AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2013, among AMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its successors (including, as the context may require, on or after the effective date of the Plan, as reorganized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code) (“American”), US Airways Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“US Airways”), and AMR Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of American (“Merger Sub”). Annex A to this Agreement contains a list of defined terms that are used in this Agreement and the applicable Sections of this Agreement in which each such term is defined.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, on November 29, 2011, American and certain of its direct and indirect domestic Subsidiaries (each, a “Debtor”, and collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 11-15463 (SHL) (Jointly Administered) (the “Cases”);

WHEREAS, American and US Airways have determined to engage in a strategic business combination whereby Merger Sub will be merged with and into US Airways, with US Airways continuing as the surviving entity in such merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of American (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, following the commencement of the Cases, American engaged in a deliberative process that explored various strategic alternatives, including a plan of reorganization in which the Debtors would emerge from the Cases without entering into a strategic business combination and without obtaining new equity investments of more than $1 billion (a “Standalone Plan”), and has determined, as of the date hereof, that implementation of the Merger pursuant to the Plan will maximize value for the stakeholders of the Debtors;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of each of American, US Airways and Merger Sub have, by resolutions duly adopted, declared that the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are advisable, and approved and adopted this Agreement;

WHEREAS, American and the other Debtors, with the support of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of American (the “Creditors’ Committee”), intend to seek the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Confirmation Order”) approving the restructuring of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan, including the approval of the Merger contemplated by this Agreement, and the authorization of American to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan, all allowed prepetition general unsecured claims against the Debtors (other than intercompany claims), all equity interests in American, and all rights of labor groups of the Debtors to receive Newco Common Stock in

connection with the Plan, will be fully settled and satisfied with Plan Shares, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement and the Plan;

WHEREAS, it is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger in conjunction with the Plan will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement constitute the adoption of a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code;

WHEREAS, American, US Airways and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the parties hereto, American and the other Debtors shall seek the entry of the Merger Support Order, pursuant to which, among other things, the Bankruptcy Court will approve this Agreement and the obligations of American hereunder; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 of this Agreement, prior to entry of the Merger Support Order, this Agreement is not effective and is not binding or enforceable with respect to any party hereto.

ARTICLE II

Effects of the Merger

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and in conjunction with and pursuant to the Plan, and without any further action on the part of American, US Airways, Merger Sub or the stakeholders of the Debtors or the holders of any shares of US Airways Common Stock or any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of US Airways (the “US Airways Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is directly owned by US Airways, American or Merger Sub shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of US Airways Common Stock. Each share of US Airways Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares described in Section 2.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Newco (the “Newco Common Stock”) (such shares of Newco Common Stock into which shares of US Airways Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of US Airways Common Stock converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of US Airways Common Stock (each such certificate, whether represented in certificated or non-certificated book-entry form, to the extent applicable, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(c), without interest.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Maximum Plan Shares” means an aggregate number of shares of Newco Common Stock equal to (i)(A) the number of US Airways Fully Diluted Shares as of the Share Determination Date multiplied by (B) the quotient (rounded to four decimals) of 72 divided by 28 (rounded to the nearest whole share) less (ii) the number of shares of Newco Common Stock represented by equity-based awards to be issued to employees of American and its Subsidiaries (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) as contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan, (1) including in the case of cash awards or cash-settled equity awards made pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter a number of shares of Newco Common Stock determined pursuant to that paragraph, (2) including for this purpose the Newco Common Stock share equivalent of cash awards or cash-settled equity awards contemplated by

paragraph (c) of Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter that the parties agree to treat as equity-based awards for purposes of this definition, and (3) excluding for this purpose equity-based awards contemplated by paragraph (c) of Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter that the parties agree to treat as cash awards or cash-settled equity awards for purposes of this definition.

(ii) “Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock” means a series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Newco, with respect to which the only rights, powers, preferences or privileges consist of (A) the right to convert the stated amount per share of each outstanding share of such series of preferred stock, together with any accrued dividends thereon, in full solely into shares of Newco Common Stock within 120 days following the effective date of the Plan, (B) the right to vote each such outstanding share on an as-converted to Newco Common Stock basis together with the outstanding shares of Newco Common Stock on matters presented to the stockholders of Newco generally and (C) such other rights that the Newco Common Stock into which such preferred stock is convertible is entitled to under the Newco Charter. All shares of Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on the date that is 120 days following the effective date of the Plan shall automatically be converted into shares of Newco Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof (if then entitled to receive any shares of Newco Common Stock upon conversion), and shall be cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued and shall cease to exist, and all such shares shall return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of Newco. All shares of Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan at or promptly following the Effective Time.

(iii) “Person” means any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

(iv) “Plan Shares” means shares of Newco Common Stock and Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Plan and shares of Newco Common Stock that are or may become issuable upon conversion or exchange of shares of Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock; provided that the aggregate number of shares of Newco Common Stock constituting Plan Shares, when taken together with all shares of Newco Common Stock that are or may become issuable upon conversion or exchange of shares of Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock constituting Plan Shares, shall not exceed the Maximum Plan Shares.

(v) “Share Determination Date” means 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the sixth trading day prior to the Closing.

(vi) “US Airways Fully Diluted Shares” means, as of a given time, a number of shares of US Airways Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of US Airways Common Stock that would be deemed to be outstanding as of such time for purposes of calculating “diluted earnings per share” under GAAP using the treasury stock method (calculated for the purposes hereof as though all US Airways Options and US Airways Equity Awards were vested notwithstanding the vesting requirements of any

agreements related thereto and using the as-if converted method with respect to outstanding convertible securities), except that the average market price used in such calculation shall equal the average of the daily closing price of US Airways Common Stock on the NYSE for each of the twenty (20) trading days ending on (and including) the Share Determination Date. Solely for illustrative purposes, if the Share Determination Date were February 11, 2013, the US Airways Fully Diluted Shares would equal 208,570,0577 shares of Newco Common Stock. US Airways shall deliver to American on the business day immediately following the Share Determination Date a schedule that sets forth, as of the Share Determination Date: (i) the number of outstanding shares of US Airways Common Stock, (ii) a ledger of the outstanding US Airways Options and US Airways Equity Awards, which ledger includes the applicable exercise price, (iii) the principal amount of the outstanding US Airways 7.25% Convertible Notes and outstanding US Airways 7% Convertible Notes, including the applicable conversion price, (iv) a ledger of any other outstanding securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for US Airways Common Stock, which ledger includes the applicable exercise price or conversion price, and (v) US Airways’ determination of US Airways Fully Diluted Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, each of the foregoing items in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be included in the determination of US Airways Fully Diluted Shares).

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, a commercial bank, trust company or transfer agent shall be mutually selected by American and US Airways to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the delivery of the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, American shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Newco Common Stock to be delivered as the Merger Consideration (such certificates, whether represented in certificated or non-certificated book-entry form, to the extent applicable, the “Newco Common Certificates”). In addition, American shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions which holders of Certificates have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(c). All such Newco Common Certificates and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Newco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form as reasonably agreed by the parties which (A) shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and (B) shall have such other provisions as American and US Airways may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly

completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a Newco Common Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Newco Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in respect of the aggregate number of shares of US Airways Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and a check representing cash in respect of any dividends or other distributions that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of US Airways Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of US Airways, a Newco Common Certificate representing the proper number of shares of Newco Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and a check representing cash in respect of any dividends or other distributions that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(c) may be delivered to a transferee if the Certificate representing such US Airways Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration that the holder of such Certificate has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (and cash in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Newco Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Newco Common Stock deliverable upon surrender thereof until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the Certificate, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such number of whole shares of Newco Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c), and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such number of whole shares of Newco Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in US Airways Common Stock. The shares of Newco Common Stock delivered and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of US Airways Common Stock shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of US Airways Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of US Airways other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions that holders have the right to receive upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance

with Section 2.2(c), without interest, and (ii) the stock transfer books of US Airways shall be closed with respect to all shares of US Airways Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of US Airways Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of US Airways Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Newco or the Exchange Agent for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Newco, upon demand, and any holder of Certificates who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Newco for satisfaction of its claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II.

(f) No Liability. None of Newco, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund or the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Newco on a daily basis, provided that, subject to Section 2.2(e), no such investment or losses will affect the cash payable to holders of Certificates. Any interest or other amounts received with respect to such investments shall be paid to Newco.

(h) Withholding Rights. Newco, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement any amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

Except (i) as set forth in the disclosure letter (subject to Section 7.13(c) of this Agreement) delivered to US Airways by American concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “American Disclosure Letter”), or (ii) to the extent the qualifying nature of such disclosure with respect to a specific representation and warranty is readily apparent therefrom, as set forth in the American Reports filed on or after January 1, 2012 and prior to the date hereof (excluding any disclosures included in any such American Report that are predictive or forward-looking in nature or included in any “risk factor” disclosure), American and Merger Sub each hereby represents and warrants to US Airways that:

Each of American and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization, has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an American Material Adverse Effect. American has made available to US Airways complete and correct copies of (i) American’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, each as amended to date, and (ii) Merger Sub’s certificate

of incorporation and by-laws, each as amended to date. As used in this Agreement, the term: (i) “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person of which at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such Person or by one or more of its respective Subsidiaries or by such Person and any one or more of its respective Subsidiaries; (ii) “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to American or US Airways and their respective Subsidiaries, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, assets, liabilities, business or results of operations of such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, excluding, in each case, any such effect resulting from (I) changes or conditions generally affecting the economy or financial markets, in each case in the United States or any foreign jurisdiction, (II) changes or conditions generally affecting any of the segments of the airline industry in which such party or any of its Subsidiaries operates, (III) increases in the price of fuel, (IV) changes or conditions resulting from divestiture required in order to satisfy Section 5.1(b) hereof, (V) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the announcement or consummation of the Merger, (VI) any change in applicable Laws or GAAP (or authoritative interpretation thereof), (VII) geopolitical conditions, the outbreak of a pandemic or other widespread health crisis, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any acts of war, sabotage or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage or terrorism threatened or underway as of the date of this Agreement or (VIII) any hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, volcano eruption or natural disaster; provided, however, any such effect referred to in clauses (II), (VI) or (VIII) may be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur to the extent (but only to the extent) such effect has a materially disproportionate impact on such party or its Subsidiaries relative to other air carriers operating in the airline industry; and (iii) “American Material Adverse Effect” means a Material Adverse Effect as applicable to American and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(h) Employee Benefits.

(i) Section 3.1(h)(i) of the American Disclosure Letter contains, as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of each material American Compensation and Benefit Plan, except with respect to that certain letter agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit G. “American Compensation and Benefit Plan” means each employment agreement, and each bonus, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, equity compensation, severance pay, change in control, medical, life insurance, profit-sharing, pension, retirement, retiree medical, fringe benefit and each other material employee benefit plan, program or agreement as to which American or any of its Subsidiaries has any liability, contingent or otherwise, for the benefit of, with or relating to any current or former employee, officer or director of American or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding any governmental plan or program or any statutory obligation.

Except as set forth in Section 3.1(h)(v) of the American Disclosure Letter, the plan assets of each American DB Plan equals or exceeds the benefit liabilities of such American DB Plan assuming each American DB Plan was terminated in a standard termination under Section 4041 of ERISA as of the date of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(h)(v) of the American Disclosure Letter, neither American nor any of its Subsidiaries has any outstanding liability for any minimum required contributions under Sections 412 or 430 of the Code or Sections 302 and 303 of ERISA or any premiums due but unpaid to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(h)(v) of the American Disclosure Letter, all defined benefit pension plans of the Debtors have been frozen and the pilot pension plan lump sum distribution right has been terminated.

Except in

connection with the Cases, there is no judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, governmental body, commission, agency or arbitrator outstanding against or in favor of any American Compensation and Benefit Plan or any fiduciary thereof (other than rules of general applicability). There are no pending or, to American’s Knowledge, threatened audits or investigations by any governmental body, commission or agency involving any American Compensation and Benefit Plan, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an American Material Adverse Effect.

(vii) Except as set forth in Section 3.1(h)(vii) of the American Disclosure Letter, the transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall not, by themselves or in coordination with any other event or condition, result in (A) any increase in the amount of any payment to any current or former employee, consultant or director of American or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) accelerate the vesting, time of payment or funding of any compensation or benefits, or right to any compensation or benefits, of any current or former employee, consultant or director of American or any of its Subsidiaries.

(viii) With respect to each American Compensation and Benefit Plan that primarily provides benefits or compensation to non-U.S. employees and is maintained subject to the Laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States (the “American Foreign Plans”): (A) such American Foreign Plan complies in all material respects in form and operation in accordance with all applicable Laws; (B) except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability, if an American Foreign Plan is intended to qualify for special Tax treatment, such plan meets all requirements for such treatment; (C) if required under applicable Laws to be funded and/or book-reserved, such American Foreign Plan is funded and/or book reserved, as appropriate, to the extent so required by applicable Laws; and (D) there are no going-concern unfunded actuarial liabilities, past service unfunded liabilities, solvency deficiencies or contribution holidays with respect to any of the American Foreign Plans.

Except as set forth in Section 3.1(i)(i) of the American Disclosure Letter, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to American or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to American’s Knowledge, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, except for any such investigations or reviews that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an American Material Adverse Effect.

The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.1(i) shall not apply to the following applicable Laws to the extent applicable to American and its Subsidiaries (or Licenses required under such applicable Laws): (i) ERISA and other applicable Laws regarding employee benefit matters, which are exclusively governed by Section 3.1(h), (ii) applicable Laws regarding Taxes, which are exclusively governed by Section 3.1(h) and Section 3.1(n), (iii) Environmental Laws, which are exclusively governed by Section 3.1(m), and (iv) applicable Laws regarding labor matters, which are exclusively governed by Section 3.1(o).

All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and neither American nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to its obligations under any such insurance policy. The insurance coverage of American and the Subsidiaries is customary for corporations of similar size engaged in similar lines of businesses. American has not received any notice or other communication regarding any actual or possible (a) cancellation or invalidation of any insurance policy, (b) refusal of any coverage or rejection of any material claim under any insurance policy or (c) material adjustment in the amount of premiums payable with respect to any insurance policy.

(w) Brokers and Finders. Neither American nor any of its officers, directors or employees has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions, finder’s fees or financial advisory fees that may be payable in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated in this Agreement, except that American has employed, and is solely responsible for the fees and expenses of, Rothschild Inc., or one of its affiliates, as its financial advisor, and a copy of the engagement letter with such financial advisor has been provided to US Airways prior to the date hereof. As used in this Agreement, “affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Person.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of US Airways. Except (i) as set forth in the disclosure letter (subject to Section 7.13(c) of this Agreement) delivered to American by US Airways concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “US Airways Disclosure Letter”), or (ii) to the extent the qualifying nature of such disclosure with respect to a specific representation and warranty is readily apparent therefrom, as set forth in the US Airways Reports filed on or after January 1, 2012 and prior to the date hereof (excluding any disclosures

included in any such US Airways Report that are predictive or forward-looking in nature or included in any “risk factor” disclosure), US Airways hereby represents and warrants to American and Merger Sub that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of US Airways and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization, has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a US Airways Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, the term “US Airways Material Adverse Effect” means a Material Adverse Effect as applicable to US Airways and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. US Airways has made available to American complete and correct copies of US Airways’ certificate of incorporation and by-laws, each as amended to date.

4.3 American Acquisition Proposals.

(a) American agrees that, except for the sale of any assets, operations, business or capital stock of any Person permitted by Section 4.1, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall not authorize or permit its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, including any investment bankers, attorneys or accountants (collectively, “Representatives”) retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries, to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to (1) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction (other than the Merger) pursuant to which any third Person or group of Persons party thereto, or the stockholders of such third Person or Persons, would become the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or the

outstanding voting power of American, American Airlines, Inc., AMR Eagle Holding Corporation or American Eagle Airlines, Inc. (as reorganized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or prior to such reorganization if acquired to influence acceptance or rejection of the Plan, the management or control of American and its Subsidiaries or the reorganization of the Debtors), or, if applicable, any surviving entity or the parent entity resulting from any such transaction, immediately upon consummation thereof, (2) any purchase of 10% or more of the equity securities or other ownership interests in American, American Airlines, Inc., AMR Eagle Holding Corporation or American Eagle Airlines, Inc.

(as reorganized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code), or (5) any plan of reorganization of any Debtor other than the Plan (any such inquiry, proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “American Acquisition Proposal”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided above, any inquiry, proposal or offer to purchase outstanding American Common Stock during the Cases shall not constitute an American Acquisition Proposal. American further agrees that, except as permitted by this Section 4.3(a), neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) provide any confidential information or data to, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, any Person relating to an American Acquisition Proposal, (ii) seek authority from the Bankruptcy Court to enter into (or not prosecute in good faith an objection to efforts by any other Person to have American enter into), or enter into, a letter of intent or other agreement or arrangement with respect to any American Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person other than US Airways to make or implement an American Acquisition Proposal. In addition, except as permitted by this Section 4.3(a), from the date hereof to the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, neither American nor the Board of Directors of American nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to US Airways the American Directors’ Recommendation; (ii) recommend any American Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to include the American Directors’ Recommendation in the approved Disclosure Statement; or (iv) take, resolve to take, or permit American or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to take, any action described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as an “American Change in Recommendation”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent American or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives, or its Board of Directors or any committee thereof from:

(i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law (including under Sections 14d-9 and 14e-2 of the Exchange Act) with regard to an

American Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an American Change in Recommendation unless the American Board of Directors publicly reaffirms the American Directors’ Recommendation in such disclosure;

(ii) at any time prior to, but not after, the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court:

(A) providing information in response to a request therefor by the Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written American Acquisition Proposal;

(C) making an American Change in Recommendation (provided, that prior to making any such American Change in Recommendation, American shall have consulted with the UCC’s Advisors);

provided, that (w) in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, (1) American has not breached its obligations under this Section 4.3(a) in connection with the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written American Acquisition Proposal, (2) American receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (excluding standstill provisions) containing customary terms that are no less favorable in any material respect to American than those contained in the US Airways NDA, (3) the Board of Directors of American reasonably determines that such American Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an American Superior Proposal (without having to take the actions referred to in clause (z) below) and (4) the Board of Directors of American reasonably determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such American Acquisition Proposal, a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stakeholders of the Debtors under applicable Law; (x) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, if such American Change in Recommendation does not relate to an American Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of American determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stakeholders of the Debtors under applicable Law, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(c); (y) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, if such American Change in Recommendation relates to an American Acquisition Proposal,

(1) American has not breached its obligations under this Section 4.3(a) in connection with the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written American Acquisition Proposal, (2) the Board of Directors of American determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, taking into account all relevant factors, including legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, the likelihood of obtaining financing, the likelihood of consummation and the Person making the proposal, that such American Acquisition Proposal is the highest or otherwise best offer available to the stakeholders of the Debtors (to whom fiduciary duties are owed by the Board of Directors of American) as compared to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan and (3) the Board of Directors of American determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stakeholders of the Debtors under applicable Law, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(c); and (z) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, US Airways shall have had written notice of American’s intention to take the action referred to in clause (C) (a “Notice of American Change in Recommendation”) at least five (5) business days prior to the taking of such action by American and American shall have complied with the provisions of Section 4.3(c);

provided, further, that any American Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (y) above must involve (A) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction pursuant to which any Person or the stockholders of such Person would become the beneficial owners of at least 30% of the outstanding shares of common stock or the outstanding voting power of American or American Airlines, Inc. (as reorganized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code) or, if applicable, any surviving entity (if neither American or American Airlines, Inc. is the surviving entity) resulting from any such transaction, immediately upon consummation thereof, (B) the acquisition of at least 30% of the equity securities or other ownership interests in American or American Airlines, Inc. (as reorganized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code) by any Person or group of Persons, or (C) the acquisition of at least 30% of the consolidated assets of American and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, by a Person other than (1) US Airways or its Subsidiaries or (2) the Debtors or their Subsidiaries (any such American Acquisition Proposal being referred to in this Agreement as an “American Superior Proposal”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Standalone Plan or any plan of reorganization that is substantially equivalent to a Standalone Plan be deemed an American Superior Proposal.

(b) American agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person other than US Airways with respect to any American Acquisition Proposal. American will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an American Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information furnished prior to the execution of this Agreement to or for the benefit of such Person by or on behalf of American or any of its Subsidiaries. American agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 4.3. American agrees that

any action inconsistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.3 taken by any Representative of American or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.3 by American (and any willful action or failure to take an action by any of American’s Subsidiaries or any of American’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives at the direction or request of, or with the consent or approval of, American and with the actual knowledge of an officer of American (who is a knowledge party within the meaning of “American’s Knowledge”) that the action so taken or omitted to be taken would constitute a material breach of this Section 4.3 will be deemed to be a Deliberate Material Breach of this Section 4.3 by American).

(c) American agrees that it will notify US Airways (and the UCC’s Legal Advisor) as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to any American Acquisition Proposal or potential American Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer and thereafter shall keep US Airways (and the UCC’s Advisors) informed, on a current basis, on the status and terms of any such proposal or offer and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. American agrees that (i) during the five (5) business day period following a Notice of American Change in Recommendation and prior to making an American Change in Recommendation, if requested by US Airways, American and its Representatives (in consultation with the UCC’s Advisors) shall negotiate in good faith with US Airways and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by US Airways and (ii) American may make an American Change in Recommendation only if the facts and circumstances that are the basis for such American Change in Recommendation continue to necessitate an American Change in Recommendation in light of any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to which US Airways shall have agreed in writing prior to the expiration of such five (5) business day period. American agrees that it will deliver to US Airways (and the UCC’s Legal Advisor) a new Notice of American Change in Recommendation with respect to each American Acquisition Proposal that has been materially revised or modified prior to taking any action to recommend or agreeing to recommend such American Acquisition Proposal to the stakeholders of the Debtors and that a new five (5) business day period shall commence, for purposes of this Section 4.3(c), with respect to each such materially revised or modified American Acquisition Proposal from the time US Airways receives a Notice of American Change in Recommendation with respect thereto. American also agrees to provide any information to US Airways (and the UCC’s Advisors) that it is providing to another Person pursuant to this Section 4.3 prior to or substantially contemporaneous with the time it provides it to such other Person unless American has already provided such information to US Airways or it is advised by outside legal counsel that doing so would violate applicable Law.

(d) Subject to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, American agrees that its obligations pursuant to Sections 4.7(a) and 4.20 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication

to American or the other Debtors or their stakeholders of any American Acquisition Proposal, by any consideration of or agreement with respect to an American Acquisition Proposal or by any change or proposed change to the American Directors’ Recommendation (whether or not permitted by the terms of this Agreement).

(a) US Airways agrees that, except for the sale of any assets, operations, business or capital stock of any Person permitted by Section 4.2, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall not authorize or permit its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries, to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to (1) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction (other than the Merger) pursuant to which any third Person or group of Persons party thereto, or the stockholders of such third Person or Persons, would become the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or the outstanding voting power of US Airways or US Airways, Inc., or, if applicable, any surviving entity or the parent entity resulting from any such transaction, immediately upon consummation thereof, (2) any purchase of 10% or more of the equity securities or other ownership interests in US Airways or US Airways, Inc.

US Airways further agrees that, except as permitted by this Section 4.4(a), neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) provide any confidential information or data to, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, any Person relating to a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into a letter of intent or other agreement or arrangement with respect to any US Airways Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person other than American to make or implement a US Airways Acquisition Proposal. In addition, except as permitted by this Section 4.4(a), from the date hereof to the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, neither US Airways nor the Board of Directors of US Airways nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to American or Merger Sub the US Airways Directors’ Recommendation; (ii) recommend any US Airways Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to include the US Airways Directors’ Recommendation in the Prospectus / Proxy Statement; or (iv) take, resolve to take, or permit US Airways or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to take, any action described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “US Airways Change in Recommendation”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent US Airways or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives, or its Board of Directors or any committee thereof from:

(i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law (including under Sections 14d-9 and 14e-2 of the Exchange Act) with regard to a US Airways Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be US Airways Change in Recommendation unless the US Airways Board of Directors publicly reaffirms the US Airways Directors’ Recommendation in such disclosure;

(ii) at any time prior to, but not after, the receipt of the Stockholder Approval:

(A) providing information in response to a request therefor by the Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written US Airways Acquisition Proposal;

(B) engaging in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written US Airways Acquisition Proposal; or

provided that, (w) in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, (1) US Airways has not breached its obligations under this Section 4.4(a) in connection with the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written US Airways Acquisition Proposal, (2) US Airways receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (excluding standstill provisions) containing customary terms that are no less favorable in any material respect to US Airways than those contained in the American NDA, (3) the Board of Directors of US Airways reasonably determines that such US Airways Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a US Airways Superior Proposal (without having to take the actions referred to in clause (z) below) and (4) the Board of Directors of US Airways reasonably determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such US Airways Acquisition Proposal, a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of US Airways under applicable Law; (x) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, if such US Airways Change in Recommendation does not relate to a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of US Airways determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of US Airways under applicable Law, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(c); (y) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, if such US Airways Change in Recommendation relates to a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, (1) US Airways has not breached its obligations under this Section 4.4(a) in connection with the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written US Airways Acquisition Proposal, (2) the Board of Directors of US Airways determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, taking into account all relevant factors, including legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, the likelihood of obtaining financing, the likelihood of consummation and the

Person making the proposal, that such US Airways Acquisition Proposal is more favorable, from a financial point of view, to US Airways’ stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (3) the Board of Directors of US Airways determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of US Airways under applicable Law, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(c); and (z) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, American shall have had written notice of US Airways’ intention to take the action referred to in clause (C) (a “Notice of US Airways Change in Recommendation”) at least five (5) business days prior to the taking of such action by US Airways and US Airways shall have complied with the provisions of Section 4.4(c);

provided, further, that any US Airways Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (y) above must involve (A) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction pursuant to which any Person or the stockholders of such Person would become the beneficial owner of at least 30% of the outstanding shares of common stock or the outstanding voting power of US Airways or US Airways, Inc., or, if applicable, any surviving entity (if neither US Airways or US Airways, Inc. is the surviving entity) resulting from any such transaction, immediately upon consummation thereof, (B) the acquisition of at least 30% of the equity securities or other ownership interests in US Airways or US Airways, Inc., or (C) the acquisition of at least 30% of the consolidated assets of US Airways and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, by a Person other than (1) American or its Subsidiaries or (2) US Airways or its Subsidiaries (any such US Airways Acquisition Proposal being referred to in this Agreement as a “US Airways Superior Proposal”).

(b) US Airways agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person other than American with respect to any US Airways Acquisition Proposal. US Airways will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of a US Airways Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information furnished prior to the execution of this Agreement to or for the benefit of such Person by or on behalf of US Airways or any of its Subsidiaries. US Airways agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 4.4. US Airways agrees that any action inconsistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.4 taken by any Representative of US Airways or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.4 by US Airways (and any willful action or failure to take an action by any of US Airways’ Subsidiaries or any of US Airways’ or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives at the direction or request of, or with the consent or approval of, US Airways and with the actual knowledge of an officer of US Airways (who is a knowledge party within the meaning of “US Airways’ Knowledge”) that the action so taken or omitted to be taken would constitute a material breach of this Section 4.4 will be deemed to be a Deliberate Material Breach of this Section 4.4 by US Airways).

(c) US Airways agrees that it will notify American as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any inquiries, proposals or offers with

respect to any US Airways Acquisition Proposal or potential US Airways Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer and thereafter shall keep American informed, on a current basis, on the status and terms of any such proposal or offer and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. US Airways agrees that (i) during the five (5) business day period following a Notice of US Airways Change in Recommendation and prior to making a US Airways Change in Recommendation, if requested by American, US Airways and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with American and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by American and (ii) US Airways may make a US Airways Change in Recommendation only if the facts and circumstances that are the basis for such US Airways Change in Recommendation continue to necessitate a US Airways Change in Recommendation in light of any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to which American shall have agreed in writing prior to the expiration of such five (5) business day period. US Airways agrees that it will deliver to American a new Notice of US Airways Change in Recommendation with respect to each US Airways Acquisition Proposal that has been materially revised or modified prior to taking any action to recommend or agreeing to recommend such US Airways Acquisition Proposal to the stockholders of US Airways and that a new five (5) business day period shall commence, for purposes of this Section 4.4(c), with respect to each such materially revised or modified US Airways Acquisition Proposal from the time American receives a Notice of US Airways Change in Recommendation with respect thereto. US Airways also agrees to provide any information to American that it is providing to another Person pursuant to this Section 4.4 prior to or substantially contemporaneous with the time it provides it to such other Person unless US Airways has already provided such information to American or it is advised by outside legal counsel that doing so would violate applicable Law.

(d) Subject to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, US Airways agrees that its obligations pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7(a) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to US Airways or its stockholders of any US Airways Acquisition Proposal, by any consideration of or agreement with respect to a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, or by any change or proposed change to the US Airways Directors’ Recommendation (whether or not permitted by the terms of this Agreement).

4.5 Information Supplied. Each of American and US Airways agrees that the information supplied or to be supplied by it or any of its Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Form S-4, and any amendment or supplement thereto, will not, at the time the Form S-4 becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) the Prospectus / Proxy Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, will not, at the date of mailing to stockholders of US Airways and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. American and US Airways will cause the Form S-4 and the Prospectus / Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

4.6 Stockholders Meeting. US Airways shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, all lawful and reasonable action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of holders of shares of US Airways Common Stock (the “Stockholders Meeting”), which may be the US Airways annual meeting of stockholders, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event will use its reasonable best efforts to convene the Stockholders Meeting not more than 45 days after the later of (x) the date the Form S-4 is declared effective or (y) the date on which the Disclosure Statement Order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court, to (a) consider and approve the adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of US Airways Common Stock at the Stockholders Meeting (the “Stockholder Approval”) and (b) consider and approve a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation payable, in connection with the Merger, to each US Airways “named executive officer” (as determined in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K) pursuant to arrangements entered into with US Airways.

4.7 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) American and US Airways shall promptly after the date of this Agreement prepare, and American shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC as promptly as practicable thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the issuance of shares of Newco Common Stock to stockholders of US Airways (the “Form S-4”), which Form S-4 will include a prospectus and a proxy statement in connection with the Stockholders Meeting (the “Prospectus / Proxy Statement”). Each of American and US Airways, in consultation with the other and, in the case of American, in consultation with the UCC’s Advisors, shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) respond to any comments on the Form S-4 or the Prospectus / Proxy Statement or requests for additional information from the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of any such comments or requests and (ii) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act by the date that is 120 days after the date of this Agreement, and US Airways shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly thereafter mail the Prospectus / Proxy Statement to the holders of shares of US Airways Common Stock. The Form S-4, and any proposed modifications, amendments, supplements, exhibits and other similar documents (collectively, the “Form S-4 Documents”), shall be provided to US Airways and the UCC’s Advisors prior to being filed with the SEC and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to US Airways (such acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). The Prospectus / Proxy Statement, and any proposed modifications, amendments, supplements, exhibits and other similar documents (collectively, the “Proxy Statement

Documents”), shall be provided to American prior to being mailed to the stockholders of US Airways and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to American (such acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). Prior to the date the Prospectus / Proxy Statement is initially mailed to US Airways stockholders, American, US Airways and Merger Sub shall cooperate in good faith to approve a certificate or certificates of designation to the Newco Charter as reasonably necessary to create the Newco Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or certificates of designation shall be reasonably acceptable to each of American and US Airways.

(b) American and US Airways shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws (i) to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as soon as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (including any required filings under the EU Merger Regulation) and (ii) to obtain as promptly as practicable all material consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, American and US Airways agree that obligations relating to “reasonable best efforts” and “as soon as practicable” in the preceding sentence shall, among other things, mean, with respect to filing of the notification and required form under the HSR Act made by the parties prior to the date of this Agreement, using reasonable best efforts to be prepared to complete a certification of compliance with any request for additional information issued by the Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Second Request”) no later than 60 days following the issuance of such Second Request. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, American and US Airways shall permit the other party to review, in advance, any written communication given by it to, and to the extent practicable consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each party shall provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent reasonably practicable, all telephone calls and meetings with a Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include Representatives of American and US Airways. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of American and US Airways shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, American and US Airways each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Form S-4, the Prospectus / Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by

or on behalf of American, US Airways or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to applicable Laws and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, American and US Airways each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by American or US Airways, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. American shall give prompt notice to US Airways of any change, fact or condition which, to American’s Knowledge, is reasonably expected to result in an American Material Adverse Effect or of any failure of any condition to US Airways’ obligations to effect the Merger. US Airways shall give prompt notice to American of any change, fact or condition which, to US Airways’ Knowledge, is reasonably expected to result in a US Airways Material Adverse Effect or of any failure of any condition to American’s obligations to effect the Merger. Notwithstanding the above, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.7(d) will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s obligation to consummate the Merger.

(e) American’s and US Airways’ obligations under this Section 4.7 shall include the obligation to cooperate with each other and use (and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to defend any lawsuits or legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, or any actions by a Governmental Entity, challenging the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to seek to have any stay or other injunctive relief which would prevent or materially delay or impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement entered by any court or other Governmental Entity reversed on appeal or vacated. For purposes of this Section 4.7, “reasonable best efforts” shall include each of American’s and US Airways’ agreement to, (i) sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of its assets or the assets of its Subsidiaries or conduct its business in a specified manner or (ii) permit its assets or the assets of its Subsidiaries to be sold, held separate or disposed of or permit its business to be conducted in a specified manner; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will require, or be deemed to require, American or US Airways to agree to or effect any divestiture or take any other action (x) if doing so would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Newco Material Adverse Effect, (y) if any such sale, holding separate or other disposition of assets or conduct of business in a specified manner would be required to be effected prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time or (z) in the case of American, that is not permitted by the Bankruptcy Court; provided that American has used its reasonable best efforts to, and taken all action reasonably necessary to, promptly obtain permission to take such action from the Bankruptcy Court. “Newco Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the financial condition, assets, liabilities, business, prospects, consolidated business plan or results of operations of Newco and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(f) Each party shall give the other party the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against such party and/or its directors relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, “participate” means that the non-litigating party will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation by the litigating party (to the extent the attorney-client privilege between the litigating party and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and the non-litigating party may offer comments or suggestions with respect to the litigation but will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over the litigation of any settlement thereof.

(g) The provisions contained in this Section 4.7 shall not apply with respect to any filings, motions, orders, authorizations, notices, communications or other interactions of the Debtors with the Bankruptcy Court, which matters are exclusively governed by Section 4.20.

4.8 Access and Reports. Subject to applicable Law and that certain Agreed Information Exchange Protocol, dated October 25, 2012, among American and certain of its Representatives, US Airways and certain of its Representatives and certain advisors to the Creditors’ Committee, upon reasonable notice, each party shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to) afford the other party and its officers and other authorized Representatives (including environmental consultants) reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to (a) such party’s properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, such party shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to) furnish promptly to the other party and its authorized Representatives all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested (subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions and provided that neither party shall be required to furnish any information that would be materially harmful to such party’s competitive position) and (b) such party’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to discuss any information furnished by or on behalf of such party and to discuss such party’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses, affairs, finances and accounts.

4.9 Publicity. The initial press release disclosing this Agreement shall be a joint press release and thereafter American and US Airways each shall consult with the other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Merger, the Plan and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and prior to making any substantive filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or by the request of any Governmental Entity (and, subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4, respectively, other than such party’s actions in respect of an American Acquisition Proposal or a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, as applicable).

4.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, US Airways shall use best efforts to cause each employee of US Airways that is party to an Executive Change in Control Agreement

to waive his or her rights under such agreement to accelerated vesting of US Airways Options, US Airways Equity Awards, US Airways Cash-Settled RSUs and/or US Airways Cash-Settled SARs, in each case, solely as a result of the consummation of the Merger.

(b) Prior to the Closing, American and/or its Subsidiaries shall make all minimum required contributions (within the meaning of Section 303 of ERISA) to each American Compensation and Benefit Plan that are required to have been made and were not made prior to the effective time of the Plan.

(c) Prior to the Closing, American shall adopt and approve, to be effective as of the Effective Time, a Newco 2013 Incentive Award Plan, which shall be substantially in the form of the US Airways Group, Inc. 2011 Incentive Award Plan except that references to US Airways Group, Inc. shall be revised to reflect Newco and the aggregate number of shares of Newco Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Newco 2013 Incentive Award Plan shall be equal to 40,000,000 shares of Newco Common Stock (the “Newco 2013 Incentive Award Plan”).

(d) American shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, adopt or otherwise put into effect (i) prior to the Closing, the Ordinary Course Changes as defined in and set forth in Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter and (ii) promptly after the Merger Support Order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Employee Protection Arrangements as defined in and set forth in Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter (including but not limited to granting under the Newco 2013 Incentive Award Plan, the alignment equity and long term incentive awards in the amounts and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter, which awards shall be effective as of the Effective Time).

(e) Each employee of US Airways, American or any of their respective Subsidiaries as of the Closing (including any employee who is full-time, part-time, temporary, on vacation or on a medical or disability or any other paid or unpaid approved leave of absence) who continues employment with Newco or the Surviving Corporation following the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) who is not represented by a labor union and/or whose employment is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement (collectively, the “Non-Union Continuing Employees”) shall continue to receive, during the one (1)-year period beginning on the Closing Date, base salary or wages that are no less favorable than the base salary or wages received by such Non-Union Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. During the two (2)-year period beginning on the Closing Date, each Non-Union Continuing Employee shall be entitled to receive severance pay and benefits that are not less favorable than the severance pay and benefits such Non-Union Continuing Employee would have received under the applicable American Compensation and Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, including as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter, or any US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, including as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 4.2(o) of the US Airways Disclosure Letter. The employment terms and conditions of each Continuing Employee who is not a Non-

Union Continuing Employee shall be governed by the applicable labor union agreement and/or collective bargaining agreement.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Newco shall credit, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to credit, each Non-Union Continuing Employee with his or her years of service with US Airways, American, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and predecessor entities, under any employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which such Non-Union Continuing Employee participates following the Closing (the “Post-Closing Plans”), to the same extent as such Non-Union Continuing Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plan or American Compensation and Benefit Plan, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and, to the extent applicable, calculation of the amount of vacation, travel and/or severance benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no service prior to the Closing Date shall be credited for the purpose of benefit accrual or eligibility for any defined benefit pension plan, early retirement benefits or subsidies under any defined benefit pension plan, nor for purposes of eligibility under any retiree medical plan, except to the extent required by applicable Laws (and then only to the extent crediting such service would not result in the duplication of benefits).

(g) In addition, and without limiting the generality of Section 4.10(f), this Section 4.10(g) or any other provisions herein, (i) for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or other health benefits to any Non-Union Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, Newco shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Non-Union Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such pre-existing condition exclusions or actively-at-work requirements were waived or were inapplicable under the comparable US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plan or American Compensation and Benefit Plan and (ii) the Post-Closing Plans shall not deny Non-Union Continuing Employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions and shall credit such Non-Union Continuing Employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid in the year of initial participation in the Post-Closing Plans.

(h) On the date the employment of any Non-Union Continuing Employee is transferred to Newco or a different Subsidiary of Newco, the accrued and unused vacation and any positive account balance under any medical or dependent care expense reimbursement account of such Non-Union Continuing Employee shall be transferred to such new employer, and such new employer shall be responsible for such obligations at or after the date of such transfer, except in the case of a transfer of such expense reimbursement account balances to a new employer that does not maintain any dependent care or medical expense reimbursement account plan. Each Non-Union Continuing Employee also shall be permitted to continue to have payroll deductions made as most recently elected by him or her under the applicable FSA Plan.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.10(e) to the contrary, Newco shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, explicitly

assume and hereby agree to perform, or to cause to be performed, the obligations of US Airways or its Subsidiaries under those plans and agreements set forth on Section 4.10(i) of the US Airways Disclosure Letter (which provide severance payments and/or benefits applicable to Non-Union Continuing Employees).

(j) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-Union Continuing Employee who satisfies the eligibility requirements of a US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plan or an American Compensation and Benefit Plan that is a 401(k) plan shall be eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan maintained by Newco or the Surviving Corporation following the Closing (each, a “Post-Closing 401(k) Plan”) and shall be credited with eligibility service and vesting service for all periods of service with US Airways and American, and their respective Subsidiaries to the extent so credited with such service under the applicable 401(k) plan as of the Closing Date. Additionally, in the event Newco or any of its Subsidiaries terminates a 401(k) plan after the Closing Date, each Non-Union Continuing Employee who participates in such plan shall, following such termination, become eligible to participate in a Post-Closing 401(k) Plan for purposes of making rollover contributions and, at his or her election, be entitled to roll over his or her outstanding participant loan and related promissory note under the terminated 401(k) plan. During the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending at the time of the rollover of such loan and related promissory notes and related account balances, such loans shall continue to be maintained under the applicable 401(k) plan, and Newco shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make payroll deductions in respect of required payments under any such loan and timely remit such amounts to the applicable 401(k) plan as payments on such loan. During such period, provided that the participant continues to make all required installment payments with respect to such loan, such loan shall not be placed in default, and Newco (or the Surviving Corporation) and the US Airways or one of its Subsidiaries shall take all necessary action to cause such loan not to be placed in default.

(k) Except as otherwise required under applicable Laws or to the extent expressly set forth in a binding written agreement with Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Non-Union Continuing Employees shall be considered to be employed “at will” and nothing shall be construed to limit the ability of Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any such employee at any time, subject to any applicable severance and related benefits (including any governmental or statutory severance).

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Continuing Employee who is located in a jurisdiction where local employment Laws provide for an automatic transfer of employees upon transfer of a business as a going concern and such transfer occurs by operation of Law (the “Automatic Transferred Employees”), in the event that the applicable Laws of any country require Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (i) to maintain Terms and Conditions of Employment with respect to any Automatic Transferred Employee following the Closing or (ii) to continue or cause to be continued any employment contract of any Automatic Transferred Employee, Newco shall cause the entity that employs such Automatic Transferred Employee following the Closing to comply with such requirements to the extent required

by such applicable Laws; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.10(l) shall prevent Newco or the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Automatic Transferred Employee after the Closing (for which Newco and its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any costs or liabilities) or otherwise modifying the Terms and Conditions of Employment of any Automatic Transferred Employee to the extent permitted by Law or otherwise agreed with applicable employee(s) or representative(s) thereof. “Terms and Conditions of Employment” shall mean the rights of Automatic Transferred Employees according to their individual terms and conditions of employment with US Airways or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing and, where applicable, under company or shop agreements, and any arrangements based on works customs and unilateral undertakings, if and to the extent they provide to an Automatic Transferred Employee direct and enforceable causes of action against the employer.

(m) Newco shall take, and may cause any of its Subsidiaries to take, any and all actions necessary or appropriate (including to the extent necessary under the plan) to, as of the Effective Time, (i) assume and adopt each US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plan and each American Compensation and Benefit Plan (including all matters set forth in this Section 4.10 and Section 4.1(o) of the American Disclosure Letter, but excluding any prepetition equity or equity-equivalent plan or agreement of American and its Subsidiaries) and to maintain and to perform under such plans and agreements to the same extent as US Airways or American or their respective subsidiaries would be required to perform under such plans and agreements if the Merger did not take place, and (ii) to the extent applicable, become, or cause the Surviving Corporation to become, a “participating employer” (as applicable) under such US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plans and American Compensation and Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Newco shall assume, as of the Effective Time, all of the American Compensation and Benefit Plans which constitute retirement plans, including all such plans subject to Title IV of ERISA and the supplemental employee retirement plan. US Airways shall cooperate with American and Newco and shall take or cause to be taken any and all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to effect the provisions of this Section 4.10(m).

(n) This Agreement shall not be interpreted as an amendment to any American Compensation and Benefit Plan or any US Airways Compensation and Benefit Plan or any other compensation and benefits plans maintained for or provided to directors, officers, employees or consultants of American, US Airways, Newco or the Surviving Corporation prior to or following the Effective Time, and nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit Newco’s or the Surviving Corporation’s right to amend or terminate any individual plan, program, policy or arrangement of US Airways or any of its Subsidiaries, and nothing contained herein shall obligate Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to maintain or continue any individual plan, program, policy or arrangement.

(o) It is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.10 are not intended to be for the benefit of or otherwise enforceable by any third Person, including any employee of American or US Airways, or any collective bargaining unit or employee organization. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this

Agreement shall create or imply any obligation on the part of US Airways, American, Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to provide any continuing employment right to any individual on or after the Closing.

4.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense; provided, however, that American and US Airways shall each be responsible for half of the filing or similar fees incurred in connection with any filings required to be made under the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation and any other applicable foreign antitrust, competition or similar Laws, as contemplated by Sections 3.1(d)(i)(B) and 3.2(d)(i)(B).

4.12 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Newco agrees that it will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of American and its Subsidiaries and each director and officer of US Airways and its Subsidiaries, in each case who was a director or officer at any time on or after November 29, 2005 (in each case, for acts or failures to act in such capacity) (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and Newco shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification; and provided, further, that any determination as to whether a Person is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be made by independent counsel selected by Newco and such Person.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 4.12(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Newco thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Newco of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially and actually prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Newco shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Newco shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Newco does not elect to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Newco and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Newco shall be obligated to pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as

statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Newco shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 4.12(b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will use their reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) Newco shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that Newco shall not have any obligation under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by American and US Airways, at or prior to the Effective Time, American shall, and if American is unable to, Newco shall, purchase the six-year “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary insurance policies described in Section 4.12(c) of the American Disclosure Letter (the “Preferred American D&O Tail Policy”) or comparable policies from other reputable insurance providers; provided, that the amount paid by American or Newco for such Preferred American D&O Tail Policy shall not exceed 200% of the annual premium for American’s then current officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary insurance policies (such premium, the “American Maximum Premium”). If the Preferred American D&O Tail Policy has been obtained by American or Newco, Newco shall maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If American or Newco are unable to obtain the Preferred American D&O Tail Policy, Newco shall maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the same Persons covered or to be covered by the Preferred American D&O Tail Policy (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) issued by insurance carriers with the same or higher financial strength ratings as, and on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than, those of the Preferred American D&O Tail Policy, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall Newco be required to expend annually an amount in excess of the American Maximum Premium for such insurance; provided, further, that if the premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Newco shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a premium not exceeding the American Maximum Premium.

(d) Unless otherwise agreed by American and US Airways, at or prior to the Effective Time, US Airways shall, and if US Airways is unable to, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase the six-year “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary insurance policies described in Section 4.12(d) of the US Airways Disclosure Letter (the “Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy”) or comparable policies from other reputable insurance providers; provided, that the amount paid by US Airways or the Surviving Corporation for such Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy shall not exceed 200% of the annual premium for US Airway’s then current officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary insurance policies (such premium, the “US Airways Maximum Premium”). If the Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy has been obtained

by US Airways or the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder. If US Airways or the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the same Persons covered or to be covered by the Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) issued by insurance carriers with the same or higher financial strength ratings as, and on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than, those of the Preferred US Airways D&O Tail Policy, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend annually an amount in excess of the US Airways Maximum Premium for such insurance; provided, further, that if the premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a premium not exceeding the US Airways Maximum Premium.

(e) In addition to the rights provided under Section 4.12(a), all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of American and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Contracts with American or such Subsidiaries or US Airways and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Contracts with US Airways or such Subsidiaries, their respective organizational documents or applicable Law shall survive the Merger and shall be deemed assumed by Newco as of the Effective Time and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. From and after the Effective Time, Newco shall honor and perform under all indemnification Contracts and organizational documents of American and its Subsidiaries and US Airways and its Subsidiaries. Newco shall not, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, limit or terminate, in any manner adverse to the current or former directors or officers of American and its Subsidiaries or US Airways and its Subsidiaries, with respect to their respective rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, any such Contracts with American or its Subsidiaries or US Airways or its Subsidiaries, or any such provisions contained in any of their respective organizational documents.

(f) The obligations of Newco and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 4.12 shall not be terminated or modified by such parties in a manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party or other Person to whom this Section 4.12 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other Person. If Newco or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Newco or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.12.

(g) From and after the Effective Time, Newco shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide: (i) positive space, first class flight privileges to each Person (and such Person’s spouse, life partner and dependent children) who as of the date of this Agreement is a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of American or US Airways for personal non-business related travel on substantially the same terms as such flight privileges are provided as of the date of this Agreement to the fully vested members of the Board of Directors of US Airways, and such flight privileges shall continue until the later of the death of such Person or such Person’s spouse or life partner, (ii) to each Person who as of the date of this Agreement is a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of American or US Airways, participation in Newco’s flight benefit program for directors, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, with the exception that only Persons then serving as members of the Board of Directors of Newco shall be entitled to a tax gross-up with respect to their flight privileges or any flight benefit plan benefits, and (iii) flight privileges to each Person (and such Person’s spouse, life partner and dependent children) who as of the date of this Agreement is a former member of the Board of Directors of American or US Airways on substantially the same terms as such flight privileges are provided to such Person as of the date of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 4.12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and the other Persons contemplated by Section 4.12(e) and Section 4.12(g) and their heirs and legal representatives.

4.13 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute becomes applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of American and US Airways and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and by the Merger and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

4.14 Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in Section 2.2(b), each of American, US Airways and Merger Sub shall pay any sales, use, ad valorem, property, transfer (including real property transfer) and similar Taxes imposed on such Person as a result of or in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (any such Taxes, “Transfer Taxes”), except to the extent such Transfer Taxes may not be assessed pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to prepare and timely deliver any certificate or instrument necessary for a party hereto to claim a bulk sale or other exemption from Transfer Taxes otherwise payable.

4.15 Taxation.

(a) The parties intend that the Merger in conjunction with the Plan will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall use their reasonable best efforts (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts) to cause the Merger (together with the Plan) to so qualify. Neither American nor US Airways shall take, cause or permit to be taken, or fail to take,

any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, which action or failure to act would disqualify the Merger (together with the Plan) as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) Each of American, US Airways and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other in obtaining opinions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to US Airways, and Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to American and Merger Sub, to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5.2(d) and 5.3(d). US Airways and American (on its behalf and on behalf of Merger Sub) shall execute and deliver to each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to US Airways, and Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to American and Merger Sub, certificates substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits E and F at such time or times as reasonably requested by each such law firm in connection with its delivery of the opinion referred to in Section 5.2(d) or Section 5.3(d), as the case may be. Prior to the Effective Time, none of American, US Airways or Merger Sub shall take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue any of the representations in such certificates. The parties will take the position for all Tax purposes that the Merger (together with the Plan) qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless a contrary position is required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

(c) The parties intend that the “ownership change” of American within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code resulting from the consummation of the Merger and the implementation of the Plan qualify for relief under Section 382(l)(5) of the Code, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to so qualify. Accordingly, the parties shall utilize the procedures in that certain Bankruptcy Court order establishing notification procedures for substantial claimholders, dated January 27, 2012, as amended or revised prior to or, with the reasonable approval of US Airways, after the date hereof (the “Notification Procedures Order”), to obtain Notices of Substantial Claimholder Status (as defined in the Notification Procedures Order) and, if the parties so determine in accordance with such Notification Procedures Order, to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of appropriate Sell Down Notices (as defined in the Notification Procedures Order). In furtherance of the foregoing and to protect against multiple “ownership changes” of US Airways, US Airways shall adopt, effective upon the execution of this Agreement, a rights plan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to American, to minimize the likelihood that any additional Persons or group of Persons acting together become “5% shareholders” of US Airways within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code and that any existing such “5% shareholders” increase their ownership, other than pursuant to the Plan.

4.16 Stock Exchange Listing and De-listing. American shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Newco Common Stock to be authorized for listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ upon official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date, and American shall use its reasonable best efforts to have Newco’s trading symbol reflect the American Airlines brand after the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation shall cause the shares of US Airways Common Stock to be no longer listed on the NYSE or the principal securities market on which the shares of US Airways Common Stock are then listed or quoted and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

4.17 Reservation of Newco Common Stock. Effective at such time as the Newco Charter shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 1.6(a), Newco shall reserve (free from preemptive rights) out of its authorized but unissued or treasury shares of Newco Common Stock, sufficient shares of Newco Common Stock to effect the issuance of shares of Newco Common Stock under Section 2.1 and upon the exercise of Converted US Airways Options and Converted US Airways Equity Awards or the conversion of the Converted US Airways 7.25% Convertible Notes and Converted US Airways 7% Convertible Notes.

4.18 Transition Planning. In order to facilitate the integration of the operations of American and US Airways and their respective Subsidiaries and to permit the coordination of their related operations on a timely basis, and in an effort to accelerate to the earliest time practicable following the Effective Time the realization of synergies, operating efficiencies and other benefits expected to be realized by the parties as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, American and US Airways shall establish a committee (the “Transition Committee”) to be managed by the chief executive officers of each of American and US Airways and with such other members as they shall mutually agree, which Transition Committee shall have responsibility for coordinating and directing the efforts of the parties with respect to (a) the integration of operations and fleet plan of American and US Airways and their respective Subsidiaries, (b) obtaining the required consents and approvals from Governmental Entities as contemplated by Section 4.7, (c) communications, public relations and investor relations strategy and approach of the parties regarding the Plan, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (other than any party’s actions in respect of an American Acquisition Proposal or a US Airways Acquisition Proposal, respectively) and (d) other business and operational matters, including the financing needs of Newco and its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, to the extent not in violation of applicable Laws, including Laws regarding the exchange of information and other laws regarding competition. The Creditors’ Committee shall have the right to have up to two designees from the UCC’s Advisors attend meetings of the Transition Committee.

4.19 Section 16(b). American and US Airways shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated hereby and any other dispositions of shares of US Airways Common Stock or acquisitions of Newco Common Stock in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of US Airways to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

4.20 Approval of Plan; Confirmation Order.

4.21 US Airways Equity Plans.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Boards of Directors of US Airways (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the US Airways Equity Plans) and American shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the following as of the Effective Time:

(i) US Airways Options and US Airways SARs.

(A) (i) Each US Airways Option and each US Airways Stock-Settled SAR outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into an option (each, a “Converted US Airways Option”) or stock-settled stock appreciation right (each, a “Converted US Airways Stock-Settled SAR”), as applicable, to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such US Airways Option or US Airways Stock-Settled SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time, a number of shares of Newco Common Stock equal to the number of shares of US Airways Common Stock subject to such US Airways Option or US Airways Stock-Settled SAR, at an exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of US Airways Common Stock under such US Airways Option or US Airway Stock-Settled SAR; provided, however, in the case of any US Airways Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification (as an “incentive stock option”) under either Section 422 or 424 of the Code, the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner that complies with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(B) Each US Airways Cash-Settled SAR outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into a cash-settled stock appreciation right (each, a “Converted US Airways Cash-Settled SAR”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such US Airways Cash-Settled SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount of cash determined by reference to the number of shares of Newco Common Stock equal to the number of shares of US Airways Common Stock referenced by such US Airways Cash-Settled SAR, at an exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of US Airways Common Stock under such US Airways Cash-Settled SAR.

(C) In each of Sections 4.21(a)(i)(A) and (B) above, each US Airways Option and each US Airways SAR shall be adjusted in a manner which complies with Section 409A of the Code and that causes the resulting Converted US Airways Option, Converted US Airways Cash-Settled SAR or Converted US Airways Stock-Settled SAR not to constitute the grant of a new option or stock appreciation right or a change in the form of payment of an option or stock appreciation right, as provided under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D).

(ii) US Airways RSUs.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either American or US Airways pursuant to Section 6.2(c), if (A) prior to such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c), a bona fide American Acquisition Proposal that satisfies the last proviso of Section 4.3(a)(ii) (a “Covered American Proposal”) shall have been made to American or any of its Subsidiaries or its creditors and shall have become publicly known or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Covered American Proposal with respect to American or any of its Subsidiaries (and such Covered American Proposal or publicly announced intention shall not have been withdrawn prior to the time of the solicitation of the votes on the Plan contemplated by Section 4.20), and (B) following such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c), any Person (other than US Airways) consummates, in one transaction or any series of related transactions within 18 months of such termination, or enters into an agreement with American within 18 months of such termination for, a transaction that is a Covered American Proposal, then American shall promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date such Covered American Proposal is consummated or such Covered American Proposal is entered into, pay to US Airways a termination fee of $135,000,000 (the “American No Vote Transaction Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds.

(b) American shall, promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date of termination, pay to US Airways a termination fee of $135,000,000 (the “American Alternative Transaction Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds, in the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by US Airways pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or (d);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by American in accordance with Section 6.4(b); or

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by US Airways pursuant to Section 6.3(e).

(c) American shall, promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date of termination, pay to US Airways a termination fee of $195,000,000 (the “American Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by US Airways pursuant to Section 6.3(a) with respect to any Knowing Material Breach of any representation or warranty made by American or any Deliberate Material Breach of any covenant or agreement by American.

(d) American and US Airways acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 6.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, US Airways and American would not enter into this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of American and US Airways acknowledge and agree that (i) the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee, if paid, shall not constitute either a penalty or liquidated damages, (ii) prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, US Airways’ right to specific performance under Section 7.15 or its right to terminate this Agreement and receive payment, if payable, of the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 6.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of US Airways and its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives against American and its Subsidiaries, the Debtors or their estates, and their respective affiliates and Representatives, under this Agreement or arising out of or related to this Agreement (or the termination hereof or thereof) or the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment thereof) or any matter related thereto or forming the basis therefor and (iii) from and after the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, US Airways’ right to receive payment, if payable, of the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 6.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of US Airways and its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives against American and its Subsidiaries, the Debtors or their estates, and their respective affiliates and Representatives, under this Agreement or arising out of or related to this Agreement (or the termination hereof or thereof) or the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment thereof) or any matter related thereto or forming the basis therefor. Upon payment of the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee to US Airways in accordance with this Agreement, (x) none of American or its Subsidiaries, the Debtors or their estates, or their respective affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement (or the termination hereof or thereof) or the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment thereof) or any matter related thereto or forming the basis therefor, in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise, and (y) none of US Airways or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates or

100

Representatives shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against American or its Subsidiaries, the Debtors or their estates, or their respective affiliates or Representatives arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, US Airways’ election to terminate this Agreement and receive payment, if payable, of the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 6.7, shall be in lieu of its right to specific performance under Section 7.15.

(e) If American fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 6.7, and, in order to obtain such payment, US Airways commences a suit which results in a judgment against American for the payment of any such amount due pursuant to this Section 6.7, American shall pay to US Airways the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of US Airways in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount, and any such costs and expenses, at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. In no event shall US Airways be entitled to receive more than one of (x) the American No Vote Transaction Fee, (y) the American Alternative Transaction Fee or (z) the American Termination Fee, and in no event shall US Airways be entitled to receive any of the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee or the American Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(f) American’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.7, including American’s obligations to pay the American No Vote Transaction Fee, the American Alternative Transaction Fee and the American Termination Fee, as applicable, shall constitute an allowed administrative expense of American.

7.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto), the American Disclosure Letter, the US Airways Disclosure Letter, the Amended and Restated Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, between US Airways and American, relating to the information to be provided by American to US Airways (the “US Airways NDA”) and the Amended and Restated Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, between US Airways and American, relating to the information to be provided by US Airways to American (the “American NDA” and together with the US Airways NDA, as they may be amended, amended and restated, modified or provisions thereof waived,

105

the “Non-Disclosure Agreements”) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

7.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 4.12 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies whatsoever; provided, however, the Creditors’ Committee is explicitly named as a third party beneficiary solely as to the provisions of this Agreement expressly granted to the Creditors’ Committee or the UCC’s Advisors hereunder, with the right to enforce such provisions subject to the terms hereof.

7.10 Obligations of American and of US Airways. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of American to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of American to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of US Airways to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of US Airways to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

7.11 Definitions. Each of the terms set forth in Annex A is defined in the Section of this Agreement set forth opposite such term.

7.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

7.13 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of, or Annex or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The term “made available” and words of similar import means that the relevant documents, instruments or materials were either (A) posted and made available to the other party or its designated Representatives on the Intralinks due diligence data site, with respect to American, or on the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ due diligence data site, with respect to US Airways, as applicable, maintained by either

106

company for the purpose of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) publicly available by virtue of the relevant party’s filing of a publicly available final registration statement, prospectus, report, form, schedule or definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, in each case, prior to the date such documents, instruments or materials were represented by a party to have been made available to the other party.

(b) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Each of American and US Airways has or may have set forth information in its respective disclosure letter in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of a disclosure letter need not be set forth in any other section of the disclosure letter so long as its relevance to the latter section of the disclosure letter or section of the Agreement is readily apparent on the face of the information disclosed in the disclosure letter to the Person to which such disclosure is being made. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “American Material Adverse Effect,” “US Airways Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

(d) The phrase “ordinary course of business” and words of similar import shall mean, when used with respect to American or its Subsidiaries, the ordinary course of business of American or its Subsidiaries as conducted prior to the commencement of the Cases (it being understood that the fact that the Debtors may seek Bankruptcy Court approval of any matter shall not, in and of itself, constitute a determination that such matter is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement).

7.14 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio.

7.15 Specific Performance. American, US Airways and Merger Sub agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto fail to perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specified terms or to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise breach such provisions. American, US Airways and Merger Sub agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including specific performance in connection with enforcing a party’s obligation to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each of American, US Airways and

107

Merger Sub agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief consistent with this Section 7.15 on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law. A party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.15 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the “DGCL”).

ARTICLE IV

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

SECTION 1. Authorized Capital Stock.

(a) The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,850,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

(b) The number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

SECTION 2. Common Stock. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall have such rights as are set forth in the DGCL and, to the extent consistent therewith, such rights as are set forth below:

(a) Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), each holder of record of shares of Common Stock on the relevant record date shall be entitled to cast one vote in person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock standing in such holder’s name on the stock transfer records of the Corporation with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. There shall be no cumulative voting. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing Directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon shall constitute a quorum of the Common Stock for the purpose of electing Directors by holders of the Common Stock.

(b) Dividends. Subject to any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation and the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation when, as and if declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time in respect of the Common Stock out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

(c) Liquidation, Dissolution, etc. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution after payments to creditors in proportion to the number of shares held by them, after payment of any preferential and other amounts, if any, to which any holders of Preferred Stock may be entitled.

(d) Merger, etc. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), the holders of each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the same per share consideration on a per share basis.

(e) No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive rights.

SECTION 3. Preferred Stock.

(a) Issuance of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized at any time, and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such voting powers, full or limited, or without voting powers and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue thereof adopted by the Board of Directors, including (but without limiting the generality thereof) the following:

(i) The designation of such series and the number of shares authorized thereunder;

(ii) The dividend rate of such series, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, the relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock, and whether such dividend shall be cumulative or non-cumulative;

(iii) Whether the shares of such series shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation and, if made subject to such redemption, the times, prices and other terms and conditions of such redemption;

(iv) The terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the purpose or redemption of the shares of such series;

(v) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation, and, if provision be made for conversion or exchange, the times, prices, rates, adjustments, and other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

(vi) The extent, if any, to which the holders of the shares of such series shall be entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors or otherwise;

(vii) The restrictions, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional Preferred Stock; and

(viii) The rights of the holders of the shares of such series upon the dissolution of, or upon the distribution of assets of, the Corporation.

(b) No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to preemptive rights.

SECTION 4. Power to Sell and Purchase Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Corporation shall have the power to issue and sell all or any part of any shares of any class or series of stock herein or hereafter authorized to such persons, and for such consideration, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time, in its discretion, determine, whether or not greater consideration could be received upon the issue or sale of the same number of shares of another class or series, and as otherwise permitted by law. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Corporation shall have the power to purchase any shares of any class or series of stock herein or hereafter authorized from such persons, and for such consideration, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time, in its discretion, determine, whether or not less consideration could be paid upon the purchase of the same number of shares of another class or series, and as otherwise permitted by law.

SECTION 5. Non-Citizen Voting and Ownership Limitations. All (x) capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Corporation, (y) securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock, voting securities or other equity interests in the Corporation, or (z) options, warrants or other rights to acquire the securities described in clauses (x) and (y), whether fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, contractual, legal, equitable or otherwise (collectively, “Equity Securities”) shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Non-Citizen Voting and Ownership Limitations. In no event shall individuals or entities who fail to qualify as a “citizen of the United States,” as the term is defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended, in any similar legislation of the United States enacted in substitution or replacement therefor, and as interpreted by the Department of Transportation, its predecessors and successors, from time to time (a “Non-Citizen”), be entitled to own (beneficially or of record) or have voting control over more than (x) 24.9% of the aggregate votes of all outstanding Equity Securities of the Corporation (the “Voting Cap Amount”) or (y) 49.9% of the total number of outstanding shares of Equity Securities of the Corporation (“the Absolute Cap Amount” and together with the Voting Cap Amount, the “Cap Amounts”).

(b) Enforcement of Cap Amounts. The restrictions imposed by the Cap Amounts shall be applied to each Non-Citizen in reverse chronological order based upon the date of registration (or attempted registration in the case of the Absolute Cap Amount) on the separate stock record maintained by the Corporation or any transfer agent for the registration of Equity Securities held by Non-Citizens (the “Foreign Stock Record”) or the stock transfer records of the

Corporation. At no time shall the shares of Equity Securities held by Non-Citizens be voted, unless such shares are registered on the Foreign Stock Record. In the event that Non-Citizens shall own (beneficially or of record) or have voting control over any Equity Securities, the voting rights of such persons shall be subject to automatic suspension to the extent required to ensure that the Corporation is in compliance with applicable provisions of law and regulations relating to ownership or control of a United States air carrier. In the event that any transfer of Equity Securities to a Non-Citizen would result in Non-Citizens owning (beneficially or of record) more than the Absolute Cap Amount, such transfer shall be void and of no effect and shall not be recorded in the books and records of the Corporation. The Bylaws shall contain provisions to implement this Section 5, including, without limitation, provisions restricting or prohibiting the transfer of Equity Securities to Non-Citizens and provisions restricting or removing voting rights as to shares of Equity Securities owned or controlled by Non-Citizens. Any determination as to ownership, control or citizenship made by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive and binding as between the Corporation and any stockholder.

(c) Legend for Equity Securities. Each certificate or other representative document for Equity Securities (including each such certificate or representative document for Equity Securities issued upon any permitted transfer of Equity Securities) shall contain a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE [TYPE OF EQUITY SECURITIES] REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE/REPRESENTATIVE DOCUMENT] ARE SUBJECT TO VOTING RESTRICTIONS WITH RESPECT TO [SHARES/WARRANTS, ETC.] HELD BY PERSONS OR ENTITIES THAT FAIL TO QUALIFY AS “CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES” AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED BY RELEVANT LEGISLATION. SUCH VOTING RESTRICTIONS ARE CONTAINED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF AMR CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COMPLETE AND CORRECT COPY OF SUCH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION SHALL BE FURNISHED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SHARES OF [TYPE OF EQUITY SECURITIES] UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF AMR CORPORATION.”

SECTION 6. Restrictions on Transfer of Securities.

(iv) the date selected by the Board if the Board determines that the limitation amount imposed by section 382 of the Tax Code as of such date in the event of an “ownership change” of the Corporation (as defined in section 382 of the Tax Code) would not be materially less than the net operating loss carryforwards or “net unrealized built-in loss” (within the meaning of section 382 of the Tax Code) of the Corporation; and

(b) Prohibited Transfers. Any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities prior to the Restriction Release Date, or any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Restriction Release Date, shall be prohibited and void ab initio insofar as it purports to transfer ownership or rights in respect of such stock to the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (a “Purported Transferee”) (i) if the transferor is a Substantial Stockholder or such Transfer results in a decrease in the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Substantial Stockholder or (ii) to the extent that, as a result of such Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part), either (1) any Person (including any group of Persons) shall become a Substantial Stockholder other than by reason of Treasury Regulation section 1.382-2T(j)(3) or any successor to such regulation or (2) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest of any Substantial Stockholder shall be increased; provided, however, that this Section 6(b) shall not apply to, nor shall any other provision in this Certificate of Incorporation prohibit, restrict or limit in any way, the Transfer of Corporation Securities in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger among AMR Corporation, US Airways Group, Inc. and AMR Merger Sub, Inc. dated as of February 13, 2013 and the distribution of Corporation Securities pursuant to the [Plan of Reorganization]³; provided, further, that the restrictions in Section 6(b)(i) shall no longer apply following the date that is three years and six months following the Effective Date. Nothing in this Section 6 shall preclude the settlement of any transaction with respect to the Corporation Securities entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange; provided, however, that the Corporation Securities and parties involved in such transaction shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section 6 in respect of such transaction. Unless a transferor that is not a Substantial Stockholder at the time of the Transfer has actual knowledge that a Transfer by it is prohibited by this Section 6, (i) such transferor shall have no liability to the Corporation in respect of any losses or damages suffered by the Corporation as a result of such Transfer and the Corporation shall have no cause of action or rights against such transferor in respect of such losses or damages, and (ii) such transferor shall have no liability to the respective transferee in respect of any losses or damages suffered by such transferee by virtue of the operation of this Section 6.

(i) The restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) shall not apply to an attempted Transfer (1) if the transferor or the transferee obtains the prior written approval of the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof in accordance with Section 6(c)(ii) below, or (2) if such Transfer is made as part of: (A) certain transactions approved by the Board of Directors, including, but not limited to, a merger or consolidation in which all holders of Common Stock receive, or are offered the same opportunity to receive, cash or other consideration for all such Common Stock, and upon the consummation of which the acquirer will own at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (B) a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase Corporation Securities, (C) a purchase program effected by the Corporation on the open market and not the result of a privately-negotiated transaction, or (D) any optional or required redemption by the Corporation of a Corporation Security pursuant to the terms of such security.

³	Plan title and brief description to be inserted here.

(ii) The restrictions contained in this Section 6 are for the purposes of reducing the risk that any “ownership change” (as defined in the Tax Code) with respect to the Corporation may limit the Corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits. In connection therewith, and to provide for effective policing of these provisions, any Person who desires to effect an otherwise Prohibited Transfer (a “Requesting Person”) shall, prior to the date of such transaction for which the Requesting Person seeks authorization (the “Proposed Transaction”), request in writing (a “Request”) that the Board review the Proposed Transaction and authorize or not authorize the Proposed Transaction in accordance with this Section 6(c). A Request shall be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal place of business. Such Request shall be deemed to have been received by the Corporation when actually received by the Corporation. A Request shall include: (1) the name, address and telephone number of the Requesting Person; (2) the number and Percentage Stock Ownership of Corporation Securities (by type) then beneficially owned by the Requesting Person; (3) a reasonably detailed description of the Proposed Transaction or Proposed Transactions for which the Requesting Person seeks authorization; and (4) a request that the Board authorize the Proposed Transaction pursuant to this Section 6(c). The Board shall, in good faith, endeavor to respond to each Request within twenty (20) business days of receiving such Request; provided, however, that the failure of the Board to respond during such twenty (20) day period shall not be deemed to be a consent to the Transfer. The Board may authorize a Proposed Transaction unless the Board determines in good faith that the Proposed Transaction, considered alone or with other transactions (including, without limitation, past transactions or contemplated transactions), would create a material risk that the Corporation’s Tax Benefits may be jeopardized. Any determination by the Board not to authorize a Proposed Transaction shall cause such Proposed Transaction to be deemed a Prohibited Transfer. The Board may impose any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection with authorizing any Proposed Transaction. In addition, the Board may require an affidavit or representations from such Requesting Person or opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by the Requesting Person (and reasonably acceptable to the Board), in each case, as to such matters as the Board may reasonably determine with respect to the preservation of the Tax Benefits. Any Requesting Person who makes a Request to the Board shall reimburse the Corporation, within 30 days of demand therefor, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation with respect to any Proposed Transaction, including, without limitation, the Corporation’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in determining whether to authorize the Proposed Transaction, which costs may include, but are not limited to, any expenses of counsel and/or tax advisors engaged by the Board to advise the Board or deliver an opinion thereto. The Board may require, as a condition to its consideration of the Request, that the Requesting Person execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation providing for the reimbursement of such costs and expenses. Any authorization of the Board hereunder may be given prospectively or retroactively.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine that the restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) shall not apply to any particular transaction or transactions, whether or not a request has been made to the Board, including a Request pursuant to this Section 6(c), subject to any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection therewith. Any determination of the Board hereunder may be made prospectively or retroactively. Following 180 days after the Effective Date, the Board will undertake a review of whether any general exception to the disposition restrictions in Section 6(b)(i) is appropriate.

(iv) The Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this Section 6 through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 6(c) shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(d) Legend; Notation. The Board may require that any certificates representing shares of Corporation Securities issued prior to the Restriction Release Date shall contain a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form, evidencing the restrictions set forth in this Section 6:

“THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED AND RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME (THE “CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION”), CONTAINS CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS PROHIBITING THE TRANSFER (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION) OF CORPORATION SECURITIES (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION), INCLUDING COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, WITHOUT THE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION IF SUCH TRANSFER MAY AFFECT THE PERCENTAGE OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 382 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (THE “CODE”) AND THE TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER) THAT IS TREATED AS OWNED BY A “SUBSTANTIAL STOCKHOLDER” AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION. A COMPLETE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION SHALL BE FURNISHED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF AMR CORPORATION.”

The Corporation shall have the power to make appropriate notations upon its stock transfer records and to instruct any transfer agent, registrar, securities intermediary or depository with respect to the requirements of this Section 6 for any uncertificated Corporation Securities or Corporation Securities held in an indirect holding system, and the Corporation shall provide notice of the restrictions on transfer and ownership to holders of uncertificated shares in accordance with applicable law.

(e) Treatment of Excess Securities.

(i) No officer, employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the Purported Transferee shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Excess Securities. Until the Excess Securities are acquired by another Person in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. For this purpose, any transfer of Excess Securities not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(e) shall also be a Prohibited Transfer.

(ii) If the Board determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii), then, upon written demand by the Corporation, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any Prohibited Distributions, to the Agent. The Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s-length transactions (over the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which the Corporation Securities may be traded, if possible, or otherwise privately); provided, however, that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s demand to surrender Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 6(e)(iv) if the Agent rather than the Purported Transferee had resold the Excess Securities.

(iii) If the Board determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(i), the purported transferor of such Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferor”) shall, upon written demand by the Corporation, deliver to the Agent the sales proceeds from the Prohibited Transfer (in the form received, i.e., whether in cash or other property), and the Agent shall thereupon sell any non-cash consideration to a buyer or buyers in one or more arm’s-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange, if possible). If the Purported Transferee is determinable (other than with respect to a transaction entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange) and any Excess Securities have not been resold, the Agent (after deducting amounts necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection

with its duties hereunder) shall, to the extent possible, return the Excess Securities and Prohibited Distributions to the Purported Transferor, and shall reimburse the Purported Transferee from the sales proceeds received from the Purported Transferor (or the proceeds from the disposition of any non-cash consideration) for the cost of any Excess Securities. If the Purported Transferee is not determinable, or to the extent the Excess Securities have been resold and thus cannot be returned to the Purported Transferor, the Agent (after deducting amounts necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder) shall use the proceeds to acquire on behalf of the Purported Transferor, in one or more arm’s-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange on which the Corporation Securities may be traded, if possible), an equal amount of Corporation Securities in replacement of the Excess Securities sold; provided, however, that, to the extent the amount of proceeds is not sufficient to fund the purchase price of such Corporation Securities and the Agent’s costs and expenses, the Purported Transferor shall promptly fund such amounts upon demand by the Agent. Any remaining amounts held by the Agent shall be paid in accordance with Section 6(e)(iv)(C).

(iv) The Agent shall apply any proceeds or any other amounts received by it in accordance with Section 6(e)(ii) as follows: (A) first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder; (B) second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or in the case of any Prohibited Transfer by gift, devise or inheritance or any other Prohibited Transfer without consideration, the fair market value, (1) calculated on the basis of the closing market price for the Corporation Securities on the day before the Prohibited Transfer, (2) if the Corporation Securities are not listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter market, calculated based upon the difference between the highest bid and lowest asked prices, as such prices are reported by the relevant inter-dealer quotation service or any successor system on the day before the Prohibited Transfer or, if none, on the last preceding day for which such quotations exist, or (3) if the Corporation Securities are neither listed nor admitted to trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market, then as determined in good faith by the Board), which amount (or fair market value) shall be determined at the discretion of the Board; and (C) third, any remaining amounts, subject to the limitations imposed by the following proviso, shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code (or any comparable successor provision) selected by the Board; provided, however, that if the Excess Securities (including any Excess Securities arising from a previous Prohibited Transfer not sold by the Agent in a prior sale or sales) represent a 4.75% or greater Percentage Stock Ownership in any class of Corporation Securities, then any such remaining amounts to the extent attributable to the disposition of the portion of such Excess Securities exceeding a 4.75% Percentage Stock Ownership interest in such class shall be paid to two or more organizations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code selected by the Board, such that no organization qualifying under section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code shall be deemed to possess a Percentage Stock Ownership in excess of 4.74%. The recourse of any Purported Transferee in respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence. In no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) inure to the benefit of the Corporation.

(v) In the event of any Transfer that does not involve a transfer of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Delaware law (“Securities,” and individually, a “Security”) but which would cause a Substantial Stockholder to violate a restriction on Transfers provided for in Section 6(b), the application of Sections 6(e)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be modified as described in this Section 6(e)(v). In such case, no such Substantial Stockholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Security, but such Substantial Stockholder and/or any Person whose ownership of Securities is attributed to such Substantial Stockholder shall (x) in the case of Section 6(e)(ii), be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Securities (which Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such Substantial Stockholder, following such disposition, not to be in violation of this Section 6, and (y) in the case of Section 6(e)(iii), follow the process as reasonably determined by the Board to cause such Substantial Stockholder to remedy or mitigate its violation of Section 6(b)(i). Such disposition or process shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and in the case of clause (x) in the preceding sentence, such number of Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Sections 6(e)(ii) and 6(e)(iv), except that the maximum aggregate amount payable either to such Substantial Stockholder, or to such other Person that was the direct holder of such Excess Securities, in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer. All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Securities shall be paid out of any amounts due such Substantial Stockholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 6(e)(v) is to extend the restrictions in Sections 6(b), 6(e)(ii), and 6(e)(iii) to situations in which there is a Prohibited Transfer without a direct Transfer of Securities, and this Section 6(e)(v), along with the other provisions of this Section 6, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities.

(vi) If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to Section 6(e)(ii) or (iii), then the Corporation shall use its best efforts to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Section 6(e)(vi) shall (A) be deemed to be inconsistent with any Transfer of the Excess Securities provided in this Section 6 to be void ab initio, or (B) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand. The Board may authorize such additional actions as it deems advisable to give effect to the provisions of this Section 6.

(vii) The Corporation shall make the written demand described in Section 6(e)(ii) or (iii), as applicable, within 30 days of the date on which the Board determines that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Securities; provided, however, that, if the Corporation makes such demand at a later date, the provisions of Section 6 shall apply nonetheless. No failure by the Corporation to act within the time periods set forth in Section 6(e) shall constitute a waiver or loss of any right of the Corporation under this Section 6.

(f) Obligation to Provide Information. At the request of the Corporation, any Person that is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Corporation Securities, and any proposed transferor or transferee and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed transferor or transferee, shall provide such information as the Corporation may reasonably request as may be necessary from time to time in order to determine compliance with this Section 6 or the status of the Corporation’s Tax Benefits. In furtherance thereof, as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Corporation Securities, and any proposed Transferee and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed Transferee, shall provide an affidavit containing such information as the Corporation may reasonably request from time to time in order to determine compliance with this Section 6 or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation.

(g) Board Authority.

(i) The Board shall have the power to interpret or determine in its sole discretion all matters necessary for assessing compliance with this Section 6, including, without limitation, (i) the identification of Substantial Stockholders, (ii) whether a Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) whether to exempt a Transfer, (iv) the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Substantial Stockholder, (v) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (vi) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (B) of Section 6(e)(iv), and (vii) any other matters which the Board determines to be relevant; and the good faith determination of the Board on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all the purposes of this Section 6.

(ii) In addition, the Board may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind bylaws, regulations and procedures of the Corporation not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6 for purposes of determining whether any Transfer of Corporation Securities would jeopardize the Corporation’s ability to preserve and use the Tax Benefits and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of this Section 6.

(iii) Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall limit the authority of the Board to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and its stockholders in preserving the Tax Benefits. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a change in law making one or more of the following actions necessary or desirable, the Board may, by adopting a written resolution, (A) modify the ownership interest percentage in the Corporation or the Persons covered by this Section 6, (B) modify the definitions of any terms set forth in this Section 6 or (C) modify the terms of this Section 6 as appropriate, in each case, in

order to prevent an ownership change for purposes of section 382 of the Tax Code as a result of any changes in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise; provided, however, that the Board shall not cause there to be such modification unless it determines, by adopting a written resolution, that such action is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the Tax Benefits or that the continuation of these restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary for the preservation of the Tax Benefits. Stockholders of the Corporation shall be notified of such determination through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or such other method of notice as the Secretary of the Corporation shall deem appropriate.

(iv) In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 6, including any definition used herein, the Board shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event this Section 6 requires an action by the Board but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Section 6. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the Board in good faith shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties for all other purposes of this Section 6. The Board may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Section 6 to a committee of the Board as it deems necessary or advisable and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this Section 6 through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(h) Reliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer, the Secretary or the corporate controller of the Corporation or of the Corporation’s legal counsel, independent auditors, transfer agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by this Section 6, and the members of the Board shall not be responsible for any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owned by any stockholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities.

(i) Benefits of this Section 6. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Section 6. This Section 6 shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.

(j) Severability. The purpose of this Section 6 is to facilitate the Corporation’s ability to maintain or preserve its Tax Benefits. If any provision of this Section 6 or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Section 6.

(k) Waiver. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent under this Section 6, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party, and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.

ARTICLE I

Offices

The registered office of the Corporation shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

ARTICLE II

Meetings of Stockholders

SECTION 1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, at which meeting the stockholders shall elect a Board of Directors pursuant to Article III hereof and may transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting in accordance with Section 7 of this Article II.

SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may only be called by either (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iii) the Board of Directors. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is hereby specifically denied.

SECTION 3. Location of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders for any purpose may be held, within or without the State of Delaware, at such time and place as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

¹	The name of the corporation will be changed to American Airlines Group Inc. in a subsequent amendment also to be implemented in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization.

SECTION 4. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall cause to be prepared a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, at the election of the Corporation, either: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

SECTION 5. Voting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders, other than the election of Directors, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of the Corporation’s capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, voting as a single class. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, each stockholder entitled to vote shall, at every meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy (as described below) for each share of voting stock held by him. Such right to vote shall be subject to the right of the Board of Directors to fix a record date for voting stockholders as hereinafter provided. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the Officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders, in such Officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

SECTION 6. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the

proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the Secretary or a person designated by the Secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

(a) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(b) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information, on which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

SECTION 7. Nature of Business at Meetings of Stockholders.

(a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) brought before the meeting by the Board of Directors and specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Article II, Section 7 and at the time of

the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (3) has complied with this Article II, Section 7 in all applicable respects, or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”). The foregoing clause (ii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. Stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders, and the only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting pursuant to Article II, Section 2. For purposes of this Article II, Section 7, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or, if the proposing stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be, if such proposing stockholder is (i) a general or limited partnership, any general partner or person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership, (ii) a trust, any trustee of the trust, or (iii) a corporation, limited liability company or other entity, any officer or person who functions as an officer of the corporation, limited liability company or other entity or any officer, director, general partner or person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation, limited liability company or other entity. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors must comply with Article III, Sections 2 and 7, and this Article II, Section 7 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Article III, Sections 2 and 7.

For purposes of this Article II, Section 7, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation or associate (each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for purposes of these Bylaws) of such stockholder or beneficial owner and (iv) any other person with whom such stockholder or such beneficial owner (or any of their respective associates or other participants in such solicitation) is Acting in Concert (as defined below).

A person shall be deemed to be “Acting in Concert” with another person for purposes of these Bylaws if such person knowingly acts (whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, arrangement or understanding) in concert or in parallel with, or towards a common goal with such other person, relating to changing or influencing the control of the Corporation or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, where (A) each person is conscious of the other person’s conduct and this awareness is an element in their decision-making processes and (B) at least one additional factor suggests that such persons intend to act in concert or in parallel, which such additional factors may include, without limitation, exchanging information (whether publicly or privately), attending meetings, conducting discussions, or making or soliciting invitations to act in concert or in parallel; provided, that a person shall not be deemed to be Acting in Concert with any other person solely as a result of the solicitation or receipt of (1) revocable proxies or consents from such other person in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a proxy or consent solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A or (2) tenders of securities from such other person in a public tender or exchange offer made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act by means of a tender offer statement filed on Schedule TO. A person Acting in Concert with another person shall be deemed to be Acting in Concert with any third party who is also Acting in Concert with such other person.

(d) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Article II, Section 7 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement

thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with this Article II, Section 7. If the chairman of the meeting determines that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Article II, Section 7, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business shall not be considered or transacted.

(f) This Article II, Section 7 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. In addition to the requirements of this Article II, Section 7 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Article II, Section 7 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(g) For purposes of these Amended and Restated Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given, which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.

A quorum, once established,

shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice until a quorum shall be present or represented.

SECTION 10. Adjournment. The chairman of the meeting may adjourn any meeting of the stockholders from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 8 of this Article II shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

SECTION 11. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

SECTION 12. Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by Section 4 of this Article II or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders. For these purposes, the stock ledger shall include the Foreign Stock Record described in Article XIII of these Bylaws and all the provisions of Article XIII governing the maintenance and use of the Foreign Stock Record.

SECTION 13. Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate.

for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

SECTION 14. Inspectors of Meeting. In advance of any meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors, by resolution, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, inspectors may be Officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law and shall take charge of the polls and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by applicable law.

For purposes of this Article III, Section 2, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, (iii) any associate of such stockholder or beneficial owner or any other participant in such solicitation, and (iv) any other person with whom such stockholder or such beneficial owner (or any of their respective associates or other participants in such solicitation) is Acting in Concert.

(e) In addition to the requirements of this Article III, Section 2 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.

SECTION 3. Term; Vacancies; Election. Each Director shall hold office until the next annual election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. The Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders in the manner specified by these Bylaws. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director. Each Director to be elected by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such Director by the shares represented and entitled to vote therefor at a meeting of the stockholders for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present (an “Election Meeting”); provided, however, that if the Board of Directors determines that the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected at such meeting (a “Contested Election”), and the Board of Directors has not rescinded such determination by the record date of the Election Meeting as initially announced, each of the Directors to be elected at the Election Meeting shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares represented and entitled to vote at such meeting with respect to the election of such Director. For purposes of this Article III, Section 3, a “majority of votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a candidate for Director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that Director (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast as either “for” or “against” such Director’s election). In an election other than a Contested Election, stockholders will be given the choice to cast votes “for” or “against” the election of Directors or to “abstain” from such vote and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote with respect to such election of Directors. In a Contested Election, stockholders will be given the choice to cast “for” or “withhold” votes for the election of Directors and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote

with respect to such election of Directors. In the event an Election Meeting involves the election of Directors by separate votes by class or classes or series, the determination as to whether an election constitutes a Contested Election shall be made on a class by class or series by series basis, as applicable.

SECTION 4. Powers of Directors. The business, property and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 5. Compensation. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of Directors.

SECTION 6. Resignations of Directors. Any Director of the Corporation may resign at any time, by giving notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect when delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Unless otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

SECTION 7. Additional Requirements For Valid Nomination of Candidates to Serve as Director and, If Elected, to Be Seated as Directors.

(a) To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a Director of the Corporation at an annual or special meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Article III, Section 2 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board of Directors or by a stockholder of record:

(i) must have previously delivered (in accordance with the time period prescribed for delivery in a notice to such candidate given by or on behalf of the Board of Directors), to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (i) a completed written questionnaire (in a form provided by the Corporation) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (ii) a written representation and agreement (in form provided by the Corporation) that such candidate for nomination (A) is not a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and will not give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a Director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question and (B) if elected as a Director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to Directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a Director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and guidelines then in effect);

(ii) must not serve on the boards of more than five other public companies, and any candidate who is a chief executive officer of a public company must not serve on more than two other public company boards, unless in each case the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in advance that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of such candidate to effectively serve on the Board of Directors; and

(iii) must be under age 75.

(b) The Board of Directors may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Board of Directors in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon in order for the Board of Directors to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent Director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

(c) No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a Director of the Corporation by a stockholder of record unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with Article III, Sections 2 and 7, as applicable. No candidate for nomination nominated by the Board of Directors shall be eligible for nomination as a Director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination has provided all information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to Article III, Sections 2 and 7 as if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Article III, Section 2 and this Section 7, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots case for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with this Article III, Section 7, as determined by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

SECTION 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the

Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

SECTION 3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Director or Officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director or Officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a Committee of such Directors designated by a majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former Directors and

Officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former Director or Officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

SECTION 4. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VI, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the Officers of the Corporation or officers of another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VI, as the case may be.

SECTION 5. Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VI, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Director or Officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VI. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Director or Officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VI nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Director or Officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Director or Officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

SECTION 6. Expenses Payable in Advance. Subject to applicable law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former Director or Officer of the Corporation, or a current or former Director or Officer serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or

investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI. Subject to applicable law, such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

SECTION 7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Article VI shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VI shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VI but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise, including pursuant to Section 12 of this Article VI.

SECTION 8. Insurance. The Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

SECTION 9. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VI, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article VI shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Article VI, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and

references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director or Officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VI.

SECTION 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or Officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 11. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 of this Article VI), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any current or former Director or Officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

SECTION 12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VI to Directors and Officers of the Corporation.

SECTION 13. Amendment or Repeal. The provisions of this Article VI shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a Director or Officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these Bylaws), in consideration of such person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article VI the Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former Director or Officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former Directors and Officers of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article VI are present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of these Bylaws. With respect to any Directors or Officers of the Corporation who commence service following adoption of these Bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such Director or Officer commencing service as a Director or Officer of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or

advancement of expenses to an Officer or Director of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VIII

Stock

SECTION 1. Certificates. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its capital stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. To the extent certificates are issued, every holder of certificated shares of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a stock certificate signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation (i) by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and (ii) by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such stockholder in the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures on a stock certificate may be a facsimile, either engraved or printed. The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint and maintain one or more transfer agents and registrars of transfers, which may be the same agency or agencies, and may require all certificates to bear the signatures of one (1) of such transfer agents and one (1) of such registrars of transfers, or as the Board of Directors may otherwise direct. The stock certificates of the Corporation, if any, shall bear the seal of the Corporation or shall bear a facsimile of such seal engraved or printed.

In case any Officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any certificate or certificates of stock, shall have ceased to be an Officer, transfer agent or registrar, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates is issued and delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such Officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

SECTION 2. Lost Certificates. If a certificate of stock is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, direct a new certificate or uncertificated shares to be issued by the Corporation in its stead upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the giving of a satisfactory bond of indemnity, in an amount sufficient to indemnify the

Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares. A certificate or uncertificated shares may be issued without requiring bond when, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is proper to do so.

SECTION 3. Transfers. Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the stock records of the Corporation or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of any certificate therefor, properly endorsed for transfer (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares) and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which the Officers of the Corporation shall determine to waive such requirement. Every certificate exchanged, returned or surrendered to the Corporation shall be marked “Cancelled,” with the date of cancellation, by the Secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.

SECTION 4. Dividend Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

SECTION 5. Stockholders of Record. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE IX

Notices

SECTION 1. Notices. Whenever written notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed to such stockholder, at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States

mail. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission if consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed to be revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices by the Corporation in accordance with such consent, and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission, as described above, shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network, together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Notice to Directors or Committee members may be given personally, by mail as described above, or by telegram, telex, cable or by means of electronic transmission.

SECTION 2. Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to be given to any Director, member of a Committee or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of stockholders or any regular or special meeting of the Directors or members of a Committee of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

ARTICLE XIII

Limitations of Ownership by Non-Citizens

SECTION 1. Equity Securities. All (a) capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Corporation, (b) securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock, voting securities or other equity interests in the Corporation, or (c) options, warrants or other rights to acquire the securities described in clauses (a) and (b), whether fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, contractual, legal, equitable or otherwise

(collectively, “Equity Securities”) shall be subject to limitations set forth in this Article XIII.

SECTION 2. Non-Citizen Voting and Ownership Limitations. It is the policy of the Corporation that, consistent with the requirements of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended, or as the same may be from time to time amended (the “Aviation Act”), that any person or entity who is not a “citizen of the United States” (as defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of the Aviation Act and administrative interpretations issued by the Department of Transportation, its predecessors and successors, from time to time), including any agent, trustee or representative of such person or entity (a “Non-Citizen”), shall not own (beneficially or of record) and/or control more than (a) 24.9% of the aggregate votes of all outstanding Equity Securities of the Corporation (the “Voting Cap Amount”) or (b) 49.9% of the number of outstanding shares of Equity Securities of the Corporation (the “Absolute Cap Amount” and, together with the Voting Cap Amount, the “Cap Amounts”). If Non-Citizens nonetheless at any time own and/or control more than the Voting Cap Amount, the voting rights of the Equity Securities in excess of the Voting Cap Amount shall be automatically suspended in accordance with Section 3 below. Further, if at any time a transfer of Equity Securities to a Non-Citizen would result in Non-Citizens owning more than the Absolute Cap Amount, such transfer shall be void and of no effect, in accordance with Section 3 below.

SECTION 3. Foreign Stock Record. The Corporation or any transfer agent shall maintain a separate stock record, designated the “Foreign Stock Record,” for the registration of Equity Securities held by Non-Citizens. It is the duty of each stockholder who is a Non-Citizen to register his, her or its Equity Securities on the Foreign Stock Record. The beneficial ownership of Equity Securities by Non-Citizens shall be determined in conformity with regulations prescribed by the Board of Directors. The Foreign Stock Record shall include (i) the name and nationality of each Non-Citizen and (ii) the date of registration of such Equity Securities in the Foreign Stock Record. In no event shall Equity Securities registered on the Foreign Stock Record representing more than the Voting Cap Amount be voted. In the event that Non-Citizens shall own (beneficially or of record) or have voting control over any Equity Securities, the voting rights of such persons shall be subject to automatic suspension to the extent required to ensure that the Corporation is in compliance with applicable provisions of law and regulations relating to ownership or control of a United States air carrier. Voting rights of Equity Securities owned (beneficially or of record) by Non-Citizens shall be suspended in reverse chronological order based upon the date of registration in the Foreign Stock Record. In the event that any transfer of Equity Securities to a Non-Citizen would result in Non-Citizens owning (beneficially or of record) more than the Absolute Cap Amount, such transfer shall be void and of no effect and shall not be recorded in the Foreign Stock Record or the stock records of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation shall determine that the Equity Securities registered on the Foreign Stock Record or the stock records of the Corporation exceed the Absolute Cap Amount, sufficient shares shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record and the stock records of the Corporation so that the number of shares entered therein does not exceed the Absolute Cap Amount. Shares of Equity Securities shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record and the stock records of the Corporation in reverse chronological

order based on the date of registration in the Foreign Stock Record and the stock records of the Corporation.

SECTION 4. Registration of Shares. A Non-Citizen, may request, in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, that the Corporation register ownership of shares held by such Non-Citizen on the Foreign Stock Record and the Corporation shall comply with such request, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3. The order in which such shares shall be registered on the Foreign Stock Record shall be chronological, based on the date the Corporation received a written request to so register such shares; provided, that any Non-Citizen who purchases or otherwise acquires shares that are registered on the Foreign Stock Record, may register such shares in its own name within 30 days of such acquisition, in which event such Person will assume the position of the seller of such shares in the chronological order of shares registered on the Foreign Stock Record.

SECTION 5. Certification of Shares. (a) The Corporation may by notice in writing (which may be included in the form of proxy or ballot distributed to stockholders in connection with the annual meeting or any special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, or otherwise) require a person that is a holder of record of shares or that the Corporation knows to have, or has reasonable cause to believe has beneficial ownership of shares to certify in such manner as the Corporation shall deem appropriate (including by way of execution of any form of proxy or ballot of such person) that, to the knowledge of such person:

(1) all shares as to which such person has record ownership or beneficial ownership are owned and controlled only by citizens of the United States; or

(2) the number of shares of record or beneficially owned by such person that are owned and/or controlled by Non-Citizens is as set forth in such certificate.

(b) With respect to any shares identified in response to clause (a)(2) above, the Corporation may require such person to provide such further information as the Corporation may reasonably require in order to implement the provisions of this Article XIII.

(c) For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article XIII with respect to any shares, in the event of the failure of any person to provide the certificate or other information to which the Corporation is entitled pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation shall presume that the shares in question are owned and/or controlled by Non-Citizens.
