 (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.

 6 

 indefinitely unless such shares are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such

conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about Holdings, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through an

 THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE
RE-OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 Certificates evidencing Class A Common Stock shall not be required to contain such legend (i) following any sale of such Class A Common
Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Class A Common Stock under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) if such

constitute a breach of, or default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of either of XM or
Holdings pursuant to any material contract, indenture, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument to which it is party, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter
documents of either of XM or Holdings or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality, stock exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market or court, domestic or foreign, having
jurisdiction over either of XM or Holdings or any of their assets or properties. 
 (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

Section 14, and adding the following as the new Section 13: 
 13. DEFERRED PAYMENTS: 
 (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. 
 (b) Request for Deferral. XM may effect a Deferral of a Contractual Obligation by
delivering to Distributor a completed Request for Deferral in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Request for Deferral”) at any date and time not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the date such
Contractual Obligation is due and owing. 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”).

Request for Deferral be made in respect of any amount for which a Request for Advance (as defined in the GM Credit Facility) has been delivered and honored. 
 (c) Interest. 
 (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

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. 
 (ii) Mandatory Prepayments.

is obligated, on or before March 31st of each calendar year (a “Prepayment Date”), to use fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash for the fiscal year most recently then ended to prepay all or part of the amount outstanding
under the GM Credit Facility. 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.

indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into another entity (whether or not XM is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in any such case, other
than in connection with a Parent Company Merger, then the Deferrals shall be immediately prepaid in whole, including all interest thereon, without premium or penalty.

 (B) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Deferral Date.

 (v) If at the Deferral Date the GM Credit Facility is then secured (with either a first priority or subordinated security interest) and
Deferrals under this Agreement do not then have the benefit of a security interest with substantially the same terms and priority as under the 
  

 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)

 (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

$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:

 (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;

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. 
 Following the consummation of a Debt Replacement Transaction: 
 (i) The definition of “Deferral Limit” shall be automatically amended and restated to read as follows without any further action of any of the Parties hereto: 
 (a) “Deferral Limit” means the agreement of Distributor to permit Deferrals by XM so long as the aggregate principal amount of such
Deferrals outstanding at any time does not exceed $150,000,000 less any amounts then outstanding under the GM Credit Facility; provided however, that for so long as at least $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of XM’s 10% Senior
Secured Discount Convertible Notes due 2009 remains outstanding, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Deferrals outstanding at any time shall be $37,500,000 less any amounts then outstanding under the GM Credit Facility. 
 (b) Section 4 shall be automatically amended to delete the last three sentences of Section 4(c) without any further action of any of the
Parties hereto. 
 (ii) The following shall automatically be added as Section 13(g)(vi) without any further action of any of the
Parties hereto: 
 “(v) If XM has in place a New Credit Facility under which it is then eligible to borrow funds, XM shall have borrowed
at least 75% of the amount available for borrowing under the New Credit Facility.” 
 (iii) The Parties acknowledge that the first
paragraph of this Section 13(i) governs whether Deferrals under this Agreement would be entitled to the benefit of any security interest. 
 (iv) The following shall be automatically added as the last sentence of Section 4(a) to read as follows without any further action of any of the Parties hereto: 
  

 13 

 “If XM completes a Debt Replacement Transaction that raises $800 million or more in gross proceeds,
not more than $560 million of which is used to retire, redeem or purchase Indenture Debt and pay costs associated with the Debt Replacement Transaction, XM shall satisfy in full the guaranteed payments it owes to Distributor for each of the 2007,
2008 and 2009 calendar years by paying to Distributor, no later than 3 business days after the closing of such Debt Replacement Transaction, $237,000,000, which amount represents the present value of such guaranteed payments, as agreed by XM and
Distributor. This amount shall be paid to Distributor, unless otherwise jointly directed by Distributor and GM in a written notice to XM at least five business days before the due date of such payment.” 
 (v) Following the execution of the New Credit Facility, the Parties shall amend and restate the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”
hereunder to conform to the corresponding definition in the New Credit Facility. 
 (j) Expenses. XM will pay all reasonable expenses
relating to this Section 13, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel for Distributor with respect to this Section 13. 
 1.4 Amendment to Section 14. The first sentence of Section 14(a), which was previously numbered Section 13(a), is hereby amended and restated as follows: 
 “Either party or its authorized representative shall have the right, at its expense, to inspect, audit, and copy any such books and records of the
other party, at the other party’s offices, during normal business hours upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, that relate to the performance of the other party’s obligations hereunder. Notice of the desire to
exercise audit rights pursuant to this Section 14(a) must occur within one year of the date on which the related reimbursement or payment was made.” 
 ARTICLE II 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 2.1 Representations and Warranties. Each of XM and Holdings represents and warrants to Distributor and Distributor represents and warrants
to each of XM and Holdings that (i) it has the power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to perform fully its obligations hereunder; (ii) it is under no contractual or other legal obligation that shall in any way interfere with
its full, prompt and complete performance hereunder; (iii) the individual executing this Amendment on its behalf has the authority to do so; and (iv) the obligations created by this Amendment, insofar as they purport to be binding on it,
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 2.2 Original Agreement. Except
as specifically amended hereby, the Original Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified by the Parties. Exhibit A to this Amendment shall be attached to and made a part of the Original Agreement. 
  

 14 

 2.3 Additional Party. GM is hereby executing this Amendment for purposes of becoming a
party to the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. From and after the date of this Amendment, GM shall be deemed to be a party to the Original Agreement, and from and after the date of this Amendment, GM and Distributor shall be jointly
and severally liable to XM and Holdings for all obligations under the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. XM and Holdings shall be jointly and severally liable to GM and Distributor for all obligations under the Original Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment, provided, however, that any payments under Section 4 of the Original Agreement shall be paid by XM and Holdings only to Distributor, unless each of Distributor and GM direct Holdings and XM, in a writing signed by
each of Distributor and GM and delivered to Holdings and XM at least five business days before the due date, to make all or part of the payments owing under Section 4 of the Original Agreement to GM in which case Holdings and XM shall be
relieved and discharged from any obligation to make such payments to Distributor to the extent Holdings and XM make such payments to GM. Reasonably promptly following the execution of the New Credit Facility (or if no such facility is entered into
within the 30 day period following the effectiveness of this Amendment, reasonably promptly following completion of such period), the parties hereto shall amend and restate the Original Agreement and the GM Credit Facility to combine them into one
agreement, with GM and Distributor, on the one hand, and XM and Holdings, on the other, having joint and several rights and obligations (subject to the single payment obligation of Holdings and XM described above) thereunder, but such combination
into one agreement shall not effect any other substantive changes to the agreement. 
 2.4 Governing Law. This Amendment and
all manners or issues collateral thereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than New York General Obligations Law Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402. 
 2.5 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different Parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 EXHIBIT 10.3 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 This THIRD AMENDMENT is dated as of April 19, 2006 (this “Amendment”) and entered into by and among XM SATELLITE RADIO INC., XM
SATELLITE RADIO HOLDINGS INC., GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION (“General Motors” or “GM”) and ONSTAR CORPORATION (collectively, the “Parties,” and each, a “Party”). 
 WITNESSETH 
 WHEREAS, GM, XM Satellite
Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of January 28, 2003, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement in January 2004 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement in December
2005 (collectively, the “Original Agreement”), providing, among other things, that the Lender has agreed to finance payment obligations (the “Contractual Obligations”) from time to time owing by the Borrowers in
cash to the Lender or OnStar Corporation (“OnStar”), a subsidiary of the Lender, by allowing the Borrowers to make periodic draws in an aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000 at any time outstanding for the purpose of making
payments to the Lender or OnStar; 
 WHEREAS, XM is amending its Distribution Agreement with OnStar (the “Distribution
Agreement”) to provide that XM may defer (“Distribution Agreement Deferrals”) up to $100,000,000 at any time outstanding of amounts owed to OnStar under the Distribution Agreement, less any amounts outstanding under the
Original Agreement, such deferrals to be on similar terms as Advances under the Original Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement Amendment”); 
 WHEREAS, XM is further amending the Distribution Agreement to provide that upon the completion of planned refinancing transactions, (i) the ability of XM to pay up to $35,000,000 of subscriber bounty payments in
stock will be eliminated and the Distribution Agreement Deferrals amount will increase to $150,000,000 (the “OnStar Change to All Cash Facility”), and (ii) XM’s obligations thereunder will cease to be secured (unless
amounts drawn under the Original Agreement also are secured following the refinancing), and the Parties wish to amend the Original Agreement to provide that upon the completion of planned refinancing transactions, the Loan Commitment amount will
increase to $150,000,000 and the Collateral that secures amounts drawn under the Original Agreement will be released, provided that under certain circumstances described below the Lender shall be granted a second priority security interest in
certain collateral to secure such amounts subject to a first priority security interest granted to lenders under a new credit facility to be put in place by XM in connection with the refinancing of its senior secured indenture debt with newly issued
unsecured debt or granted under other Permitted Indebtedness; and 
 WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Original Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 AMENDMENTS 
 1.1 Amendment of
Existing Definition. Section 1.1 of the Original Agreement is amended by amending and restating the following definition in its entirety as follows: 
 “Commitment Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof, and ending upon the earliest of (i) termination of the Second Amended Distribution Agreement, (ii) the date that is
six months after the Company achieves Investment Grade Status and (iii) December 31, 2009. 
 “Lender” means General
Motors Corporation or OnStar Corporation, jointly and severally. 

 “Loan Commitment” shall mean the obligation of the Lender to make Advances to the
Borrowers for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Contractual Obligations in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 at any time outstanding, less any outstanding Deferrals under and as defined in the Second
Amendment to the Second Amended Distribution Agreement. 
 “Maturity Date” means the earlier of (i) the date that is
six months after the Company achieves Investment Grade Status and (ii) December 31, 2009. 
 “Pre-Marketing Cash
Flow” means earnings before interest income and expense, other income, income or loss from equity investments, taxes, depreciation (including amounts related to research and development) and amortization, including deferred income on
Holdings’ consolidated balance sheet from XM Canada (“EBITDA”), calculated in the same manner as in consolidated financial statements contained in the reports of Holdings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but
excluding from such calculation (i) all marketing, advertising, subscriber acquisition and distribution expenses, (ii) compensation expenses associated with equity-based compensation for employees pursuant to SFAS No. 123R,
(iii) expenses relating to the retirement of debt or other deleveraging transactions, and (iv) all GM Revenues. 
 1.2
Addition of New Definitions. Section 1.1 of the Original Agreement is amended by inserting the following new definitions in alphabetical order: 
 “Debt Replacement Transaction” has the meaning set forth in Section 18.6 of this Agreement. 
 “Indenture Debt” means the Company’s 14% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2009, 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 and Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009. 
 “Investment Grade Status” means that the Company receives an issuer rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by
S&P (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Company for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within
the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, selected by the Company as a replacement agency) or receives similar ratings from any other two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

 “New Credit Facility” means a senior secured bank credit facility of the Company initially anticipated to be
approximately $250 million expected to be entered in or about April or May 2006 but which may be increased by up to $100 million in accordance with its terms. 
 “Permitted Indebtedness” means senior secured debt (whether secured by a first or second lien or otherwise) that is permitted to be incurred by the Borrowers consistent with the terms of the New
Credit Facility, whether as a draw under the New Credit Facility or a permitted incurrence from a third party that is not prohibited by the New Credit Facility, and whether by the terms of the New Credit Facility or with a consent or waiver from the
lenders under the New Credit Facility which is obtained, provided, however, that in the event the New Credit Facility terminates prior to the end of the Commitment Period or the New Credit Facility is amended to eliminate the limitations on the
Company’s ability to incur senior secured debt, Permitted Indebtedness means the senior secured debt contemplated by the first clause of this paragraph prior to such termination or amendment, and provided further, that the amount of Permitted
Indebtedness will not exceed $500 million, including advances under the New Credit Facility. 
 “Trigger Event” means

 1.3 Amendment of

 2 

 18.6 Planned Refinancing 
 18.6.1 Lender acknowledges that the Company is intending to replace the Indenture Debt with newly issued unsecured debt, and to seek to release the
rights and interests of secured creditors with respect to the Liens under the Security Agreements. Lender agrees that if at least 80% of the Indenture Debt outstanding as of December 31, 2005 is replaced with unsecured debt or otherwise retired
or redeemed in a manner that does not result in the incurrence of new secured debt (a “Debt Replacement Transaction”) other than the New Credit Facility, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, (i) any and all
security interests granted by Borrowers to or for the benefit of Lender under or in connection with this Agreement, the Security Agreements and/or the Intercreditor Agreements or any other agreement shall be deemed to be, and shall be, automatically
terminated and released without any further action required on the part of any person or entity and Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall be, an unsecured creditor to the extent of any amounts owing by Borrower to Lender under any agreement or
otherwise, (ii) without limiting or affecting the provisions set forth in (i) above, Lender shall, at the request of Borrowers, instruct the Collateral Agent to release all security interests in favor of Lender (and any other rights and
interests of Lender with respect to the Liens) under the Security Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 18.6.2 Following the
consummation of a Debt Replacement Transaction: 
 (a) The following definition shall be automatically amended and restated to read as follows
without any further action of any of the Parties hereto: 
 “Loan Commitment” shall mean the obligation of the Lender to make
Advances to the Borrowers for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Contractual Obligations in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 at any time outstanding, less any outstanding Deferrals under and as defined in
the Second Amendment to the Second Amended Distribution Agreement; provided however, that for so long as at least $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Borrowers’ 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Notes due 2009 remains
outstanding, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at any time shall be $37,500,000 less any outstanding Deferrals under the Second Amendment to the Second Amended Distribution Agreement. 
 The parties acknowledge that at the same time that the change in the size of the Loan Commitment occurs, the OnStar Change to All Cash Facility also will
occur. 
 (b) Section 4.2 of the Original Agreement shall be automatically amended by adding the following new clause (d) without
any further action of any of the Parties hereto: 
 “If the Company has in place a New Credit Facility under which it is then eligible to
borrow funds, the Company shall have borrowed at least 75% of the amount available for borrowing under the New Credit Facility.” 
 (c)
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender shall be granted, and the Borrowers and Lender agree to enter into such agreements or amendments as may be required to effect, a security interest in favor of Lender to secure any and all Advances
(whether made at the time of the Trigger Event or subsequently) that is the same as but subordinated to the security interest in favor of the creditors under the New Credit Facility and Permitted Indebtedness, which subordination may be effected by
a subordination agreement in favor of the lenders under the New Credit Facility upon terms satisfactory to the creditors under the New Credit Facility (the “Future Security Interest”). 
 (d) Section 2.2 of the Original Agreement shall be automatically amended and restated to read as follows without any further action of any of the
Parties hereto: 
 Request for Advance. Either Borrower may request an Advance by delivering to Lender a completed Request for Advance
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Request for Advance”) not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time at least one business day prior to the date such Advance is to be funded. If at the date of such Request for Advance the
Borrowers shall not previously have executed such agreements or 
  

 3 

 amendments and documentation (the “Documentation”) and recorded financing statement(s) with the
appropriate offices of the Secretary of State as may be required to effect and perfect the Future Security Interest in accordance with Section 18.6(c), the Borrowers shall as a condition of such Advance execute such Documentation and record the
financing statement(s) as may be required to effect and perfect the Future Security Interest in accordance with Section 18.6(c). Such Request for Advance shall be signed by an authorized officer of such Borrower and shall indicate the amount of
the requested Advance, a description of the Contractual Obligations for which such Advance is being requested, and the date for such Advance, which shall be the date on which the Contractual Obligations being funded by such Advance shall become due
and owing (the “Funding Date”). If the Borrowers are effecting the Future Security Interest in connection with such Request for Advance, as a condition of funding the Advance, Lender shall have received a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of each of the Borrowers, dated the date of the Advance certifying (i) that the Documentation has been effected; (ii) that the necessary financing statement(s) have been recorded
in the appropriate offices; (iii) that the Future Security Interest is junior only to the security interests securing the New Credit Facility and the Permitted Indebtedness; (iv) there is no Default or Event of Default under the
Distribution Agreement or this Agreement; and (v) that the Borrowers continue to be obligated to make payments under the Distribution Agreement. Each Request for Advance shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Lender. To the
extent the Borrowers grant any security interests to OnStar under the Distribution Agreement, the Borrowers agree to execute similar Documentation hereunder. 
 (e) Following execution of the New Credit Facility, if requested by Lender, the Borrowers and Lender shall amend and restate the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” hereunder to conform to the
corresponding definition in the New Credit Facility. 
 ARTICLE II 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 2.1 Original Agreement. Except as specifically
amended hereby, the Original Agreement, shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified by the Parties. 
 2.2
Additional Party. OnStar is hereby executing this Third Amendment for purposes of becoming a party to the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, as a Lender thereunder. From and after the date of this Amendment, OnStar shall
be deemed to be a party to the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, as a Lender thereunder and all references under the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, to Lender shall refer to and include both GM and OnStar, each of
which shall, from and after the date of this Amendment, be jointly and severally liable to Borrowers for all obligations under the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. Further, from and after the date of this Amendment, each of the
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to GM and OnStar for all obligations under the Original Agreement, provided, however, that any payment obligations owing under Section 4 of the Distribution Agreement shall be paid by Borrowers
only to OnStar, unless each of OnStar and GM direct Borrowers, in a writing signed by each of OnStar and GM and delivered to XM at least five business days before the due date, to make all or part of the payments owing under Section 4 of the
Distribution Agreement to GM in which case Borrowers shall be relieved and discharged from any obligation to make such payments to OnStar to the extent Borrowers make such payments to GM. Reasonably promptly following the execution of the New Credit
Facility (or if no such facility is entered into within the 30 day period following the effectiveness of this Amendment, reasonably promptly following completion of such period), the parties hereto shall amend and restate the Original Agreement and
the Distribution Agreement to combine them into one agreement, with GM and OnStar , on the one hand, and each of the Borrowers, on the other, having joint and several rights (subject to the single payment obligation of Borrowers described above) and
obligations thereunder, but such combination into one agreement shall not effect any other substantive changes to the agreement. 
 2.3
Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AS APPLICABLE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
THEREOF OTHER THAN NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402.

 2.4 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
