Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways”) and AMR Corporation (“AMR”) announced that US Airways and AMR had settled the litigation brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the States of Arizona, Florida, Michigan and Tennessee, the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the District of Columbia (together, the “Plaintiff States”) challenging the proposed merger between AMR and US Airways under federal antitrust law (the “DOJ and State AG Action”). AMR and US Airways also announced that they had entered into an Agreement regarding Merger between US Airways Group, Inc. and AMR Corporation (the “DOT Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Transportation (the “DOT”) related to small community service from Washington Reagan National Airport (“DCA”).

In connection with the settlement of the DOJ and State AG Action, US Airways and AMR entered into an Asset Preservation Order and Stipulation (the “Asset Preservation Order”) by and among US Airways, AMR, the United States of America, the DOJ and the Plaintiff States pursuant to which the parties to the Asset Preservation Order filed with the Court (i) a Proposed Final Judgment (the “Proposed Final Judgment”); (ii) a Joint Stipulation of the Plaintiff States and Defendants Requesting Entry of Supplemental Stipulated Order (the “Joint Stipulation”) by and among US Airways, AMR and the Plaintiff States; and (iii) a Supplemental Stipulated Order (the “Supplemental Stipulated Order”) by and among US Airways, AMR and the Plaintiff States, each dated as of November 12, 2013 (collectively, the “Settlement Documents”). Together, the Settlement Documents resolve all claims and disputes among the parties asserted in the DOJ and State AG Action. Pursuant to the Settlement Documents, US Airways and AMR agreed to divest certain rights and assets (the “Divestiture Assets”) consisting of 52 slot pairs at DCA, 17 slot pairs at New York LaGuardia Airport, and associated gates and related ground facilities necessary to operate those slot pairs, and two gates each at Boston Logan International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles International Airport and Miami International Airport. US Airways and AMR also agreed to take all steps necessary to ensure that their respective Divestiture Assets are maintained until the divestitures required by the Settlement Documents have been accomplished. In addition, US Airways and AMR committed the combined company to, for specified periods of time and subject to certain conditions, (i) maintain in a manner generally consistent with historical operations its hubs at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Miami International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and (ii) provide daily scheduled service from one or more hubs to certain airports that had such service at the time the DOJ and State AG Action was commenced. Pursuant to the DOT Agreement, US Airways and AMR committed the combined company to utilize DCA commuter slots held by the combined company for service from DCA to small, medium and non-hub airports (as defined in the DOT Agreement) at certain levels set forth in the DOT Agreement, for a period of five years.

The foregoing descriptions of the Settlement Documents and the DOT Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

The lease-back period may be extended at the sole discretion of the Acquirer(s), with the approval of the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States.

8


gates at LGA to the extent such relocation does not unduly disrupt Defendants’ operations.

5. Following the divestiture of the LGA Slots, if requested by the Acquirer(s), Defendants shall lease the LGA Slots from the Acquirer for no consideration for a period not to exceed 180 calendar days. Defendants shall continue to operate the LGA Slots during this lease-back period at a level sufficient to prevent the LGA Slots from reverting to the Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to 71 Fed. Reg. 77,854 (Dec. 27, 2006), as extended by 78 Fed. Reg. 28, 279 (Oct. 24, 2013).

H. The Court orders the divestiture of the Key Airport Gates and Facilities, to proceed as follows:

I. In accomplishing the divestiture ordered by this Final Judgment, Defendants promptly shall make known, by usual and customary means, the availability of the Divestiture Assets to Acquirer(s). Defendants shall inform any such person contacted regarding a possible purchase of the Divestiture Assets that they are being divested pursuant to this Final Judgment and provide that person with a copy of this Final Judgment. Defendants shall offer to furnish to all prospective Acquirers, subject to customary confidentiality assurances, all information and documents relating to the Divestiture Assets customarily provided in a due diligence process except such information or documents subject to the attorney-client privileges or work-product doctrine. Defendants shall make available such information to the United States at the same time that such information is made available to any other person.

J. As part of their obligations under paragraph IV.I. above, Defendants shall permit prospective Acquirers of the Divestiture Assets to have reasonable access to: (i) personnel; (ii) the physical facilities of the Divestiture Assets to make reasonable inspections; (iii) all environmental, zoning, and other permit documents and information; and (iv) all financial, operational, or other documents and information customarily provided as part of a due diligence process.

 

10


K. Defendants shall warrant to the Acquirer(s) that each asset will be operational on the date of transfer.

L. Defendants shall not take any action that will impede in any way the permitting, operation, or divestiture of the Divestiture Assets.

N. Unless the United States otherwise consents in writing, the divestiture pursuant to Section IV or V shall include the entire Divestiture Assets, and shall be accomplished in such a way as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, that the Divestiture Assets can and will be used by the Acquirer(s) as part of a viable, ongoing business, engaged in providing scheduled air passenger service in the United States. Divestiture of the Divestiture Assets may be made to Acquirers, provided that in each instance it is demonstrated to the sole satisfaction of the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, that the Divestiture Assets will remain viable and the divestiture of such assets will remedy the competitive harm alleged in the Complaint. The divestiture, whether pursuant to Section IV or Section V of this Final Judgment, shall be:

1. made to an Acquirer(s) that, in the United States’ sole judgment, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, has the intent and capability (including the

 

11


necessary managerial, operational, technical and financial capability) to compete effectively in the business of providing scheduled airline passenger service; and

2. accomplished so as to satisfy the United States in its sole discretion, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, that none of the terms of any agreement between an Acquirer(s) and Defendants gives Defendants the ability unreasonably to raise the Acquirer’s costs, to lower the Acquirer’s efficiency, or otherwise to interfere in the ability of the Acquirer(s) to effectively compete.

V. APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE TO EFFECT DIVESTITURE

A. If Defendants have not divested the Divestiture Assets within the time periods specified in Sections IV.A. – IV.D., Defendants shall notify the United States and the Plaintiff States of that fact in writing. Upon application of the United States, the Court shall appoint a Divestiture Trustee selected by the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, and approved by the Court to divest the Divestiture Assets in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment.

B. After the appointment of a Divestiture Trustee becomes effective, only the Divestiture Trustee shall have the right to sell the Divestiture Assets, including any arrangements related to Associated Ground Facilities. The Divestiture Trustee shall have the power and authority to accomplish the divestiture to an Acquirer(s) acceptable to the United States in its sole discretion, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, at such price and on such terms as are then obtainable upon reasonable effort by the Divestiture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section IV, V, and VI of this Final Judgment, and shall have such other powers as this Court deems appropriate.

 

12


C. Subject to Section V.E. of this Final Judgment, the Divestiture Trustee may hire at the reasonable cost and expense of Defendants any investment bankers, attorneys, or other agents, who shall be solely accountable to the Divestiture Trustee, reasonably necessary in the Divestiture Trustee’s judgment to assist in the divestiture.

D. Defendants shall not object to a sale by the Divestiture Trustee on any ground other than the Divestiture Trustee’s malfeasance. Any such objections by Defendants must be conveyed in writing to the United States, the Plaintiff States and the Divestiture Trustee within ten (10) calendar days after the Divestiture Trustee has provided the notice required under Section VI.A.

E. The Divestiture Trustee shall serve at the cost and expense of Defendants, pursuant to a written agreement with Defendants on such terms and conditions as the United States approves, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, and shall account for all monies derived from the sale of the assets sold by the Divestiture Trustee and all costs and expenses so incurred. After approval by the Court of the Divestiture Trustee’s accounting, including fees for its services and those of any professionals and agents retained by the Divestiture Trustee, all remaining money shall be paid to Defendants and the trust shall then be terminated. The compensation of the Divestiture Trustee and any professionals and agents retained by the Divestiture Trustee shall be reasonable in light of the value of the Divestiture Assets and based on a fee arrangement providing the Divestiture Trustee with an incentive based on the price and terms of the divestiture and the speed with which it is accomplished, but timeliness is paramount.

F. Defendants shall use their best efforts to assist the Divestiture Trustee in accomplishing the required divestiture. The Divestiture Trustee and any consultants,

 

13


accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the Divestiture Trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities of the business to be divested, and Defendants shall develop financial and other information relevant to such business as the Divestiture Trustee may reasonably request, subject to reasonable protection for trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information. Defendants shall take no action to interfere with or to impede the Divestiture Trustee’s accomplishment of the divestiture.

G. After its appointment, the Divestiture Trustee shall file monthly reports with the United States, the Plaintiff States, and the Court setting forth the Divestiture Trustee’s efforts to accomplish the divestiture ordered under this Final Judgment. To the extent such reports contain information that the Divestiture Trustee or Defendants deem confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. Such reports shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each person who, during the preceding month, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring any interest in the Divestiture Assets, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person. The Divestiture Trustee shall maintain full records of all efforts made to divest the Divestiture Assets.

H. If the Divestiture Trustee has not accomplished the divestiture ordered under this Final Judgment within six (6) months after its appointment, the Divestiture Trustee shall promptly file with the Court a report setting forth (1) the Divestiture Trustee’s efforts to accomplish the required divestiture, (2) the reasons, in the Divestiture Trustee’s judgment, why the required divestiture has not been accomplished, and (3) the

 

14


Divestiture Trustee’s recommendations. To the extent such reports contain information that the Divestiture Trustee deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. The Divestiture Trustee shall at the same time furnish such report to the Defendants and to the United States, which shall have the right to make additional recommendations consistent with the purpose of the trust. The Court thereafter shall enter such orders as it shall deem appropriate to carry out the purpose of the Final Judgment, which may, if necessary, include extending the trust and the term of the Divestiture Trustee’s appointment by a period requested by the United States.

VI. NOTICE OF PROPOSED DIVESTITURES

A. Within two (2) business days following execution of a definitive divestiture agreement, Defendants or the Divestiture Trustee, whichever is then responsible for effecting the divestitures required herein, shall notify the United States and the Plaintiff States, of any proposed divestitures required by Section IV or V of this Final Judgment. If the trustee is responsible, it shall similarly notify Defendants. The notice shall set forth the details of the proposed divestitures and list the name, address, and telephone number of each person not previously identified who offered or expressed an interest in or desire to acquire any ownership interest in the Divestiture Assets, together with full details of the same.

B. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the United States of such notice, the United States, in its sole discretion, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, may request from Defendants, the proposed Acquirer(s), any other third party, or the Divestiture Trustee, if applicable, additional information concerning the proposed divestitures, the proposed Acquirer(s), and any other potential Acquirer(s). Defendants

 

15


and the Divestiture Trustee shall furnish any additional information requested to the United States within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of the request, unless the parties otherwise agree.

C. Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the notice, or within twenty (20) calendar days after the United States has been provided the additional information requested from Defendants, the proposed Acquirer(s), any third party, and the trustee, whichever is later, the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, shall provide written notice to Defendants and/or the Divestiture Trustee, stating whether it objects to the proposed divestitures. If the United States provides written notice that it does not object, the divestitures may be consummated, subject only to the Defendants’ limited right to object to the sale under Section V.D. of this Final Judgment. Absent written notice that the United States does not object to the proposed Acquirer(s) or upon objection by the United States, a divestiture proposed under Section IV or Section V shall not be consummated. Upon objection by Defendants under Section V.D., a divestiture proposed under Section V shall not be consummated unless approved by the Court.

VII. MONITORING TRUSTEE

A. Upon the filing of this Final Judgment, the United States may, in its sole discretion, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, appoint a Monitoring Trustee, subject to approval by the Court.

B. The Monitoring Trustee shall have the power and authority to monitor Defendants’ compliance with the terms of this Final Judgment, and shall have such powers as this Court deems appropriate. The Monitoring Trustee shall be required to

 

16


investigate and report on the Defendants’ compliance with this Final Judgment and the Defendants’ progress toward effectuating the purposes of this Final Judgment.

C. Subject to Section VII.E of this Final Judgment, the Monitoring Trustee may hire at the cost and expense of Defendants, any consultants, accountants, attorneys, or other persons, who shall be solely accountable to the Monitoring Trustee, reasonably necessary in the Monitoring Trustee’s judgment.

D. Defendants shall not object to actions taken by the Monitoring Trustee in fulfillment of the Monitoring Trustee’s responsibilities under this Final Judgment or any other Order of this Court on any ground other than the Monitoring Trustee’s malfeasance. Any such objections by Defendants must be conveyed in writing to the United States, the Plaintiff States, and the Monitoring Trustee within ten (10) calendar days after the action taken by the Monitoring Trustee giving rise to the Defendants’ objection.

E. The Monitoring Trustee shall serve at the cost and expense of Defendants, pursuant to a written agreement with Defendants on such terms and conditions as the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States, approves. The compensation of the Monitoring Trustee and any consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the Monitoring Trustee shall be on reasonable and customary terms commensurate with the individuals’ experience and responsibilities. The Monitoring Trustee shall, within three (3) business days of hiring any consultants, accountants, attorneys, or other persons, provide written notice of such hiring and the rate of compensation to Defendants.

F. The Monitoring Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation for the operation of Defendants’ businesses.

 

17


G. Defendants shall use their best efforts to assist the Monitoring Trustee in monitoring Defendants’ compliance with their individual obligations under this Final Judgment. The Monitoring Trustee and any consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the Monitoring Trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities relating to compliance with this Final Judgment, subject to reasonable protection for trade secret or confidential research, development, or commercial information or any applicable privileges. Defendants shall take no action to interfere with or to impede the Monitoring Trustee’s accomplishment of its other responsibilities. The Monitoring Trustee shall, within three (3) business days of hiring any consultants, accountants, attorneys, or other persons, provide written notice of such hiring and the rate of compensation to Defendants.

H. After its appointment, the Monitoring Trustee shall file reports every ninety (90) days, or more frequently as needed, with the United States, the Plaintiff States, the Defendants and the Court setting forth the Defendants’ efforts to comply with their individual obligations under this Final Judgment. To the extent such reports contain information that the trustee deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court.

I. The Monitoring Trustee shall serve until the completion of the divestitures required by Sections IV and V of this Final Judgment, including any lease back period pursuant to Section IV.F.5. or IV.G.5.

X. AFFIDAVITS

A. Within twenty (20) calendar days of entry of the Court entering the Asset Preservation Order and Stipulation in this matter, and every thirty (30) calendar days thereafter until the divestiture has been completed under Section IV or V, Defendants shall deliver to the United States and the Plaintiff States an affidavit as to the fact and manner of its compliance with Section IV or V of this Final Judgment. Each such affidavit shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each person who, during the that first twenty (20) calendar days or, thereafter, the preceding thirty (30) calendar days, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring, any interest in the Divestiture Assets, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person during that period. Each such affidavit shall also include a description of the efforts defendants have taken to solicit buyers for the Divestiture Assets, and to provide required information to prospective Acquirers, including the limitations, if any, on such

 

19


information. Assuming the information set forth in the affidavit is true and complete, any objection by the United States to information provided by Defendants, including limitation on information, shall be made within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of such affidavit.

B. Within twenty (20) calendar days of the Court entering the Asset Preservation Order and Stipulation in this matter, Defendants shall deliver to the United States an affidavit that describes in reasonable detail all actions defendants have taken and all steps Defendants have implemented on an ongoing basis to comply with Section IX of this Final Judgment. Defendants shall deliver to the United States an affidavit describing any changes to the efforts and actions outlined in Defendants’ earlier affidavits filed pursuant to this section within fifteen (15) calendar days after the change is implemented.

C. Defendants shall keep all records of all efforts made to preserve and divest the Divestiture Assets until one year after such divestiture has been completed.

XI. COMPLIANCE INSPECTION

A. For the purposes of determining or securing compliance with this Final Judgment, or of any related orders such as any Asset Preservation Order, or of determining whether the Final Judgment should be modified or vacated, and subject to any legally recognized privilege, from time to time authorized representatives of the United States Department of Justice, including consultants and other persons retained by the United States, shall, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division, and on reasonable notice to Defendants, be permitted:

 

20


(1) access during Defendants’ office hours to inspect and copy, or at the option of the United States, to require Defendants to provide hard copy or electronic copies of, all books, ledgers, accounts, records, data, and documents in the possession, custody, or control of Defendants, relating to any matters contained in this Final Judgment; and

(2) to interview, either informally or on the record, Defendants’ officers, employees, or agents, who may have their individual counsel present, regarding such matters. The interviews shall be subject to the reasonable convenience of the interviewee and without restraint or interference by Defendants.

B. Upon the written request of an authorized representative of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division, Defendants shall submit written reports or response to written interrogatories, under oath if requested, relating to any of the matters contained in this Final Judgment as may be requested.

C. No information or documents obtained by the means provided in this section shall be divulged by the United States to any person other than an authorized representative of the executive branch of the United States, except in the course of legal proceedings to which the United States is a party (including grand jury proceedings), or for the purpose of securing compliance with this Final Judgment, or as otherwise required by law.

D. If at the time information or documents are furnished by Defendants to the United States, Defendants represent and identify in writing the material in any such information or documents to which a claim of protection may be asserted under Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Defendants mark each pertinent

 

21


page of such material, “Subject to claim of protection under Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,” then the United States shall give Defendants ten (10) calendar days notice prior to divulging such material in any legal proceeding (other than a grand jury proceeding).

XII. NO REACQUISITION

Defendants shall not reacquire any interest in any part of the Divestiture Assets divested under this Final Judgment during the term of this Final Judgment. Nothing in this Final Judgment shall prevent Defendants from engaging in trades, exchanges, or swaps involving Divestiture Assets with an Acquirer, provided such arrangements do not increase Defendants’ percentage of slots operated or held or gates operated or held at the airport in question, except that, consistent with industry practice, Defendants may temporarily operate slots for periods of no more than two consecutive months at the request of the Acquirer. Nothing in this Section XII shall prevent Defendants from acquiring additional slots, gates or facilities, other than the Divestiture Assets, at DCA, LGA or the Key Airports subject to the notification requirement in Section XIII.A. Nothing in this Section shall prevent Defendants from cooperating in gate or facility re-locations in the ordinary course of the airport operator’s business, including re-locating to the Divestiture Assets, provided the Acquirer of those gates is offered alternative gates and Associated Ground Facilities from the airport operator.

XIII. NOTIFICATION OF FUTURE TRANSACTIONS

A. Unless such transaction is otherwise subject to the reporting and waiting period requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18a (the “HSR Act”), Defendants shall not acquire any interest in

 

22


any slot at DCA that was in use at the completion of the Transaction without providing notice to the United States at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the acquisition, provided however that this reporting requirement shall not apply to transactions that do not result in an increase in Defendants’ percentage of slots operated or held at DCA. Defendants shall maintain a record of any non-reportable transactions and shall provide such record to the United States promptly upon request.

B. Any notification provided pursuant to Section XIII.A. above shall be provided in the same format as required by the HSR Act, and shall include the names of the principal representatives of the parties to the transaction who negotiated the agreement and any management or strategic plans discussing the proposed transaction. If within the 30-day period after notification the United States makes a written request for additional information regarding the transaction, Defendants shall not consummate the proposed transaction or agreement until thirty (30) calendar days after submitting all such additional information. Early termination of the waiting periods in this paragraph may be requested and, where appropriate, granted in a similar manner as applicable under the requirements and provisions of the HSR Act and rules promulgated thereunder.

C. All references to the HSR Act in this Final Judgment refer to the HSR Act as it exists at the time of the transaction or agreement and incorporate any subsequent amendments to the HSR Act.

XIV. BANKRUPTCY

For purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, and codified as 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et. seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any analogous provision under any law of any foreign or domestic, federal, state, provincial, local,

 

23


municipal or other governmental jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (“Foreign Bankruptcy Law”), (a) no sublease or other agreement related to the Divesture Assets will be deemed to be an executory contract, and (b) if for any reason a sublease or other agreement related to the Divesture Assets is deemed to be an executory contract, the Defendants shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Acquirer(s) shall be protected in the continued enjoyment of its right under any such agreement including, acceptance of such agreement or any underlying lease or other agreement in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of Foreign Bankruptcy Law.

XV. RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

This Court retains jurisdiction to enable any party to this Final Judgment to apply to this Court at any time for further orders and directions as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out or construe this Final Judgment, to modify any of its provisions, to ensure and enforce compliance, and to punish violations of its provisions.

XVI. EXPIRATION OF FINAL JUDGMENT

Unless this Court grants an extension, this Final Judgment shall expire ten (10) years from the date of its entry.

The Proposed Final Judgment filed in this case is meant to ensure Defendants’ prompt divestiture of the Divestiture Assets in order to remedy the effects that Plaintiffs allege would otherwise result from the merger of American and US Airways. If approved by the Court, the Proposed Final Judgment would fully resolve the United States’ claim in this antitrust lawsuit. This Stipulation and Order ensures, prior to such divestitures, that the Divestiture Assets are maintained during the pendency of the ordered divestitures.

III. JURISDICTION

The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action and over each of the parties hereto, and venue is proper in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

IV. COMPLIANCE WITH AND ENTRY OF THE FINAL JUDGMENT

A. The parties stipulate that a Final Judgment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A may be filed with and entered by the Court, upon the motion of any party or upon the Court’s own motion, at any time after compliance with the requirements of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act (“APPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 16, and without further notice to any party or other proceedings, provided that the United States has not withdrawn its consent, which it may do at any time before the entry of the proposed Final Judgment by serving notice thereof on Defendants and by filing that notice with the

 

4


Court. Defendants agree to arrange, at their expense, publication as quickly as possible of the newspaper notice required by the APPA, which shall be drafted by the United States in its sole discretion. The publication shall be arranged no later than three (3) business days after Defendants’ receipt from the United States of the text of the notice and the identity of the newspaper within which the publication shall be made. Defendants shall promptly send to the United States (1) confirmation that publication of the newspaper notice has been arranged, and (2) the certification of the publication prepared by the newspaper within which the notice was published.

B. Defendants shall abide by and comply with the provisions of the proposed Final Judgment, pending the Judgment’s entry by the Court, or until expiration of time for all appeals of any Court ruling declining entry of the proposed Final Judgment, and shall, from the date of the signing of this Stipulation by the parties, comply with all the terms and provisions of the proposed Final Judgment. The United States shall have the full rights and enforcement powers in the proposed Final Judgment as though the same were in full force and effect as an order of the Court.

C. Defendants shall not consummate the transaction sought to be enjoined by the Complaint herein before the Court has signed this Stipulation and Order.

D. This Stipulation shall apply with equal force and effect to any amended proposed Final Judgment agreed upon in writing by the parties and submitted to the Court.

E. In the event that (1) the United States has withdrawn its consent, as provided in Section IV(A) above, or (2) the proposed Final Judgment is not entered pursuant to this Stipulation, the time has expired for all appeals of any Court ruling

 

5


declining entry of the proposed Final Judgment, and the Court has not otherwise ordered continued compliance with the terms and provisions of the proposed Final Judgment, then the parties are released from all further obligations under this Stipulation, and the making of this Stipulation shall be without prejudice to any party in this or any other proceeding.

F. Defendants represent that the divestitures ordered in the proposed Final Judgment can and will be made, and that Defendants will later raise no claim of mistake, hardship, or difficulty of compliance as grounds for asking the Court to modify any of the provisions contained therein.

V. ASSET PRESERVATION AGREEMENT

Until the divestitures required by the Final Judgment have been accomplished:

A. Defendants shall take all steps necessary to ensure that their respective Divestiture Assets will be maintained. Defendants shall not cause the wasting or deterioration of their respective divestiture assets, nor shall they cause the Divestiture Assets to be operated in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws, nor shall they sell, transfer, encumber, or otherwise impair the viability, marketability or competitiveness of their respective Divestiture Assets. With respect to the DCA Slots and the LGA Slots, Defendants will operate the slots at a level sufficient to prevent any slot from reverting to the Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 93.227 (DCA) or 71 Fed. Reg. 77,854 (Dec. 27, 2006), as extended by 78 Fed. Reg. 28, 279 (Oct. 24, 2013)(LGA).

B. Defendants shall take all steps necessary to ensure that their respective Divestiture Assets are fully maintained in operable condition, and shall maintain and

 

6


adhere to normal upgrade, repair and maintenance schedules for their respective Divestiture Assets.

E. Defendants shall take no action that would interfere with the ability of any Divestiture Trustee appointed pursuant to the Final Judgment to complete the divestitures pursuant to the Final Judgment to an Acquirer or Acquirers acceptable to the United States, in consultation with the Plaintiff States.

F. Defendants shall provide sufficient working capital and lines and sources of credit to continue to maintain the Divestiture Assets as economically viable and competitive, ongoing businesses, consistent with the requirements of Sections V (A) and (B).

G. Defendants shall appoint a person or persons to oversee the Divestiture Assets, and who will be responsible for Defendants’ compliance with this section. This person shall have complete managerial responsibility for the Divestiture Assets, subject to the provisions of this Final Judgment. In the event such person is unable to perform his duties, Defendants shall appoint, subject to the approval of the United States, a replacement within ten (10) working days. Should defendants fail to appoint a

 

7


replacement acceptable to the United States within this time period, the United States shall appoint a replacement.

VI. DURATION OF ASSET PRESERVATION AGREEMENT

Defendants’ obligations under Section V. of this Stipulation and Order shall remain in effect until (1) consummation of the divestitures required by the proposed Final Judgment or (2) further order of the Court. If the United States voluntarily dismisses the Complaint in this matter, Defendants are released from all further obligations under this Stipulation and Order.

VII. STAY OF LITIGATION

Entry of this Stipulation and Order shall stay all deadlines established by the Scheduling and Case Management Order (Doc. 71) and Trial Procedures Order (Doc. 128) or amendments to same, pending further order of the court, if any.

ORDER

Exhibit 10.5

Agreement regarding Merger Between

US Airways Group, Inc. and AMR Corporation

Agreement regarding Merger

Between US Airways Group, Inc. and AMR Corporation

 

  I. Purpose

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways), AMR Corporation (AMR) and AMR Merger Sub, Inc., dated February 13, 2013, as amended, the parties have agreed to a merger (Merger) to form a new airline group (New American). The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shares the interest of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in preserving competition ( United States v. US Airways Group, Inc . (D.D.C.)). In addition to maintaining competition, it is imperative that any airline merger serves the broader interest of the traveling public. This is at the core of DOT’s mission. To protect this compelling interest, US Airways and AMR agree to maintain service to Medium, Small and Non-hub airports from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in accordance with the terms set out in this Agreement.

 

  II. Parties

The parties to this Agreement are DOT, US Airways and AMR.

 

  III. DOT’s Mission and Objective

Over many decades, the airlines serving DCA have developed a pattern of service to communities of all sizes. The existing pattern of service at DCA reflects a delicate balance of federal, state and local interests – endorsed to a significant extent by Congress. DOT asserts that preserving nonstop service to a range of destinations from DCA, including Medium, Small, and Non-hub airports, is part of DOT’s statutory mission and the Administration’s transportation policy. DOT further asserts that nonstop air service links to DCA are essential for the continued economic vitality and growth of these communities. Importantly, DOT believes the goal of preserving nonstop service to small and medium-sized communities is wholly compatible with the goal of preserving competition.

 

  IV. New American’s Commitment

 

  A. US Airways and AMR agree that New American shall schedule all commuter slots held or operated by US Airways, AMR, or New American (collectively, New American entities) to serve Medium, Small and Non-hub airports for a term (Term) of five (5) years.

 

  1. The commuter slot holdings subject to this Agreement are all commuter slots held or operated by New American entities as of the date of execution of this Agreement by the signatories.

  2. The Term shall commence on the date of execution of this Agreement by the signatories and shall remain in effect for 5 calendar years from the date of execution.

 

  B. As used in this Agreement, “Medium,” “Small,” and “Non-hub” airports shall refer to those airports listed as such in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Calendar Year 2012 airport classifications (Attached hereto Appendix A).

 

  C. US Airways and AMR agree that, during the Term, New American shall schedule all DCA commuter slots held or operated by New American entities to serve Medium, Small, and Non-hub airports at percentages set out below.

 

  D. During the Term of this Agreement, New American entities shall schedule equal to at least 75% of its total commuter slot holdings at DCA, as defined above, to serve Small and Non-hub airports. The remaining commuter slots, up to 25% of all New American entities’ commuter slot holdings, shall be scheduled for service to Medium, Small, or Non-Hub airports.

 

  E. This Agreement does not require the New American entities to serve specific communities at DCA.

 

  F. US Airways and AMR agree that New American entities, upon DOT’s request, shall provide information reasonably necessary for DOT to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement. US Airways and AMR further agree that the New American entities shall provide requested information in a timely and complete manner.

 

  V. Disclosure

Upon execution of this Agreement by all signatories, this Agreement may be disclosed to the public by DOT, US Airways, AMR or New American.

 

  VI. Complete Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between and among DOT, US Airways, AMR and New American with respect to commuter slot holdings at DCA during the Term.

 

  VII. Effective Date

This Agreement shall take effect upon execution by the signatories; provided, however, that the commitments of US Airways and AMR in this Agreement are conditioned upon the closing of the merger.
