LM Credit Agreement

On February 17, 2009, SIRIUS entered into a Credit Agreement (the “LM Credit Agreement”) with Liberty Media Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The LM Credit Agreement provides for a $250,000 term loan and $30,000 of purchase money loans. Concurrently with entering into the LM Credit Agreement, SIRIUS borrowed $250,000 under the term loan facility. The proceeds of the term loan were used (i) to repay at maturity our outstanding 2  1/2% Convertible Notes due February 17, 2009 and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including related transaction costs.

The loans under the LM Credit Agreement have a stated interest rate of 15% per annum. Commencing on March 31, 2010, the loans amortize in quarterly installments equal to (i) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding on January 1, 2010 and (ii) after December 31, 2011, 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding on January 1, 2012. The loan matures on December 20, 2012. In addition, we pay a commitment fee of 2.0% per annum on the unused portion of the purchase money loan facility.

The loans under the LM Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Satellite CD Radio, Inc. and Sirius Asset Management Company LLC, SIRIUS’ wholly owned subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of SIRIUS’ assets. The affirmative covenants, negative covenants and event of default provisions in the LM Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those in the Senior Secured Term Loan, dated as of June 20, 2007, among SIRIUS, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent.
