Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under
On January 30, 2012, Atlas Air, Inc. ("Atlas Air"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. ("AAWW"), entered into a term loan facility for up to $864.8 million with Apple Bank for Savings, guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("Ex-Im Bank") to finance up to six 747-8F aircraft deliveries (the "Ex-Im Bank Facility"). The Ex-Im Bank Facility, when drawn, will consist of up to six separate term loans, each secured by a mortgage on a 747-8F aircraft. In connection with entry into the Ex-Im Bank Facility, Atlas Air has agreed to pay usual and customary commitment and other fees associated with this type of financing. Borrowings under the Ex-Im Bank Facility initially accrue interest at a variable rate, payable quarterly at LIBOR plus a margin. The Ex-Im Bank Facility provides options to refinance the loans through the issuance of bonds in the capital markets or to convert the loans to a fixed rate. The Ex-Im Bank Facility contains customary covenants and events of default and is not cross-defaulted to any of Atlas Air's other debt facilities. In addition, there are certain operating conditions under the Ex-Im Bank Facility that Atlas Air must meet.
Three term loans aggregating $427.5 million have been made under the Ex-Im Bank Facility to date. All three term loans have been refinanced through the issuance of bonds in capital markets transactions, which are described in greater detail below.
