This excerpt taken from the SIRI 10-Q filed May 11, 2009. General Motors XM has a long-term distribution agreement with General Motors Corporation (GM). GM has a representative on our board of directors and is considered a related party. During the term of the agreement, GM has agreed to distribute the XM service. To encourage the broad installation of XM radios in GM vehicles, XM subsidizes a portion of the cost of XM radios and make incentive payments to GM when the owners of GM vehicles with installed XM radios become subscribers to XMs service. XM also shares with GM a percentage of the subscription revenue attributable to GM vehicles with installed XM radios. As part of the agreement, GM provides certain call-center related services directly to XM subscribers who are also GM customers for which we reimburse GM. We have entered into an agreement with GM to extend the term of XMs distribution agreement to 2020, to improve the economic terms of the arrangement, and postpone, at XMs option, certain payments, with interest, to GM. XM makes bandwidth available to OnStar Corporation for audio and data transmissions to owners of XM-enabled GM vehicles, regardless of whether the owner is an XM subscriber. OnStars use of XMs bandwidth must be in compliance with applicable laws, must not compete or adversely interfere with XMs business, and must meet XMs quality standards. XM also granted to OnStar a certain amount of time to use XMs studios on an annual basis and agreed to provide certain audio content for distribution on OnStars services.
