Atlas Air Pass Through Trust 1999-1B
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In consideration of each of the Revolving Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of April 13, 1999 between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital Services
Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MSCS") and Wilmington Trust Company
as Subordination Agent, as agent and trustee for the Atlas Air Pass Through
Trust 1999-1B ("Counterparty"), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx & Co., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter "MSDW"), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees to Counterparty, with effect from the date of the Agreement, the due
and punctual payment of all amounts payable by MSCS under the Agreement when the
same shall become due and payable, whether on scheduled payment dates, upon
demand, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement and giving effect to any applicable grace period. Upon
failure of MSCS punctually to pay any such amounts, and upon written demand by
Counterparty to MSDW at its address set forth in the signature block of this
Guarantee (or to such other address as MSDW may specify in writing), MSDW agrees
to pay or cause to be paid such amounts; provided that delay by Counterparty in
giving such demand shall in no event affect MSDW's obligations under this
Guarantee.
MSDW hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional
and will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable
under the Agreement, irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's validity,
regularity or enforceability or the lack of authority of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement; or any change in or amendment to the Agreement; or any
waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof; or the
absence of any action to enforce the Agreement or the recovery of any judgment
against MSCS or of any action to enforce a judgment against MSCS under the
Agreement; or any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally. MSDW hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand on MSCS for payment or otherwise (except as
provided hereinabove), filing of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding
against MSCS and protest or notice, except as provided for in the Agreement with
respect to amounts payable by MSCS. If at any time payment under the Agreement
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by Counterparty upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MSCS or MSDW or otherwise, MSDW's
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such
restoration or return being made by Counterparty.
MSDW represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof, which
representations will be deemed to be repeated by MSDW on each date on which a
Transaction is entered into, that:
(1) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute
and deliver this Guarantee and to perform the provisions of this Guarantee on
its part to be performed;
(2) its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been and
remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene
any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any law,
regulation or contractual restriction binding on it or its assets;
(3) all consents, authorizations, approvals and clearances (including,
without limitation, any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications,
reports and registrations requisite for its due execution, delivery and
performance of this Guarantee have been obtained from or, as the case may be,
filed with the relevant governmental authorities having jurisdiction and remain
in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with
and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority having jurisdiction is required for such execution, delivery or
performance; and
(4) this Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equity
principles.
By accepting this Guarantee and entering into the Agreement, Counterparty
agrees that MSDW shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty against MSCS
in respect of any amounts paid by MSDW pursuant to this Guarantee, provided that
MSDW shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of or
based upon such right of subrogation only to the extent that it has paid all
amounts payable by MSCS under the Agreement.
This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
