On February 17, 2009, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Liberty Media. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we agreed to issue to Liberty Radio, LLC 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share in partial consideration for certain loan investments. The Series B Preferred Stock was issued on March 6, 2009.

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to such conversion). Liberty Radio, LLC has agreed not to acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock for three years from the date the Series B Preferred Stock was issued, except that Liberty Radio, LLC may acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock at any time after the second anniversary of such date pursuant to any cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are not beneficially owned by Liberty Radio, LLC or its affiliates at a price per share greater than the closing price of the common stock on the trading day preceding the earlier of the public announcement or commencement of such tender offer. The Investment Agreement also provides for certain other standstill provisions during such three year period.

The holder of our Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to appoint a number of our board of directors proportionate to its ownership levels from time to time.

Investment Agreement
 
On February 17, 2009, we entered into an investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Liberty Radio, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we agreed to issue to Liberty Radio, LLC 12,500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share in partial consideration for the loan investments described herein. The preferred stock was issued on March 6, 2009, as described below. See “Relationship with Liberty Media — Issuance of the Preferred Stock”.
 
The preferred stock is convertible into 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to such conversion). Liberty Radio, LLC has agreed not to acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock for three years from the date the preferred stock was issued, except that Liberty Radio, LLC may acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock at any time after the second anniversary of such date pursuant to any cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are not beneficially owned by Liberty Radio, LLC or its affiliates at a price per share greater than the closing price of the common stock on the trading day preceding the earlier of the public announcement or commencement of such tender offer. The Investment Agreement also provides for certain other standstill provisions during such three year period.
 
The rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B-1 (the “Certificate of Designations”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The holder of our preferred stock is entitled to appoint a proportionate number of our board of directors based on its ownership levels from time to time. The Certificate of Designations also provides that so long as at least 6,250,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, we need the consent of the holder of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock for certain actions, including:
 
  •  the grant or issuance of our equity securities;
 
  •  any merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets;
 
  •  any acquisition or disposition of assets other than in the ordinary course of business above certain thresholds;
 
  •  the incurrence of debt in amounts greater than a stated threshold;
 
  •  engaging in a business different than the business currently conducted by us; and
 
  •  amending our certificate of incorporation or by-laws in a manner that materially adversely affects the holders of the preferred stock.
 
The preferred stock, with respect to dividend rights, ranks on a parity with our common stock, and with respect to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, ranks senior to our common stock. Dividends on the preferred stock are payable, on a non-cumulative basis, as and if declared on our common stock, in cash, on an as-converted basis.
