G3 Smart Card Exchange - Managing Your Inventory

October 8, 2008
Dear DISH Network® Retailer,
Beginning in July of this year, DISH Network launched a project to exchange old (Aladin) Smart Cards in
customer receivers for new (G3) Smart Cards. As part of this process, we are sending new G3 Smart Cards
directly to customers with instructions on how to complete the simple installation process. Additionally, we have started to include the new G3 Smart Cards in receivers currently being sold - so for these receivers, the G3 Smart Card exchange may not be necessary.


•Support for Un-Exchanged Smart Cards is Scheduled to End in November 2008 - In November, we
plan to start the process of shutting off programming to Aladin Smart Cards. Therefore, it is important that
you install customers with older receivers from your inventory first in order to deplete your supply of Aladin
Smart Cards. The Aladin Smart Cards in these older receivers may be exchanged for the new G3 Smart
Cards after they are activated with customers and before any programming shut-offs.


o First In, First Out Inventory Management - As a reminder, to help you manage your inventory and
ensure your customers have the appropriate equipment, please make sure you are using a “first in, first out” (FIFO) inventory management process. A FIFO rotation of equipment means you install the
receivers you received in earlier shipments before installing the receivers you received in later
shipments. This will help ensure that the receivers which have the Aladin Smart Card are moved out of your stock prior to programming shut-offs.
- Please note that there will not be a process to exchange Aladin Smart Cards in receivers
that remain in your inventory after October 2008, so it is important to rotate older receivers out of your inventory before November 2008.

o Showroom Accounts - The G3 Smart Card exchange also applies to receivers used on showroom
accounts. If you remove a receiver with an Aladin Smart Card from your showroom account and then
re-activate it before exchanging the Aladin Smart Card with a new G3 Smart Card, that receiver may
not be able to receive all applicable programming after November 2008.
