orbit location in the 3700-4200 MHz, 5925-6425 MHz, 11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz bands
in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set forth in its application,
as amended, and this Attachment.

2.     The license term for the AMC-9 satellite, Call Sign S2434 is 15 years, starting from June
30,2003, the date that SES Americom, Inc. commenced operations on the AMC-9 satellite at the
