F-34
The 6 3/4% Senior Notes are:
x general unsecured senior obligations of DDBS;
x ranked equally in right of payment with all of DDBS’ and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior
debt; and
x ranked effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ current and future secured senior indebtedness up to the
value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The indenture related to the 6 3/4% Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose
limitations on the ability of DDBS and its restricted subsidiaries to:

x make certain investments;
x create liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
x enter into transactions with affiliates;
x merge or consolidate with another company; and
x transfer or sell assets.
In the event of a change of control, as defined in the related indenture, we would be required to make an offer to
repurchase all or any part of a holder’s 6 3/4% Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of repurchase.
