                                             CERTIFICATION




I, Lincoln Oliveira, certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of
America that:

1.     I am the Director of Engineering and Vice President at Star One S.A. ("Star One") with
       knowledge of the construction status ofthe Star One C2 satellite.

2.     To the best of my knowledge, information, and belief:

       a.      Critical Design Review ("CDR") for the Star One C2 satellite was completed
               during meetings held between 8 March 2006 and 13 March 2006, at Alcatel
               Alenia Space (now named Thales Alenia Space). Attached are minutes from each
               day of those meetings that show the attendees, the matters discussed and the
               action items arising out of each meeting. See Attachment 1 (confidential).

       b.      To date, Star One has paid to Thales Alenia Space approximately 90%of the
               amount due on completion of Payload and System CDR and approximately 80%
               of the total amount due under contract. A small proportion of the progress
               payments due have been withheld for a number of minor pending items that
               Thales Alenia Space is to address during the following months.

       c.      Physical construction of the Star One C2 satellite has commenced. Attached is a
               photograph of the Star One C2 communications payload mated to the satellite
               bus. See Attachment 2 (confidential).
