Seller hereby consents to such assignment and to the creation of such Lien and security interest and acknowledges receipt of copies of the Indenture. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge that (i) this Purchase Agreement constitutes a “Granting Clause Document” under the Indenture and (ii) so long as the Lien of the Indenture is in effect, the Indenture Trustee is, and is intended to be, a third party beneficiary of this Purchase Agreement (including as to the representations and warranties, the covenants and the indemnification obligations of Seller hereunder). In no event shall Buyer grant or consent to any waiver, amendment, modification or supplement to this Purchase Agreement (except to the extent permitted by the Indenture) without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, until the Lien of the Indenture shall have been terminated or discharged. Buyer agrees that it shall not otherwise assign or convey its right, title and interest in and to this Purchase Agreement, except as permitted by and subject to the provisions of this Purchase Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Indenture.

4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER

Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to, and agrees with, Buyer as follows:

4.01 Satellite Location and Seller’s Actions. Seller (or its Affiliates) has obtained from the FCC and any other applicable Governmental Authority all the authority required to place the Satellite in its Permanent Orbital Location and to operate the Satellite at that location in Seller’s satellite radio business (the “Satellite License”). Seller shall not move (or cause or suffer to be moved) or seek to move, without Buyer’s prior consent, the Satellite to an orbital location different from the Permanent Orbital Location; provided, however, that without Buyer’s prior consent, Seller (i) may, and shall be obligated to, move the Satellite (at Seller’s expense) to a different orbital location at any time or times if required to comply with a requirement of the FCC, and (ii) may seek to move, and may move, the Satellite to a different orbital location if (A) it would not have the effect of


Transponder Purchase Agreement		3		CONFIDENTIAL

reducing the fuel below the amount of fuel necessary for Buyer’s Transponders to have an economic useful life of fifteen (15) years in the aggregate measured from the In-Service Date or (with regard to matters other than fuel) have an Adverse Effect following expiration or termination of the Lease (taking into account any reasonably expected repositioning at the end of the Basic Term) and (B) Seller has all Governmental Body authorizations necessary to operate in the new orbital position. Seller shall give notice of any such move to Buyer promptly after a decision to move the Satellite to a different orbital location has been made by Seller, and shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to Buyer to the effect that the conditions described in clauses (A) and (B) have been met in connection with such move of the Satellite. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall seek any order or approval from the FCC requiring or allowing the movement of the Satellite other than pursuant to clause (ii) above. Seller has not taken, and will not take, any action with respect to the Satellite or FCC licenses or approvals relating thereto which would adversely affect Buyer’s ownership or materially adversely affect the use of Buyer’s Transponders, except as is otherwise expressly provided for in this Purchase Agreement or any of the Operative Documents. Except as disclosed to Buyer (i) in the Legal and Regulatory Disclosures, or (ii) in writing to Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Note Purchasers and Owner Participant prior to the date of this Purchase Agreement, Seller has not violated, and will not violate, any Applicable Law that would have an Adverse Effect.

4.02 Transponder Performance Specifications. Buyer’s Transponders have not suffered an Event of Loss and on the date hereof meet the Transponder Performance Specifications set forth in Annex 1 to the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, except to the extent (if any) identified in a certificate, satisfactory to Buyer, delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to execution and delivery of this Purchase Agreement, as having not met the Transponder Performance Specifications. This representation (to the extent relating to satisfaction of the Transponder Performance Specifications) is based upon the acceptance tests conducted following the In-Service Date as reflected in the report referred to in Section 3.01(x)(i) of the Participation Agreement (the “Acceptance Tests”), which Acceptance Tests are sufficient to enable Seller to determine with a high degree of certainty whether the Transponder Performance Specifications have been met. The Acceptance Tests are sufficient to furnish to the Independent Appraiser information concerning such physical characteristics of the Satellite and Buyer’s Transponders as the Independent Appraiser reasonably indicates is necessary for the Independent Appraiser to complete the Closing Date Appraisal. Seller has provided to Buyer’s Satellite Consultant, the results of the Acceptance Tests, to the extent not included in such report.

4.03 Title. On the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer good and marketable title to Buyer’s Transponders free from all liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances without limitation, except for Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof. Seller will, at its own cost and expense, defend Buyer against any claim by a third party that, except with respect to any such Permitted Lien, Seller did not deliver good and marketable title to Buyer’s Transponders free and clear of all liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances.

Orbital Location, which XM reasonably determines it would not be able to support and service under the Service Agreement with XM’s (or Seller’s) then existing technical facilities, either at all or without unreasonably interfering with the use of such facilities for supporting XM’s (or Seller’s) other satellites, then Seller shall have the right to sell the Satellite to Buyer at a purchase price equal to One Hundred Dollars ($100). In order to exercise its right to sell the Satellite pursuant to this Section 11.04, Seller shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice regarding such Lessor Orbital Location, give irrevocable notice to Buyer in writing stating that Seller will sell the Satellite pursuant to this Section 11.04. If Seller exercises its right to sell the Satellite in accordance with the foregoing, then on the date that is ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s irrevocable notice to sell the Satellite (i) Buyer shall pay the purchase price for the Satellite; (ii) upon receipt of the payments set forth in the preceding clause, and the receipt of all necessary governmental approvals as described in Section 10(a) of the Lease, Seller shall transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall accept from Seller, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Satellite, as is and where is, free and clear of Liens (other than any Liens in favor of Buyer), but otherwise without warranty; and (iii) Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall accept from Seller a ▇▇▇▇ of sale or assignment and such other instruments, documents and opinions as Buyer may reasonably request to evidence the valid consummation of such transfer. In the event of any proposed sale by Seller pursuant to this Section 11.04, Buyer shall have the right to supersede such proposed sale by exercising its right to sell Buyer’s Transponders to Seller under Section 11.03.

11.05 Except as expressly provided for under the Operative Documents and XM Agreements (including Section 2.04 hereof), Seller shall not sell, assign, pledge, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or directly or indirectly create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on, Seller’s right, title or interest in the Satellite, other than Permitted Liens, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Owner Participant and, for so long as the Lien of the Indenture shall be in effect, the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after Redelivery of Buyer’s Transponders pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Lease, Buyer declines to exercise its purchase option under Section 11.03, this provision shall cease to be of any effect.

11.06 In the event that Buyer or Seller exercise their respective rights under Sections 11.03 or 11.04, as the case might be, with respect to the purchase of the Satellite, each party shall promptly execute and file all applications or other required requests to obtain any required consents from any Governmental Authority necessary for such party to effect the transfer or purchase, as applicable, in accordance with Applicable Law.

11.07 Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller likely will continue to operate satellites and associated terrestrial repeaters using the frequencies assigned to Seller (or its Affiliates) under its FCC licenses, and that if after Buyer purchases the Satellite in accordance with Sections 11.03 or 11.04 above, Buyer seeks to (a) sell the Satellite or the Transponders to any other third party, (b) lease the Transponders to any other third party or (c) enter into any other transaction involving title to or ownership of the Satellite or the Transponders (for the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that

(e) Trade Names; Etc. Seller does not have or operate in any jurisdiction under, or in the preceding five years has not had or operated in any jurisdiction under, any trade name, fictitious names or other names except its legal name as specified in Section 3(d) above.

(f) Further Actions. Seller will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to Buyer from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Satellite Security, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Satellite Security, as Buyer may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve, protect or enforce its security interest in the Satellite Security and to fully effect the purposes of this Security Annex, including any actions required to be consistent with present and future practices of secured parties intending to perfect security interests in satellites. Seller shall take, or cause it Affiliates and Subsidiaries to take, at Seller’s expense, any action that Buyer may reasonably request in order to obtain from the FCC, or any other applicable Governmental Authority, such approvals as may, at any time, be necessary (i) to enable Buyer to exercise and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to Buyer by this Security Annex and (ii) for any action or transaction contemplated by this Security Annex for which such approval is or shall be required by Applicable Law.

(h) Costs and Expenses. Without limiting the application of any other indemnity under the Operative Documents or XM Agreements (but without duplication), Seller agrees to pay or reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of Liens of Buyer on, and security interest in, the Satellite Security, including all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Satellite Security and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Satellite Security and Buyer’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Satellite Security.

4. Power of Attorney; Remedies Upon Occurrence of a Security Event.

(a) Power of Attorney. Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Buyer its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of and during the continuance of a Security Event (in the name of Seller or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to Seller under or arising out of the Satellite Security, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Buyer may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect its interests, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.

(b) Remedies; Obtaining the Satellite Security Upon Default. Seller agrees that, if any Security Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, Buyer, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under Applicable Law and under the provisions of the Operative Documents and XM Agreements, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws, in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted and may:

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession or control of the Satellite Security or any part thereof, from Seller or any other Person who then has possession or control of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law;


Transponder Purchase Agreement		C-6		CONFIDENTIAL

(ii) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Satellite Security or any part thereof in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Security Annex, or direct Seller to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Satellite Security or any part thereof, and in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; and/or

(iii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (3), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC;

subject, in the case of any Exclusive Unique Operational Equipment and Exclusive Unique Operational Information, to compliance with the ITAR, in the case of the use of such Exclusive Unique Operational Equipment and Exclusive Unique Operational Information, to other approval requirements described in Section 10.4(g) of the Service Agreement, and in general, to receipt of any necessary prior Governmental Authority approvals.

The parties hereto acknowledge that it is understood that Seller’s obligation so to deliver such Satellite Security is of the essence of this Agreement, the Operative Documents and the other XM Agreements and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, Buyer shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by Seller of said obligation.

(c) Remedies; Disposition of the Satellite Security. If any Security Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Satellite Security may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as Buyer may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of Applicable Law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of Applicable Law as may apply to the respective disposition. Buyer may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Secured Obligations against the purchase price) of the Satellite Security or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 4(c) of this Security Annex. Seller agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Satellite Security valid and binding and in compliance with any and all Applicable Laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at Seller’s expense.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and upon receipt of any necessary prior Governmental Authority approvals, any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Satellite Security in accordance with the terms hereof shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of Seller therein and thereto and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Seller and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Satellite Security so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through, and under Seller.

(d) Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to Buyer shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to Buyer under this Security Annex, the Operative Documents or the XM Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Buyer. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of Buyer in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Security Event or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on Seller in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that Buyer shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit Buyer may recover, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Seller hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of Seller; (ii) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any Operative Document or XM Agreement; or (iii) any amendment to or modification of any Operative Document or XM Agreement or any security for any of the Secured Obligations; whether or not Seller shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

(b) Duties of Seller and Buyer. It is expressly agreed, anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, that Seller shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Satellite Security, and Buyer shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Satellite Security by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall Buyer be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Seller under or with respect to any Satellite Security.
