                             On July 8, 2002, a company named Orbital Resources, LLC, through its
             attorneys, sent you a letter (the "July 8 Letter") informing you that the above—referenced
             license authorizing Loral Space & Communications Ltd. to operate both Ku—band and
             Ka—band capacity at 47° W.L. was "null and void" and requesting that the Bureau grant
             Columbia Communications Corporation ("CCC") the authority to operate a Ku—band
              satellite at that orbital location.
