CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE



Title of Each Class of Securities to be Registered	Amount to be Registered (1) (2)	Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share	Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price	Amount of Registration Fee
Common stock, $0.0001 par value	4,000,000 shares	$39.21(3)	$156,840,000	$17,974

(1)

Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement also registers an indeterminate number of additional shares that may be issued pursuant to the 1996 Equity Participation Plan of ViaSat, Inc. (the “Plan”) as the result of any future stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) common stock.

(2)

Covers 4,000,000 additional shares of ViaSat common stock available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by the stockholders of ViaSat on September 20, 2012. The Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 21,400,000 shares of common stock. However, the offer and sale of 17,400,000 shares of common stock, which have been or may be issued under the Plan, have previously been registered pursuant to prior Form S-8 registration statements (Commission File Nos. 333-21113, 333-68757, 333-67010, 333-109959, 333-153828 and 333-169593).

(3)

The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The computation is based upon the average of the high and low prices of ViaSat common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 19, 2012, because the offering price of the securities to be granted in the future is not currently determinable.

Proposed sales to take place as soon after the effective date of the registration statement as awards granted under the Plan are granted, exercised and/or distributed.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement on Form S-8 is filed by ViaSat to register an additional 4,000,000 shares of ViaSat common stock for issuance under the Plan pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by the stockholders of ViaSat on September 20, 2012. In accordance with Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the prior Form S-8 registration statements (Commission File Nos. 333-21113, 333-68757, 333-67010, 333-109959, 333-153828 and 333-169593) are incorporated herein by reference.
