                                   ARTICLE II

                       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT

                  Section 2.01. The Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby
irrevocably 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 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 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

                                       7
<PAGE>   11

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 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 the 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 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 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 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.

                                       8
<PAGE>   12

                  (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. If the
Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date
of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have
fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an
event of default and shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of
any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class A
Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or
rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts
from time to time on deposit in the Class A 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 WestLB 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 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 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

                                       9
<PAGE>   13

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 Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A 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 Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A
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-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 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 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

                                       10
<PAGE>   14

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 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 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 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

                                       11
<PAGE>   15

such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final
Maturity Date for the Class A 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.

                                   ARTICLE III

                           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.

                                       12
<PAGE>   16

                  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.

                  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 Liquidity Provider 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-

                                       13
<PAGE>   17

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 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 The Chase Manhattan Bank, ABA
No. 021-000-021, for account of Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York
Branch, Account No. 920-1-060663, Reference: Atlas Air, Inc., 2000-1A.

                  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 shall

                                       14
<PAGE>   18

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 Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A 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 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 (other than any Unapplied Provider Advance)
will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this
Section. Each such 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 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 the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a
conversion of 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).

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

                  (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 Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest in an
amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A
Cash Collateral Account.

                  (f) 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 3.25% until paid.

                  (g) 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 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.

                  Section 7.03. No Waiver: Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under

Letter)), that may be imposed, 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 this Agreement, the WestLB Fee Letter, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any Financing Agreement; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
any Liquidity Indemnitee in respect of any Expense of such Liquidity Indemnitee
to the extent such Expense is (i) attributable to the gross negligence or
willful 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 perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition on its

the 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

<PAGE>   26

(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 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 (not including Atlas or any affiliate of Atlas) 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.
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).

                  (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

                                       23
<PAGE>   27

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.

                  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

                  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

         (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 sue 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 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.

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.

                                   ARTICLE II

                       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT

                  Section 2.01. The Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby
irrevocably 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 B 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 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 B 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,
as provided for in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) upon a
downgrading of the Guarantor's short-term unsecured debt rating issued by either
Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating or (ii) if the Guarantee
Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect, becomes invalid or
unenforceable or the Guarantor denies its liability thereunder (any such
occurrence, a "Guarantee Event"), 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

<PAGE>   14

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 B 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 B 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 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 the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing
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 4:00 PM (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. If the
Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date
of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have
fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an
event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class B Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the

<PAGE>   15

Class B 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 MSCS 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 B 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 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 Applied Non-Extension
Advance 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.

<PAGE>   16

                  Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts
advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the
Class B Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class B 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 B Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class B
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (x) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (y) in the case of a Non-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 B 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 B 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
Provider Advances 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 B 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

<PAGE>   17

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 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 B 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. The Expiry Date shall be automatically extended, effective on the 25th
day prior to each Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date
that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class B
Certificates), for a period of 364 days after such Expiry Date (unless the
obligations of the Liquidity Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof), without the necessity of any act on the part of the Borrower
or the Liquidity Provider, unless the Liquidity Provider shall advise the
Borrower prior to such 25th day that it does not agree to such extension of such
Expiry Date, in which event (and 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 such 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.

                                   ARTICLE III

                           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
("Regulatory Change") which 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). 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.

                  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

<PAGE>   19

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 Liquidity Provider 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. (a) 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 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
<PAGE>   20
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 Citibank, N.A., New York, NY,
ABA# 021000089, Account Name: Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc., Account #
4072-4601, Reference: Atlas Air, Inc., 2000-1B.

                  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 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 B Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class B 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 B 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.

<PAGE>   21

                  (b) Each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR
Advance as provided in this Section. Each such 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;
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 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 the Final Advance
as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of 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, such 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 Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest as
provided in Section 3.07(b) hereof plus an amount equal to the amount by which
(i) the Investment Earnings plus 0.50% per annum on the outstanding amount from
time to time of such Advance for the period for which interest is calculated
pursuant to clause (ii) hereof exceeds (ii) the amount of interest on such
Unapplied Provider Advance under Section 3.07(b). . (f) Each amount not paid by
the Borrower 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 2.00% until paid.

                  (g) 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".

subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set
forth in Section 6.9 of the

<PAGE>   22

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 V 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 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.

                  Section 7.03. No Waiver: Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

                  Section 7.04. Further Assurances. The Borrower agrees to do
such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Liquidity
Provider such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments as the

The Liquidity Provider shall be indemnified hereunder to the extent and in the
manner described in Section 9.1 of the Leased Aircraft Participation Agreement,
Section 8.1 of the Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement and Section 6 of the
Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect,
defend and hold harmless the Liquidity Provider from, against and in respect of,
and shall pay on demand, all Expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (other
than any Expenses of the nature described in Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof
or in the MSCS Fee Letter (regardless of whether indemnified against pursuant to
said Sections or in such MSCS Fee Letter)), that may be imposed, 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 this
Agreement, the MSCS Fee Letter, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Financing
Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless any Liquidity Indemnitee in respect
of any Expense of such Liquidity Indemnitee (i) to the extent such Expense is
attributable to the gross negligence or willful 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 perform or observe any
agreement, covenant or condition on its part to be performed or observed in this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the MSCS Fee Letter or any other
Operative Agreement to which it is a party. The indemnities contained in Section
9.1 or 8.1, as the case may be, of the Participation Agreements, and the
provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.09, 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 7.06. Liability of the Liquidity Provider. (a) Neither
the 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

<PAGE>   28

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 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 B 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

<PAGE>   29

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 (not including Atlas or any affiliate of Atlas) 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.
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).

                  (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.

                  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

<PAGE>   30

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.

                  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
