     3. On the 30th business day after the date when you cease to be a Director of AMR Corporation, the Stock Equivalent Units accrued in 2007 pursuant to the Plan will be converted to cash and paid to you by multiplying the number of such Stock Equivalent Units by the arithmetic mean of the high and the low of AMR stock (“fair market value”) during the month when you ceased to be a Director of AMR Corporation.
     4. In the event of your death, the number of Stock Equivalent Units as of your date of death will be multiplied by the fair market value of AMR stock during the calendar month immediately preceding your death, and the amount paid to Pamela Miles.
