agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless
the obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.
Section 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Interest Advances shall be made in
one or more Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of one or more
written and completed Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I
attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
not exceeding the Maximum Commitment at such time and shall be used solely for
the payment when due of the interest on the Class A-1 Certificates at the Stated
Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall automatically reduce the
Maximum Commitment and the amount available to be borrowed hereunder by
9
subsequent Advances by the amount of such Interest Advance (subject to
reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). Upon repayment to the Liquidity
Provider in full of the amount of any Interest Advance made pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest thereon (as provided herein),
the Maximum Commitment shall be reinstated by the amount of such repaid Interest
Advance; provided, however, that the Maximum Commitment shall not be so
reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note Deficiency.
(b) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing if this
Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor
Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement
shall have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said Section 3.6(d)
within the time period specified in such Section by delivery to the Liquidity
Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the
form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Commitment at such time, and shall
be used to fund the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said
Section 3.6(d) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(c) A Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon a
downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's short-term unsecured debt rating issued
by either Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating (as provided for
in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the
Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the Liquidity
Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the
form of Annex III attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Commitment at such time, and shall
be used to fund the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said
Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(d) A Final Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by
the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to
Section 6.01 hereof by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and
completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV attached
hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to
the Maximum Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class A-1
Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of the Intercreditor
Agreement) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a "Notice of
Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b),
2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity
Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of
any Borrowing no later than 1:00 PM (New York
10
City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity
Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment
instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately
available funds, before 4:00 PM (New York City time) on such Business Day or on
such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of
Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 1:00 PM
(New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the
Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its
payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and
immediately available funds, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first
Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on
such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.
Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire
transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the
Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity
Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to
such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be
obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of
Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class A-1
Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or
rights to the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other
amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account;
provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the
Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.6(e) or
(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of
Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider
the fees set forth in the ABN AMRO Fee Letter.
Section 2.04. Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a)
Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount
is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A-1
Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced
to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give
11
notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the
Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower
to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the
Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance
hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the
Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and
irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance. Subject
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which
notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be
paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider
shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the
amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as
an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid
Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if (i) the Liquidity
Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more
Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility
or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease
to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an
Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may
be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the
purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of
Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the
repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such
Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given
to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced
hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A-1
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of
any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A-1
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-
12
Extension Advance, an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an
Applied Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter
(subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a
Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the
Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter
be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the
Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required
Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the
Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest
on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof)
is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account of any
amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.4(b) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement or
clause "fourth" of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount
being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing
the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of each
Provider Advance treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account
after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such
replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the
extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all
amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor
Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity
Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that
amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor
Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.6(f) of
the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in
accordance with the
13
terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the
Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and payable in accordance
with the Intercreditor Agreement or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor
Agreement, then in such manner as the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.
Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made
by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that
constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section 8.1 or
9.1, as the case may be, of the Participation Agreements and Section 6 of the
Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have
sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments
in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of
payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available
for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally
liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any
Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement
only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f)
of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date: Non-Extension Advance. No
earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then
effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Maturity Date for the Class A-1 Certificates), the
Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date for a
period of 364 days after the then effective Expiry Date (unless the obligations
of the Liquidity Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms
hereof). The Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than 40
days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date, whether,
in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity
Provider advises the Borrower on or before the 25th day prior to the Expiry Date
then in effect that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to
irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the 25th day
prior to the Expiry Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be so
extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the
Borrower shall be entitled on and after such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with
Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01. Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the
Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider
which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder
or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any
amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the
Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called
"Additional Costs"), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement
in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the
adoption or making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations,
directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity
Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or
regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank
or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
(a "Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such
Advances (other than Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities
of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or any deposits referred
to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making
or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances,
and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.
15
Section 3.02. Capital Adequacy. If (1) the adoption, after the date hereof,
of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation or
administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the
Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of general
applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes
a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an
increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity
Provider or any corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider, and such
increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and other
similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time
to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the
Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably
allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending
Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not,
in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital
required to be maintained by the bank and of the amount allocable to the
Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie
evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.
Section 3.03. Payments Free of Deductions. All payments made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions
or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed, excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded
taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded Taxes" and,
individually, as a "Non-Excluded Tax"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this
Agreement, the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any other such amounts payable under this
Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
16
Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be
otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to
the Borrower two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as
appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the
Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to
be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this
Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the
full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the
payment required under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in
connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by
applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after
deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the
full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or
deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder,
the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified
copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable
to such payment.
Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each
payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same
to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful
money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately
available funds, by wire transfer to ABN AMRO Bank New York, NY, ABA #
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account Name: ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Chicago Branch, Account #
650-001-1789-41, Reference: Atlas Air, Inc., 1999-1A-1.
Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base
Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on
the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment
17
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest
shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when
due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the
next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of
the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance)
or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance
on the next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall
pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid
principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance
(or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on
which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account to pay interest on the Class A-1 Certificates) to but excluding the date
such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied
Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account is
fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due
hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event
at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate
as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not
reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest
accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been
in effect.
(b) Each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as
provided in this Section. Each initial Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for
the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business
Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for
such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance. Each Applied
Provider Advance and a Final Advance that is deemed to have been made without
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be a LIBOR
Advance from the day such Advance is made; provided that the Borrower (at the
direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the
Controlling Party) may (x) convert an Unapplied Provider Advance or the Final
Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior
written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain an Unapplied Provider
Advance or the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a
conversion of
18
an Unapplied Provider Advance or the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under
Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if such Final Advance is
deemed to have been made without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.06, by requesting, prior to 11:00 AM on the first Business Day
immediately following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination
Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a
LIBOR Advance).
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a
rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of
such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in
arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution
Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the
amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions,
expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 3.00% until paid.
(f) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The
rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or
other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity Rate".
Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. From time to time and subject to the
successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section
6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon
the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of
Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI attached
hereto (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered to the
Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated
therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the
Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds
19
acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but
excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day
of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date
for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.

than any Expenses of the nature described in Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof
or in the ABN AMRO Fee Letter (regardless of whether indemnified against

incurred by or asserted against any Liquidity Indemnitee, in any way relating
to, resulting from, or arising out of or in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding by any third party against such Liquidity Indemnitee and relating to

is (i) attributable to the gross negligence or willful
25
misconduct of such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee, (ii)
ordinary and usual operating overhead expense, or (iii) attributable to the
failure by such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee to

the Participation Agreements, and the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03,

Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or affiliates
shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of the
Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any beneficiary or
transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or
forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity Provider against
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do not comply with
the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim
against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to
the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrower which were
the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider's willful misconduct or negligence in
determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof,
or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider's failure to
make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a
Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees,
director or affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any
error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of
any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or
any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction or
omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or
negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider's potential
liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately
preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of
Borrowing.
Section 7.07. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay, or
cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on
which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the Liquidity
Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any
other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B)
on demand, all reasonable
26
costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the
Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement or
any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment of, or
supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such other
documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or
not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action or proceeding relating
to any order, injunction, or other process or decree restraining or seeking to
restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting
the application of funds in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account. In addition,
the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and
fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution,
delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement
and such other documents, and agrees to save the Liquidity Provider harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.
Section 7.08. Binding Effect; Participations.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns,
except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this
Section 7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall
have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest
herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations
herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, funded
participations and participations in rights to receive interest payments
hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons as the
Liquidity Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such participation by the Liquidity
Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations
hereunder. In connection with any participation or any proposed participation,
the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the participant or the proposed
participant any information that the Borrower is required to deliver or to
disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider's source of funds may derive
in part from its participants (other than Atlas). Accordingly, references in
this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to determinations, reserve and
capital adequacy requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional
amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03(a) and the like as they pertain to the
Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its
participants (subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been
incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity
Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest participated).
27
(b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells any
participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a
"Transferee"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation,
the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of
the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it is incorporated
under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B) that under
applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with
respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI or Form W-8 BEN, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee's entitlement
to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax in respect to
any and all payments to be made hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit of
the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider and
the Borrower a new Form W-8 ECI or Form W-8 BEN, as appropriate, (A) on or
before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment
by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case of a Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8
ECI that such Transferee is entitled to a complete exemption from United States
federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower
has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and
required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not subject
to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold taxes as
required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the
Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances
owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
28
Section 7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7.11. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of
Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
in respect hereof or thereof, to the nonexclusive general
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the
courts of the United States of America for the Southern
District of New York, and the appellate courts from any
thereof;
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in
such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding
in any such court or that such action or proceeding was
brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or
claim the same;
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar
form and mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its
address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other
address of which the Liquidity Provider shall have been
notified pursuant thereto; and
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction.
(b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING
ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach
of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and
the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this
waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its
jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
29
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may have from the
jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or of any State and waives any
immunity any of its properties located in the United States may have from
attachment or execution upon a judgement entered by any such court under the
United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar successor
legislation.
Section 7.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall
be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Section 7.13. Entirety. This Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the
other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is a party constitute
the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of such parties.
Section 7.14. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 7.15. LIQUIDITY PROVIDER'S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER
TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER'S RIGHTS TO DELIVER NOTICES OF
BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE UNCONDITIONAL
