Subject:                      Installation of Cabin Systems Equipment

Reference:
Purchase Agreement No. 1977 (the Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and American Airlines, Inc.  (Customer) relating to Model 737-823 aircraft (the Aircraft)


This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Customer has requested that Boeing install in the Aircraft the in-flight entertainment and cabin communications systems (IFE/CCS) described in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement.

Because of the complexity of the IFE/CCS, special attention and additional resources will be required during the development, integration, certification, and manufacture of the Aircraft to achieve proper operation of the IFE/CCS at the time of delivery of the Aircraft.  To assist Customer, Boeing will perform the functions of project manager (the Project Manager) as set forth in Attachment B.

1.                Responsibilities.

1.1                Customer will:

1.1.1                Provide Customer's IFE/CCS system requirements to Boeing;

1.1.2                Customer has already selected the IFE/CCS suppliers (Suppliers).
1.1.3                Promptly after selecting Suppliers, participate with Boeing in meetings with Suppliers to ensure that Supplier's functional system specifications meet Customer and Boeing's respective requirements.  Such functional systems specifications define functionality to which Boeing will test prior to delivery but is not a guarantee of functionality at delivery;

1.1.4                Select Supplier part numbers;

1.1.5                Negotiate and obtain agreements on product assurance, product support following Aircraft delivery (including spares support), and any other special business arrangements directly with Suppliers;

1.1.6                Provide pricing information for part numbers selected above to Boeing by a mutually selected date;

1.1.7                Negotiate and obtain agreements with any required service providers; and

1.1.8                Include in Customer's contract with any seat supplier a condition obligating such seat supplier to enter into and comply with a Boeing approved bonded stores agreement.  This bonded stores agreement will set forth the procedures concerning the use, handling and storage for the Boeing owned IFE/CCS equipment during the time such equipment is under the seat supplier's control.



1.2                Boeing will:

1.2.1                Perform the Project Manager functions stated in Attachment B;

1.2.2                Provide Aircraft interface requirements to Suppliers;

1.2.3                Assist Suppliers in the development of their IFE/CCS system specifications and approve such specifications;

1.2.4                Negotiate terms and conditions (except for price, product assurance, product support following Aircraft delivery and any other special business arrangements) and enter into contracts with Suppliers and manage such contracts for the IFE/CCS;

1.2.5                Coordinate the resolution of technical issues with Suppliers;

1.2.6                Ensure that at time of Aircraft delivery the IFE/CCS configuration meets the requirements of the Options contained in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement as such Attachment A may be amended from time to time; and

1.2.7                Obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed therein.

2.                Software.

IFE/CCS systems may contain software of the following two types.

2.1                Systems Software.  The software required to operate and certify the IFE/CCS systems on the Aircraft is the Systems Software and is part of the IFE/CCS.

2.2                Customer's Software.  The software accessible to the Aircraft passengers which controls Customer's specified optional features is Customer's Software and is not part of the IFE/CCS.

2.2.1             Customer is solely responsible for specifying Customer's Software functional and performance requirements and ensuring that Customer's Software meets such requirements.  Customer and Customer's Software supplier will have total responsibility for the writing, certification, modification, revision, or correction of any of Customer's Software.  Boeing will not perform the functions and obligations described in paragraph 1.2 above, nor the Project Manager's functions described in Attachment B, for Customer's Software.

2.2.2             The omission of any Customer's Software or the lack of any functionality of Customer's Software will not be a valid condition for Customer's rejection of the Aircraft at the time of Aircraft delivery.

2.2.3             Boeing has no obligation to approve any documentation to support Customer's Software certification.  Boeing will only review and operate Customer's Software if in Boeing's reasonable opinion such review and operation is necessary to certify the IFE/CCS system on the Aircraft.

2.2.4                      Boeing will not be responsible for obtaining FAA certification for Customer's Software.

3.                Changes.

3.1                After Boeing and Supplier have entered into a contract for the purchase of the IFE/CCS, changes to such contract may only be made by Boeing.  Any Customer request for changes to the IFE/CCS specification after the Boeing/Supplier contract has been signed must be made in writing directly to Boeing.  Boeing shall respond to such request by Customer in a timely manner.  If such change is technically feasible and Boeing has the resources and time to incorporate such change, then Boeing shall negotiate with the Supplier to incorporate such change into the contract for the IFE/CCS.  Any Supplier price increase resulting from such a change will be negotiated between Customer and Supplier.

3.2                Boeing and Customer recognize that the developmental nature of the IFE/CCS may require changes to the IFE/CCS or the Aircraft in order to ensure (i) compatibility of the IFE/CCS with the Aircraft and all other Aircraft systems, and (ii) FAA certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed therein.  In such event Boeing will notify Customer and recommend to Customer the most practical means for incorporating any such change.  If within 15 days after such notification Customer and Boeing through negotiations cannot mutually agree on the incorporation of any such change or alternate course of action, then the remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 6 shall apply.

3.3                The incorporation into the Aircraft of any mutually agreed change to the IFE/CCS may result in Boeing adjusting the price of the Options contained in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement.

3.4                Boeing's obligation to obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed is limited to the IFE/CCS as described in Attachment A, as Attachment A may be amended from time to time.

4.                Supplier Defaults.

Boeing shall notify Customer in a timely manner in the event of a default by a Supplier under the Supplier's contract with Boeing.  Within 15 days of Customer's receipt of such notification, Boeing and Customer shall agree through negotiations on an alternative Supplier or other course of action.  If Boeing and Customer are unable to agree on an alternative Supplier or course of action within such time, the remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 6 shall apply.

5.                Exhibits B and C to the AGTA.

IFE/CCS is deemed to be BFE for the purposes of Exhibit B, Customer Support Document, and Exhibit C, the Product Assurance Document, of the AGTA.
