Compensation of Directors
Members of the Board of Directors are reimbursed for expenses actually incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees. Each independent director is paid an annual fee of $12,000. In addition, each independent director is paid $2,000 for participation in each regular meeting of the Board of Directors and $1,000 for participation in each committee meeting as a regular committee member, or $1,500 for participation in each committee meeting as a committee chairperson. The fee paid to each director for participation via telephone for each regular meeting or each committee meeting is one-half of the regular fee. Each independent director at the time of initial election to the Board of Directors is granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock and on the date of each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders is granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During fiscal year 2004, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee was comprised of Drs. Johnson and Nash. No interlocking relationship exists between any member of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and any member of any other company’s board of directors or compensation committee.
Compensation and Human Resources Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to the compensation of ViaSat’s executive officers and directors. Two outside independent directors serve on the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Its charter is to oversee, review and recommend to the Board of Directors for approval the compensation policies and practices for our Chief Executive Officer, other key executives, and directors, as well as ViaSat’s general employee benefits programs and policies. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Directors on its activities. In general, the compensation policies recommended by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and adopted by the Board of Directors are designed to provide competitive levels of compensation to:
| • | attract and retain executives capable of achieving our business objectives, and | |||
| • | motivate our executives to enhance long-term stockholder value. | |||
Executive Officer Compensation
Our executive compensation program is comprised of base salary, annual cash incentive bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants at current market prices. We may provide performance based restricted stock grants in fiscal year 2005 as part of our executive compensation program.
Our compensation program for executive officers is designed to provide a total compensation level (including both annual and long-term incentives) that is competitive with surveyed companies. For executive officers recently recruited by us, annual compensation rates and long-term incentive awards reflect amounts necessary to attract them to ViaSat. The compensation program is benchmarked by using surveys of companies in the high technology industry with similar revenues and/or prospects. These companies, which are representative of the firms we compete with for executive talent and have jobs similar to those at our company in magnitude, complexity and scope of responsibility, form the basis for the survey group used by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee.

Table of Contents
Components of Executive Compensation
| • | Base salary is based on an executive’s job responsibilities, level of experience, individual performance and contribution to ViaSat, as well as information obtained from surveys. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes that the executives’ base salaries are at competitive levels relative to the various markets from which ViaSat attracts its executive talent. | |||
| • | Annual cash incentive bonus is reviewed at the end of the fiscal year and is based on ViaSat’s performance, individual performance, and compensation surveys. Bonuses awarded in prior years are also taken into consideration. The bonuses are at risk and are not arithmetically derived using a bonus formula. | |||
| • | Long-term incentives may include awards of stock options, restricted stock, and performance awards. The objective for the awards is to closely align executive interests with the longer-term interests of stockholders. These awards, which are at risk and dependent on the creation of incremental stockholder value or the attainment of cumulative financial targets over several years, represent a significant portion of the total compensation opportunity provided for the executive officers. Award sizes are based on individual performance, level of responsibility, the individual’s potential to make significant contributions to our company, and award levels at other companies in the survey group. Long-term incentives granted in prior years are also taken into consideration. | |||
Compensation for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Based on the framework described above, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors for approval the CEO’s compensation by judging his individual contributions to ViaSat’s business, level of responsibility, and career experience. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee does not believe that narrow quantitative measures or formulas are sufficient for determining Mr. Dankberg’s compensation. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee does not give specific weights to the factors considered, but the primary factor is the CEO’s individual contribution to the business. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee recognizes Mr. Dankberg’s contributions to ViaSat’s business performance during fiscal year 2004. Considering all the factors, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes the combination of Mr. Dankberg’s base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentives is appropriately positioned relative to the CEO’s of other comparable U.S.-based companies.
Deductibility of Compensation in Excess of $1 Million Per Year
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a company’s Chief Executive Officer and any of its four other most highly compensated executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit if specific requirements are met. For 2004 and 2005, we do not anticipate that there will be nondeductible compensation for the positions in question. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee plans to continue to review the matter for 2005 and future years in order to determine the extent of possible modification to our compensation arrangements.

The 1996 Equity Participation Plan. In November 1996 we adopted the 1996 Equity Participation Plan, which provides for the grant to our executive officers, other key employees, consultants and non-employee directors of a broad variety of stock-based compensation alternatives such as nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock and performance awards. The 1996 Equity Participation Plan currently provides for aggregate award grants of up to 7,600,000 shares. As of April 2, 2004 options to purchase an aggregate of 4,962,131 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $4.25 to $43.82 were outstanding under the 1996 Equity Participation Plan.
The Purchase Plan. In November 1996 we established the Purchase Plan to assist our employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in ViaSat and to encourage them to remain in our employment. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Purchase Plan permits our eligible employees to purchase our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during specified six-month offering periods. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee administers the Purchase Plan. Currently, a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the Purchase Plan. As of April 2, 2004, an aggregate of 790,322 of common stock at prices ranging from $3.83 to $21.20 had been issued under the Purchase Plan.
The USM Plan. In connection with our acquisition of U.S. Monolithics, LLC in 2002, options to purchase approximately 44,418 of our shares at a weighted average exercise price of $8.94 were assumed from the USM Plan. Our stockholders have not approved the USM Plan. The purpose of the USM Plan is to assist the employees of U.S. Monolithics (which is now operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ViaSat) in acquiring a stock ownership interest in ViaSat and to encourage them to remain employees of U.S. Monolithics. The USM Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock covering an aggregate of 203,000 shares of our common stock. As of April 2, 2004, options to purchase an aggregate of 112,677 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $6.56 to $23.37 were outstanding under the USM Plan.

EXHIBIT 10.12 AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT THIS AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Amendment"), dated as of January 2, 2004, is entered into by and among the financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof (individually, a "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders"), Union Bank of California, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), Comerica Bank (formerly Comerica Bank-California), as Collateral Agent, and ViaSat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), with reference to the following facts: RECITALS A. The Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are parties to the Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2002, as amended (the "Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which the Lenders have provided the Borrower with a Revolving Loan facility and a subfacility for Letters of Credit. B. The parties wish to amend the Loan Agreement to remove the borrowing base restrictions under the Revolving Loan facility and to amend the Leverage Ratio Covenant. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Defined Terms. Any and all initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment (including, without limitation, in the recitals hereto) without definition shall have the respective meanings specified in the Loan Agreement. 2. Removal of Borrowing Base Provisions. A. Deletion of Borrowing Base-Related Definitions. The definitions of "Account Debtor", "Accounts", "Accounts Receivable Aging Report", "Accounts Receivable Reconciliation Report", "Borrowing Base Certificate", "Eligible Account", "Eligible Inventory" and "Inventory" are hereby deleted in their entirety. B. Deletion of Borrowing Base Certificate Exhibit. Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: "EXHIBIT A [Reserved]." -1-
C. Amendment to Revolving Loan Facility Provision. Section 2.1(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting therefrom the words "the lesser of (x) the then applicable Borrowing Base or (y)". 3. Amendment to Leverage Ratio Covenant. Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows: "6.12 Leverage Ratio. Permit the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter to be greater than 1.50 to 1.00." 4. Amendment Fee. In consideration of the Lenders' agreement to enter into this Amendment and provide the Borrower with the accommodations described herein, on the effective date of this Amendment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a one-time fee of $5,000 (the "Amendment Fee"). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, at the Administrative Agent's option, the Administrative Agent may effect payment of the Amendment Fee by charging the full amount of such fee, when due, to the Borrower's Revolving Loan account or to the Borrower's checking account at Union Bank of California, N.A. 5. Condition Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the prior satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (a) This Amendment.

The Assistant Secretary of Borrower shall have executed the Certificate of Resolution attached to this Amendment; and (c) Other Documents. The Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent such other documents and instruments, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. 6. Miscellaneous. (a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in the Loan Agreement or in any other document or documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, any Loan Document furnished in connection with this Amendment, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to rely thereon. (b) No Events of Default. The Borrower is not aware of any events which now constitute, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. -2-
(c) Reference to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents or instruments now or hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement as amended hereby, are hereby amended so that any reference therein to the Loan Agreement shall mean a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby. (d) Loan Agreement Remains in Effect. The Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and the Borrower ratifies and confirms its agreements and covenants contained therein. The Borrower hereby confirms that, after giving effect to this Amendment, no Event of Default or Default exists as of such date. (e) Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable. (f) APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED PURSUANT HERETO SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND TO BE PERFORMABLE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
