Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On November 30, 2010, Charles W. Ergen established four Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts ("GRAT(s)"), contributing 12,500,000 Class B shares to each, resulting in the transfer of a total of 50,000,000 Class B shares. Each GRAT may elect to convert any or all of its Class B shares into an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration. ( 2 )Pursuant to the terms of the Ergen Four-Year 2010 DISH GRAT, 997,279 shares were distributed as an annuity to Mr. Ergen on December 1, 2014, with the remaining 8,195,391 shares distributed to trusts for the reporting persons' family members. Following these distributions, the Ergen Four-Year 2010 DISH GRAT expired pursuant to its terms. ( 3 )There is no formal agreement to vote or dispose of the shares owned by each GRAT in a particular manner, except that the trust agreement for the GRAT contains an irrevocable provision that provides that the trustee will not dispose of any shares of the Issuer held by the GRAT unless a Change of Control Event (as defined in Item 6 of the GRAT's Schedule 13D/A filed on December 2, 2014) occurs. 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 Mrs. Cantey M. Ergen 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. ( 4 )Pursuant to the terms of the Ergen Five-Year 2010 DISH GRAT, 728,362 shares were distributed as an annuity to Mr. Ergen on December 1, 2014, with the Ergen Five-Year 2010 DISH GRAT retaining 9,694,505 shares. The Ergen Five-Year 2010 DISH GRAT expires on November 30, 2015. ( 5 )On May 30, 2014, Charles W. Ergen established a GRAT and contributed 50,000,000 Class B shares, resulting in the transfer of a total of 50,000,000 Class B shares. The GRAT may elect to convert any or all of its Class B shares into an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration.
