EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.2

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is between SIRIUS XM RADIO INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and XXXXX X. XXXXX (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into an employment agreement dated as of July 3, 2015 (the “Prior Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive jointly desire to enter into this Agreement, which shall replace and supersede the Prior Agreement in its entirety, to reflect the terms and conditions of the Executive’s continued employment with the Company.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to continue his employment with the Company.

2. Duties and Reporting Relationship. (a) The Executive shall continue his employment as the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of both the Company and Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”). In such capacity, the Executive shall be responsible primarily for supervising the financial affairs, including the information technology function, of the Company and Holdings. During the Term (as defined below), the Executive shall, on a full-time basis and consistent with the needs of the Company and Holdings, use his skills and render services to the best of his ability. The Executive shall perform such activities and duties consistent with his position that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Holdings (the “CEOs”) shall from time to time reasonably specify and direct. During the Term, the Executive shall not perform any consulting services for, or engage in any other business enterprises with, any third parties without the express written consent of the CEOs, other than passive investments.

(b) The Executive shall generally perform his duties and conduct his business at the principal offices of the Company in New York, New York, or Washington, DC.

(c) Unless otherwise required by law, administrative regulation or the listing standards of the exchange on which Holdings’ shares are primarily traded, the Executive shall report solely and directly to the CEOs.

3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end on May 31, 2021, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 or extended in accordance with Section 6(e)(v) (as applicable, the “Term”).

4. Compensation. (a) During the Term, the Executive shall be paid an annual base salary of $1,400,000, which may be subject to increase from time to time by recommendation of the CEOs to, and approval by, the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Board”) or any committee thereof (such amount, as increased, the “Base Salary”). All amounts paid to the Executive under this Agreement

shall be in U.S. dollars. The Base Salary shall be paid at least monthly and, at the option of the Company, may be paid more frequently.

(b) On the first (1^st) business day on or following the Effective Date on which Holdings and the Executive are not subject to a blackout restriction (the “First Trading Day”), the Company shall cause Holdings to grant to the Executive the following:

(i) an option to purchase shares of Holdings’ common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the First Trading Day, with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such option being that necessary to cause the Black-Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx value of such option on the First Trading Day to be equal to $3,000,000, determined by using inputs consistent with those Holdings uses for its financial reporting purposes. Such option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A;

(ii) a number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) equal to $3,000,000, divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the First Trading Day. Such RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B; and

(iii) a number of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) equal to $6,000,000, divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the First Trading Day. Such PRSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Performance–Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

(c) All compensation paid to the Executive hereunder shall be subject to any payroll and withholding deductions required by applicable law, including, as and where applicable, federal, New York state and New York City income tax withholding, federal unemployment tax and social security (FICA).

5. Additional Compensation; Expenses and Benefits. (a) During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred and advanced by him in carrying out his duties under this Agreement; provided that such expenses are incurred in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company. The Executive shall present to the Company an itemized account of all expenses in such form as may be required by the Company from time to time.

(b) During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate fully in any other benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits which may be made available to the executive officers of the Company and/or Holdings generally, including, without limitation, disability, medical, dental and life insurance and benefits under the Company’s and/or Holdings’ 401(k) savings plan and deferred compensation plan.

(c) During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in any bonus plans generally offered to executive officers of the Company and/or Holdings. The Executive’s annual bonus (the “Bonus”), if any, shall be determined annually by the CEOs, or the Board or the compensation

committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). Bonus(es) shall be subject to the Executive’s individual performance and satisfaction of objectives established by the CEOs or the Board or the Compensation Committee, and further are subject to the exercise of discretion by the CEOs and review and approval by the Compensation Committee. Bonus(es), if any, shall be paid in the form of cash.

6. Termination. The date upon which the Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement is deemed to be terminated in accordance with any of the provisions of this Section 6 is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.” With respect to any payment or benefits that would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and which are payable upon or following a termination of employment, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred unless such termination also constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder (a “Separation from Service”), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on which a Separation from Service takes place shall be the Termination Date. In the event of the Executive’s death, any amounts owed to the Executive hereunder shall instead be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary (or, if none, to the Executive’s estate).

(a) The Company has the right and may elect to terminate this Agreement with or without Cause at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means the occurrence or existence of any of the following:

(i) (A) a material breach by the Executive of the terms of this Agreement, (B) a material breach by the Executive of the Executive’s duty not to engage in any transaction that represents, directly or indirectly, self-dealing with the Company, Holdings or any of their affiliates (which, for purposes hereof, shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust, estate, or other entity or organization directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or Holdings) which has not been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board, or (C) the Executive’s violation of the Company’s or Holdings’ Code of Ethics, or any other written Company or Holdings policy that is communicated to the Executive in a similar manner as such policy is communicated to other employees of the Company or Holdings, which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, Holdings or any of their affiliates, if any such material breach or violation described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), to the extent curable, remains uncured after fifteen (15) days have elapsed following the date on which the Company gives the Executive written notice of such material breach or violation;

(ii) the Executive’s act of dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement, intentional fraud, or similar intentional misconduct by the Executive involving the Company, Holdings or any of their affiliates;

(iii) the Executive’s conviction or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent in respect of a felony;

(iv) any damage of a material nature to any property of the Company, Holdings or any of their affiliates caused by the Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence;

(v) the repeated nonprescription use of any controlled substance or the repeated use of alcohol or any other non-controlled substance that, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Board, renders the Executive unfit to serve as an officer of the Company, Holdings or their affiliates;

(vi) the Executive’s failure to comply with the CEOs’ reasonable written instructions on a material matter within five (5) days, unless the Executive has received conflicting instructions from the CEOs; or

(vii) conduct by the Executive that, in the reasonable good faith written determination of the Board, manifests the Executive’s lack of fitness to serve as an officer of the Company, Holdings or their affiliates, including but not limited to a finding by the Board or any judicial or regulatory authority that the Executive committed acts of unlawful harassment or violated any other state, federal or local law or ordinance prohibiting discrimination in employment.

(b) Termination of the Executive for Cause pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination for Cause” shall mean delivery to the Executive of a copy of a resolution or resolutions duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the directors present (in person or by teleconference) and voting at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose after fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Executive (which notice the Company shall use reasonable efforts to confirm that the Executive has actually received and which notice for purposes of Section 6(a) may be delivered, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 17, through the use of electronic mail) and a reasonable opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board prior to such vote, finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive committed the conduct set forth in any of clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 6(a) and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail. For purposes of Section 6(a), this Agreement shall terminate on the date specified by the Board in the Notice of Termination for Cause and one (1) day following the receipt by the Executive of a notice of a termination without Cause.

(ii) If the Executive is unable to perform the essential duties and functions of his position because of a disability, even with a reasonable accommodation, for one hundred eighty (180) days within any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period (“Disability”), the Company shall have the right and may elect to terminate the services of the Executive by a Notice of Disability Termination. The Executive shall not be terminated following a Disability except pursuant to this Section 6(c)(ii). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Disability Termination” shall mean a written notice that sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 6(c)(ii). For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice of Disability Termination. This Agreement and the Executive’s employment shall terminate on the day such Notice of Disability Termination is received by the Executive.

(d) The Executive shall have the absolute right to terminate his employment with the Company and Holdings at any time with or without Good Reason (as defined below). Should the

Executive wish to resign from his position with the Company and Holdings during the Term for other than Good Reason, the Executive shall give at least fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate on the effective date of the resignation set forth in the notice of resignation; provided that the Company may, at its sole discretion, instruct the Executive to perform no more job responsibilities and cease his active employment immediately upon or following receipt of such notice from the Executive. Further, any resignation by the Executive of his position with the Company shall be deemed a resignation of his position with Holdings (and vice versa).

(e) Should the Executive wish to resign from his position with the Company and Holdings for Good Reason during the Term following the Company’s failure to cure an applicable event as contemplated below, the Executive shall give at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate on the date specified in such notice given in accordance with the relevant provision; provided that the Company may, at its sole discretion, instruct the Executive to cease active employment and perform no more job duties immediately upon or following receipt of such notice from the Executive. Further, any resignation by the Executive of his position with the Company shall be deemed a resignation of his position with Holdings (and vice versa).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the continuance of any of the following events (without the Executive’s prior written consent) for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery to the Company by the Executive of a written notice within ninety (90) days of the Executive becoming aware of the initial occurrence of such event, during which thirty (30)-day period of continuation the Company and Holdings shall be afforded an opportunity to cure such event (and provided that the Executive’s effective date of resignation for Good Reason is within one hundred thirty-five (135) days of the Good Reason event):

(i) the assignment to the Executive by the Company or Holdings of duties not reasonably consistent with the Executive’s positions, duties, responsibilities, titles or offices on the Effective Date, any material reduction in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities as described in Section 2, or any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to re-elect the Executive to, any of such positions (except in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, Disability or as a result of the Executive’s death or by the Executive other than for Good Reason); or

(ii) the Executive ceasing to report solely and directly to the CEOs (unless otherwise required by Section 2(c)); or

(iii) any requirement that the Executive report for work to a location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the Company’s current offices in New York, New York, or Washington, DC, whichever site the Executive’s primary office is then located in, for more than thirty (30) days in any calendar year, excluding any requirement that results from the damage or destruction of such office as a result of natural disasters, terrorism, acts of war or acts of God or travel in the ordinary course of business; or

(iv) any reduction in the Base Salary; or

(v) the Company’s failure to make a bona fide offer in writing to renew this Agreement, for at least an additional one (1)-year term, on terms and conditions at least as favorable as those set forth in this Agreement (including the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(a), but excluding any equity–based compensation set forth in Section 4(b)), at least ninety (90) days prior to (x) the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date on which this Agreement is otherwise scheduled to expire; provided that (for purposes of this clause (y) only) this Agreement has been renewed on the previous anniversary of the Effective Date on which this Agreement was otherwise scheduled to expire; or

(vi) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

(f) (i) If the employment of the Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause, by the Executive other than for Good Reason or due to death or Disability, the Executive shall, in lieu of any future payments or benefits under this Agreement, be entitled to (A) any earned but unpaid Base Salary and any business expenses incurred but not reimbursed, in each case, prior to the Termination Date and (B) any other vested benefits under any other benefit or incentive plans or programs in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs (collectively, the “Accrued Payments and Benefits”).

(ii) If, during the Term, the employment of the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or if the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 6(g), the Executive shall have an absolute and unconditional right to receive, and the Company shall pay to the Executive without setoff, counterclaim or other withholding, except as set forth in Section 4(c), the following:

(A) the Accrued Payments and Benefits;

(B) a lump sum amount equal to the sum of (x) the Executive’s annualized Base Salary then in effect and (y) an amount in cash equal to the Bonus last paid (or due and payable) to the Executive, with such lump sum amount to be paid on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Termination Date;

(C) the continuation for eighteen (18) months, at the Company’s expense (by direct payment, not reimbursement to the Executive), of medical and dental benefits in a manner that will not be taxable to the Executive; and

(D) life insurance benefits on the same terms as provided by the Company for active employees for one (1) year following the Termination Date; provided that (I) the Company’s cost for such life insurance shall not exceed twice the amount that the Company would have paid to provide such life insurance benefit to the Executive if he were an active employee on the Termination Date, and (II) such life insurance coverage shall cease if the Executive obtains a life insurance benefit from another employer during the remainder of such one (1)-year period.

(g) The Company’s obligations under Section 6(f)(ii) shall be conditioned upon the Executive or the Executive’s representative executing, delivering, and not revoking during the applicable revocation period a waiver and release of claims against the Company and Holdings, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (the “Release”) within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date;

provided that the Company’s General Counsel may waive such requirement in the case of the Executive’s death.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company or Holdings be considered to have breached this Agreement or to have terminated the Executive’s employment with or without Cause, or shall a Good Reason event be deemed to have occurred, solely as a result of Holdings merging with and/or into, or otherwise effecting a business combination with, the Company, Liberty Media Corporation, any Qualified Distribution Transferee (as defined in the Investment Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2009, between Holdings and Liberty Radio LLC, as amended) or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, or any entity wholly-owned jointly by any of the foregoing.

(i) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and determined pursuant to policies adopted by the Company and Holdings) at the time of his Separation from Service and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive upon Separation from Service would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation”), amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following the Executive’s Separation from Service that constitute Nonqualified Deferred Compensation and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following the Executive’s Separation from Service that constitute Nonqualified Deferred Compensation will instead be paid or made available on the earlier of (x) the first (1^st) business day of the seventh (7^th) month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service and (y) the Executive’s death.

(j) Following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, if and to the extent requested by the Board, the Executive agrees to resign, as may then be applicable, from the Board, all fiduciary positions (including, without limitation, as trustee) and all other offices and positions the Executive holds with the Company, Holdings or any of their respective affiliates; provided that if the Executive refuses to tender the Executive’s resignation after the Board has made such request, then the Board will be empowered to remove the Executive from such offices and positions.

7. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. (a) The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment he will occupy a position of trust and confidence. The Executive shall not, except in connection with the proper performance of his functions or as required by applicable law, disclose to others or use, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information.

(b) “Confidential Information” shall mean information about the Company’s and/or Holdings’ (and their respective affiliates’) business and operations that is not disclosed by the Company or Holdings (or their respective affiliates) for financial reporting purposes and that was learned by the Executive in the course of his employment by the Company and/or Holdings, including, without limitation, any business plans, product plans, strategy, budget information, proprietary knowledge, patents, trade secrets, data, formulae, sketches, notebooks, blueprints, information and client and customer lists and all papers and records (including but not limited to computer records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information, other than information that is publicly disclosed by the Company and/or Holdings (or their respective affiliates) in writing. The Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is specialized, unique in nature and of great value to the Company and/or Holdings, and that such information gives the Company and/or Holdings a competitive

advantage. The Executive agrees to deliver or return to the Company, at the Company’s request at any time or upon termination or expiration of his employment or as soon as possible thereafter, all documents, computer tapes and disks, records, lists, data, drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof) furnished by or on behalf of the Company and/or Holdings or prepared by the Executive in the course of his employment by the Company and/or Holdings; provided that the Executive will be able to keep his cell phones, personal computers, personal contact list and the like so long as any Confidential Information is removed from such items.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement will preclude, prohibit or restrict the Executive from (i) communicating with any federal, state or local administrative or regulatory agency or authority, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (ii) participating or cooperating in any investigation conducted by any governmental agency or authority; or (iii) filing a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal state or local administrative agency or regulatory authority. Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, prohibits or is intended in any manner to prohibit, the Executive from (A) reporting a possible violation of federal or other applicable law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the SEC, the U.S. Congress, and any governmental agency Inspector General, or (B) making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. This Agreement does not limit the Executive’s right to receive an award (including, without limitation, a monetary reward) for information provided to the SEC. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and the Executive is not required to notify the Company that the Executive has made such reports or disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. §1833(b). The Executive cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (I) (x) in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (y) for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (II) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if filed under seal; or (III) in connection with a lawsuit alleging retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, if filed under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order. The provisions of this Section 7(c) are intended to comply with all applicable laws. If any laws are adopted, amended or repealed after the execution of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the same.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive indefinitely.

8. Covenant Not to Compete. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and during the Restricted Period (as defined below), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into the employment of, render services to, or acquire any interest whatsoever in (whether for his own account as an individual proprietor, or as a partner, associate, stockholder, officer, director, consultant, trustee or otherwise), or otherwise assist, any person or entity engaged in the distribution, transmission, production or streaming of radio programming or any activity that directly competes with the business of the Company, including but not limited to telematics (each, a “Competitive Activity”); provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the purchase or ownership by the Executive by way of investment of less than five (5) percent of the shares or equity interest of any corporation or other entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not call on or otherwise solicit business or assist others to solicit business from any of the customers of the Company or its affiliates as

to any product or service that competes with any product or service provided or marketed by the Company or its affiliates on the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company during the Term (as such Term may be extended in accordance with Section 6(e)(v)) (the “Milestone Date”). The Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period he will not solicit or assist others to solicit the employment of or hire any employee of Holdings, the Company, or their subsidiaries or Liberty Media Corporation without the prior written consent of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Restricted Period” shall mean a period of one (1) year following the Milestone Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “radio” shall be defined broadly and shall include any and all forms and mediums of audio distribution now existing or hereafter developed, including terrestrial radio, streaming audio services and on-demand audio services.

9. Change of Control Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive (including but not limited to any payment or benefit received in connection with a change of control of the Company or Holdings or the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, together, the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, program, arrangement or agreement, the Company will reduce the Total Payments to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (but in no event to less than zero); provided that the Total Payments will only be reduced if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state, municipal, and local income and employment taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state, municipal, and local income and employment taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments).

(b) In the case of a reduction in the Total Payments, the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24), will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24), will next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata. Any reductions made pursuant to each of clauses (i)-(v) above will be made in the following manner: first, a pro-rata reduction of cash payment and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity not subject to Section 409A, and second, a pro-rata reduction of cash payments and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation.

(c) For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the change of control, the Company’s independent auditor (the “Auditor”), does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including, without limitation, by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code (including, without limitation, any portion of such Total Payments equal to the value of the covenant included in Section 8, as determined by the Auditor or such other accounting, consulting or valuation firm selected by the Company prior to the change of control and reasonably acceptable to the Executive), in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

(d) At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company will provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations, including but not limited to any opinions or other advice the Company or Holdings received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor, or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing will be attached to the statement). If the Executive objects to the Company’s calculations, the Company will pay to the Executive such portion of the Total Payments (up to 100% thereof) as the Executive determines is necessary to result in the proper application of this Section 9. All determinations required by this Section 9 (or requested by either the Executive or the Company in connection with this Section 9) will be at the expense of the Company. The fact that the Executive’s right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 9 will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of the Executive under this Agreement.

(e) If the Executive receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this Section 9 and it is established pursuant to a determination of a court which is not subject to review or as to which the time to appeal has expired, or pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service proceeding, that the Executive could have received a greater amount without resulting in any Excise Tax, then the Company shall thereafter pay the Executive the aggregate additional amount which could have been paid without resulting in any Excise Tax as soon as reasonably practicable.

10. Remedies. The Executive and the Company agree that damages for breach of any of the covenants under Sections 7 and 8 will be difficult to determine and inadequate to remedy the harm which may be caused thereby, and therefore consent that these covenants may be enforced by temporary or permanent injunction without the necessity of bond. The Executive believes, as of the date of this Agreement, that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and that the Executive is capable of gainful employment without breaching this Agreement. However, should any court or arbitrator decline to enforce any provision of Section 7 or 8, this Agreement shall, to the extent applicable in the circumstances before such court or arbitrator, be deemed to be modified to restrict the Executive’s

competition with the Company to the maximum extent of time, scope and geography which the court or arbitrator shall find enforceable, and such provisions shall be so enforced.

11. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the full extent provided in the Company’s and Holdings’ respective Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws and the law of the State of Delaware in connection with his activities as an officer of the Company and Holdings.

12. Entire Agreement. The provisions contained herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, understandings and communications between the parties, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement, but excluding any equity award agreements between the Executive and the Company or Holdings. Nothing herein is intended to supersede or waive obligations of the Executive to comply with any assignment of invention provisions applicable to the Executive under the Code of Ethics or any assignment of invention agreement(s) between the Company or Holdings and the Executive.

13. Modification. Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any provisions of this Agreement shall not be valid unless in writing and signed by both the Executive and the Company.

14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

15. Assignment. The Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Executive, except that any successor to the Company or Holdings by merger or purchase of all or substantially all of the Company’s or Holdings’ assets shall assume this Agreement.

16. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors in interest of the Executive and the Company.

17. Notices.

2. Dividends. If on any date while RSUs are outstanding the Company shall pay any dividend on the Shares (other than a dividend payable in Shares), the number of RSUs granted to the Executive shall, as of the record date for such dividend payment, be increased by a number of RSUs equal to: (a) the product of (x) the number of RSUs held by the Executive as of such record date, multiplied by (y) the per Share amount of any cash dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable, in whole or in part, other than in cash, the per Share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith by the Company), divided by (b) the average closing price of a Share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the twenty (20) trading days preceding, but not including, such record date. In the case of any dividend declared on Shares that is payable in the form of Shares, the number of RSUs granted to the Executive shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (1) the aggregate number of RSUs held by the Executive on the record date for such dividend, multiplied by (2) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a Share.

In the event of the Executive’s death, any amounts owed to the Executive hereunder shall instead be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary (or, if none, to the Executive’s estate).

7. Withholding. Prior to delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall determine the amount of any United States federal, state and local income taxes, if any, which are required to be withheld under applicable law and shall, as a condition of delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, collect from the Executive the amount of any such tax to the extent not previously withheld in any manner permitted by the Plan.

8. Rights of the Executive.

BY WILL OR UNDER THE LAWS OF DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION.

SIRIUS XM HOLDINGS INC.

2015 LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated June 1, 2018, is between SIRIUS XM HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and XXXXX X. XXXXX (the “Executive”).

1. Grant of PRSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and the Employment Agreement dated as of June 1, 2018 between Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM”) and the Executive (the “Employment Agreement”), the Company hereby grants ________________ performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to the Executive. Each PRSU represents the unfunded, unsecured right of the Executive to receive one share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (each, a “Share”) on the date specified in this Agreement.

2. Dividends. If on any date while PRSUs are outstanding the Company shall pay any dividend on the Shares (other than a dividend payable in Shares), the number of PRSUs granted to the Executive shall, as of the record date for such dividend payment, be increased by a number of PRSUs equal to: (a) the product of (x) the number of PRSUs held by the Executive as of such record date, multiplied by (y) the per Share amount of any cash dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable, in whole or in part, other than in cash, the per Share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith by the Company), divided by (b) the average closing price of a Share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the twenty (20) trading days preceding, but not including, such record date. In the case of any dividend declared on Shares that is payable in the form of Shares, the number of PRSUs granted to the Executive shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (1) the aggregate number of PRSUs held by the Executive on the record date for such dividend, multiplied by (2) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a Share. In the case of any other change in the Shares occurring after the date hereof, the number of PRSUs shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4(b) of the Plan.

3. No Rights of a Stockholder. The Executive shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company until the Shares have been issued. Once a PRSU vests and a Share is issued to the Employee pursuant to Section 4, such PRSU is no longer considered a PRSU for purposes of this Agreement.

4. Issuance of Shares Subject to PRSUs.

(a) Performance Metric. All or a portion of the PRSUs shall be eligible to vest based on the Company’s level of achievement of cumulative free cash flow as set forth in the budgets (the “Performance Metric Target”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the years ending December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 (together, the “Performance Period”). The

annual free cash flow component for each of 2018 and 2019 of the Performance Metric Target shall be set at the time such applicable budget is approved by the Board.

Free cash flow shall be derived from cash flow provided by operating activities, net of additions to property and equipment, restricted and other investment activity and the return of capital from investment in unconsolidated entities. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall adjust or modify the calculation of free cash flow and/or the Performance Metric Target for the Performance Period in accordance with Sections 4(b) and 12(c) of the Plan, as applicable.

(b) Calculation of Shares to be Issued. Within sixty (60) days following the end of the Performance Period, the Company shall certify the Company’s level of achievement of the Performance Metric Target (such actual date of certification, the “Certification Date”) and determine the number of PRSUs that shall remain eligible to vest, as set forth below, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and/or this Agreement (such PRSUs, the “Eligible PRSUs”):

(i) If the Company fails to achieve at least 80% of the Performance Metric Target, zero PRSUs shall constitute Eligible PRSUs;

(ii) Upon achieving 100% or more of the Performance Metric Target, 100% of the PRSUs shall constitute Eligible PRSUs; and

(iii) If the Company’s level of free cash flow falls between 80% and 100% of the Performance Metric Target, the number of PRSUs that become Eligible PRSUs shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the thresholds set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b).

Any PRSUs that do not constitute Eligible PRSUs as of the Certification Date shall be cancelled on the Certification Date.

(c) Issuance of Eligible PRSUs. Subject to earlier issuance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, on May 31, 2021, the Company shall issue, or cause there to be transferred, to the Executive an amount of Shares representing the Eligible PRSUs (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 above, if applicable); provided that the Executive continues to be employed by Sirius XM on May 31, 2021.

5. Termination of Employment. (a) If the Executive’s employment with Sirius XM terminates for any reason, then the PRSUs shall immediately terminate without consideration; provided that if the Executive’s employment with Sirius XM terminates due to death or “Disability” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), by Sirius XM without “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) (any such applicable date of termination, the “PRSU Termination Date”), then the PRSUs shall be treated in the following manner:

(i) if the PRSU Termination Date occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the PRSUs, to the extent not previously settled, cancelled or forfeited, shall, subject to Section 5(b), immediately become vested and the Company shall issue, or cause there to be transferred, to the Executive the amount of Shares equal to the number of PRSUs granted to the

Executive under this Agreement, notwithstanding Section 4(b), and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 above, if applicable; and

(ii) if the PRSU Termination Date occurs after the Performance Period, all Eligible PRSUs, to the extent not previously settled, cancelled or forfeited, shall, subject to Section 5(b), immediately (or, if later, on the Certification Date) become vested and the Company shall issue, or cause there to be transferred, to the Executive the amount of Shares equal to the number of Eligible PRSUs earned pursuant to Section 4(b), as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 above, if applicable.

(b) In the event the Executive’s employment with Sirius XM terminates due to death or Disability, by Sirius XM without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the condition in Section 4(c) that the Executive be an employee of Sirius XM shall be waived; provided that the Executive executes a release in accordance with Section 6(g) of the Employment Agreement (except that the Company’s general counsel may waive such requirement in the case of the Executive’s death).

6. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the PRSUs shall be governed by the terms of the Plan; provided that any transactions between the Company, Sirius XM and/or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Liberty Media Corporation, any Qualified Distribution Transferee (as defined in the Investment Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2009, between the Company and Liberty Radio LLC, as amended) and/or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall not constitute a Change of Control under the Plan.

7. Non-transferable. The PRSUs may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of PRSUs or of any right or privilege conferred hereby shall be null and void. In the event of the Executive’s death, any amounts owed to the Executive hereunder shall instead be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary (or, if none, to the Executive’s estate).

8. Withholding. Prior to delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall determine the amount of any United States federal, state and local income taxes, if any, which are required to be withheld under applicable law and shall, as a condition of delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, collect from the Executive the amount of any such tax to the extent not previously withheld in any manner permitted by the Plan.

9. Rights of the Executive. Neither this Agreement nor the PRSUs shall confer upon the Executive any right to, or guarantee of, continued employment by Sirius XM or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or in any way limit the right of Sirius XM or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, or any other written employment or similar written agreement between or among the Company, Sirius XM or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and the Executive.

10. Professional Advice. The acceptance of the PRSUs may have consequences under federal and state tax and securities laws that may vary depending upon the individual circumstances of the

Executive. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges that the Executive has been advised to consult the Executive’s personal legal and tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the PRSUs.

11. Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement and the PRSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.

The Executive acknowledges that a copy of the Plan is posted on Sirius XM’s intranet site and the Executive agrees to review it and comply with its terms. This Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between or among the Company, Sirius XM and the Executive with respect to the PRSUs.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
