THIRD AMENDMENT

TO FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT

This Third Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of May 15, 2013 by and among VIASAT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), each lender to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”) that is a party hereto and UNION BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”).

RECITALS

Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of May 9, 2012 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects in accordance with the terms of this Amendment. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Section 6.13 is restated to read as follows:

“6.13 Total Leverage Ratio. Permit the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter, beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 28, 2012, to be greater than the respective amount set forth opposite such Fiscal Quarter below:

2. No course of dealing on the part of Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or their officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and

 

1


any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any Loan Document shall not affect any right of any Lender, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

3. The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

4. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that (a) except for representations and warranties which expressly speak as of a particular date or are no longer true and correct as a result of a change which is permitted by the Credit Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement or in any other document or documents relating thereto are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as though made on the date hereof, and all such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

5. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment Administrative Agent shall have received the following:

(a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders;

(b) a guarantor consent and reaffirmation duly executed by each Subsidiary Guarantor in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto; and

(c) (i) an amendment fee payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of those Lenders executing this Amendment on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 (each, a “Consenting Lender”), in an aggregate amount equal to 0.075% of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments held by such Consenting Lenders as of such time (it being agreed that such fee is deemed earned in full upon execution of this Amendment by Requisite Lenders and shall not be refundable); and (ii) an amendment arrangement fee payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent as contemplated by that certain fee letter dated as of April 25, 2013.

6. The governing law and venue provisions of Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference mutatis mutandis. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the

 

2


Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s counsel in connection with this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts (following Borrower’s authorization of such fees and costs). Except as amended hereby, all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect except that each reference to the “Agreement”, or words of like import in any Loan Document, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall be deemed a “Loan Document” as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each party shall execute and deliver such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary to achieve the intent of the parties as expressed in this Amendment.
