Dear Xxxxxx:
This will confirm the following agreement relating to the deferral of,
and payment of, your directors' fees and retainers in 1999:
1. All directors' fees and retainers (?Fees?) payable to you in
connection with your service on the boards of directors (including committees
of such boards) of AMR Corporation and American Airlines, Inc. for the period

accordance with the following:
2. Fees will be converted to Stock Equivalent Units in accordance with
the Directors' Stock Equivalent Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
3. Upon your retirement from the Board of Directors of AMR all the
Stock Equivalent Units will be converted to cash and paid to you by multiplying
the number of Stock Equivalent Units as of the date of your retirement by the
arithmetic mean of the high and low of AMR stock ("fair market value") during
the calendar month immediately preceding such retirement date. Such payment
will occur within 30 days of your retirement date.
4. AMR's obligation to make payments pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof
will not be released or modified by reason of your death. In such event, the
number of Stock Equivalent Units as of your date of death will be multiplied by

preceding your death, and the amount paid to the Trustees under your Revocable
