Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
ViaSat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ViaSat), entered into an Award/Contract with
Space and Naval Warfare Systems (SPAWAR) effective March 10, 2010 (the Award
Contract). The Award Contract provides a framework under which SPAWAR can procure the
development, construction and delivery by ViaSat of systems and services related to Multifunctional
Information Distribution System (MIDS) and MIDS-Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) terminals for a
period of five years. The Award Contract was executed in connection with the expiration of the
original Award/Contract between ViaSat and SPAWAR executed on January 10, 2000 (the Original
Contract). On March 10, 2010, ViaSat received the first award under the Award Contract valued
at approximately $21 million. Although ViaSat expects to receive future contract awards under the
Award Contract, there can be no assurances that any such awards will be forthcoming at levels
similar to those received under the Original Contract, or at all.
Under the Award Contract, awards may provide for payment to be made on a cost-reimbursement,
time-and-materials or fixed-price basis, as specified in the individual contract award. Contract
awards may be subject to a competitive bid process. Contract awards may be terminated, in whole or
in part, at the convenience of the U.S. government at any time, and may contain options that are
exercisable at the discretion of the U.S. government. ViaSats
eligibility to perform under the Award Contract requires it to maintain adequate security measures.
The foregoing description of the Award Contract does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Award Contract, which will be
filed as an exhibit to ViaSats next periodic report or other applicable filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
