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 of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.06(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-2 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 3.06(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. At any time during the period no later than the 25th day and no earlier than the 60th day prior to the then-effective Expiry Date, the Borrower may provide notice to the Liquidity Provider and the Liquidity Provider may provide notice to the Borrower of the then-effective Expiry Date. If the Expiry Date is prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-2 Certificates, by written agreement between the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider, entered into at any time prior to the 25th day prior to the then-effective Expiry Date, the then-effective Expiry Date may be extended, effective 13 on such 25th day, to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A-2 Certificates and (ii) the date that is the last day of the 364 day period immediately following such then-effective Expiry Date (unless in either case the obligations of the Liquidity Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof). If the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider do not so agree to extend the then-effective Expiry Date prior to such 25th day (and if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after such 25th day (but prior to such Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.06(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER 14 Section 3.01 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or any compliance by the Liquidity Provider or its head office with any official request or directive regarding the same (whether or not having the force of law) there shall be (x) any increase in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances, (y) any reduction in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, or (z) any reduction in the rate of return on the Liquidity Provider's capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder, its funding Advances or maintaining Unpaid Advances or its funding or maintaining the Downgrade Advance or the Non-Extension Advance to a level below that which the Liquidity Provider could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Liquidity Provider's policies with respect to capital adequacy), and in case of any 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 the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 15 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 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 are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and American as promptly as practicable after obtaining actual knowledge 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 (consistent with its internal lending policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal lending policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce, to the 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 incur any loss or cost, unless the Borrower or American agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, 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 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement. 15 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 known to the officers of the Liquidity Provider proposed by 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 and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative document issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled "The New Basel Capital Accord" shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed 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 similar banking institutions organized 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) to the extent that amounts claimed hereunder result from a failure by the Liquidity Provider to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01; or (d) to the extent the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions. 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, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, 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 utilized. 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 copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable, including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and 16 (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 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. Whenever any Tax is payable with respect to a payment hereunder, as promptly as possible thereafter, 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. The Borrower shall, for federal income tax purposes, treat any Advances as a loan to the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Class A-2 Trust, unless otherwise required by law. Section 3.04 Payments. 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 Chase Manhattan Bank, ABA #021-000-021, for the account of Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch, Account Number: 920-1-060663, Reference: American Airlines, Inc. EETC 2001-2; or to such other account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent. 17 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 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, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A-2 Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, 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 equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event 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, 18 such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if, pursuant to Section 2.06, such Final Advance is deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance). (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 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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Provider Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Provider 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum until paid, but in no event 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(f) 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(f) below the maximum rate permitted by law until the 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(f) had at all relevant times been in effect. (g) 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". 19 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 VI (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 lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives (consistent with its internal lending policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid 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 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, 20 American may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
