EXHIBIT 10.107
February 9, 1998
Atlas Air, Inc. Pass Through Trust 1998-C
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In consideration of each of the Revolving Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of February 9, 1998 between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital
Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MSCS") and Atlas Air, Inc.
Pass Through Trust 1998-C ("Counterparty"), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx,
Discover & Co., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MSDWD"), 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 MSDWD at its address set
forth in the signature block of this Guarantee (or to such other address as
MSDWD may specify in writing), MSDWD agrees to pay or cause to be paid such
amounts; provided that delay by Counterparty in giving such demand shall in no
event affect MSDWD's obligations under this Guarantee.
MSDWD 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. MSDWD 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any time payment under the Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored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 MSDWD or otherwise, MSDWD's obligations hereunder with respect to
such payment shall be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by
Counterparty.
MSDWD represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof, which
representations will be deemed to be repeated by MSDWD 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;
2
(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 MSDWD shall be subrogated to all rights of
Counterparty against MSCS in respect of any amounts paid by MSDWD pursuant to
this Guarantee, provided that MSDWD 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.
