Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 10A(m) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), and Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d) to assist the Board of Directors in overseeing the Companys accounting and financial reporting processes and system of internal
controls; evaluating the qualifications and independence of the Companys independent auditor; and overseeing the Companys independent auditor.For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee:
(i) evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications and independence of the independent auditor; (ii) determines and approves the engagement of the independent auditor; (iii) determines whether to retain or terminate the
existing independent auditor or to appoint and engage a new independent

auditor; (iv) reviews and approves the retention of the independent auditor to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; (v) reviews and evaluates the qualifications,
performance and independence of the lead audit partner of the independent auditor and assures the regular rotation of the lead audit partner, reviewing partner and other audit engagement team partners of the independent auditor as required by law;
(vi) reviews and approves or rejects transactions between the Company and any related persons; (vii) confers with management and the independent auditor regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting;
(viii) establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and
anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; (ix) meets to review the Companys annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the
independent auditor, including reviewing the Companys disclosures under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and discusses, as appropriate, any major issues as to the adequacy
of the Companys internal controls and the adequacy of disclosures about changes in internal control over financial reporting; (x) annually reviews the terms of the directors and executive officers insurance coverage and approves the terms
prior to the renewal of the policy; (xi) reviews and assesses the adequacy of the Companys investment policy and recommends any proposed changes to the Board of Directors; (xii) ensures the Company maintains an internal audit
capability, at least annually evaluates the performance of the Companys internal audit capability, and discusses with the independent auditor and management the internal audit capabilities responsibilities, budget and staffing and any
recommended changes in the planned scope of the internal audit; and (xiii) has such other authority, duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors delegates to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is composed of three directors:
Messrs. Rowan (chairman), Ginn and Thompson. The Audit Committee met four times during the last fiscal year. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee that is available to stockholders on the Companys website
at www.ico.com.

The Board of Directors reviewed the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for
Audit Committee members and has determined that Messrs. Rowan, Ginn and Thompson are independent (as independence is currently defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2)(A)(i) and (ii)). The Board of Directors has also determined that
Mr. Rowan qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in the applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and The Nasdaq Global Market (Nasdaq).The Board of
Directors made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Rowans level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience as a chief financial officer for public reporting companies.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board of Directors to: (i) act on behalf of the Board of
Directors in fulfilling the Board of Directors responsibilities to oversee the Companys compensation policies, plans and programs; (ii) review and determine the compensation to be paid to the Companys executive officers and
directors; (iii) review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) with management and make a

##### Table of Contents

recommendation as to whether the CD&A should be included in the Companys annual report and/or proxy statement; (iv) prepare and review the Compensation Committee report included in
the Companys annual proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in effect from time to time; and (v) perform such other functions as may be deemed necessary or convenient in the efficient and lawful
discharge of the foregoing.

The Compensation Committee is composed of two directors: Messrs. Thompson (chairman) and Rowan,
each of whom is an independent director. The Compensation Committee met seven times during the last fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter that is available to stockholders on the Companys website at
www.ico.com.

Strategy Committee

The Strategy Committee is available to assist the Board of Directors in shaping its business strategy as the Company develops, including
recommending and evaluating potential strategic transactions. The Strategy Committee is composed of two directors: Messrs. McCaw (chairman) and Ginn. The Strategy Committee did not meet during the last fiscal year.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors believes that having Mr. Wolff hold the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides an
effective and appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time. The Board of Directors believes that combining the roles of Chairman and CEO promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board of Directors and
management. Moreover, in the view of the Board of Directors, this arrangement provides alignment and accountability in the development and execution of the Companys strategic initiatives and business. Mr. Wolff is highly familiar
with the Companys business and industry from his previous service as a Director of the Company and Co-Chairman and CEO of Clearwire, and the Board of Directors believes he can best set the strategic direction for the Company and lead
management to execute on that strategic direction by acting in his combined role.

Risk Oversight Policies

Our Board of Directors is responsible for providing risk oversight policies. Our management team is charged with
implementing these policies and managing our risk profile on a daily basis.

The Board of Directors has an active role, as a
whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Companys risks. The Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding the Companys credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with
each. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks related to the Companys executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks as well as having
oversight of the enterprise risk management of the Company. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed through committee reports
about such risks.

Risk Analysis of Compensation Plans

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the compensation policies as generally applicable to the Companys employees and believes
that these policies do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The design of the compensation policies and programs encourage the employees to remain focused on
both the short-and long-term goals of the Company. For example, while the cash bonus plan measures performance on an annual basis, the equity awards typically vest over a number of years, which we believe encourages the employees to focus on
sustained stock price appreciation, thus limiting the potential for excessive risk-taking.

Corporate Governance

Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures

In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee meets at least one time annually and with greater frequency if necessary. In
2009, it met seven times. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer may call meetings. From time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside
advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice, or otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not
participate in or be present during any deliberations or determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records,
facilities and personnel of the Company, as well as the authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants and other external resources that the
Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director
compensation, including the authority to approve the consultants reasonable fees and other retention terms.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee is, or was during the Companys last fiscal year, an officer or employee of ICO, and none of
the Companys executive officers serves, or during the Companys last fiscal year served, as a member of a compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive
officers serving as a member of the Companys Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee during the last fiscal year was formerly an officer of the Company. No executive officer of the Company serves, or during the
Companys last fiscal year served, as a director of another entity, one of whose directors sits on the Companys Compensation Committee.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Historically, the Company has not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the Board of Directors.
Nevertheless, the Company believes it has provided for the views of its stockholders to be heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner.
Stockholders may submit questions to the Investor Relations department by going to the Investor Relations section of the Companys website at www.ico.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Companys directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Companys equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater
than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the Companys knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written
representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied
with on a timely basis.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted the ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers,
directors and employees. The Code of Conduct and Ethics is available on the Companys website at www.ico.com. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Conduct and Ethics or grants any waiver from a provision
of the Code of Conduct and Ethics to any executive officer or director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on its website.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Controlled Company

Under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, a controlled company is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an
individual, a group or another company. The Board of Directors has determined that ICO is a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. The basis for the Board of Directors determination that the Company
is a controlled company is the beneficial ownership of approximately 65.8% of the voting power of the Companys outstanding capital stock, as of April 1, 2010 by Eagle River Satellite Holdings, LLC (ERSH), Eagle
River Partners, LLC (ERP) and Eagle River, Inc. Eagle River Investments, LLC is the sole member of ERSH. Benjamin G. Wolff, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the President of ERSH and Eagle River Investments, LLC and Craig

##### Table of Contents

O. McCaw, one of our directors, is the sole manager and beneficial member of Eagle River Investments, LLC. As a controlled company under Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, ICO
is exempted from complying with (1) Nasdaqs requirement that a majority of the Board of Directors consist of independent directors, (2) Nasdaqs requirement that the compensation of officers be determined, or recommended to the
Board of Directors for determination, by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (3) Nasdaqs requirement that director nominees be selected, or recommended for the
Board of Directors selection, by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors with a written charter or board resolution addressing the nomination process. The Company has elected
to use these exemptions available to controlled companies. The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors are independent directors although this exemption permits the Board of Directors to appoint non-independent directors to
the Compensation Committee.

Nominations Process

Because the Company qualifies as a controlled company, and in part as a result of the historically low turnover of its
members, the Board of Directors has not established a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors and has not adopted a nominating committee charter or a policy for the nomination of directors, other than as set out in the
Companys Bylaws.

The Board of Directors consults with the Companys counsel to ensure that its determinations are
consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of independent, including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of the Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time. Consistent with these
considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditor, the Board of Directors has determined that
Messrs. Ginn, Rowan, Thompson, and Wasserman are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, there were no changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our
Board of Directors.

The Company does not have a formal policy on diversity for its Board of Directors.

|-------- | ----------------------

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The primary goals of the Companys executive officer compensation program are to tie compensation to achievement of specified
performance objectives, to attract and retain talented and dedicated executives, and to align the Companys executive officers interests with those of its stockholders. The elements of this executive compensation program (some or all of
which may be applicable to any particular executive) include the following: base salary, annual bonus, equity incentive compensation and other compensation. Each element is designed to achieve one or more of the Companys goals regarding
performance, alignment and retention.

While the Compensation Committee sets and oversees compensation policy for all of the
Companys executive officers and directors, this discussion and analysis is limited to compensation granted to the Companys named executive officers.

The Company or its indirect, deconsolidated subsidiary, DBSD Satellite Services G.P. (DBSD Satellite), have entered into
employment letters or agreements with each of our named executive officers that, as modified by our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee from time to time, set the salary and, where applicable, targets for an annual discretionary bonus for
the applicable calendar year. Compensation costs are shared between the Company and DBSD according to the amount of time of each named executive officer is expected to devote to each company, as determined by the Board of Directors of each company.
In January 2010, in connection with the deconsolidation of DBSD from the Company, the Board of Directors of DBSD established a Compensation Committee composed of independent directors, which sets the compensation components and amounts paid by DBSD,
including compensation to our named executive officers for work performed for DBSD.

Compensation Objectives

The Compensation Committee designs compensation packages that seek to serve the goals of performance, alignment and retention.

Performance

One goal of the Companys executive compensation program is to reward individual performance and contributions toward Company
performance over a long period of time. At this stage of its development, the Company measures its performance primarily based on achievement of key strategic goals such as the development of its satellite system and achievement of other operational
milestones. The following elements of compensation are designed to achieve this goal:



| |  |  | equity incentive compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards, the value of which is contingent upon the performance of the
Companys share price, and subject to vesting schedules that require continued service with the Company and/or the achievement of certain performance conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | in the case of Mr. Wolff, a discretionary cash bonus opportunity, provided under his employment agreement, equal to 100% of his current annual
base salary, based upon individual and Company performance; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of Messrs. Flynn, Bagley and Day, a discretionary cash bonus opportunity, provided under each executives employment arrangement equal
to 30% of each executives current annual base salary, based upon individual and Company performance.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Base salary
amounts and cash bonuses are designed to reward annual achievements based upon responsibilities, demonstrated leadership, and management experience and effectiveness.

Alignment

The Company seeks to align the interests of its named executive officers with those of its stockholders by evaluating executive
performance on the basis of key operational measurements which the Company believes closely correlate to long-term stockholder value. The element of compensation that most directly aligns the interests of named executive officers with stockholders
is equity incentive compensation, which links a significant portion of compensation to stockholder value because the total value of those awards is tied to stock price appreciation.

Retention

The Company competes for executive talent in the technology and telecommunications industries and small and mid-cap public companies
generally. The Company intends to pay competitive salaries as well as a competitive total compensation package. To encourage retention of its named executive officers, the Company makes a substantial portion of their compensation dependent upon
continued service. The Companys equity incentive compensation awards require long-term continued service to receive any, or the maximum, payout.

Implementing the Companys Objectives

Determining Compensation

The Compensation Committee determines compensation for named executive officers after reviewing the overall performance of the Company and
evaluating executive performance during the year. The Compensation Committee evaluates executive performance based upon leadership, operational performance, responsibilities, and career with the Company. Specific factors affecting compensation
decisions for the Companys named executive officers include:



| |  |  | achievement of specific operational goals for the Company, including sustained progress in furtherance of its business; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | achievement of strategic objectives such as maintaining the value of the Companys assets, including those related to taxes, litigation and
spectrum; entering into key transactions; and achieving financial and other corporate goals.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company
considers competitive market compensation paid by other communications companies, but does not attempt to maintain a certain target percentile within a peer group or otherwise rely on data to determine executive compensation. The Company maintains
flexibility in its compensation program and in the assessment process which enables the Company to respond to and adjust for its evolving business environment.

The Company designs the mix of compensation elements to reward recent results and to motivate long-term performance through a combination
of cash and equity incentive awards. The Company also seeks to balance compensation elements that are based on operational and strategic measures with others that are based on the performance of its stock. The Company believes the most important
indicator of whether its compensation objectives are being met is its ability to motivate and to retain its named executive officers on a cost-effective basis.

Managements Role

Management coordinates the annual review of the compensation programs for all of the Companys named executive officers. This
includes an evaluation of individual and Company performance, competitive practices and trends, and various compensation issues. Based on the outcomes of this review, management makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the
compensation of each of the named executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee believes that input from management provides useful information and points of view to assist the Compensation Committee in
making compensation decisions. Although the Compensation Committee receives information and recommendations regarding the design and level of compensation of the Companys named executive officers from management, the Compensation Committee
makes the final decisions as to the plan design and compensation levels for these executives.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for the review, evaluation and approval of programs to ensure
that they are reasonable, consistent with the Companys stated compensation objectives and consistent with its business goals and objectives. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Thompson, who serves as the chairman,
and Mr. Rowan.

The Compensation Committee has authority and responsibility for the review, evaluation and approval of
the compensation for all of the Companys executive officers and directors. This includes establishing compensation objectives, and policies and plans covering the Companys executive officers. The Compensation Committee also conducts an
annual review of the Chief Executive Officer and approves his annual compensation.

##### Table of Contents

Annual Review of Executive Compensation

The pay of each executive officer is not determined by a formula, but in comparison to positions with similar responsibilities and impact
on operations in the market generally and within our Company. Each year, the Compensation Committee evaluates each named executive officers total compensation, equity holdings and merit history, including managements recommendations
regarding the appropriate compensation for each named executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer. In making its decisions on each named executive officers compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the nature and scope of
all elements of the executive officers total compensation package, responsibilities, and his or her effectiveness in supporting the Companys key strategic, operational and financial goals. The Compensation Committee also considers
recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding total compensation for those officers reporting directly to him.

For 2009, the Compensation Committee reviewed the information prepared by management, considered each executives contribution to
the achievement of strategic goals and objectives, the executives overall compensation and other factors to determine the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation.

Equity Grant Practices

The Companys equity grant process authorizes the Companys Chief Executive Officer to grant options to
newly hired employees and consultants who do not directly report to him and are not reporting persons for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, subject to certain limitations. The option must have an exercise price equal to the closing
share price on the date of grant, which is to be made on the
15thof each month that is on or after the service
providers service start date. The number of shares covered by the option are limited based on the position (up to 250,000 shares for an employee who is a senior vice president), and the total number of shares covered by options granted by the
Chief Executive Officer cannot exceed 2,000,000 shares unless further approval is obtained from the Board of Directors. For new hires not subject to the process described above, the Board of Directors (either by itself or through the Compensation
Committee) continues to approve the relevant grants, with an exercise price equal to the closing share price on the date of grant, which is to be made on the
15thof the month that is on or following the new
hires or consultants start date and the authorizing action of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Tax Deductibility

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a $1,000,000 limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for
compensation paid to the Companys Chief Executive Officer or any of the Companys four most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) who are employed as of the end of the
year. This limitation does not apply to compensation that meets the requirements under Section 162(m) for qualifying performance-based compensation.

Employment Letters and Agreements

The Company or its indirect, deconsolidated subsidiary, DBSD Satellite, have entered into an employment letter or agreement with each of
our named executive officers that, among other things, provides for a target base salary, subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee from time to time. Each of our named executive officers serves at the will of the Board of Directors, and
the Company may terminate each executives employment at any time. If the Company terminates the employment of Mr. Wolff without cause, or if Mr. Wolff leaves the Company for good reason, the Company must: (i) pay an amount equal
to two times the sum of his base salary then in effect plus 100% of his target bonus, (ii) continue health benefits subject to certain conditions, and (iii) vest all options and shares of restricted stock in which he would have vested
through the second anniversary of the date of termination. If the Company terminates Mr. Flynn without cause, the Company must pay continued salary and vesting of options and restricted stock (if applicable) for a period of six months. If the
Company terminates the employment of Mr. Bagley without cause, the Company must pay him 30 days salary during that period (or may elect to give 30 days notice in the alternative) and pay one month of medical and dental benefits,
plus a pro-rated bonus; however, as of the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization for DBSD, Mr. Bagley will be entitled to six months of base salary if he is terminated without cause. If the Company terminates the employment of
Mr. Day without cause, the Company must pay him six months salary during that period (or may elect to give six months notice in the alternative). Mr. Leybolds appointment is on an interim basis though a contractual arrangement
with Tatum, LLC. This appointment may be terminated after the expiration of a 90 day minimum term by providing 30 days prior written notice. For additional information about the employment agreements, see Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change-in-Control below.

Base Salary

Base salaries for the Companys named executive officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into
account the Compensation Committees telecommunications industry experience and judgment in its determination of competitive salaries paid by other companies for similar positions. There were no increases in base pay for any of our named
executive officers during 2009.

Annual Bonus

The employment agreement for Mr. Wolff provides that he is eligible for a discretionary annual bonus equal to 100% of his salary.
This award is intended to compensate Mr. Wolff for achieving financial and operational goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives as set by the Compensation Committee. The employment arrangements for Messrs. Flynn, Bagley
and Day provide that they are eligible for a discretionary annual bonus based on 30% of each executives base salary. In addition to bonus awards provided for in executive employment agreements, the Compensation Committee has the authority to
award discretionary annual bonuses and to set the terms and conditions of those bonuses.

The annual bonus awards are intended
to compensate Messrs. Flynn, Bagley and Day for achieving financial and operational goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. The primary 2009 objectives for Mr. Flynn were to secure a court judgment based on

##### Table of Contents

the 2008 jury verdicts in the Companys litigation against The Boeing Company (Boeing) and its satellite subsidiary, defeat post-trial motions directed against that judgment and
progress the appeal of the case, as well as to meet all compliance obligations and advance the international litigation aimed at preserving the Companys spectrum position. The primary 2009 objectives for Mr. Bagley were to develop and
negotiate with potential strategic partners, manage and negotiate vendor contracts, evaluate new business opportunities, and lead international efforts to maintain the Companys spectrum position. The primary 2009 objectives for Mr. Day
were to safely operate the Companys F2 Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite, maintain the MEO hardware in storage and maintain the Companys ground-based satellite access node operations, support the Boeing litigation and assist
in the development of strategic partnerships.

On April 6, 2010, the Compensation Committee awarded cash bonuses to the
Companys named executive officers based upon the Companys 2009 performance and the individual executive officers performance for 2009. The bonuses were awarded at 80% of target, which is 30% of each named executives current
annual base salary, including for Mr. Flynn, who is now eligible for a 30% bonus target. In setting the bonuses at 80% of target, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including the strong performance of each named
executive officer in meeting respective objectives, the success of the Company in achieving operational goals, the need to retain key executives, and the fact that the Companys subsidiary, DBSD, filed for bankruptcy protection, ultimately
resulting in its deconsolidation from the Company. In April 2010, Messrs. Flynn, Bagley and Day received bonuses of $94,380, $69,290 and $65,805, respectively. Under the cost-sharing arrangement with DBSD, the Company paid $23,595, $10,394 and
$9,871, respectively, of these amounts. For additional information about the employment agreements, see Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control below.

Equity Incentive Compensation

The Companys equity incentive compensation program consists of stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company grants equity
awards as long-term incentive compensation for its named executive officers. Equity awards allow the executive to acquire and maintain stock ownership in the Company and encourage the executive to remain employed by the Company to satisfy the
vesting conditions. The equity awards are granted under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan as Amended and Restated Effective June 15, 2007 (Plan). The Plan permits the grant of options and stock awards.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense on stock options and restricted stock awards issued to its named executive officers
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 Stock Compensation (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (ASC 718).

In 2007, the Company awarded restricted stock awards to each of its named executive officers as part of a program extended to the
Companys employees in general. The restricted stock awards combine performance and time-based conditions to encourage both the meeting of key Company goals and retention. The restricted stock awards vest in accordance with specific performance
conditions. The performance conditions are: (i) certify to the FCC that the

##### Table of Contents

Companys geosynchronous earth orbit satellite is operational (ICO G1 Condition); (ii) demonstrate DVB-SH/GMR through the DBSD Alpha Trial (Alpha Trial
Condition); (iii) obtain Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) authorization from the FCC (ATC Condition); and (iv) retain provisional authority in Europe (Provisional Authority Condition).
Different named executive officers have different amounts of restricted stock awards allocated to the various performance conditions depending upon their responsibilities. The percentages allocated to each performance condition for our named
executive officers range from 0-70%. The portion of restricted stock awards allocated to a particular performance condition vest 50% when that condition is achieved. After the performance condition is achieved, 25% of shares allocated to that
condition vest one year after the performance condition is achieved and the remaining 25% of shares allocated to that condition vest two years after the performance condition is achieved, in each case, provided the individual performs continuous
services for the Company through the vesting date. All performance conditions have been met and are now subject to time-based vesting.

In 2008, the Company awarded restricted stock grants to Messrs. Flynn and Day for extraordinary efforts and results relating to the
Companys litigation with Boeing and its subsidiary, Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc. The restricted stock grants to Messrs. Flynn and Day fully vested on January 31, 2009. The Company did not grant equity awards in 2009 to its
employees due to a number of factors. These included uncertainty regarding the Companys capital structure in light of the deconsolidation of DBSD, the possibility of a reverse stock split to address the Companys temporary inability to
meet Nasdaqs $1 minimum bid requirement for portions of 2009 (the Company regained compliance without executing the reverse split), and the need to raise additional financing. In 2010, these issues have been addressed, and the Company expects
to resume continuing service grants of restricted stock or other equity awards.

Other Compensation

Each named executive officer is eligible to participate in the health, medical and other benefits the Company makes available to all
employees. The Company pays the monthly premiums for health, dental, vision insurance, long term disability and life insurance for all employees. Additionally, for the period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009, the Company made a
non-elective employer contribution to employee 401(k) accounts equal to 12% of the employees base salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Effective April 1, 2009, the Companys non-elective employer contribution to
an employees 401(k) account was reduced to 3%. In January 2010, the Companys non-elective employer contribution to an employees 401(k) account was increased to 8%.

In 2009, the Company paid the premium related to Mr. Jorgens individual disability insurance for the period from
January 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009. Additionally, in 2009, Mr. Bagley received $1,522 for travel stipends and Messrs. Bryan, Jorgens and Corkery received $33,726, $58,004, and $18,049, respectively, related to vacation payout upon their
separations from the Company.

|(2) | Pursuant to his employment agreement, if Mr. Bagley voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company, or is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than for cause, his discretionary 30% bonus shall be adjusted to reflect his aggregate base salary paid for the portion of the year he was employed by the Company, and such discretionary bonus, if any, shall be paid within thirty days
following the date of termination. If Mr. Bagley is terminated for cause, he would be ineligible for a bonus. As of the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization for DBSD, anticipated to occur in 2010, Mr. Bagley will be
entitled to six months of base salary if he is terminated without cause.

|ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

Our Audit Committee is given the responsibility to review and approve all related party transactions as outlined in its charter and as
described under rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We do not currently have a written policy regarding the approval of all related party transactions. All proposed related party transactions, however, are subject to approval by the Audit
Committee. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors deemed appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no more favorable to the
counterparty than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related partys interest in the transaction. To assist with the identification of potential related party
transactions, we solicit information through questionnaires in connection with the appointment of new directors and executive officers and on an annual basis with respect to existing directors and executive officers.

Certain Related-Person Transactions

ERSH, Eagle River Investments, Eagle River, Inc. and ERP.

ERSH is the Companys controlling stockholder with an economic interest of approximately 31.9% and a voting interest of approximately
67.4% as of December 31, 2009. In addition, ERSH holds warrants exercisable through December 12, 2012 to purchase an aggregate of three million shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.01 per
share.

The Company has an agreement with Eagle River, Inc. to provide advisory services to the Company. This agreement has an
annual fee of $500,000 and is payable in quarterly installments in stock or cash, at the Companys option. The Company has elected to make all payments in Class A common stock and total payments for the year ended December 31, 2009
were 1,008,816 shares of Class A common stock.

In connection with the Companys rights offering launched on
February 17, 2010 (Rights Offering), ERP, an affiliate of ERSH entered into a standby purchase agreement with the Company (ERP Standby Commitment). Pursuant to the ERP Standby Commitment, ERP agreed to acquire from the
Company, at the same subscription price of $0.70 per share offered to other stockholders, shares of Class A common stock that are not purchased by the Companys other stockholders in the Rights Offering, subject to certain conditions, in
an amount up to



41

##### Table of Contents

$17.25 million. The Company did not need to call on the ERP Standby Commitment because the exercise of basic subscription and over-subscription privileges was sufficient to complete the Rights
Offering. ERP did not receive any compensation for its standby arrangement. Additionally, in connection with the Rights Offering and at the direction of ERSH, 17,932,651 shares of Class A common stock were issued in the name of ERP instead of
ERSH.

Benjamin G. Wolff, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the President of ERSH, Eagle River
Investments, Eagle River, Inc. and ERP, and is compensated by both Eagle River Investments and the Company.

Davis Wright
Tremaine

Mr. Wolff is the spouse of a partner at the law firm DWT, which provides the Company with ongoing legal
services. Total payments made to DWT for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $359,000.

Clearwire Corporation

Eagle River Holdings, LLC (which, like ERSH, is ultimately beneficially owned by Craig McCaw) is a significant
stockholder of Clearwire. The Company has a month-to-month agreement with Clearwire to provide office space for certain of its regulatory personnel in Washington, DC. Total payments made to Clearwire under this agreement were $60,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2009. DBSD also has an agreement with Clearwire to explore ways to collaborate on offering Clearwires broadband Internet offering in conjunction with its ICO mim service, and building out and sharing a terrestrial
network (Cooperation Agreement). Pursuant to leases in connection with the Cooperation Agreement, DBSD reimburses Clearwire for utility usage at certain of Clearwires terrestrial towers and office space that supports the alpha
trial of its ICO mim service. Payments pursuant to these leases have been included in the Companys operating results up until deconsolidation of DBSD on May 15, 2009. Total payments made to Clearwire under this agreement for the year
ended December 31, 2009 were $9,000. Mr. Wolff was a Co-Founder of Clearwire, where he served in a variety of capacities including as a member of the Board of Directors, as Executive Vice President, company President, Co-CEO, CEO and
finally Co-Chairman, a position he held until March 2010.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its executive officers and directors which provide, among other things, that the
Company will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which he or she is or
may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Companys Bylaws.

Under an indemnification agreement between the Company and Eagle River Investments, LLC, we are required to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Eagle River Investments, its affiliates, and their respective members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling



42

##### Table of Contents

persons against claims, liabilities, losses, damages and fees and expenses incurred resulting from, or in connection with, the fact that such entity or person is or was a shareholder, director,
officer, or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or based on an alleged breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The indemnification obligation is subject to certain
exceptions, including losses and damages incurred through certain violations of the U.S. securities laws and damages caused by acts that a court determines to be a breach of fiduciary duties, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. We agreed to
advance reasonable costs and expenses incurred for defending any claim upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined the indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under the agreement.

Under an indemnification agreement with Cascade Investment, we are similarly required to indemnify Cascade Investment, its affiliates
(including Mente), and their respective members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons.

We are also
a party to an indemnification agreement with CDR-Satco, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC. (CD&R) and The Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, which obligates us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
each of those entities and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents and controlling persons under the same general terms as the indemnification agreement with Eagle River Investments, LLC, other than the addition of
an obligation to indemnify for any claims arising out of or based upon the provision by CD&R of any consulting services (except to the extent a court finds that any of the indemnitees acted with gross negligence or intentional misconduct).

Director Independence

See the subsection entitled Board Committees and Meetings in Item 10 Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate
Governance above.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent
registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP. While the Audit Committee charter permits the Audit Committee to delegate pre-approval authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more individuals, as well as to pre-approve
defined categories of services, the Audit Committee has not yet done so. To date, all pre-approval has been given as part of the Audit Committees approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual explicit
case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. All of the services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP in 2009, as described under Audit Fees above, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
