OWNERSHIP

INAUGURAL SEASON

After five years of negotiations, the Houston Dynamo’s downtown stadium finally celebrated a groundbreaking on February 5, 2011. When the 22,000-seat venue opens on May 12, 2012, the players, coaches, employees, and fans will finally have a home to call their own. On December 14, 2011, BBVA Compass officially came on board as the stadium naming rights partner. BBVA Compass Stadium has been designed by Populous, the firm that designed the new Yankee Stadium in New York, as an iconic piece of architecture that echoes both the rich industrial heritage of the urban East Downtown site and the Dynamo’s aspirations to be an elite brand in North American soccer. The stadium will be located closer to downtown than any other American stadium built for soccer, while its clear sightlines and intimate setting will make it unique among Houston stadiums. Combine those factors with the passion of Houston soccer fans and the team’s vibrant orange, and a gameday at the Dynamo’s new stadium will be like no other. Situated on a six-block urban site near other Houston landmarks such as Minute Maid Park, the George R. Brown Convention Center, and the Toyota Center, the new stadium will be easily accessible for patrons from the entire Houston metropolitan area. The stadium will be recognizable thanks in part to its distinctive facade. The stadium skin will consist of tessellated aluminum mesh, enclosing the stadium while also allowing air to circulate throughout the facility. Inside the stadium, fans will utilize one wide concourse to access both the lower and upper bowls. Fans throughout the stadium, from field-side seats to luxury suites to upper-bowl sections, will feel like part of the game action thanks to their proximity to the playing surface. In 2012, when orange-clad fans erupt after a Dynamo goal, soccer in Houston will finally have its new home.

Before coming to MLS, Canetti worked for the New Haven (CT) Ravens, a Double-A minor league baseball affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. He was with the Ravens for six seasons including three as the team’s General Manager. His career with the Ravens was highlighted by the fact that at just 26 years old he became the youngest GM in baseball. Prior to joining the Ravens, Canetti was an Associate Sports Editor for the Shoreline Times (Guilford, CT). Canetti has been a part of three championship seasons: the Dynamo’s MLS Cups in 2006 and 2007 and the Ravens’ Eastern League title in 2000.

Dominic Kinnear HEAD COACH Former U.S. international Dominic Kinnear is entering his ninth season as a head coach in 2012, having guided the Dynamo to MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007, to the SuperLiga championship game in 2008, the Western Conference championship game in 2009, and the MLS Cup Final in 2011. In six years as Dynamo head coach, Kinnear has led the team to two MLS Cup titles (2006, 2007), three MLS Cup Finals (2006, 2007, 2011), two semifinal appearances in the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup (2007, 2008), the quarterfinal stage of the inaugural CONCACAF Champions League (2008-09), one appearance in the final (2008) and two appearances in the semifinals (2007, 2010) of SuperLiga, two first-place regular-season finishes in the Western Conference (2008, 2009-tied), and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals twice (2006, 2009). He has been nominated for MLS Coach of the Year three times (2006, 2007, 2008). With the San Jose Earthquakes, Kinnear spent three seasons as the club’s top assistant coach, winning MLS Cup titles in 2001 and 2003, and then took over as head coach in 2004. He was named MLS Coach of the Year in 2005, when San Jose won the Supporters’ Shield with a record of 18-4-10, still a league record for most points in a season. A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Kinnear moved to California at age three and grew up in Fremont, Calif. Kinnear played professionally in the American Professional Soccer League (APSL) and Mexico. He spent five seasons with the San Francisco Bay Blackhawks, helping them win a championship in 1991. In 1995, Kinnear signed with Necaxa of the Mexican First Division, and helped lead the team to the Mexican Cup that year. He then signed with the APSL’s Seattle Sounders, where he again was part of a championship team. Kinnear earned 54 caps for the U.S. national team, with nine goals and two assists. His best year in a national team jersey was 1993, when he led the team in scoring with seven goals and one assist. He was captain of the national team for its match against his native Scotland on May 17, 1992, in Denver, Colo. He played five years in MLS, including the 1997 season with the San Jose Clash, the forerunner of the Earthquakes. That season he played in a career-high 28 games and registered eight points. Kinnear also played with the Colorado Rapids and the Tampa Bay Mutiny in his 117-game MLS career, scoring six goals and recording 26 assists. Kinnear served as the Mutiny’s captain in 1999 and led them to the playoffs that season. Kinnear has a USSF “A” coaching license. He is married to Colleen and they have three children: David, Sophia, and Grace. In his spare time, Kinnear enjoys watching his children play soccer and listening to music.

INAUGURAL SEASON

Wade Barrett ASSISTANT COACH Former Dynamo team captain Wade Barrett is entering his third season as an assistant coach in 2012. Barrett retired prior to the 2010 season with the third-highest totals in games, starts, and minutes in Dynamo history. He won MLS Cup twice with Houston, in 2006 and 2007, and was also part of the San Jose Earthquakes’ 2001 MLS Cup championship and 2005 Supporters’ Shield-winning teams. The Virginia Beach, Virginia native attended the College of William & Mary and completed a B.A. in economics via correspondence in his early days as a professional with the San Jose Clash. Barrett remained in San Jose as the franchise became the Earthquakes and won the 2001 MLS Cup title, then played with Aarhus (Denmark) and Fredrikstad (Norway) from 2002-04. He rejoined the Earthquakes in 2005, Dominic Kinnear’s second year as head coach, as club captain, and helped them capture the Supporters’ Shield. Prior to the 2006 season, Barrett moved to Houston along with the rest of the players and team staff to become the Dynamo. He assisted on the first goal in team history and played every league and playoff game except one in the Dynamo’s back-to-back championship seasons of 2006 and 2007. He was slowed by injuries slightly in 2008 and 2009. Capped twice for the United States national team, Barrett was an MLS All-Star and named to the MLS Best XI in 2002. He finished his Dynamo career with 140 games, 139 starts, and 12,399 minutes played in all competitions. He appeared in 99 career regular season and 11 career playoff games for Houston. One of the fittest players in league history, Barrett wore the captain’s armband for 138 of his 140 all-time appearances with Houston. Barrett recently received his USSF “B” coaching license. Off the field, he was a three-time winner (1998-99, 2002) of San Jose’s Geneva McAlavey Memorial Award for community service.

STEVE RALSTON ASSISTANT COACH All-time Major League Soccer assist leader Steve Ralston is in his second full season as an assistant coach with the Dynamo in 2012, having joined the club immediately following his retirement in July 2010. A native of St. Louis, Ralston retired as the all-time MLS leader in assists (135), games (378), starts (372), and minutes played (33,143). As a midfielder, he played in four MLS Cup finals for New England, including two against the Dynamo in 2006 and 2007. Ralston was named an MLS All-Star seven times and to the MLS Best XI three times. He is the only three-time recipient of the MLS Fair Play Award. On the international level, Ralston appeared 36 times for the U.S. national team and scored four goals, including the game-winner against Mexico on Sept. 3, 2005, as the United States clinched qualification for the World Cup. He was an alternate for the World Cup squad but has represented the United States at the Gold Cup three times, including championship squads in 2005 and 2007. In his club career, Ralston was drafted by the Tampa Bay Mutiny out of Florida International University in 1996, the league’s inaugural season, and won the first MLS Rookie of the Year award that season. He played six years for Tampa Bay before the club was contracted, including three years as a teammate of Kinnear. Ralston was then selected by the Revolution in the MLS Allocation Draft and spent the next eight years with New England. After a brief stint with hometown club AC St. Louis in 2010, he rejoined the Revolution in June. His club championships include the 2007 U.S. Open Cup and 2008 SuperLiga titles. Ralston is married to Rachel, and the couple has two daughters, Anna and Clara, and one son, Liam.

Hanley was the team’s original goalkeeping coach in 2006. Hanley has coached in Major League Soccer for 13 seasons and in American soccer for more than 20 years. Hanley coached three Goalkeeper of the Year winners in a four-year span from 2002-05 (Joe Cannon 2002; Pat Onstad 2003, 2005). Hanley worked in MLS with the San Jose Clash, San Jose Earthquakes, and the LA Galaxy, and has also coached in the A-League, in the Premier Development League, and at Stanford University (2002-05). As a player, Hanley played six seasons in the United States and the United Kingdom. He began his career training with Blackpool and Coventry City in England, then returned to the United States to play in the North American Soccer League. He played with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, San Jose Earthquakes, and Golden Bay Earthquakes, sandwiched around a stint at Scottish club Hibernian. Off the field, Hanley is heavily involved in community activities and devotes time to rebuildingtogetherpeninsula.org and the Square Peg Foundation.

INAUGURAL SEASON

key dates in dynamo history honors as the MLS All-Stars defeat Chelsea FC 1-0 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois. August 9, 2006 The Dynamo lose 1-0 to the LA Galaxy at Reliant Stadium in the first match of a doubleheader with FC Barcelona/Club America. More than 70,000 fans attend. August 12, 2006 With a 1-0 win over instate rival FC Dallas, the Dynamo secure ownership of El Capitán, the 19th century cannon that recognizes the best MLS team in Texas. Houston won the four-game regular season series, 2-1-1.

December 16, 2005 AEG announces that the San Jose Earthquakes will move to Houston. Oliver Luck, CEO of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, is named general manager of the new Houston franchise. January 20, 2006 The Houston franchise makes its first-ever selection in the MLS SuperDraft: defender Patrick Ianni of UCLA, the eighth pick overall. January 25, 2006 The team name is unveiled at Lanier Middle School: Houston 1836, in honor of the year the city of Houston was founded. The name led the online poll conducted by the team. The franchise logo and colors are also announced: Wildcatter Orange, Space City Blue and Raven Black. March 6, 2006 After some in the Houston community deem “Houston 1836” offensive, the team unveils a new name: the Houston Dynamo. April 2, 2006 More than 25,000 attend Houston’s inaugural game at Robertson Stadium. The Dynamo defeat the Colorado Rapids, 5-2, on four consecutive goals by Brian Ching and a lastminute bicycle kick from Alejandro Moreno later named Sierra Mist Goal of the Week. May 2, 2006 Brian Ching is named to the U.S. World Cup team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. August 5, 2006 Dwayne De Rosario scores the winning goal and earns MVP

September 30, 2006 The Dynamo secure a berth in the playoffs thanks to a bicycle-kick goal by Brian Ching in the 87th minute of a 1-0 win over D.C. United at Robertson Stadium.

INAUGURAL SEASON

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM Established in 2007, the Houston Dynamo Youth Development System, presented by Statoil, is already molding and producing soccer talent, with a plan to increase the availability and success of its programs to ensure that young talent will train with Dynamo coaches from an early age. Dynamo programs include players aged 5-18, with prospects hopefully progressing up the pyramid from seasonal camps to Centers of Excellence to Dynamo Elite Camps to the Junior Academy to the Academy U-16 and U-18 teams to the homegrown player list to the Dynamo first team. Establishing these programs is a long process still in its infancy, but the Dynamo Youth Development System is well on its way to becoming one of the top talent-nurturing soccer organizations in the United States. In only four years, the Dynamo Academy has produced four players for the Dynamo first team in goalkeeper Tyler Deric (2009) and midfielders Francisco Navas (2010), Alex Dixon (2011) and Josue Soto (2011). Deric and Navas Cobo made their MLS debuts in 2010, with Deric winning his first two starts and becoming the first homegrown goalkeeper in league history to record a shutout in his debut. Dixon made his debut in 2011 and became the first Academy product to score in a first team match. The Dynamo have also sent players to the United States U-17 national team residency program, and multiple other players have been called up to respective national teams, including the United States U-20 team and U-17 and U-15 national teams from the United States and Mexico. DYNAMO CAMPS Dynamo Camps are aimed at all players aged 5-12 looking for a challenging soccer experience or a fun introduction to the game. In age and ability specific groups, led by experienced and qualified Dynamo coaching staff, players

will be motivated to achieve through appropriate soccer activities. Through Dynamo Camps, players receive the individual attention to technique that is required to become more confident and expressive on the field. Dynamo Camps operate over four-day periods and are split into two options based on age; Dynamites (5-6 years) or Dynamos (7-12 years) camp programs.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

INAUGURAL SEASON The Junior Academy will train January-May and SeptemberDecember. New players will be added after being evaluated during the spring and fall Centers of Excellence. The mission of the Junior Academy is to provide a professional training/learning environment that is age specific. The Junior Academy aims to have a positive impact on each player’s development on and off the field. The Junior Academy curriculum focuses on skill and technique development, so the Dynamo will not be forming teams or playing in local competitions.

The players will be trained under the direction of Dynamo Director of Youth Development James Clarkson and the Dynamo’s youth development staff.

Academy teams train at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. Outstanding players have the opportunity to be invited to train with the Dynamo first team and play in first team reserve matches. In addition to USSF Development Academy league play, the Dynamo’s Major League Soccer affiliation has helped them play elite competition, such as the Copa Chivas in 2010, the 2009 European tour that included wins over Rangers and Real Madrid and U-17 participation in Eurovoetbal 2011 in Groningen, the Netherlands. PRE-ACADEMY The Houston Dynamo Pre-Academy teams are a group of select players in the Houston area who train together four days a week and play competitive games on weekends. Pre-Academy teams participate in US Club Soccer’s Texas Pre-Academy League. The Dynamo have teams at the U-13, U-14, and U-15 age group.

RULES OF COMPETITION STRUCTURE: The 19 MLS teams are divided into two conferences: Eastern Conference – Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew, D.C. United, Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas City, Montreal Impact, New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia Union, Toronto FC. Western Conference – Chivas USA, Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, LA Galaxy, Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Vancouver Whitecaps FC. SCHEDULE: Each team plays a 34-game regular season schedule; 17 home games, 17 away games. Western Conference – 24 in-conference + 10 out-ofconference games: • Western Conference teams will play each West opponent three times (24 games): o West teams will play four conference opponents twice at home and once away o They will play the other four conference opponents once at home and twice away. o The home and away games will be reversed in 2013. • Western Conference teams will play each East opponent once each (10 games):

o Five of these will be at home and five will be away. o The East opponents each team faces at home and away will be reversed in 2013. Eastern Conference – 25 in-conference + 9 out-ofconference games: • Eastern Conference teams will play 25 games against other East teams: o East teams will play seven conference opponents three times each (21 games) and o Two conference opponents twice each (four games). • Eastern Conference teams will play each West opponent once each (9 games): o Some will play four at home and five away while others will play five at home and four away. POINT SYSTEM: Teams will receive three points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a loss. REFEREES: All referees in MLS are either USSF (United States Soccer Federation) or CSA (Canadian Soccer Association) National Referees. All MLS games played in the US will be assigned by USSF and all games played in Canada will be assigned by CSA. GAME CLOCK: The official game time for all Major League

major league soccer

115

HOUSTON DYNAMO Soccer games will be managed on the field by the referee. If necessary, the referee may also allot extra time (a.k.a. “stoppage time”) at the end of each period (first half, second half, and if applicable, first overtime period and second overtime period during playoff matches) to allow for injuries, time-wasting or other disturbances. The stadium clock will display the time from 0:00 to 45:00 and from 45:00 to 90:00 (plus stoppage time where applicable in each half). For statistical purposes, the minutes for goals, substitutions, yellow cards, etc., will be listed from the first minute until the 90th minute. A goal scored at 15 minutes 10 seconds will be listed as having been scored in the 16th minute. Events occurring during stoppage time will follow the international norm by being demarcated with a “+” sign and the extra minutes. For example, a goal scored three minutes into first half stoppage time will be officially identified as happening at “48+”. GAME DAY ROSTERS: Each team can nominate 18 players for a game day roster. Teams are allowed three substitutions per game. CAUTIONS AND SUSPENSIONS: A player will be suspended for one game upon receiving his fifth yellow card – regardless of the nature of the infraction which resulted in his being awarded a yellow card. A second suspension of one game would result after the awarding of an additional three cards as would a third suspension after the awarding of card number eleven. With the “Good Behavior” incentive it is possible for a player to have a caution expunged. If a player goes three games without receiving a yellow card, after an initial warning, the player will have one yellow card expunged. A player may take advantage of the “Good Behavior” incentive only once throughout the season.

FOREVER ORANGE MLS Cup will be a single championship match hosted by the higher seed. If the score is tied after 90 minutes of play, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary. TEAM-STANDINGS TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES The team awarded the highest position in the MLS standings will be the team with the greatest number of points (three points for a win, one point for a tie, zero points for a loss). In the event that two teams finish the regular season with an equal number of points, the following system will be used to break the tie: 1) The highest position shall be awarded to the team with the better win/loss record in current regular season games against all other teams equal in points. (head-to-head competition) 2) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the highest position shall be awarded to the team with the greater goal difference against all other teams during the regular season. (goal differential) 3) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the highest position shall be awarded to the team scoring the greatest number of total goals against all other teams during the regular season. (total goals) 4) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the procedures described in this section shall be applied only to games played on the road by each team against all other teams during the regular season. (road 1-3) 5) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the procedures described in this section shall be applied only to games played at home by each team against all other teams during the regular season. (home 1-3)

MLS CUP PLAYOFFS: FORMAT WHO QUALIFIES: Ten teams, the top five in points from each conference at the end of the regular season, qualify for the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs. The fourth and fifth place teams in each conference will play a single knockout game, the winner of which will advance to the Conference Semifinals and face the first place team in the conference. The four Conference Semifinals will be decided by two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary. The two Conference Championships will be decided by a two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary.

major league soccer

6) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the highest position shall be awarded to the team with the fewest team disciplinary points in the League Fair Play table during the regular season. 7) If the teams are still equal in the standings, the highest position in the standings shall be determined by the toss of a coin. 8) The first tiebreaker in a three-way tie is also head-tohead, but it is determined via points-per-game versus the other two teams. If two teams are tied in points-per-game head-to-head, the next tie breaker is goal difference. NOTE: If two teams remain tied after another teams with the same number of points advances during any step, the tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-team format.

INAUGURAL SEASON

2012 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS SUMMARY I. MLS ROSTER COMPOSITION A Major League Soccer club’s first team roster is comprised of up to 30 players. All 30 players are eligible for selection to each 18-player game-day squad during the regular season and playoffs. Salary & Budget: Players occupying roster spots 1-20 count against the club’s 2012 salary budget of $2,810,000, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Salary Budget Players. • Roster spots 19 and 20 are not required to be filled, and teams may spread their salary budget across only 18 Salary Budget Players. A minimum salary budget charge will be imputed against a team’s salary budget for each unfilled senior roster slot below 18. • The maximum budget charge for a single player is $350,000.* • A Designated Player 20 years old or younger** (referred to as Young Designated Players or Young DPs) to counts as $150,000 against the club’s salary budget • A Designated Player 21-23 years old** counts as $200,000 against the club’s salary budget. • The budget charge for the midseason signing of a Young DP is $150,000 and this amount cannot be lowered with allocation funds. • Clubs will not have to buy the third DP roster slot to accommodate a Young Designated Player whereas clubs are normally required to buy that slot for a onetime fee of $250,000. • Clubs are responsible for all amounts above the budget charge for all Designated Players. * See section entitled Allocation Money below, under Player Acquisition Mechanisms, for details on buying down a player’s budget charge. ** Age of player is determined by year (not date) of birth. Players occupying roster spots 21-30 do not count against the club’s salary budget, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Off-Budget Players (maximum of 10 per team). • All Generation adidas players are Off-Budget players. • Players occupying roster spots 1-24 will earn at least $44,000 in 2012. • Players occupying roster spots 25-30 will earn at least $33,750 in 2012. • Clubs may elect to leave up to two of these roster spots (25-30) vacant and use $35,000 for each empty spot as allocation money. • Clubs may sign up to two Homegrown Players contracts above the minimum salary and similar to Generation adidas player contract amounts. Age Designations: Any player making $33,750 must be under the age 25 (does not turn 25 or older in 2012). Domestic/International: In 2012, a total of 152 international slots are divided among the 19 clubs. Each club began with eight international slots, which are tradable. There is no limit on the number of international

slots on each club’s roster. • The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status). The three MLS clubs based in Canada – Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC – began with eight international slots, but their domestic slots may be filled with either Canadian or U.S. domestic players. • MLS clubs based in Canada are required to have a minimum of three Canadian domestic players on their rosters. • Players with the legal right to work in Canada are considered Canadian domestic players (i.e., Canadian citizen, permanent resident, part of a protected class). NOTE: The terms Homegrown and Generation adidas are used to describe mechanisms by which players are acquired. They are not roster designations. All players’ roster slots are determined by their compensation and/or age as outlined above. II. PLAYER ACQUISITION MECHANISMS MLS teams may acquire players and add them to their rosters via the following mechanisms: (A) ALLOCATION RANKING The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs file a request for the same player on the same day when the discovery period opens in December. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2011 season, taking playoff performance into account. Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is the other club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season. Allocation Money: Allocation money is a resource available to clubs in addition to their respective salary budgets. A club may receive allocation money for: (1) failure to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs; (2) the transfer of a player to a club outside of MLS for value; (3) expansion status; (4) qualification for the CONCACAF Champions League; (5) trading in up to two Off-Budget roster spots;

major league soccer

117

HOUSTON DYNAMO (6) funds from purchased third designated player roster spots. Each year the MLS Competition Committee determines the allocation amount to be made available to each club. Allocation money can be traded by clubs. Allocation money does not count against a club’s salary budget and can be used: • To sign players new to MLS (that is, a player who did not play in MLS during the previous season). • To re-sign an existing MLS player, subject to League approval. • To “buy-down” a player’s salary budget charge below the League maximum of $350,000. • In connection with the exercise of an option to purchase a player’s rights or the extension of a player’s contract for the second year provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year. NOTE: To protect the interests of MLS and its clubs during discussions with prospective players or clubs in other leagues, amounts of allocation money held by each club will not be shared publicly. (B) DESIGNATED PLAYER The Designated Player Rule allows clubs to acquire up to three players whose salaries exceed their budget charges, with the club bearing financial responsibility for the amount of compensation above each player’s budget charge. Designated Player slots may be used to acquire players new to MLS or to retain current MLS players, subject to League approval. In 2012, a Designated Player over the age of 23** will carry a salary budget charge of $350,000, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $175,000. A Designated Player 20 years old or younger** counts as $150,000 against the club’s salary budget and a Designated Player 21-23 years old counts as $200,000 against the club’s salary budget. Clubs have the option of “buying down” the budget charge of a Designated Player with allocation money. The reduced charge may not be less than $150,000. The budget charge for the midseason signing of a young Designated Player (23 years old and younger) is $150,000 and this amount cannot be lowered with allocation funds. Each club has two Designated Player slots and clubs are allowed to “purchase” a third Designated Player slot for a one-time fee of $250,000 that will be dispersed in the form of allocation money to all clubs that do not have three Designated Players. Clubs will not have to buy the third DP roster slot to accommodate Designated Players 23 years old and younger. Designated Player slots are not tradable. ** Age of player is determined by year (not date) of birth.

FOREVER ORANGE (C) SUPERDRAFT The 2012 MLS SuperDraft, held Jan. 12 in Kansas City, Mo., consisted of two rounds of 19 picks for a total of 38 player selections. A supplemental draft was held Jan. 17 via teleconference and consisted of four rounds of 19 picks. The majority of draft prospects are NCAA college seniors who have exhausted their college eligibility. Generation adidas players and non-collegiate international players are also eligible for selection in the SuperDraft and supplemental draft. Clubs may nominate players for the League’s draft-eligible list, and only players from that list may be selected. Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas that is dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional environment. Each year, a handful of top domestic underclassmen and youth national team players are signed to the league and placed in the SuperDraft through this program. Generation adidas players also receive an educational stipend. Draft Order: The Montreal Impact held the first overall selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft as expansion clubs are always given the top spot in the SuperDraft and the Supplemental Draft. The next eight selections went to clubs that did not qualify for the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs beginning with the club with fewest regular season points (3 points per win, one point per tie). The remaining ten positions were ranked by fewest regular season points among the teams that were eliminated in the same round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Unless claimed on waivers, a player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign with the League, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to the player. (D) TRADES Players, SuperDraft and Supplemental draft picks, allocation money, allocation rankings, and international player slots may all be exchanged in trades approved by the MLS League Office, provided all of the necessary rules regarding roster and salary budget compliance are met and the trade is completed during a valid trading period. No trades may occur after the Roster Freeze Deadline of September 15, 2012 at 5 p.m. ET. (E) DISCOVERY SIGNINGS Clubs may make discovery claims on players not yet under MLS contract who are not subject to the allocation ranking or lottery mechanisms. Each club has the opportunity to make six discovery signings per season (expansion teams may make 10 discovery signings in their inaugural season). A club may have up to 10 discovery claims on unsigned players at any time and may remove or add players at any time. The last day for discovery player signings is September 15, 2012 – coinciding with the roster freeze date and trade deadline.

INAUGURAL SEASON The six discovery signings can be used to fill senior roster spots only. If multiple clubs claim the same player using a discovery, the club that filed the claim first will have first rights to the player. Discovery claims expire following each season. If the League and player are unable to reach an agreement during the season, the club that first filed the discovery retains the right of first refusal in the event the player is later signed by the League. Note: To protect interests of MLS clubs in scouting and negotiations with prospective players, the League office will not publicize the names of players on club discovery lists, nor specify if a discovery claim has been filed on a particular player. (F) HOME GROWN PLAYER SIGNINGS A club may sign a player to his first professional contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at least one year in the club’s youth development program and has met the League’s Homegrown Player criteria. Players joining MLS through this mechanism are known as Homegrown Players. There is no limit to the number of Homegrown Players a club may sign in a given year. (G) RE-ENTRY PROCESS The 2012 Re-Entry Process will commence after MLS Cup. The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft is reverse order of finish in 2012, taking into account playoff performance. Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft will be: 1. Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2013). 2. Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2012 salary). 3. Players who are at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2012 salary). Players who are not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft will be made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 will negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 will be available to any MLS club on a first come, first serve basis. (H) WAIVERS A team may place a player on waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other teams. The waiver claiming period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to teams and shall expire at 5 p.m. EST on the second business

day after the Waiver Period Commencement Date. The claiming period is 48 hours. The Waiver Draft order is determined via points per game once all teams have played at least three MLS League games. If the waiver takes place prior to all teams playing in at least three League games, priority shall be granted based upon the prior year’s performance, taking playoff performance first, with teams eliminated from playoff contention at the same stage separated according to their point totals through the end of the regular season. New expansion teams shall be at the bottom of the waiver order. Once a team selects a player off waivers, that club is automatically moved to the bottom of the priority list for subsequent waiver selections in a given season, regardless of its points-per-game total. Players who may be placed on the MLS waiver wire are as follows: (i) A player waived by an MLS team in the current season; (ii) A player who completed his college eligibility within the past season, who was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft; (iii) A player who has remaining college eligibility (and was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft), but the League at its discretion and after taking into account exceptional circumstances determines the player may be offered an MLS contract; (iv) A player who has played in MLS previously where his last MLS team does not wish to exercise their right of first refusal, except in the case of returning U.S. National Team players as stated above. (v) A player who was drafted in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft, and who after a trial with the club is not offered a contract by the first Monday of June. (I) LOTTERY Some players shall be assigned to MLS teams via the weighted Lottery process. Any team assigned a player through the lottery in any particular season shall not be assigned another lottery player that season unless and until all teams have received a lottery player or have agreed to waive their option to participate in a Lottery. The players made available through lotteries include: (i) Generation adidas players signed after the MLS SuperDraft; (ii) Draft eligible players to whom an MLS contract was offered but who failed to sign with the League prior to the Draft. The weighted lottery takes into consideration each team’s performance over its last 34 regular season games and the most recent postseason. The team with the worst record over its last 34 regular season games (dating back to previous season if necessary and taking

major league soccer

HOUSTON DYNAMO

FOREVER ORANGE

playoff performance into account) will have the greatest probability of winning the lottery. Teams are not required to participate in a lottery. Players are assigned via the lottery system in order to prevent a player from potentially influencing his destination club with a strategic holdout.

(B) TRANSFERS AND LOANS An MLS player may be transferred or loaned at any time to a team outside the League (subject to that team’s Federation’s transfer window), subject to the consent of the player.

(J) EXTREME HARDSHIP CALL-UPS Teams may add players to their roster in cases of “extreme hardship” as follows: (1) a club with three goalkeepers on its 30-man roster, but has less than two available goalkeepers or (2) a team has less than 15 available players. Extreme hardship call-ups are made on a game-by-game basis.

The registration windows – the dates between which MLS may request the transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country – are as follows:

(K) SEASON-ENDING INJURY REPLACEMENTS A team with a player lost to a season-ending injury can place the player on the Season Ending Injury List and replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the season-ending injury list once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). International player limits still apply at the time a season-ending replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits). (L) SHORT-TERM INJURY REPLACEMENTS A player who has a short-term injury can be placed on the Disabled List once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). The team will remain responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary on the salary budget. Note: the injured player will have to sit out a minimum of six MLS League matches before he can rejoin the team’s roster. International player limits still apply at the time a shortterm replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits). NOTE: No changes may be made to a team’s active full roster during the period beginning on September 16, 2012 (day after Roster Freeze Date) through the day after MLS Cup. Nevertheless, a team may obtain players in accordance with the extreme hardship rules and procedures to replace players who are injured or otherwise legitimately unavailable after the Roster Freeze Date. Any other replacements after the Roster Freeze Date may only be made in exceptional circumstances in the League’s sole and absolute discretion. (III.) METHODS OF RELEASING PLAYERS (A) WAIVERS Teams may waive players based on performance at any time during the MLS season. Players with guaranteed contracts will continue to have their salary budget charge applied to the team salary budget, subject to any settlement. Players on semi-guaranteed contracts can be waived prior to July 1 of any year and free up the corresponding budget space. If a player on a semi-guaranteed contract is waived after July 1, his salary budget charge will count against the team’s salary budget and the team waiving the player will not receive a replacement except under the normal player acquisition mechanisms. Any settlement amount will be charged to the team’s salary budget.

major league soccer

January 21 – April 15 (Primary Window) June 27 – July 27 (Secondary Window) (C) CONTRACT EXPIRATION When a player’s contract expires, the player does not count against the roster or budget of the team in question. Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the rights to the player indefinitely following the expiration of a contract only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. (D) BUYOUT OF GUARANTEED CONTRACT Teams may have the ability to buyout one guaranteed player as follows: • A Team may buy out one (1) guaranteed player (including a DP’s) contract during the off-season and free up the corresponding budget space. Such a buyout is at the particular MLS Team’s own expense. • A Team may not free up budget space with a buyout of a player’s salary budget charge during the season. Such a buyout will be conducted by the League and count on a Club’s budget in a manner consistent with current MLS guidelines. (IV.) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL Right of first refusal grants one MLS club the first opportunity to add a player to its roster in the event that the player signs with MLS. Holding a right of first refusal applies only within MLS and does not indicate holding of the player’s International Transfer Certificate. OUT OF CONTRACT PLAYERS / OPTIONS NOT PICKED UP: Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the right of first refusal to the player indefinitely only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. DRAFTED BUT NOT SIGNED: A player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign, or who as of the first Monday in June is not offered a contract after a trial and clears waivers, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 immediately following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to sign the player. PLAYER TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE MLS: If a team receives allocation money as a result of a player’s transfer, the team does not retain a right of first refusal.

MLS ALL-STAR GAME

The MLS All-Star Game has honored the league’s top players since 1996, when more than 78,000 fans packed Giants Stadium to see a doubleheader featuring MLS All-Stars and a Brazilian national team friendly. Since then, the match has gone through several different formats, eventually evolving into its current format, in which the MLS All-Stars take on a prominent club team from around the world. This uniquely competitive format was adopted for the first time in 2003, when a sold-out crowd saw the MLS All-Stars beat Chivas 3-1. The biggest win for MLS so far came in 2006, when Dynamo midfielder Dwayne De Rosario scored the only goal and Dynamo defender Eddie Robinson saved a goal in the MLS All-Stars’ 1-0 win over Chelsea. MLS has also beaten Fulham, Celtic, and West Ham but lost on penalty kicks to Everton in 2009 after a 1-1 tie that included a goal from Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis. The MLS All-Star Game came to Houston in 2010, with the Dynamo helping to bring the biggest opponent in league history, Manchester United. A Reliant Stadium soccer record crowd of 70,728 watched Manchester United roll to a 5-2 win, with Dynamo forward Brian Ching scoring for MLS and Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis hitting the post.

The community build will include community service projects that foster the improvement of the lives of the people that live and work in Houston’s East End District. Dynamo Academy Youth Scholarship Program – In an effort to offer the opportunity to as many promising soccer players as possible, we have developed a scholarship program to help offset some of the costs for students that may not be able to afford to participate in Dynamo camps. The scholarship program will be made up of a committee of the Dynamo Charities Board of Directors, who will review all applications and make scholarship recommendations dependent on monies available. Kicks For Kids – The Houston Dynamo will offer specially priced tickets to corporations which will then be donated to Dynamo Charities for distribution to local children’s charities. These valuable donations allow these children an opportunity to enjoy a positive morale building experience at BBVA Compass Stadium. Player Initiatives With the leadership and a personal cash commitment from each player, the goal is to donate $60,000 to each of six local organizations through initiatives that include the following:

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2012 Man & Woman of the Year (Geoff Cameron)

Bald is Beautiful benefitting Curing Children’s Cancer Fund (player TBD)

Dynamo Diesel is the mascot for the 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo. Diesel loves everything soccer, especially everything related to the Dynamo. His soccer skills were almost good enough to make the team, but eventually it was decided that his best talent lay in exciting orange-clad crowds and cheering the Dynamo to victory. Diesel loves community events, corporate events, non-profit events, birthday parties, and of course, Dynamo games! But he always jumps at the chance to play striker.
