                                  December 29,2003

1.        SES Americom, Inc.’s application, SAT-LOA-20020104-00002, Call Sign
          S2433, IS GRANTED and SES Americom, Inc. is authorized to launch and
          operate its Americom-1 1 (“AMC-11”) satellite at 131” 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.

2.        SES Americom, Inc.’s amendment application, SAT-AMD-2002 1 108-
          00214, Call Sign S2433, IS GRANTED and SES Americom, Inc. is
          authorized to provide direct-to-home services over the AMC- 1 1 satellite in
          accordance with SES AMERICOM, INC. Applications for Modification of
          Fixed-Satellite Service Space Station Licenses, Order and Authorization, 18
          FCC Rcd 16589 (rel. August 15,2003).

3.        SES Americom, Inc. shall prepare the necessary information, as may be
          required, for submission to the International Telecommunication Union
          (“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. SES Americom, Inc. 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. fj 25.1 1l(b).

 4.       The TV/FM carriers on the AMC-11 satellite must operate within the
          power-flux density limits defined in 47 C.F.R. 5 25.208.

     5.   In order to ensure continuity of service at the 131O W.L. orbital location,
          SES Americom, Inc. must begin providing service at the 131O W.L. orbital
          location before the satellite it is replacing discontinues service at the 131O
          W.L. orbital location.

 6.       The license term for the AMC-11 satellite, Call Sign S2433, is fifteen years
          and will begin to run on the date that SES Americom, Inc. 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.

     7.   SES Americom, Inc. 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, SES Americom, Inc.'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 SES Americom, Inc. believes may be progressing toward
       launch, e.g., by the appearance of the system on a launch vehicle manifest.
       If SES Americom, Inc. 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.

8.     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.

9.     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.

10.    SES Americom, Inc. is afforded thirty days from the date of adoption 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.

1 1.   This grant is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules on
       delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. 3 0.261, and is effective upon adoption.
       Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review
       under Section 1.115 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. $9 1.106, 1.115,
       may be filed within 30 days of the date of the public notice indicating that
       this action was taken.
