                                   Conditions of Authorization
                                       February 19,2004

    1.         PanAmSat Licensee Corp.'s application, SAT-LOA- 19991207-001 17 as
amended by SAT-AMD-2002 1029-00198, SAT-AMD-20030827-00283, and SAT-
AMD-2003 1223-00365, IS GRANTED and PanAmSat Licensee Corp. is authorized to
launch and operate its GALAXY XIV satellite S2385 at 125.05" W.L., in the frequency
bands 3700 - 4200 MHz and 5925 - 6425 MHz, in accordance with the terms, conditions,
and technical specifications set forth in its application and this Attachment and the
Commission' s Rul es .

    2.          PanAmSat Licensee Corp. shall prepare the necessary information, as may
be required, for submission to the ITU to initiate and complete the advance publication,
international coordination, due diligence, and notification process of this space station, in
accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. PanAmSat Licensee Corp. shall be held
responsible for all cost recovery fees associated with these ITU filings. We also note that
no protection from interference caused by radio stations authorized by other
administrations is guaranteed unless coordination and notification procedures are timely
completed or, with respect to individual administrations, by successfully completing
coordination agreements. Any radio station authorization for which coordination has not
been completed may be subject to additional terms and conditions as required to effect
coordination of the frequency assignments of other administrations. See 47 C.F.R. 6
25.1 1 l(b).

    3.        The TV/FM carriers on the GALAXY XIV satellite must operate within
the power-flux density limits defined in 47 C.F.R. 5 25.208.

    4.        In order to ensure continuity of service at the nominal 125" W.L. orbital
location, GALAXY XIV. must begin providing service at 125.05' W.L. orbital location
contemporaneously with the discontinuation of service of the satellite it is replacing at
the nominal 125' W.L. orbital location.

    5.         The license term for the GALAXY XIV satellite, callsign S2385, is fifteen
years and will begin to run on the date that PanAmSat Licensee Corp. certifies to the
Commission that the satellite has been successfully placed into orbit and its operation
fully conforms to the terms and conditions of this authorization.

    6.          PanAmSat Licensee Corp. must provide a written statement to the
Commission within 60 days of the date of this grant that identifies any known satellites
located at, or planned to be located at, PanAmSat Licensee Corp.'s assigned orbital
location, or assigned in the vicinity of that location such that the station-keeping volume
of the respective satellites might overlap, and that states the measures that will be taken to
prevent in-orbit collisions with such satellites. This statement should address any
licensed FCC systems, or any systems applied for and under consideration by the FCC.
The statement need not address every filing with the ITU that meets these criteria, but
should assess and address any systems reflected in ITU filings that are in operation or
that PanAmSat Licensee Corp. believes may be progressing toward launch, e.g. by the
appearance of the system on a launch vehicle manifest. If PanAmSat Licensee Corp.


elects to rely on coordination with other operators to prevent in-orbit collisions, it shall
provide a statement as to the manner in which such coordination will be effected.

    7.         Assignment of any orbital location is subject to change by summary order
of the Commission on 30 days notice and does not confer any permanent right to use the
orbit and spectrum.

    8.          Neither this grant nor any right granted by this authorization, shall be
transferred, assigned or disposed of in any manner, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by
transfer of control of any corporation holding this authorization, to any person except
upon application to the Commission and upon a finding by the Commission that the
public interest, convenience and necessity will be served thereby.

    9.          PanAmSat Licensee Corp. is afforded thirty days from the date of release
of this grant and authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to
respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as
conditioned.

    10.         This Grant is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules
on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. 5 0.261, and is effective upon release. Petitions for
reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. $6 1.106, 1. I 15, may be filed within 30 days of the date of
the public notice indicating that this action was taken.
