This excerpt taken from the SIRI 10-Q filed May 11, 2009. Senior Secured Term Loan due 2012 In June 2007, SIRIUS entered into a term credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. The term credit agreement provides for a senior secured term loan (the Senior Secured Term Loan) of $250,000, which has been fully drawn. Interest under the Senior Secured Term Loan is based, at our option, on (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25% or (ii) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, plus 1.25%. The current interest rate is 2.8125%. The Senior Secured Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount for the first four and a half years, with the balance of the loan thereafter being repaid in four equal quarterly installments. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on December 20, 2012. The Senior Secured Term Loan is guaranteed by our wholly owned subsidiaries, including Satellite CD Radio, Inc. (the Guarantor), and is secured by a lien on substantially all of SIRIUS and the Guarantors assets, including SIRIUS three in-orbit satellites, one ground spare satellite and the shares of the Guarantor. The Senior Secured Term Loan contains customary affirmative covenants and event of default provisions. The negative covenants contained in the Senior Secured Term Loan are substantially similar to those contained in the indenture governing SIRIUS 9 5/8% Senior Notes due 2013. 9 5 /8% Senior Notes due 2013 In August 2005, SIRIUS issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (the 9 5/8% Notes) resulting in net proceeds, after debt issuance costs, of $493,005. The 9 5/8% Notes mature on August 1, 2013 and interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The obligations under the 9 5/8% Notes are not secured by any of our assets. |
