(A) (1) It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state under which it is organized; (2) it is under no contractual or other legal obligation that shall in any way interfere with its full, prompt and complete performance hereunder; (3) it has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform fully its obligations hereunder; (4) the individual executing this Agreement on its behalf has the authority to do so; and (5) the obligations created by this Agreement, insofar as they purport to be binding on it, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms.
5
(B) Risks of Investment. Its management recognizes that the purchase of the Class A Common Stock which may be issued in payment of interest on the Deferrals or as Subscriber Bounty Payments under Section 4(c) of this Agreement involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (1) an investment in Holdings is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in Holdings and accepting the Class A Common Stock; (2) Distributor may not be able to liquidate its investment; (3) transferability of the Class A Common Stock is restricted; (4) in the event of a disposition of the Class A Common Stock, Distributor could sustain the loss of its entire investment and (5) Holdings does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.
(C) Investment Experience. Its management has prior investment experience, including investment in securities which are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on the NASDAQ National or SmallCap Market, a national or other stock exchange or on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., for actively traded stocks. To the extent necessary, Distributor has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and its purchase of the Class A Common Stock hereunder.

7
Agreement and to perform fully its obligations hereunder; (3) the individual executing this Agreement on its behalf has the authority to do so; and (4) the obligations created by this Agreement, insofar as they purport to be binding on it, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(C) Except as may be required to be obtained or made under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, neither XM nor Holdings are required to procure, make or file any consent, approval or authorization of, or any notice to, of filing, registration or qualification with, any court or administrative or governmental body in order to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(a) Deferrals. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Distributor agrees to permit XM to defer (each, a “Deferral”, collectively, the “Deferrals”) payments owing to Distributor under any provision of this Agreement (“Contractual Obligations”) during the Deferral Period so long as the aggregate principal amount of such Deferrals outstanding at any time does not exceed the Deferral Limit.

Such Request for Deferral shall be signed by an authorized officer of XM and shall indicate the amount of the requested Deferral, a description of the Contractual Obligation for which such Deferral is being requested, and the date for such Deferral, which shall be the date on which the Contractual Obligation being deferred by such Deferral would otherwise have become due and owing (the “Deferral Date”).

(i) Interest Accrual. Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate on a daily basis during each Interest Period on the unpaid principal amount of all Deferrals and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.
(ii) Default Interest. In the event XM shall fail to make any payment of the principal or interest of or on any Deferral when due, after giving effect to any applicable grace period provided for in this Agreement, XM shall pay interest on such unpaid amount, payable from time to time on demand, from the date such amount shall have become due to the date of payment thereof (after as well as before judgment), accruing on a daily basis, at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Interest Rate in effect at such time plus one percent (1.0%).
(d) Payments. Each payment of principal or interest of or on any Deferral will be made to Distributor by certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, at such address or to such account as Distributor specifies in writing to XM at least five (5) Business Days before such payment is to be made.

(f) Prepayment.
(i) Optional Prepayment. The Deferrals, including all accrued interest thereon, may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty; provided that XM shall give Distributor not less than one (1) Business Day’s written notice prior to making such prepayment, specifying the amount to be prepaid and the date of prepayment. Each such notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable upon receipt by Distributor. Any Deferrals prepaid pursuant to this Section 13(f) shall not reduce the Deferral Limit and, within the limits of such Deferral Limit, amounts of Deferrals so prepaid may be deferred pursuant to Section 13(a) hereof.

In the event that such fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash for the fiscal year most recently then ended is greater than the amount of such prepayment, the balance shall be used, on such Prepayment Date, to prepay all or part of the amount of any outstanding Deferrals, including all accrued interest thereon, without premium or penalty, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such balance, and (y) the amount necessary to prepay the Deferrals in full.

10
GM Credit Facility, XM shall have executed such agreements or amendments and documentation as may be required to effect a security interest in favor of Distributor that is the same as under the GM Credit Facility and that has substantially the same terms and priority, and Distributor shall have received a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of XM, dated the Deferral Date, certifying satisfaction of the same.
(h) Defaults and Remedies.
(i) Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs under this Article 13 if:
(A) XM defaults in the payment when due of interest on any Deferral and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
(B) XM defaults in the payment when due of principal of any Deferral when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or pursuant to Section 13(e) hereof or defaults under the GM Credit Facility in the payment when due of principal of any Advance (as defined therein) when the same becomes due and payable at maturity pursuant to Section 8.1(b) of the GM Credit Facility;
(C) XM fails to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in this Section 13 for 60 days after notice to XM by Distributor;
(D) a final nonappealable judgment or final nonappealable judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against XM and such judgment or judgments remain undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds $10,000,000 (net of any amounts with respect to which a reputable and creditworthy insurance company has acknowledged liability in writing);
(E) XM or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(3) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,
(4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(5) generally can not pay its debts as they become due;
11
(F) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(1) is for relief against XM or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;
(2) appoints a custodian of XM or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of XM or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or
(3) orders the liquidation of XM or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;
(ii) Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 13(h)(i) hereof with respect to XM, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Significant Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, Distributor may declare the Deferrals to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the principal amount of the Deferrals, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 13(h)(i) hereof occurs with respect to XM, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, the outstanding principal amount of the Deferrals shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Distributor may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal amount, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
(iii) Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Distributor may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal and interest on the Deferrals or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Agreement.
A delay or omission by Distributor in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
(iv) Waiver of Past Defaults. Distributor may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
12
(i) Planned Refinancing. If at any time following a Debt Replacement Transaction, the GM Credit Facility becomes secured (with either a first priority or subordinated security interest), then all Deferrals under this Agreement shall be entitled to the benefit of a security interest with substantially the same terms and priority as under the GM Credit Facility, including with respect to the documentation that is to be executed and implemented to create and perfect such security interest and the timing of such execution and implementation, and the parties shall amend this Agreement as needed to reflect such security interest.
In addition, if at any time following a Debt Replacement Transaction, the GM Credit Facility has the benefit of a guarantee by XM Leasing Subsidiary or other guarantee by one or more subsidiaries of XM, then, if at such time the Deferrals under this Agreement do not have the benefit of such guarantees, all Deferrals under this Agreement shall be entitled to the benefit of any such guarantees in the same manner as under the GM Credit Facility, and the parties shall amend this Agreement as needed to reflect such guarantees.
