Explanation of Responses:

1. Each Grantor Retained Annunity Trust ("GRAT") may elect into convert any or all of its Class B shares to an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration.

2. There is no formal agreement to vote or dispose of the shares owned by each GRAT in a particular manner. The dispositive and voting power of the shares held by each of the GRATs is made independent of each other, except to the extent that Mr. William R. Gouger is the trustee of each of the GRATs and in that respect is able to control the disposition and voting of the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by each such GRAT.

3. On November 30, 2010, Charles W. Ergen established four GRATs, contributing 2,500,000 Class B shares to each, resulting in the transfer of a total of 10,000,000 Class B shares.
