Loan Investments

On February 17, 2009, SIRIUS entered into a Credit Agreement (the “LM Credit Agreement”) with Liberty Media Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Liberty Media, LLC, as lender. The LM Credit Agreement provides for a $250,000 term loan and $30,000 of purchase money loans.

On February 17, 2009, XM entered into a Credit Agreement with Liberty Media Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Liberty Media, LLC, as lender. On March 6, 2009, XM amended and restated that credit agreement (the “Second-Lien Credit Agreement”) with Liberty Media Corporation. Pursuant to the Second-Lien Credit Agreement, XM may borrow $150,000 of term loans on December 1, 2009. The proceeds of these loans will be used to repay a portion of the 10% Convertible Notes due 2009 of our wholly owned subsidiary, XM Holdings, on the stated maturity date thereof. The Second-Lien Credit Agreement matures on March 1, 2011, and bears interest at 15% per annum. XM pays a commitment fee of 2% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Second-Lien Credit Agreement until the date of disbursement of the loans or the termination of the commitments.

On March 6, 2009, XM amended and restated (i) the $100,000 Credit Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2008, among XM, XM Holdings, the lenders named therein and UBS AG, as administrative agent (the “UBS Term Loan”), and (ii) the $250,000 Credit Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2006, among XM, XM Holdings, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “JPM Revolver” and, together with the UBS Term Loan, the “Previous Facilities”). The Previous Facilities were combined as term loans into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2009, among XM, XM Holdings, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “First-Lien Credit Agreement”), and Liberty Media, LLC, purchased $100,000 aggregate principal amount of such loans from the existing lenders. XM paid a restructuring fee of 2% to the existing lenders under the Previous Facilities.

We accounted for the Series B Preferred Stock by recording a $227,716 increase to additional paid-in capital, excluding issuance costs, for the amount of allocated proceeds received and an additional $186,188 increase in paid-in capital for the beneficial conversion feature, which was immediately recognized as a charge to retained earnings.

We recognized Interest expense related to Liberty Media of $11,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
