</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, and the Company&#146;s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL. In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation
limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors for a breach of their fiduciary duties of
care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of a company,
directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information available to
them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for: any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; acts or omissions not
in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of a director, then the liability of the Company&#146;s directors will be eliminated
or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. The Company&#146;s amended
and restated certificate of incorporation does not eliminate a director&#146;s duty of care and, in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director&#146;s
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or
federal laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may purchase and maintain insurance covering its directors and officers against
any liability asserted against any of them and incurred by any of them, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the bylaws. In addition, the
Company is required to advance expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) incurred by a director or
officer defending an action if that person undertakes to repay the Company if he or she is
ultimately determined not to be entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The indemnification
provided by the Company&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation is not exclusive of any
rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, the bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company believes these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The Company also maintains
directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Company&#146;s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders
from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also
reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an
action, if successful, might benefit the Company and its stockholders. A stockholder&#146;s investment
may be harmed to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against
directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company&#146;s directors, officers
and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents previously filed with the SEC are incorporated by reference in this

(a) The Company's prospectus, dated May 13, 2009, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, in connection with the Company's registration statement on Form S-1, as amended
(File No. 333-150235) that contains audited financial statements of DigitalGlobe, Inc. and its
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2008; and
(b) The description of the Common Stock contained in the registration statement on Form 8-A

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this registration statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
registration statement to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement, or
in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this registration statement, modifies or supersedes such prior statement. Any statement
contained in this registration statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent

statement modifies or supersedes such prior statement. Any statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
registration statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, and the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL. In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation
limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors for a breach of their fiduciary duties of
care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of a company,
directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information available to
them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for: any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; acts or omissions not
in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of a director, then the liability of the Company's directors will be eliminated
or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. The Company's amended
and restated certificate of incorporation does not eliminate a director's duty of care and, in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or
federal laws.
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance covering its directors and officers against
any liability asserted against any of them and incurred by any of them, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the bylaws. In addition, the
Company is required to advance expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by a director or
officer defending an action if that person undertakes to repay the Company if he or she is
ultimately determined not to be entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The indemnification
provided by the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation is not exclusive of any
rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, the bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
4
Table of Contents
The Company believes these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The Company also maintains
directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Company's amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders
from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also
reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an
action, if successful, might benefit the Company and its stockholders. A stockholder's investment
may be harmed to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against
directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company's directors, officers
and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of

securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes, that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
