This excerpt taken from the SIRI 10-K filed Mar 10, 2009. Phase One: Investment Agreement On February 17, 2009, SIRIUS entered into an Investment Agreement (the Investment Agreement) with Liberty Radio, LLC (the Purchaser), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, SIRIUS agreed to issue to the Purchaser 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. Upon expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the preferred stock will be convertible into 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to such conversion). The Purchaser has agreed not to acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock for three years. Certain of the standstill restrictions will cease to apply after two years. The rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to appoint a proportionate number of our board of directors based on their ownership levels from time to time. The Certificate of Designations also provides that so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns at least half of its initial equity investment, we need the consent of the Purchaser for certain actions, including:
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, rank 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.
XM Credit Agreement. On February 17, 2009, XM Satellite Radio Inc. entered into a Credit Agreement (the XM Credit Agreement) with Liberty Media Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The XM Credit Agreement provides for a $150,000 term loan. On March 6, 2009, XM amended and restated the XM Credit Agreement (the Second-Lien Credit Agreement) with Liberty Media Corporation, and simultaneously closed the facility. Pursuant to the Second-Lien Credit Agreement, XM may borrow $150,000 aggregate principal amount of term loans on December 1, 2009. The proceeds of the loans will be used to repay a portion of the 10% Convertible Notes due 2009 of 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 will pay a commitment fee of 2.0% 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.

The loans under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement are guaranteed by XM Holdings and each of the subsidiary guarantors named therein. The loan is secured by a second lien on substantially all the assets of XM Holdings, XM and certain subsidiaries named therein. The affirmative covenants, negative covenants and event of default provisions contained in the Second-Lien Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those contained in the First-Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below). Amendment and Restatement of Existing XM Bank Facilities. 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 have been 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 (the Purchaser) has purchased $100,000 aggregate principal amount of such loans from the lenders. XM paid a restructuring fee of 2% to the existing lenders under the Previous Facilities. Loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement held by existing lenders (the Tranche A and the Tranche B term loans) will mature on May 5, 2010 and the remaining loans purchased by Liberty (the Tranche C term loans) will mature on May 5, 2011. The Tranche A and the Tranche B term loans are subject to scheduled quarterly amortization payments of $25,000 starting on March 31, 2009. The Tranche C term loans are subject to a partial amortization of $25,000 on March 31, 2010, with all remaining amounts due on the final maturity date. Pursuant to these maturities and the scheduled amortization payments, of the outstanding principal amount, $100,000 of the $350,000 is due in 2009; $175,000 is due in 2010; and $75,000 is due in 2011. The loans will bear interest at rates ranging from prime plus 11% to LIBOR (subject to a 3% floor) plus 12%. The loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement are guaranteed by XM Holdings and each of the subsidiary guarantors named therein. The loans are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of XM Holdings, XM and certain subsidiaries named therein. The affirmative covenants, negative covenants and event of default provisions contained in the First-Lien Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those contained in the Previous Facilities, except that: (i) XM must maintain cash reserves of $75 million (without taking into account any proceeds from the Second-Lien Credit Agreement (as defined above)), (ii) we must maintain cash reserves of $35 million, (iii) XM Holdings and XM must maintain certain EBITDA levels set forth therein and (iv) an event of default shall occur upon the acceleration of any our material indebtedness or in the event of our voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy. Issuance of the Preferred Stock. On March 6, 2009, we issued 12,500,000 shares of our preferred stock in consideration for the investments described herein. The rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock are described in the applicable Certificate of Designations. A summary of the terms of each Certificate of Designations is described above. The foregoing description of the Certificates of Designations does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms of such Certificate of Designations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations for the preferred, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 6, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and each Certificate of Designations is incorporated herein by reference.

This excerpt taken from the SIRI 8-K filed Feb 17, 2009. Phase Two: Investment Agreement On February 17, 2009, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Liberty Radio, LLC (the “Purchaser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we agreed to issue to the Purchaser 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. Upon expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the preferred stock will be convertible into 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to such conversion). Issuance of the preferred stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the conditions to funding under the XM Credit Agreement described below. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we have agreed to various covenants and agreements, including not to solicit or encourage alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, to enter into 2 discussions concerning, provide confidential information in connection with, or approve or recommend, any alternative transaction until April 15, 2009. If, prior to April 15, 2009, we receive an alternative proposal that our Board of Directors concludes in good faith is a Superior Proposal (as defined below), our Board of Directors may terminate the Investment Agreement in order to transact the Superior Proposal. After April 15, 2009, we may terminate the Investment Agreement if our Board of Directors determines it is in our best interests to do so. In either of those events, we will pay the Purchaser a termination fee of $7 million. “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written alternative proposal that our Board of Directors in good faith determines, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, would, if accepted, be reasonably capable of being consummated, taking into account legal, financial, regulatory, timing and similar aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal, and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to our stockholders from a financial point of view than the transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement. The Purchaser has agreed not to acquire more than 49.9% of our outstanding common stock for three years. Certain of the standstill restrictions will cease to apply after two years. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
