Senior Secured Term Credit Agreement

          In June 2007, we entered into a senior secured Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Term Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $250,000, which has been drawn. Interest under the Term Credit Agreement is based, at our option, on (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25% or (ii) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus ½ of 1.00%, plus 1.25% . LIBOR borrowings may be made for interest periods, at our option, of one, two, three or six months (or, if agreed by all of the lenders, nine or twelve months). The loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount for the first four and a half years, with the balance of the loan thereafter being repaid in four equal quarterly installments. The loan matures on December 20, 2012.

          The loan is guaranteed by our material wholly owned subsidiaries, including Satellite CD Radio, Inc. (the “Guarantor”). The Term Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of our and the Guarantor’s assets, including our four satellites and the shares of the Guarantor.

          The Term Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and event of default provisions. The negative covenants contained in the Term Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those contained in the indenture governing our 95/8 % Senior Notes due 2013.

          95/8% Senior Notes due 2013

          In August 2005, we issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 95/8% Senior Notes due 2013 resulting in net proceeds of $493,005. Our 95/8 % Senior Notes due 2013 mature on August 1, 2013 and interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The obligations under our 95/8% Senior Notes due 2013 are not secured by any of our assets.

          3¼% Convertible Notes due 2011

          In October 2004, we issued $230,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 3¼% Convertible Notes due 2011 resulting in net proceeds of $224,813. These notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at any time at a conversion rate of 188.6792 shares of common stock for each $1,000.00 principal amount, or $5.30 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Our 3¼% Convertible Notes due 2011 mature on October 15, 2011 and interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The obligations under our 3¼% Convertible Notes due 2011 are not secured by any of our assets.

          2½% Convertible Notes due 2009

          In February 2004, we issued $250,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 2½% Convertible Notes due 2009 resulting in net proceeds of $244,625. In March 2004, we issued an additional $50,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 2½% Convertible Notes due 2009 pursuant to an option granted in connection with the initial offering of the notes, resulting in net proceeds of $48,975. These notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at any time at a conversion rate of 226.7574 shares of common stock for each $1,000.00 principal amount, or $4.41 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Our 2½% Convertible Notes due 2009 mature on February 15, 2009 and interest is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The obligations under our 2½% Convertible Notes due 2009 are not secured by any of our assets.

          Space Systems/Loral Credit Agreement

          In July 2007, we amended and restated our existing Credit Agreement with Space Systems/Loral (the “Loral Credit Agreement”). Under the Loral Credit Agreement, Space Systems/Loral has agreed to make loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000 to finance the purchase of our fifth and sixth satellites. Loans made under the Loral Credit Agreement will be secured by our rights under the Satellite Purchase Agreement with Space Systems/Loral, including our rights to these satellites. The loans are also entitled to the benefits of a subsidiary guarantee from Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our subsidiary that holds our FCC license, and any future material subsidiary that may be formed by us. The maturity date of the loans is the earliest to occur of (i) June 10, 2010, (ii) 90 days after the sixth satellite becomes available for shipment and (iii) 30 days prior to the scheduled launch of the sixth satellite. Any loans made under the Loral Credit Agreement generally will bear interest at a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% . The daily unused balance bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%, payable quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December. The Loral Credit Agreement permits us to prepay all or a portion of the loans outstanding without penalty. We have not borrowed under the Loral Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2007.

          Covenants and Restrictions

          Our 95/8 Senior Notes due 2013, our Loral Credit Agreement and our Senior Secured Term Loan require us to comply with certain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, (iv) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) merge or consolidate with another person, (vi) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and (vii) make voluntary prepayments of certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions as provided in the 95/8% Senior Notes due 2013 indenture, the Loral Credit Agreement and the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Term Loan. If we fail to comply with these covenants, our 95/8% Senior Notes due 2013, our Senior Secured Term Loan and any loans outstanding under the Loral Credit Agreement could become immediately payable and the Loral Credit Agreement could be terminated. At September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
