During your employment with the Company, you shall be paid an annual base salary of $600,000 (the “Base Salary”), less applicable withholdings, to be paid on a semi-monthly basis through the Company’s regular payroll system and subject to any increases that the Company may approve in its sole discretion.

You also will be eligible to participate in any bonus plans generally offered to executive officers of the Company.

Bonus(es) will be subject to your individual performance and satisfaction of Company objectives, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

You will be eligible to participate in any Company provided benefit programs and other policies and fringe benefits which may generally be made available to full-time employees.

On the first business day after the date hereof on which Holdings and you are not subject to a blackout restriction (the “First Trading Day”), Holdings shall grant to you the following:

Such option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A; and

(b) a number of restricted stock units equal to $500,000, divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the First Trading Day. Such restricted stock units shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.

All compensation paid to you 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).

During your employment with the Company, the Company shall reimburse you for reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred and advanced by you in carrying out your duties under this Agreement, which will include the reasonable costs of coach class air-fare from your home in Portland to one of the Company’s offices (such office location to be in New York, New Jersey, and/or Texas as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, or such other location as mutually agreed upon between you and the Company) on a weekly basis along with reasonable hotel and meal expenses while at such Company office. Such expenses will not be grossed up and must be consistent with the Company’s travel and expense reimbursement policy and supported by adequate documentation as requested by the Company.

You agree to comply in all respects with the Company’s employee handbook, including but not limited to its Code of Ethics and Information Security and Privacy Policies, and all other applicable Holdings and/or Company policies and practices. The Company reserves the right to change any and all of its policies, including but not limited to its benefit and compensation plans, and the specific duties of your position from time to time.

Your employment at the Company is for no specified period of time. It is an at-will employment relationship, and either you or the Company may terminate the relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause (as defined below) and with or without notice.

If the Company terminates your employment without Cause (as defined below), and your employment is not terminated due to your death or Disability (as defined below), or if you terminate your employment for Good Reason (as defined below), then, in addition to your rights under any equity award agreements between you and the Company or Holdings, you shall be entitled to receive the following as severance (the “Severance Amount”) (in addition to any salary, benefits or other sums due to you through your termination date):

of such benefits; (b) you timely complete all required paperwork to continue such benefits pursuant to COBRA; and (c) such coverage, and the Company’s agreement to pay for such coverage, shall terminate as of the date that you are eligible for comparable benefits from a new employer. You shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible for coverage of any such comparable benefits.

The Company’s obligations under the preceding paragraph shall be conditioned upon you executing, delivering, and not revoking during any applicable revocation period, a separation agreement, and waiver and release of claims against the Company (“Release”), substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C within fifty-three (53) days of the date of termination of your employment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means the occurrence or existence of any of the following:

(i) a breach by you of the terms of this Agreement, provided that such breach remains uncured, as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion, after thirty (30) days have elapsed following the date on which the Company gives you written notice of such breach;

(ii) performance of your duties in a manner deemed by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, to be negligent;

(iii) any act of insubordination, dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud, or other misconduct by you involving the Company or any of its affiliates;

(iv) the conviction of or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent by you of any crime other than a traffic violation;

(v) any action by you causing damage to or misappropriation to any property of the Company or any of its affiliates;

(vi) your failure to comply with the policies and procedures of Holdings or the Company in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, either of their Code of Ethics and Information and Security Policies; or

(vii) conduct by you that demonstrates unfitness to serve as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates including any act, whether or not performed in the workplace, which subjects, or if publicly known, would likely subject the Company or any of its affiliates to public ridicule or embarrassment, or would likely be detrimental or damaging to the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ reputation or relationships with their subscribers, customers, vendors or employees.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) your ceasing to report solely and directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (ii) any material reduction in your Base Salary; (iii) or any material reduction in, or adverse alteration to, your title (without your prior written consent) for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery to the Company by you

of a written notice within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event, during which such thirty (30)-day period of continuation the Company shall be afforded an opportunity to cure such event; provided that no resignation will be for Good Reason unless you actually resign from employment effective as of a date within seventy-five (75) days after occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means your incapacity due to physical or mental illness to perform the duties of your position for more than one hundred and eighty (180) days within any twelve (12) month period.

During your employment and for six (6) months following the termination of your employment by you or the Company for any reason (such period, the “Restricted Period”), you will not, directly or indirectly, enter into the employment of, render services to, or otherwise assist, any person or entity engaged in any operations in North America involving the transmission or production of radio programming or any activity that competes with the business of the Company, including, without limitation, the business of telematics (any such person or entity, a “Competitor”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “radio” shall be defined broadly and shall include, without limitation, traditional radio, terrestrial radio, satellite radio, digital radio, internet broadcasts, internet streaming, internet radio and radio devices and methods now known and hereafter developed. Should any provision of this paragraph be declared unenforceable by a court, then to the extent applicable this paragraph shall be deemed modified to restrict your competition with the Company to the maximum extent of time, scope and geography which the court shall find enforceable, and such paragraph shall be so enforced.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that during your employment you will not negotiate or enter into any discussions, or allow any other person or entity to discuss or negotiate on your behalf, with any Competitor concerning employment with or rendering services to such Competitor. You also agree that during the Restricted Period, you will (i) not call on or otherwise solicit business or assist others to solicit business from any of the customers or potential customers of the Company as to any product or service that competes with the Company as of the termination date of your employment; and (ii) not solicit or assist others to solicit the employment of or hire or otherwise retain the services of any employee or independent contractor of the Company (or any individual who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company within the preceding six months) without the prior written consent of the Company. As used herein, “solicit” shall include, without limitation, directly or indirectly requesting, encouraging, enticing, assisting, or causing.

You agree that during your employment and thereafter, you shall not make any statements or comments that could be considered to shed an adverse light on the business, reputation or personnel of the Company or its affiliates; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to your compliance with law or legal process.

You shall not accept or receive, either directly or indirectly, money, services or any other valuable consideration (other than your compensation paid directly through the Company’s payroll department) in connection with or related to your participation, directly or indirectly, in program material broadcast or transmitted by the Company or its affiliates, or for playing certain

content or broadcasting any matter, including, without limitation, references to, or endorsement or identification of, any product, service or content. You shall notify the Company immediately in writing of receipt of any such payment or thing of value or any approaches or overtures made to you by anyone to insert, use or otherwise mention, refer or endorse of any product, service, content or other matter in any programming by the Company or its affiliates.

You represent and warrant that neither you nor any member of your immediate family has any interest, either directly or indirectly, in any broadcasting company, record company, retail store, music or video publishing (physical or electronic) company, internet or new technology interests, concert promotion company, professional singers or musicians. Should you or any such family member acquire any such interest (other than an interest acquired solely as a result of the purchase of less than 5% of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation), such acquisitions shall be promptly reported in writing to the Company’s General Counsel.

You acknowledge that in the course of your employment you will occupy a position of trust and confidence. You shall not, except as may be required to perform your duties or as required by applicable law, disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean information about the Company’s business and operations that is not publicly disclosed by the Company and that was learned by you in the course of your employment by the Company, including but not limited to any proprietary knowledge, business plans, business strategies, budget information, product plans, patents, trade secrets, data, formulae, sketches, notebooks, blueprints, employee information, pricing and cost data, and client and customer lists and all papers and records (including computer records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that becomes public other than through disclosure, directly or indirectly, by you or information you are required to disclose by law or legal process (provided that you provide the Company immediately with prior written notice of the legally required disclosure and reasonably cooperate with the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information if it chooses to do so). You acknowledge that such Confidential Information is specialized, unique in nature and of great value to the Company, and that such information gives the Company a competitive advantage. You agree to deliver or return to the Company, at the Company’s request at any time or upon termination of your 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 the Company or prepared by you in the course of your employment by the Company.

The results and proceeds of your services (collectively, the “Work Product”) shall be “works made for hire” for the Company under United States Copyright Law and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. You shall promptly execute and deliver all documents necessary to transfer all right, title and interest in the Work Product to the Company. You hereby covenant to the Company that no Work Product will infringe upon or violate any intellectual property rights or any other rights whatsoever of any third parties. To the extent that any of the results and proceeds of your services may not, by operation of law, be “works made for hire,” you hereby assign to the Company (or its designee) ownership of these materials, and the Company (or its designee) shall have the right to obtain and hold in its own name or transfer to others, copyrights, and similar protection which may be available in such materials. Any

preexisting works utilized by you in the performance of your duties shall remain your exclusive property.

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 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 such Separation from Service takes place shall be your termination date. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and determined pursuant to policies adopted by the Company) at the time of your Separation from Service and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by you upon Separation from Service would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following your Separation from Service and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following your Separation from Service will instead be paid or made available on the earlier of (1) the first (1^st) business day of the seventh (7^th) month following the date of your Separation from Service and (2) your death.

To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A (it being understood that certain compensation arrangements under this Agreement are intended not to be subject to Section 409A). This Agreement shall be construed, to the maximum extent permitted, in a manner to give effect to such intention. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon termination of your employment may only be made upon a Separation from Service. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. You acknowledge that you have been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Section 409A. Each payment under this Agreement shall be regarded as a “separate payment” and not of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A.

With respect to any amount of business expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant to Company policy, such expenses will be reimbursed by the Company within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Company receives the applicable invoice from you in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies, but in no event later than the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which you incur the related expenses. In no event will the reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided by the Company in one taxable year affect the amount of reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, nor will your right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

You acknowledge that a portion of the compensation being paid to you by the Company is paid expressly in consideration of the covenants contained herein. You also acknowledge that: (a) the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable in order to protect the legitimate

business interests of the Company; (b) a breach by you of any of the terms of this Agreement would result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Company that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award; and (c) in the event of any such breach, in addition to all of the other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, it would be reasonable for the Company to obtain a restraining order, injunction, a decree of specific performance and/or other equitable relief to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that you are not now under any contractual or other obligations, including but not limited to any non-compete obligations or non-solicitation provisions, that are inconsistent with or in conflict with this Agreement or that could prevent, limit, restrict, or impair your performance of your job duties or your obligations under this Agreement. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that you are a manager, and thereby meet the requirements of a “management employee” for purposes of New York’s Broadcast Employees Freedom to Work Act.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any incentive-based compensation, or any other compensation, paid to you pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates, which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company or any of its affiliates pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by you (including, without limitation, any payment or benefit received in connection with a change of control of the Company or Holdings, or the termination of your 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 you 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).

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.

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 you 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 you 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 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 non-compete covenant included in this Agreement, as determined by the Auditor or such other accounting, consulting or valuation firm selected by the Company prior to the change of control), 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.

At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company will provide you with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations, including any opinions or other advice the Company 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 you object to the Company’s calculations, the Company will pay to you such portion of the Total Payments (up to 100% thereof) as you determine is necessary to result in the proper application of the applicable preceding paragraphs. All determinations required by the applicable preceding paragraphs (or requested by either you or the Company in connection with such paragraphs) will be at the

expense of the Company. The fact that your right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in such paragraphs will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights you have under this Agreement.

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

Following the termination of the your employment for any reason, if and to the extent requested by the Company, you hereby agree to resign from all fiduciary positions (including, without limitation, as a member of any board or as trustee) and all other offices and positions you then hold with Holdings, the Company or any of their subsidiaries; provided that if you refuse to tender your resignation after the Company has made such request, then the Company will be empowered to tender your resignation from such offices and positions.

This Agreement, and any documents incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding their employment relationship and supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings and communications between the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of your restrictive covenant obligations under this Agreement (including but not limited to non-compete, non-solicit, confidentiality, non-disparagement and intellectual property restrictions herein) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenant obligations you may have pursuant to Company policy, any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates, or pursuant to applicable law. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive the right to a jury trial concerning any dispute between them, including, without limitation, as to any claims relating to the employment relationship between them or that arise out of or relate to this Agreement.

If any term of this Agreement conflicts with any practice or policy of the Company, now or in the future, the terms of this Agreement will control; provided that any restrictive covenant obligations under this Agreement will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other Company practice or policy. The terms of this Agreement may not be changed except by written agreement signed by you and either the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, or the General Counsel of the Company.

We ask that you confirm your understanding and acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein by signing the attached copy of this Agreement and returning it to me as soon as possible.

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 case of any other change in the Shares occurring after the date hereof, the number of RSUs 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 registered in the Company’s register of stockholders.

(b) If the Executive’s employment with Sirius XM terminates for any reason, the RSUs 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), the RSUs, to the extent not previously settled, cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately become vested and the Company shall issue, or cause there to be transferred, to the Executive (or to the Executive’s estate in the case of death) the amount of Shares equal to the number of RSUs granted to the Executive under this Agreement (to the extent not previously transferred, cancelled or forfeited), as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 above, if applicable. The foregoing condition that the Executive be an employee of Sirius XM shall, in the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment with Sirius XM due to death or Disability, by Sirius XM without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, be waived by the Company provided that the Executive (or his estate in the case of death) execute a release acceptable to the Company.

5. Non-transferable. The RSUs 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 RSUs or of any right or privilege conferred hereby shall be null and void.

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

8. Professional Advice. The acceptance of the RSUs 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 his personal legal and tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the RSUs.
