SAT—RPL—20140221—00026 & SAT—AMD—20150806—00054 coordination or other appropriate procedures have not been completed may be subject to additional terms and conditions as required to effect coordination with the frequency assignments of other administrations. 2. In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, DIRECTV is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country. 3. DIRECTV must operate SKY—BI1 at the 43.1° W.L. orbital location in compliance with all existing or future coordination agreements for this location. 4. DIRECTV must maintain the SKY—BI1 space station within an east/west longitudinal station— keeping tolerance of + 0.05 degrees of the 43.1° W.L. orbital location. 5. The Commission has exchanged letters with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the United Arab Emirates to ensure a mutual understanding regarding the operations of the SKY—B1 space station. The letters are attached to this grant and the understandings and factual.basis for those understandings are a material consideration for this grant of authority. 6. The operation of SKY—BI1 and associated earth stations must comply with: (i) the applicable uplink limits in Sections 25.218, 25.221, 25.222, 25.226, and/or 25.227 of the Commission‘s rules in the 13.75—14.0 GHz and 14.0—14.5 GHz frequency bands; and (ii) the applicable downlink limits in Section 25.212 of the Commission‘s rules in the 10.95—11.2 GHz, 11.45—11.7 GHz, 11.7—12.2 GHz (in ITU Region 2) frequency bands. These limits must not be exceeded unless DIRECTV coordinates any non—conforming operation with the operations of U.S.—licensed GSO space stations within 6 degrees of 43.1° W.L. Non—conforming operation must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non—U.S.—licensed space stations within 6 degrees of 43.1° W.L involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed earth stations. 7. The FSS operations of SKY—BI1 and associated earth stations must comply with the parameters of the Appendix 30B satellite network USASAT—55E filed with the ITU for operation in the 10.7—10.95 GHz (space— to—Earth), 11.20—11.45 GHz (space—to—Earth), and 12.75—13.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands and any additional conditions resulting from the coordination of this network. 8. Operations of SKY—B1 in the 14.47—14.5 GHz frequency band must comply with the terms of footnotes 5.149 and US342 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, 5.149, US342, which urge taking all practicable steps to protect the radio astronomy service from harmful interference. 9. DIRECTY‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz frequency band is limited to international operations in accordance with footnote NG52 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106 NG52. 10. DIRECTYV‘s request for waiver of footnote NG52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, to use the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency band to offer domestic services on an unprotected, non— interference basis in the United States is GRANTED, as conditioned. We find that waiver does not undermine the purpose of the rules because the waiver involves only earth stations that are receive—only in the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency band and thus are not capable of causing interference into fixed stations operating in this band. Furthermore, because DIRECTV has agreed to accept any level of interference from fixed stations into its receive—only earth stations‘ operations in these bands, fixed station operators will not be required to coordinate their station operations with the space station operator‘s receive—only earth stations‘ operations.* Under these circumstances, we determine that an additional coordination burden is not placed upon fixed station operators and their ability to expand service in the future would not be restricted in any manner." Grant here, as conditioned, is consistent with prior Commission precedent.© 4 See Legal Narrative, IBFS File No. SAT—RPL—20140221—00026 at 4—5. 5 PanAmSat Licensee Corp.

DIRECTV‘s space—to—Earth transmissions in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band that provide domestic service are on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis relative to fixed stations. As such, DIRECTV must not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, fixed stations to which frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band have either been already assigned, or to which frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band may be assigned at a later date. DIRECTV must terminate operations in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band upon notification that its operations are causing interference to fixed stations operating in this band, and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. b. DIRECTV must inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from resellers accessing capacity on the SKY—B1 space station, that the service in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band with regard to domestic service is being provided on an uncoordinated basis, and that the potential exists that future licensed fixed stations may cause harmful interference to these unprotected earth stations. 11. DIRECTV‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz band (space—to—Earth) is subject to footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47. C.F.R. § 2.106, US211, which urges airborne or space station operations taking all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference, consistent with footnote US74. 12. DIRECTV‘s request for waiver of footnote NG52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47. C.FE.R. § 2.106, to use the 12.75—13.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band to offer domestic services on an unprotected, non—interference basis in the United States is GRANTED. DIRECTV‘s operations within the United States must be limited to two gateway earth stations in this band. As such, we find that waiver does not undermine the purpose of the rules. 13. In the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space), receiving space stations in the fixed satellite service must not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106. 14. Pursuant to footnote US337 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US337, any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the SKY—B1 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) is required to coordinate through National Telecommunications and Information Administration‘s (NTIA‘s) Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee‘s (IRAC‘s) Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS) to minimize interference to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, including manned space flight. 15. Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the SKY—B1 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must comply with footnote US356 to United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US356, which specifies that in the band 13.75—14 GHz, an earth station in the fixed—satellite service shall have a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 m and the equivalent isotropically radiated powers (e.i.r.p.) of any emission should be at least 68 dBW and has authorized downlink of domestic service to customer receive—only earth stations in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz bands, subject to conditions.

ANNEX A

Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 March 15, 2016 Tariq Al Awadhi Executive Director Spectrum AffairsDepartment Telecommunications Regulatory Authority PO Box 26662 Abu Dhabi, UAE Re: Operations ofthe SKY—B1 Satellite Dear Mr. Al Awadhi: This letter is to confirm the informal understanding of the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) concerning the SKY—B1 satellite. The satellite is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2016 and to operate at the 43.1° W.L. orbital location. SKY—B1 is capable of operating using the following frequencies: 10.7—10.95 GHz, 10.95—11.2 GHz, 11.2—11.45 GHz, 11.45—11.7 GHz, 11.7—12.2 GHz, and 18.85—20.2 GHz (downlink); 12.75—13.25 GHz, 13.75—14.0 GHz, 14.0—14.5 GHz, and 28.65—30.0 GHz (uplink). Telecommand, telemetry, and control for the satellite will use the 11.443 and 11.4435 GHz or 11.4465 and 11.447 GHz (space—to—earth) and 13.2495 GHz and 14.498 GHz (Earth—to—space) center frequencies. The operator of SKY—B1 is DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (DIRECTV). DIRECTV, is a party to a commercial agreement with Intelsat and Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC (YahSat), concerning use by Yahsat of the 28.65—30.0 GHz (uplink) and 18.85—20.2 GHz (downlink) frequency bands (the Ka—band frequencies). Yahsat has obtained approval from the TRA, the Administration of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in connection with the operations of Sky—B1 in those bands, consistent with the UAE‘s ITU filings at 43.0° W.L., known as YAHSAT—GS5—43W (CRC/2774) and MADAR—43 W (CR/C3273). It is my understanding that our agencies have concurred on the following issues concerning the — operation of the SKY—BI1 satellite, contingent upon completion of the FCC licensing process: 1) At the 43.1° W.L. orbital location, operations of SKY—BI1 in the Ka—band frequencies will be subject to the TRA‘s authority and such authority will allow the TRA to require YahSat to modify or cease operations in the Ka—band frequencies if deemed necessary. 2) Atthe 43.1° W.L. orbital location, operations of SKY—BI1 in frequency bands other than the Ka—band frequencies will be subject solely to the authority of the FCC. Operations of SKY— B1 at any location other than 43.1° W.L., including operations in the Ka—band frequencies and any operations as a result of any equipment failure in the satellite that leads to inability to maintain the satellite within +0.05° of its assigned 43.1° W.L. orbital location, will also be subject solely to the authority of the FCC. 3) The FCC will consult with the TRA if practicable, prior to any relocation of the satellite, or as soon thereafier as possible.

4) The FCC will retain the unilateral right in the event of extraordinary circumstances to direct DIRECTV to cease operations of SKY—B1, or any portion of the satellite, without the need for consultation with or approval from the TRA, for example, to comply with a direction by the U.S. President under Section 706(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 606(c), or in the event of a satellite anomaly presenting an imminent danger, and DIRECTV will be required to comply with any such direction. It is understood that, if operations of SKY—BI1 in the Ka—band frequencies are ceased under this condition, the FCC will inform the TRA, at the earliest possible opportunity, about the action taken by the FCC. 5) Yahsat and the TRA will be responsible for the compliance with the ITU Radio Regulations (in particular the coordination and notification procedures) for the operations of SKY—B1 at 43.1° W.L. in the Ka—band frequencies. 6) DIRECTV and the FCC will be responsible for the compliance with the ITU Radio Regulations (in particular the coordination and notification procedures) for SKY—B1, except as noted in number 5 above. 7) With respect to Paragraph 3.2 ofthe Minutes ofthe 13"" Plenary Meeting of WRC—12 (as set out in ITU Circular Letter CR/333), the FCC will not object to the TRA notifying the ITU of the bringing into use of frequency assignments ofthe YAHSAT—G5—43W and MADAR—43W networks in the bands 28.6530.0 GHz and 18.85—20.2 GHz, based upon the capability of SKY—B1. In addition, it is my understanding that the U.S. State Department will register the satellite with the Secretary General of the United Nations, pursuant to the 1976 U.N,. Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space. Any notices, inquiries, and correspondence from the TRA concerning these matters should be directed to the Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau at Jose.Albuquerque@feo.gov with a copy to KarlKensinger@fec.gov, on the part of the FCC. The FCC will direct any notices, inquiries, and correspondence from the FCC concerning these matters to the Manager Int. Organizations at khalid.alawadi@tra.gov.ae with a copy to Tariq.alawadhi@tra.gov.ae. If the foregoing corresponds to your understanding of the informal arrangements between our agencies concerning SKY—B1, please confirm by return letter. Thank you. Sincerely, @%Abflmq ose P. Albuque Chief, Satellite Division International Bureau
