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Applicable UCC; and we note that the extent of any security interest created in reliance on such provisions of the Applicable UCC may be limited. |
| (12) | We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Operative Document purporting to agree to the classification or type of any property for purposes of the Applicable UCC. |
| (13) | We express no opinion with respect to the security interest of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of any secured party except to the extent that the Loan Trustee has been duly appointed as agent for such persons. |
| (14) | We express no opinion as to any Airframes or Engines not described in the Indenture Supplement. |
Our opinion in numbered paragraph 7 above is limited to the Convention and is also subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications and limitations:
| (1) | The opinions given herein are based upon the English language version of the Convention as in effect on the date hereof in the United States. The Convention came into force on March 1, 2006. As at the date hereof, there is no applicable |
[ ], 2016
Page 9
| judicial precedent in the United States known to us concerning the Convention. In rendering any opinion on the Convention, we are basing our opinions on our reading of the Convention as in effect on the date hereof in the United States, without the benefit of judicial precedent or customary practices and procedures. We note that other jurisdictions signatory to the Convention may have made declarations as to the effectiveness of certain provisions that are different than the declarations as to such provisions made by the United States and this opinion is limited to the Convention as in effect in the United States. |
| (2) | We have further assumed that the Airframe and Engines constituting the Aircraft are correctly identified and described by manufacturer’s serial number, name of manufacturer and model designation for purposes of the registrations under the Convention. |
| (3) | We have assumed that at the time the Indenture (together with the Indenture Supplement with respect to the Aircraft) was executed, for purposes of Article 3 of the Convention, the Company was “situated” in the United States. |
| (4) | We have assumed that for purposes of Article 7 of the Convention, the Company has the “power to dispose” of the Airframe and the Engines comprising the Aircraft. |
| (5) | Except as expressly stated in the opinions above, no opinion is rendered herein as to the registration, validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the “international interest” created by the Indenture (together with the Indenture Supplement with respect to the Aircraft) with respect to the Aircraft or as to recognition of the perfection of such interests as against third parties in any legal proceeding outside the United States. |
| (6) | We have assumed that the Airframe and the Engines constitute “Aircraft Objects” within the meaning of the Convention and are not used in military, customs or police services. |
| (7) | We have assumed that the Indenture (together with the Indenture Supplement with respect to the Aircraft) enables the obligations secured by the collateral described in the Indenture (together with the Indenture Supplement with respect to the Aircraft) to be identified within the meaning of the Convention. |
With your consent, except to the extent that we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company herein, we have assumed that, (a) the Operative Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) the Operative Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, (c) the Airframe is an “aircraft” as defined in Section 40102 of the Act and that the Engines are “aircraft engines” as defined in Section 40102 of the Act, (d) the Company is an “air carrier” within the meaning of Title 49 operating under a certificate issued pursuant to Chapter 447 of the
[ ], 2016
Page 10
Act for aircraft capable of carrying 10 or more individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo, is a “citizen of the United States” as such term is defined in Section 40102 of the Act and holds all authority, necessary licenses and certificates under the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary for the conduct of its business and to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party and (e) the status of the Operative Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.
This letter is furnished only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph of this letter. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person, firm or entity for any purpose, without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion. In addition, we hereby consent to your furnishing a copy of this letter: (i) to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over any person permitted to rely on this letter, (ii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party, and (iii) as required by any order of, or in connection with any proceeding of, any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that no such person shall be entitled to rely on this letter.

on Schedule A Hereto
| Re: | American Airlines, Inc.—Financing of One [Airbus] [Boeing] |
| [Embraer] Model [ ] Aircraft Bearing Manufacturer’s |
| Serial Number [ ] |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company (“WTC”), in connection with the Indenture and Security Agreement ([ ]), dated as of [ ], 201[_] (the “Indenture”), among WTC as Loan Trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), and American Airlines, Inc. (the “Owner”). Pursuant to the Participation Agreement ([ ]), dated as of [ ], 201[_] (the “Participation Agreement”), among the Owner and WTC, in its individual capacity as set forth therein, as Loan Trustee, as Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Participation Agreement) and as Pass Through Trustee (as defined in the Participation Agreement), financing is being provided for one [Airbus] [Boeing] [Embraer] Model [ ] aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number [ ]. This opinion is furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(h) of the Participation Agreement.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Indenture, except that reference herein to any document shall mean such document as in effect on the date hereof.
We have examined originals or copies of the following documents:
| (a) | The Indenture and the initial Indenture Supplement; |
| (b) | The Participation Agreement (the documents referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above being collectively referred to as the “Loan Trustee Documents”); and |
| (c) | The Equipment Notes being issued today and authenticated by the Loan Trustee (the “Equipment Notes”). |
We have also examined originals or copies of such other documents and such corporate records, certificates and other statements of governmental officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the corporations or entities referred to herein as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Moreover, as to certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon representations and warranties contained in the documents referred to in this paragraph.
To Each of the Parties Listed
on Schedule A Hereto
[ ], 201[ ]
Page 2
Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:
1. WTC has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing as a trust company under the laws of the State of Delaware, is a “citizen of the United States” within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended, and has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Trustee Documents and to authenticate the Equipment Notes.
2. The Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Loan Trustee Document to which it is a party, and each such document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, enforceable against the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent, Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is a party, the authentication by the Loan Trustee of the Equipment Notes and the consummation by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of any of the transactions contemplated thereby are not in violation of the charter or by-laws of WTC, of any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC or, to our knowledge, any indenture, mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which WTC is a party or by which it is bound or, to our knowledge, any judgment or order applicable to WTC.
4. None of the execution and delivery by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is a party, the authentication of the Equipment Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions by the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC or under any Delaware law.
5. No taxes, fees or other charges (other than taxes payable by WTC on or measured by any compensation received by WTC for its services as Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee) are required to be paid by the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or the Loan Trustee or the trust created by the Indenture under the laws of the State of Delaware, or any political subdivision thereof, in connection with the execution, delivery
To Each of the Parties Listed
on Schedule A Hereto
[ ], 201[ ]
Page 3
or performance of the Loan Trustee Documents to which the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent or the Pass Through Trustee is party and the Equipment Notes, which taxes, fees or other charges would not be required to be paid if WTC were not a Delaware trust company and did not perform its obligations as Loan Trustee under the Indenture in the State of Delaware.
6. The Equipment Notes have been duly and validly authenticated by the Loan Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.
7. To our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC in any court or before any governmental authority, agency, arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the property included in the Collateral or the right, power and authority of the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations under the Loan Trustee Documents to which it is party.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:
A. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware and we do not hold ourselves out as being experts on the law of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (and its political subdivisions to the extent set forth in paragraph 5 above and the federal laws of the United States of America governing the trust powers of WTC, except that we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) Part A of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended (except with respect to the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above concerning the citizenship of WTC), (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (iv) state securities or blue sky laws, or (v) laws, rules and regulations applicable to the particular nature of the equipment acquired by the Owner. Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity and enforceability of the Loan Trustee Documents expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have assumed that each such document is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).
B. The foregoing opinions regarding enforceability are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).
C. We have assumed that each of the parties to the Loan Trustee Documents and the Equipment Notes (except the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be) has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform each such document and that each such document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such party.

D. We have assumed that all signatures (other than signatures of officers of WTC) on documents examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.
E. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
F. No opinion is expressed as to the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any mortgage or security interests or as to the nature or validity of title to any part of the property included in the Collateral.
G. The opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above concerning the citizenship of WTC is based upon an affidavit of WTC made by one of its Vice Presidents, the facts set forth in which we have not independently verified.
H. In basing the opinions set forth herein on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that no information has come to the attention of the attorneys in the firm who are directly involved in the representation of WTC in this transaction that would give us actual knowledge that any such opinions are not accurate. Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters.
This opinion may be relied upon by you in connection with the matters set forth herein. This opinion may also be relied upon by any transferee of a Noteholder, subject to the understanding that the opinions expressed herein are rendered as of the date hereof and only with respect to the laws, rules and regulations in effect as of such date. Otherwise, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose.

FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL FAA COUNSEL
[Attached.]
Participation Agreement
(American Airlines 2016-3 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
, 20__
To the Parties Named on
Schedule 1 attached hereto
| RE: | One (1) model (shown on the IR as ) aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number and U.S. Registration No. N (the “Airframe”) and two (2) model (shown on the IR as ) aircraft engines bearing manufacturer’s serial numbers and (the “Engines”) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Acting as special legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the instruments described below, this opinion is furnished to you with respect to (i) the registration of interests with the International Registry (the “IR”) created pursuant to, and according to the provisions of, the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (the “Convention”), the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (the “Protocol”), both signed in Cape Town, South Africa on November 16, 2001, together with the Regulations for the International Registry (the “Regulations”), the International Registry Procedures (the “Procedures”), and all other rules, amendments, supplements, and revisions thereto (collectively, the “CTT”), all as in effect on this date in the United States of America, as a Contracting State, and (ii) the recordation of instruments and the registration of airframes with the Federal Aviation Civil Aircraft Registry (the “FAA”) under the requirements of Title 49 of the United States Code (the “Transportation Code”).
Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the CTT.
On , 20 at .M., C._.T., we examined and filed with the FAA the Indenture and Security Agreement (N ) dated as of between American Airlines, Inc. (the “Owner”) and Wilmington Trust Company as loan trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), with Indenture Supplement (N ) No. 1 dated between the Owner and the Loan Trustee attached thereto, covering the Airframe and the Engines (collectively, the “Indenture”).
The interest created by the Indenture is referred to herein as the “CTT Security Interest”.
Based upon our examination of the foregoing instruments and such records of the FAA and the IR as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, it is our opinion that:
| 1. | the Airframe and the Engines constitute Aircraft Objects based upon the Cape Town Eligible Aircraft list and the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheets compiled by the FAA; |
| 2. | the Indenture is in due form for recordation by, and has been duly filed for recordation with, the FAA pursuant to and in accordance with the Transportation Code; |
| 3. | the Airframe is registered in the name of the Owner, pursuant to and in accordance with the Transportation Code; |
| 4. | the owner of the Airframe for registration purposes at the FAA is the Owner and the Airframe and the Engines are free and clear of liens and encumbrances of record at the FAA except as created by the Indenture; |
| 5. | the Indenture creates a duly perfected first priority security interest, in favor of the Loan Trustee, pursuant to the Transportation Code, in the Airframe and the Engines, it being understood that no opinion is rendered herein as to the validity, priority or enforceability of such security interest under applicable local or foreign law, or as to recognition of the perfection of the security interest as against third parties in any legal proceeding outside the United States; |
| 6. | based upon the Priority Search Certificates obtained from the IR, copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 2 and incorporated herein by reference: |
| (a) | the Airframe and the Engines are subject only to the CTT Security Interest; and |
| (b) | the CTT Security Interest has been duly registered on the IR and constitutes a first priority International Interest in the Airframe and the Engines; |
| 7. | the CTT Security Interest is entitled to the priorities, protections and benefits of the CTT, subject to the statements on Exhibit A attached hereto; |
| 8. | no further registration on the IR of the CTT Security Interest is required under the CTT in order to maintain the effectiveness and priority thereof and no other registration of the Airframe or filings other than filings with the FAA (which have been duly effected) are necessary in order to: |
| (a) | maintain the registration of the Airframe in the name of the Owner, subject to compliance with the provisions of Title 14, Section 47.40 of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to re-registration and renewal of the registration of the Airframe; and |
| (b) | maintain the lien and priority of the Indenture, with respect to the Airframe and the Engines; and |
| 9. | no authorization, approval, consent, license or order of, or registration with, or the giving of notice to, the FAA is required for the valid authorization, delivery and performance of the Indenture, except for such filings as are referred to above. |
In the event the CTT Security Interest is not subject to the CTT, then the interests created thereby are governed by the Transportation Code or applicable law.
This opinion is subject to certain comments, limitations and assumptions as listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
| Very truly yours, |
|

Assumptions and Limitations
In rendering the foregoing opinion we have assumed that:
| (i) | the records maintained by the FAA are accurate in all respects; |
| (ii) | the Priority Search Certificates are accurate in all respects, contain all the registered information and data on the IR in connection with the Airframe and the Engines to which they relate, and have not been altered since the date of such Priority Search Certificates; |
| (iii) | there have been no registrations made on the IR against the Airframe and the Engines using descriptions which vary from the IR descriptions shown above for the Airframe and the Engines and, for the purposes of this opinion, only the models and serial numbers contained in the IR descriptions of the Airframe and the Engines shown above were utilized for the IR searches; |
| (iv) | the IR descriptions of the Airframe and the Engines are as noted above and are accurate and complete descriptions with respect to the registrations on the IR; |
| (v) | at the time the Indenture was concluded, the Debtor was situated, pursuant to the CTT, in the United States; |
| (vi) | the necessary parties under the Indenture have given the consents in writing to the registration with the IR of the interests in the Airframe and the Engines created thereby; |
| (vii) | the CTT Security Interest is effective under applicable local law to constitute an interest, a sale, an assignment or a discharge which is subject to the CTT and registration on the IR; |
| (viii) | all of the registrations indicated on the Priority Search Certificates are fully and properly constituted and validly created under the CTT; |
| (ix) | all documents identified in this opinion, all documents in the records maintained by the FAA for the Airframe and the Engines, as well as any registrations on the IR pertaining to the Airframe and the Engines, are valid, enforceable and sufficient under the relevant applicable law or the CTT to create, effect or terminate the rights and interests they purport to create, effect or terminate; |
| (x) | in rendering this opinion, we have assumed that: |
| (a) | the Company qualifies as a “citizen of the United States” as defined in the Transportation Code; |
| (b) | the instruments described above are valid and enforceable under applicable local law; and |
| (c) | there are no documents with respect to the Airframe or the Engines which have been filed for recordation with the FAA under the FAA’s recording system but which have not yet been listed in the available records of such system as having been so filed; |
| (xi) | there has been no subordination or variation of any priority that would be acquired pursuant to the terms of the CTT, in connection with the registrations on the IR evidenced by the Priority Search Certificates other than pursuant to any subordination indicated on the Priority Search Certificates; |
| (xii) | the Airframe is not registered under the civil aircraft registry of any other country; |
| (xiii) | the Cape Town Eligible Aircraft list and the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheets compiled by the FAA, insofar as it relates to the Airframe and the Engines, is accurate in all respects; |
| (xiv) | the Airframe and the Engines have been accurately described by manufacturer’s name, model and serial number by the parties in the instruments described above; and |
| (xv) | the United States Contracting State search certificate description of declarations, withdrawals of declarations and categories of non-consensual rights or interests, as communicated to the Registrar by UNIDROIT as the Depositary as having been declared by the United States, and the date on which each such declaration or withdrawal of declaration is recorded, are accurate in all respects. |
In addition, our opinion is subject to the following limitations:
| (i) | a search on the IR pursuant to the CTT requires that the searching party enter the exact manufacturer, model or serial number of an airframe or engine being searched using the appropriate drop down boxes, where available, and if a registration has been made on the IR against the Airframe or the Engines which describes the Airframe or the Engines differently (i.e. any space, comma, dash, added number or character, missing number or character, or any other discrepancy whatsoever in the description of the manufacturer, model or |
| serial number) the Priority Search Certificates will produce an inaccurate search result; accordingly, there may be registrations on the IR against the Airframe and the Engines which are not reflected on the Priority Search Certificates and which may have priority over subsequent registrations on the IR or filings with the FAA; |
| (ii) | the opinion relating to the registration of the Airframe with the FAA is issued only as to its current eligibility for registration and not with respect to events which may occur in the future which may affect the continued eligibility for registration; |
| (iii) | as to matters of United States Citizenship as defined in the Transportation Code, the undersigned has relied upon representations made in the Aircraft Registration Application already on file with the FAA; |
| (iv) | because the FAA does not maintain registration records for engines for nationality purposes, we cannot independently verify the owner, make, model, or serial numbers of the Engines; |
| (v) | in rendering this opinion, we are subject to the accuracy of the FAA, its employees and agents in the filing, indexing, cross-referencing, imaging and recording of instruments filed with the FAA; |
| (vi) | no opinion is expressed herein as to laws other than the CTT and the Transportation Code; |
| (vii) | this opinion as to the status of the records of the FAA as to the Airframe covers only that period of time during which the Airframe has been subject to United States Registration; |
| (viii) | the Indenture was filed with the FAA with certain information intentionally omitted from the FAA filing counterpart as containing confidential or proprietary information and we have relied upon the opinion of Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Deputy Chief Counsel of the FAA issued September 16, 1994 (Federal Register/Volume 59, Number 182/September 21, 1994) and the current practices of the FAA with respect to the eligibility of the Indenture for recordation with the confidential omissions; and |
| (ix) | since our examination was limited to records maintained by the FAA and the IR, our opinion: |
| (a) | in respect of rights derived from FAA filings, does not cover liens, claims or encumbrances of which the parties have actual notice as contemplated by 49 U.S.C. ‘44108(a); |
| (b) | in respect of rights derived from FAA filings or registrations with the IR, does not cover liens, claims or encumbrances which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA or the IR, including without limitation, federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of the United States Code, liens arising under 49 U.S.C. ‘46304 and certain artisan’s liens; |
| (c) | does not cover liens perfected in foreign jurisdictions, except to the extent applicable law would regulate their priority based on registration with the IR; and |
| (d) | does not cover any rights to arrest or detain an airframe or an engine under any applicable law. |

The Manufacturer hereby acknowledges notice of and consents to the assignment (the “Warranty Assignment”) by American to Wilmington Trust Company, as Loan Trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), for the security and benefit of the Loan Trustee, the other Indenture Indemnitees, the Related Indenture Indemnitees and the Noteholders, under that certain Indenture and Security Agreement ([Reg.

The Manufacturer hereby confirms that:
(i) all obligations of the Manufacturer contained in the Warranty Rights, together with all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of American under the same with respect to such warranties or indemnities, shall, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, inure to the benefit of the Loan Trustee under the Indenture to the extent provided therein to the same extent as if the Loan Trustee had originally been named the “Customer” in the Product Assurance Document; and
(ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Trustee shall not be liable, by virtue of the Warranty Assignment, for any of the obligations or duties of the Customer under the Purchase Agreement, nor shall the Warranty Assignment give rise to any duties or obligations whatsoever on the part of the Loan Trustee owing to the Manufacturer or to make any payment or to make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim or to take any other action to collect or enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.
Anything contained herein, in the Indenture or in any other document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Manufacturer’s consent and agreements hereunder are expressly conditioned on the following: (i) American shall at all times remain liable to the Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations

| 1) | Embraer, subject to the conditions and limitations set out below, warrants each Aircraft as follows: |
For a period of thirty six (36) months from the Actual Delivery Date of such Aircraft, the Aircraft will be free from:
| • | defects in materials, workmanship and manufacturing processes in relation to parts manufactured by Embraer or by its subcontractors holding an Embraer part number; |
| • | defects inherent in the design of the Aircraft and its parts designed or manufactured by Embraer or by its subcontractors holding an Embraer part number; |
| • | defects in operation of parts manufactured by Vendors excluding the Engines, Auxiliary Power Unit (“APU”) and their accessories (“Vendor Parts”) as well as failures of Vendor Parts due to incorrect installation or installation not complying with the instructions issued or approved by their respective Vendors. For the purpose of this warranty, “Engine” shall mean the complete power plant system which comprises the engine, the nacelle including thrust reverser, the engine mounting structure, all systems inside the nacelle and their integration with the Aircraft, and the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) unit. |
| • | defects due to non-conformity of Vendor Parts to the technical specification referred to in the Purchase Agreement. |
Once the above-mentioned periods have expired, Embraer will transfer to Buyer the original warranties issued by the Vendors, if they still subsist.
| 2) | The obligations of Embraer as expressed in this Warranty are limited to replacing or repairing defective parts, depending solely upon its own judgment. The defective parts shall be returned to Embraer or its representatives, adequately packed, within a period of sixty (60) Days after the discovery of the defect, at Buyer’s own expense (including but not limited to, freight, insurance, customs duties) provided that such components are actually defective and that the defect has occurred within the periods stipulated in this certificate. Should the defective part not be returned to Embraer within such sixty (60) Day period, Embraer may have the right, at its sole discretion, to deny the warranty claim. |
NOTE: Notification of any defect claimed under this item 2 must be given to Embraer within thirty (30) Days after such defect is found.
Freight, insurance, taxes, customs duties and other costs incurred by Embraer or its representative for the return of the part to Buyer, as well as the associated costs (including labor costs) of removal of the defective part, re-installation of the replacement or repaired part, inspection and adjustments are Buyer’s responsibility.
Manufacturer’s Consent and Agreement (MSN [ ])
Parts supplied to Buyer as replacements for defective parts are warranted for the balance of the warranty period still available from the original warranty of the exchanged parts.
| 3) | Embraer will accept no warranty claims under any of the circumstances listed below: |
| a. | when the Aircraft has been used in an attempt to break records, or subjected to experimental flights or used in any other way not in conformity with the flight manual or the airworthiness certificate, or subjected to any manner of use in contravention of the applicable aerial navigation or other regulations and rules, issued or recommended by government authorities of whatever country in which the aircraft is operated, if such regulations and rules have been accepted and recommended by I.C.A.O.; |
| b. | when the Aircraft or any of its parts has been altered or modified by Buyer, without prior approval from Embraer or from the manufacturer of the parts through a service bulletin; |
| c. | whenever the Aircraft or any of its parts has been involved in an accident, or when parts which are either defective or do not comply with the manufacturer’s design or specification have been used; |
| d. | whenever parts have had their identification marks, designation, seal or serial number altered or removed; |
| e. | in the event of negligence misuse or as a result of maintenance services done on the Aircraft or any of its parts in a manner which is not in accordance with the respective maintenance manual; or |
| f. | in cases of deterioration, wear, breakage, damage or any other defect in each case resulting from the use of inadequate packing methods when returning items to Embraer or its representatives. |
| 4) | This Warranty does not apply to (a) Buyer-furnished equipment (BFE) or Buyer-installed equipment (BIE), (b) expendable items, whose service life or maintenance cycle is less than the warranty period, and (c) materials or parts which have been improperly stored by Buyer. |
| 5) | The Warranty hereby expressed is established between Embraer and Buyer, and it cannot be transferred, assigned or novated to any third party, except as provided otherwise pursuant to Article 14 (Assignment) of the Purchase Agreement. |
| 6) | TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EMBRAER AND REMEDIES OF BUYER SET FORTH IN THIS ATTACHMENT “C” ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN SUBSTITUTION FOR, AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND RENOUNCES, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EMBRAER AND ANY ASSIGNEE OF |
Manufacturer’s Consent and Agreement (MSN [ ])
| EMBRAER AND ALL OTHER RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND REMEDIES OF BUYER AGAINST EMBRAER OR ANY ASSIGNEE OF EMBRAER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY NON-CONFORMITY OR DEFECT OR FAILURE OR ANY OTHER REASON IN ANY AIRCRAFT OR OTHER THING DELIVERED UNDER THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OF WHICH THIS IS AN ATTACHMENT, INCLUDING DATA, DOCUMENTS, INFORMATION OR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: |
| a. | ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS; |
| b. | ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE; |
| c. | ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER RELATED CAUSES OF EMBRAER OR ANY ASSIGNEE OF EMBRAER, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED; AND |
| d. | ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO ANY AIRCRAFT, FOR LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT WITH RESPECT TO ANY AIRCRAFT OR FOR ANY OTHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. |
No representative or employee of Embraer is authorized to establish any warranty other than the Warranty set out herein, nor to assume any additional obligation relative to the matter in the name of Embraer and therefore any such statements made in the name of Embraer, shall be void and without effect.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have been requested by American Airlines, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), to act as U.S. Department of Transportation (“Department of Transportation”) and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulatory counsel with respect to, and to render this opinion letter in connection with, the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement ([●]) dated as of [●], 201[●] (the “Participation Agreement”), among the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company (“WTC”), in its individual capacity as set forth therein and in its capacity as Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement and as Pass Through Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreements. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given those terms in the Participation Agreement. This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(ii) of the Participation Agreement.
We have examined such public records and certificates and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below. We have not examined or reviewed, and express no opinion as to, any of the documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Company or any other party to the transaction, or related documents.
In preparing this opinion letter, we have relied without any independent verification upon information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities and factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable. We have assumed without investigation that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this opinion letter and that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.
Parties Listed on the Attached Schedule A

In our examination, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation: (i) that United States citizens, as defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15), own or control at least seventy-five percent of the voting interest of the Company, that the president and at least two-thirds of the board of directors and other managing officers of the Company are citizens of the United States, and that the Company is under the actual control of citizens of the United States; (ii) that the Company has in effect insurance coverage as required under 14 C.F.R. 205; and (iii) that the Company has not undergone any substantial changes in ownership, management or operations without complying with the notification requirements of the Department of Transportation and the FAA.
We have made such examination of federal laws of the United States as we deemed relevant for purposes of this opinion letter, but have made no review of, and express no opinion concerning, the laws of any other state or jurisdiction other than the United States. We have assumed that all relevant federal statutes, rules and regulations are valid and constitutional.
The terms “known to us” and “knowledge” and “aware”, whenever such terms are used in this opinion letter with respect to our firm, mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof by the Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP lawyers who have had significant involvement with the representation of the Company.
Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations identified in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:
| 1. | The Company is a citizen of the United States, as that term is defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15). |
| 2. | The Company possesses a valid air carrier operating certificate issued by the FAA pursuant to Chapter 447, Title 49 of the United States Code, permitting the Company to operate as an “air carrier”, as that term is defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(2), utilizing aircraft capable of carrying ten (10) or more persons or six thousand (6,000) pounds or more of cargo or mail and holds all authority, necessary licenses and certificates under Chapter 447, Title 49 of the United States Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary for the conduct of its business as an “air carrier”. |
The opinion in paragraph two with respect to the validity of the air carrier operating certificate (the “Certificate”) of the Company is based solely on our review of the Certificate, which is available publicly from the FAA. We have no actual knowledge of any threatened or pending investigation or proceeding that might result in revocation of the Certificate.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the insurance, securities and blue sky laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws (including federal bankruptcy law) and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect.
Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Financing Statement is in an appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (Uniform Commercial Code Section) (the “Division”).
2. To the extent that Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement with the Division, the Loan Trustee will have a perfected security interest in the Company’s rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) described in the Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds thereof (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC).
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions:
A. We have assumed that the Company has sufficient rights in the Collateral and has received sufficient value and consideration in connection with the security interest granted under such Indenture for the security interest of the Loan Trustee to attach, and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the Company’s rights in, or title to, any portion of the Collateral.
B. We note that the Indenture is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Accordingly, we have assumed that the security interests in the collateral identified in the Indenture and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof have been duly created and have attached (as to which we express no opinion).
C. The opinions set forth above are limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore such opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware, and of the State of Delaware except for Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, or (iii) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the Delaware UCC, which law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion.

on Schedule A Attached Hereto

D. We note that further filings under the Delaware UCC may be necessary to preserve and maintain (to the extent established and perfected by the filing of the Financing Statement as described herein) the security interests of the Loan Trustee in the Filing Collateral, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) appropriate continuation filings to be made within the period of six months prior to the expiration of five year anniversary dates from the date of the original filing of the Financing Statement;
(ii) filings required with respect to proceeds of collateral under Section 9-315(d) of the Delaware UCC;
(iii) filings required within four months of the change of name, identity or structure made by or with respect to the Company, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-507 and 9-508 of the Delaware UCC;
(iv) filings required within four months of a change by the Company of its location to another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-301 and 9-316 of the Delaware UCC; and
(v) filings required within one year after the transfer of collateral to a Person that becomes a debtor and is located in another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Section 9-316 of the Delaware UCC.
E. Further, we note that the effectiveness of the Financing Statement may terminate and additional filings may be required if the secured party changes its name or the address of the secured party as shown on the Financing Statement ceases to be an address from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, unless a new appropriate financing statement or amendment indicating the new name or address of the secured party from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, is properly filed upon the effectiveness of such change in name or address.
F. We do not express any opinion as to the perfection or priority of any security interest in any portion of the Filing Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Division. In addition, no opinion is expressed herein concerning (i) any collateral other than the Filing Collateral and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof, (ii) any portion of the Filing Collateral that constitutes a “commercial tort claim” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(13) of the Delaware UCC), (iii) any consumer transaction, or (iv) any security interest in goods covered by a certificate of title statute. Further, we do not express any opinion as to the perfection or priority of any security interest in proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware
To Each of the Persons Listed

UCC) of the Filing Collateral, except to the extent that such proceeds consist of cash proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(9) of the Delaware UCC) that are identifiable cash proceeds (as contemplated by Section 9-315(b) and (d) of the Delaware UCC), subject, however, to the limitations of Section 9-315 of the Delaware UCC.
G. We do not express any opinion as to the priority of any security interest.
H. We call to your attention that under the Delaware UCC, actions taken by a secured party (e.g., releasing or assigning the security interest, delivering possession of the collateral to the debtor or another person and voluntarily subordinating a security interest) may affect the validity, perfection or priority of a security interest.
I. The opinions expressed in paragraph 2 above are subject to the effect of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance and transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).
We understand that you will rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Indenture. In addition, your successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any trustee in connection with a securitization) and any rating agency may rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the matters set forth herein, subject to the understanding that the opinions rendered herein are given on the date hereof and such opinions are rendered only with respect to facts existing on the date hereof and laws, rules and regulations currently in effect. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to your and your successors’ and assigns’ (including, without limitation, any trustee in connection with a securitization) and any such rating agency’s relying as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion. Except as stated above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any purpose.
Very truly yours,

[Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but without in any way releasing the Company from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase Agreement), the Noteholders, the Loan Trustee, the other Indenture Indemnitees and the Related Indenture Indemnitees confirm for the benefit of the Manufacturer that in exercising any rights under the Warranty Rights, or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or other goods and services delivered or to be delivered 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.]6
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 Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to 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.

different designation such as, for example, “Series B” and “Series C”) and (b) the maturities and original principal amounts and shall bear interest at the applicable Debt Rates specified in Schedule I hereto (as, in the case of any Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such Schedule I may be amended in connection with such issuance). On the date of original issuance thereof, each Series AA Equipment Note, Series A Equipment Note and Additional Series Equipment Note (if issued) shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of each of the Pass Through Trustees for the applicable Pass Through Trust created under the Pass Through Trust Agreements referred to in Schedule II. 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 Additional Series Equipment Notes at any time and from time to time. In addition, if all of the Series A Equipment Notes or any Series of Additional Equipment Notes (in each case, whether issued on or after the Closing Date) shall have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or repaid in full, 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 A Equipment Notes or Additional Series Equipment Notes with the same Series designation as, but with terms that may be the same as or different from those of, the redeemed or repaid Series A Equipment Notes or Additional Series Equipment Notes. Without limitation of the foregoing, new Series A Equipment Notes and, 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 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 AA Equipment Note, each Series A Equipment Note and each Additional Series Equipment Note (if issued) 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 Equipment Notes issued after the Closing Date, such

[Reg. No.]
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. Each Additional Series Equipment Note, if issued, shall be payable in installments or in a single payment as set forth in an amendment to this Indenture, and if payable in installments, such installments shall be calculated as set forth in the preceding sentence. 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 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.

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

Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral.

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 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 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 3.07. Securities Account. In furtherance of the provisions of Section 3.03, WTC agrees to act as an Eligible Institution under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”). Except in its capacity as Loan Trustee, WTC 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”

[Reg. No.]
(as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible Account, (ii) all such amounts, Permitted Investments and all other property acquired with cash 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 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, WTC will promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Company thereof.

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,
39

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 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
40
Indenture and Security Agreement

[Reg. No.]
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
41
Indenture and Security Agreement
(American Airlines 2016-3 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
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.

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;

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.

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.

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, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own expense, 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, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) 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, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, 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 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
59
Indenture and Security Agreement
(American Airlines 2016-3 Aircraft EETC)
[Reg. No.]
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, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) 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, except for (i) immaterial and non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are being taken promptly by Company or a Permitted Lessee and (ii) any law, rule, regulation or order the validity or application of which is being contested in good faith by the Company or any Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee’s interest in the Aircraft, does not impair the Loan Trustee’s security interest or International Interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own expense to, 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 or such Permitted Lessee 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 or such Permitted Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine. For the avoidance of doubt, Company may make alterations in the passenger configuration of the Aircraft and such alterations shall not be subject to the immediately preceding sentence. 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 or any
60

[Reg. No.]
Permitted Lessee may, at any time, remove any Part from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is in 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 such Permitted Lessee 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. Parts of the type permitted to be removed by this Section 7.04(c) may be leased from or financed by third parties other than the Loan Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Company may, at any time, install or permit to be installed in the Aircraft Passenger Convenience Equipment owned by Company or any Permitted Lessee or by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to Company in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to a conditional sale contract, a license or otherwise), and Company may remove (and not replace) or permit to be removed (and not replaced) the same, and Loan Trustee shall not acquire a Lien thereon by virtue of such installation or otherwise, and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under this Indenture, it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that in no event shall the installation of any such Passenger Convenience Equipment impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Loan Trustee hereunder and under applicable law.
(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

(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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
