substantially the form of Annex V, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class A Cash
Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.05(f) and Section 3.05(k) of the Intercreditor
Agreement).
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made by notice in writing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in
substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may
be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business
Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such
requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance
with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available
funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or before 12:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of
Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
9
precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such requested Borrowing, the Liquidity
Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the
amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing
or on such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of
proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
Borrower in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time
to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable
and binding on the Borrower. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy
thereof to the Liquidity Provider at the address and in the manner specified in Section 7.02
hereof.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance
with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its
obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of
Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Class A Trustee or any Class A
Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of
payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred
hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to
fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or
rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time
on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not
affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated
by Section 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds
of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the
correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set
forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic
Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of
a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Maximum Commitment shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum
Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and American within two Business Days thereof. The failure by
the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance, Special Termination Advance
or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
10
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically
and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing
hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand
are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a)
on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special
Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such
Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”), plus (b) interest on the
amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in
Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at
any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance
with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or
Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum
Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances
and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied
Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b));
provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance
withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class
A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the portion of
the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any such withdrawal, but not in
excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, being an “Applied Special Termination
Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under
this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable
thereon; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination
Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section
6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that is an Applied Special
Termination Advance) shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and,
provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(b), any Unapplied
Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon
and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower and the
Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance, Special Termination
Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of
doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance
shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07.

Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in
respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account and
invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.05(c),
3.05(d), 3.05(e) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing
on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the
principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section
3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn
from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any
such withdrawal being (y), in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and
(z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and together with an
Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section
2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further,
however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Provider Advance
shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account
of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion
of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the
principal amount so repaid as provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance (or
any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account of any
amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount
being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof
up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Applied Provider Advances and Applied Special Termination Advances (and of Provider Advances and
Special Termination Advances treated as Interest Advances for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment
Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.05(f) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account
after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be
reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in
full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In
order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the
Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
12
of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.05(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms
thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable
hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider
in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower
hereunder.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting
from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder
and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure
by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled
Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment
under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the
Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds
therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for
distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the
Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or
liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent
and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. If the Liquidity
Provider notifies the Borrower in writing before the 25th day prior to an anniversary
date of the Closing Date that is prior to the 15th day after the Final Legal
Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates (such notification, a “Non-Extension Notice”; the
date of such notification, the “Notice Date”) that its obligation to make Advances hereunder shall
not be extended beyond the immediately following anniversary date of the Closing Date (and if the
Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the Notice Date (but prior to
such anniversary date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof
and Section 3.05(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. Without duplication of any rights created by Section
3.03, if as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably
deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of
making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there
shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in
the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement
in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the
Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such
increase or reduction being referred to herein as an “Increased Cost”), then, subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal
to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and American of a
certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by
reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of
such Increased Cost; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with
respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 120 days prior to the date of delivery of
such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima
facie evidence of the amount of the Increased Costs for purposes of this Agreement;
provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of
any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances or the obligation to make Advances
are made on a reasonable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidity Provider shall not be
entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Excluded
Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of
any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all
commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of
Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such
designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim;
provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action
that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to take any action that is not
materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise materially disadvantageous to the
Liquidity Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost,
unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor.
If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, such notice fails to avoid the
need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity
Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make
payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
14
any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or
comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider’s jurisdiction of organization or
in which its Lending Office is located and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being
agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by the Consultative Documents issued by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and
“International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated
December 2009, shall not be considered to have been proposed or pending as of the date of this
Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances
peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking
institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule,
regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost;
(c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01 or
(d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other
similarly situated transactions related to the airline industry.
Section 3.02 Intentionally omitted.
Section 3.03 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless
such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or
deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, then, subject to
Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so
required to be deducted or withheld and, without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.01,
if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be
necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after
deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have
been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been
required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund
of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which
additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider
shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and
any interest thereon) or net benefit.
The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant
holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective
Date two valid completed and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0,
X-0XXX xx X-0XXX (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer
identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation
as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms
or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United
States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
15
are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide
timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The
Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably
requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider
under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of,
any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the
Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any
such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii)
hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after
deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which
would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days
after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes
applicable to such payment.
If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the
Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without
providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the
Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the
eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to
provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the
Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.
Section 3.04 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall make or
cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of MS Bank at [___________________],
Reference to: American Airlines 2011-2A EETC, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Loan Servicing, or to such
other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination
Agent.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of
interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
16
made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result
(and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of
interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not
delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR
Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the
next Interest Payment Date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall
pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider
Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount
thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A
Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the
case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the
Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii), to the
extent permitted by law, any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or
other amounts or installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date
thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest
rate per annum for each day that such amount remains overdue and unpaid equal to the Applicable
Liquidity Rate for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such
day, but in no event in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above at a rate per annum
greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that,
if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest
payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the
total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued
(without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in
this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or
a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance
for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following
the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that a Provider Advance shall always be a LIBOR
Advance unless the Borrower elects otherwise.
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid.
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
17
Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate
Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent
of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to
the Investment Earnings plus the Applicable Margin on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied
Non-Extension Advance, from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other
amounts or installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum
until paid.
(g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of
making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice
thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. If such notice is given, then the
outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances
effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable
Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one per cent (1.00%).
The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the
Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice
no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR
Advances effective as the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such
withdrawal. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest
specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as
the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and
subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09
of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and
time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in
substantially the form of Annex VIII (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to
the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become
the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient
(in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds

acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss
of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing
specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if
any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the
Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and
American by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such
change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider,
requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire
before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the
Borrower and American as promptly as practicable of any event that will or to its knowledge is
reasonably likely to lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this
Section 3.10; provided that a failure by the Liquidity Provider to notify the Borrower or
American of an event that is reasonably likely to lead to such a conversion prior to the time that
it is determined that such event will lead to such a conversion shall not prejudice the rights of
the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all
commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without
limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid
the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided that the foregoing
shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable
judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or
American agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation
or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR
Advances to Base Rate Advances, American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

other Liquidity Indemnitee, (ii) an ordinary and usual operating overhead expense, (iii)
attributable to the failure by such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee to

of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity
Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do not comply with the
terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim against the
Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of
any damages suffered by the Borrower that were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the
terms hereof or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement or
the Intercreditor Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider’s failure to
make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing
complying with the terms and conditions hereof. In no event, however, shall the Liquidity Provider
be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(including, without limitation, loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

Section 7.08 Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise
provided in this Section 7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have
the right to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein, subject to the Liquidity Provider’s right to grant Participations pursuant to
Section 7.08(b).
(b) The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will not grant any participation (including, without
limitation, a “risk participation”) (any such participation, a “Participation”) in or to all or a
portion of its rights and obligations hereunder or under the other Operative Agreements, unless all
of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Participation is made in accordance with all
applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and any other applicable laws relating to the transfer of
similar interests, (ii) such Participation shall not be made under circumstances that require
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification of any indenture under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and (iii) such Participation shall not be made to any
Person that is a commercial air carrier, American or any affiliate of American. Notwithstanding
any such Participation, the Liquidity Provider agrees that (1) the Liquidity Provider’s obligations

benefits as against American or the Borrower or under any Operative Agreement, (2) the Liquidity
Provider shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the Operative Agreements for the
performance of such obligations, (3) the Liquidity Provider shall remain the maker of any Advances,
and the other parties to the Operative Agreements shall continue to deal solely and directly with
the Liquidity Provider in connection with the Advances and the Liquidity Provider’s rights and
obligations under the Operative Agreements, (4) the Liquidity Provider shall be solely responsible
for any withholding Taxes or any filing or reporting requirements relating to such Participation
and shall hold the Borrower and American and their respective successors, permitted assigns,
affiliates, agents and servants harmless against the same and (5) neither American nor the Borrower
shall be required to pay to the Liquidity Provider any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03
greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any grant of a Participation by
the Liquidity Provider.

25
The Liquidity Provider may, in connection with any Participation or proposed Participation
pursuant to this Section 7.08(b), disclose to the participant or proposed participant any
information relating to the Operative Agreements or to the parties thereto furnished to the
Liquidity Provider thereunder or in connection therewith and permitted to be disclosed by the
Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the
participant or proposed participant shall agree in writing for the express benefit of the Borrower
and American to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information included therein
(subject to customary exceptions). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity
Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly, in determining
amounts due by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.03 of
this Agreement, references in this Agreement to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy
requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03
and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of
each of its participants that are commercial banking institutions and of whose participation the
Borrower has been notified, in each case up to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by
or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly had there not been any grant of a Participation
by the Liquidity Provider, and references to the Liquidity Provider therein and in related
definitions shall be treated as references to such participants where applicable; provided
that in any event, neither American nor the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under
Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had there not been any
grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider.
(c) The Liquidity Provider agrees that, as a condition of any Participation, the participant
shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the
Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with
respect to any income derived by such participant from the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Agreements, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower two properly
completed executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or
Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such participant’s entitlement to a complete
exemption from United States federal withholding tax for all income derived by it from the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) agree (for the benefit of the
Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide each of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a
new Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or
document (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or document expires or becomes
obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form,
certificate or document previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date
of any payment to be made to the participant pursuant to the Operative Agreements, certifying that
such participant is entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax for
all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (iv)
agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide such other forms or
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish
that all income derived by it from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements is
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. Unless the Borrower has received forms
or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it indicating that payments to be made pursuant to
the Operative
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
(American Airlines 2011-2 Aircraft EETC)
26
Agreements are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower may withhold
taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate; provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidity Provider agrees to be the sole withholding agent
relating to any Participation. The Liquidity Provider shall provide to the Borrower such
information as the Borrower may reasonably request about the Liquidity Provider or a participant to
satisfy any reporting or other Tax obligations of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement;
provided that the Liquidity Provider shall not be required to provide any such information
(other than the names of participants, percentage of participation and copies of such participants’
withholding tax forms) which is not within its possession or which is confidential.
(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may
assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the
United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such
assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision
of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.10 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE

knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal
counsel. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) To the extent that the Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter
acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and
whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor
legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere,
to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or
service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of
a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or
from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, the Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably and
expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such
proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.
Section 7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
