This excerpt taken from the SIRI 8-K filed Feb 17, 2009. Phase One: $280 Million Sirius Credit Agreement On February 17, 2009, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Sirius Credit Agreement”) with Liberty Media Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Sirius Credit Agreement provides for a $250 million term loan and $30 million of purchase money loans. Concurrently with entering into the Sirius Credit Agreement, we borrowed $250 million under the term loan facility. The proceeds of the term loan will be used (i) to repay at maturity our outstanding 2½% Convertible Notes due February 17, 2009 and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including related transaction costs. The loans under the Sirius Credit Agreement bear interest at a 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. We paid Liberty Media Corporation a structuring fee of $30 million in connection with the Sirius Credit Agreement. In addition, we will pay a commitment fee of 2.0% per annum on the unused portion of the purchase money loan facility. If, prior to December 31, 2009, we elect to terminate the Investment Agreement (as defined below), the lenders under the Sirius Credit Agreement may require prompt repayment at 105% of face amount. The loans under the Sirius Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Sirius Asset Management Company LLC and Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The affirmative covenants, negative covenants and event of default provisions in the Sirius Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those in the Term Credit Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2007, among us, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent. |
