Phase One: Sirius Credit Agreement

On February 17, 2009, SIRIUS 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 $250,000 term loan and $30,000 of purchase money loans. Concurrently with entering into the Sirius Credit Agreement, SIRIUS borrowed $250,000 under the term loan facility. The proceeds of the term loan were used (i) to repay at maturity our outstanding 2 1/2% 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 $30,000 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.

The loans under the Sirius Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Satellite CD Radio, Inc. and Sirius
Asset Management Company LLC, SIRIUS’ wholly owned subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of SIRIUS’ assets. The affirmative covenants, negative covenants and event of default provisions in the Sirius Credit

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px">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.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">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 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;

STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> 







  

the incurrence of debt in amounts greater than a stated threshold;

STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> 







  

engaging in a business different than the business currently conducted by us; and

STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> 







  

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, 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.
