   conditions, and technical specifications set forth in its application and this Attachment.

2. EchoStar-125W must be constructed, launched, and placed into operation in accordance
    with the technical parameters and terms and conditions of this authorization by these
    specified time periods following the date of authorization:

        a.   Execute a binding contract for construction within one year (2/13/2005)
        b.   Complete the Critical Design Review within two years (2/13/2006)

    Failure to meet any of these dates shall render this authorization null and void.

3. EchoStar Satellite Corporation 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.
   EchoStar Satellite Corporation 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

             03-2602, 18 FCC Rcd 16283 (2003), within 30 days of the date of this grant
             (3/15/2OO4).

    Failure to meet any of these dates shall render this authorization null and void.

3. EchoStar Satellite Corporation 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.

   caused by radio stations authorized by other administrations is guaranteed unless
   coordination and notification procedures are timely completed or, with respect to

   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. 8 25.11l(b).

4. The license term for the EchoStar-125W satellite, Call Sign S2601, is fifteen years and
   will begin to run on the date that EchoStar Satellite Corporation 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.

5. EchoStar Satellite Corporation must coordinate its downlink operations in the bands 18.3-
   18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz with U.S. Government systems, including Government
   operations to earth stations in foreign countries, in accordance with footnote US334 to the

   Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. 3 2.106, and 47 C.F.R. 5 25.208, of the
   Commission's Rules.


7. EchoStar Satellite Corporation shall 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, EchoStar Satellite Corporation’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 EchoStar Satellite Corporation believes may be progressing toward launch, e.g. , by
   the appearance of the system on a launch vehicle manifest. If EchoStar Satellite
   Corporation 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. This grant does not in any way constitute an approval of EkhoStar Satellite Corporation’s
   post-mission disposal plan for Echostar-125W.

9. EchoStar Satellite Corporation shall submit to the Commission a modification to this
   authorization, specifying the exact frequencies for tracking, telemetry and command
   (TT&C) functions for EchoStar-l25W, on, or prior to, the date of its first construction
   milestone, i.e., 2/13/2005. EchoStar Satellite Corporation states in paragraph A. 19 that
   the TT&C frequencies for Echostar-125W will be “within the Ka bands” and that it will
   provide its final TT&C frequencies for the Echostar-125W satellite to the Commission
   shortly after it has selected a manufacturer for the satellite. Thus, we conclude that
   EchoStar Satellite Corporation will be able to provide precise TT&C frequencies to the
   Commission by the time it has executed a binding contract for construction. In addition,
   we remind EchoStar Satellite Corporation that, consistent with 47 C.F.R. 5 25.202(g), the
   frequencies selected for TT&C functions must be at either or both edges of the allocated
   bands.

9. EchoStar Satellite Corporation 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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 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. $5 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the date of the public
    notice indicating that this action was taken.
