The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time. The Voting Shares represent (i) 509,970 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially directly by Mr. Moskowitz, (ii) 17,453 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially indirectly by Mr. Moskowitz in EchoStar’s 401(k) Employee Savings Plan; (iii) 1,265 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially indirectly by Mr. Moskowitz in EchoStar’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (iv) 1,328 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially by Mr. Moskowitz as custodian for his minor children, (v) 8,184 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially as trustee for Mr. Charles W.

(2) “Sixty Day Shares” are shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned under Rule 13d-3(d)(1) because Mr. Moskowitz has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such shares within 60 days of the date hereof. Upon acquisition by the Mr. Moskowitz, these shares will become Voting Shares.

(3) Based on 210,275,545 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and assuming conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person into Class A Common Stock. Because such Class B Common Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock, assuming conversion of all shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, the percentage of the Class A Common Stock that the Reporting Person may be deemed to own beneficially would be approximately 11.3%. Because each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share, the Reporting Person owns beneficially equity securities of the Company representing approximately 19.3% of the voting power of the Company (assuming no conversion of the Class B Common Stock).

15 of 17

securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies nor are any of the securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities.
