that any such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or

of any Equipment Note or Pass Through Certificate, all or any
part of such Indemnitee's interest in the Operative Documents or
the Pass Through Documents or any interest in the Collateral or

the authorization or giving or withholding of any future
amendments, supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any
Operative Document or any Pass Through Document, other than such
as have been requested by the Company or that occur as the result
of an Event of Default, or such as are expressly required or
contemplated by the provisions of the Operative Documents or the
Pass Through Documents;
(ix) any Claim to the extent such Claim is payable or borne
by (a) the Company pursuant to any indemnification, compensation
or reimbursement provision of any other Operative Document or any
Pass Through Document or
12
AA-Boeing EETC-Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement
(b) a Person other than the Company pursuant to any provision of
any Operative Document or any Pass Through Document;
(x) any Claim to the extent such Claim is an ordinary and
usual operating or overhead expense;
(xi) any Claim to the extent such Claim is incurred by or
asserted as a result of any "prohibited transaction" within the
meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; and
(xii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to
one or more of the other aircraft financed through the offering
of Pass Through Certificates (in the event of doubt, any Claim
shall be allocated between the Aircraft and such other aircraft
in the same proportion that the then outstanding Equipment Notes
bear to the then outstanding equipment notes issued with respect
to the other aircraft and held by the Pass Through Trustees).
(e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by
the Company hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the
Company, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Company's expense, with the
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Claim.
(f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Company of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided that the
failure to provide such prompt notice shall not release the Company from any of
its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is
prejudiced by such failure or the Company's indemnification obligations are
increased as a result of such failure. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to
the Company all additional information in such Indemnitee's possession to
substantiate such request for payment to the Company as the Company shall
reasonably request. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of
insurance maintained by the Company, the Company shall have the right, at its
sole cost and expense, to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to
defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this
Section 4.02, and, at the Company's expense, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee
shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be
indemnified with respect to such Claim under this Section 4.02. Where the
Company or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company
undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional
legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such
Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred
at the written request of the Company or such insurers. Subject to the
requirements of any
13
AA-Boeing EETC-Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement
policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any
judicial proceeding controlled by the Company pursuant to the preceding
provisions; provided that such party's participation does not, in the opinion of
the counsel appointed by the Company or its insurers to conduct such
proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not
constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 4.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not
under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel for all Indemnitees.
(g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the
Company under this Section 4.02 is in fact paid in full by the Company or an
insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Company, the Company or
such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any further action, be
subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such
Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such
Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and
shall cooperate with the Company or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit
the Company or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment from any
party other than the Company or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect
to any Claim paid by the Company or its insurers hereunder, it shall promptly
pay over to the Company the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the
amount the Company or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim).
Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to the Company
shall not be paid to the Company, or, if it has been previously paid directly to
the Company, shall not be retained by the Company, if at the time of such
payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be
paid to and held by the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Operative Documents,
and, if the Company agrees, shall be applied against the Company's obligations
hereunder and thereunder when and as they become due and payable and, at such
time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to
the extent not previously so applied against the Company's obligations, shall be
paid to the Company; provided that if any such amount has been so held by the
Loan Trustee as security for more than 90 days after any such Event of Default
shall have occurred, during which period (i) the Loan Trustee shall not have
been limited by operation of law or otherwise from exercising remedies under the
Indenture and (ii) the Loan Trustee shall not have exercised any remedy
available to it under Section 4.02 of the Indenture, then such amount, to the
extent not previously so applied against the Company's payment obligations,
shall be paid to the Company.
(h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 4.02 shall
constitute a guarantee by the Company that the Aircraft shall at any time have
any particular value, useful life or residual value.
14
AA-Boeing EETC-Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement
(i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt of a
written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement
describing in reasonable detail the Claims that are the subject of and basis for
such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any payments made
pursuant to this Section 4.02 directly to an Indemnitee or to the Company, as
the case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to
such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or,
if no such directions shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to
the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 7.01. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Past Due Rate shall be paid,
on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section
4.02 until the same shall be paid. Such interest shall be paid in the same
manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

successor Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition of the Operative

conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption agreement
mentioned in clause (i) above comply with this Section

relating to such transaction have been complied with (except
that such opinion need not cover the matters
20
AA-Boeing EETC-Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement
referred to in clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual
matters, on a certificate of an officer of the Company) and,
in the case of such opinion, that such assumption agreement
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
successor Person and is enforceable against such successor
Person in accordance with its terms, except as the same may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance,
transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company as an
entirety in accordance with this Section 6.02(e), the successor Person formed by
such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents with the same effect as if such successor Person
had been named as the Company herein.
