Attachment Conditions of Authorization September 28, 2004 1. Loral Cyberstar,Inc.‘s (*Loral Cyberstar®) request, File No. SAT—MOD: 20011130—001 18, to modify its authorization, SAT—LOA—19980508—00043 (Call Sign §2357),‘ to include authority to operate in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 13.75—14.0 GHz frequency bands IS GRANTED, Accordingly, Loral Cyberstar is authorized to launch and operate its TELSTAR—1 1R Ku/extended Ku—band satellite at the 37.5° W.L orbital location satellte in the 10.95—11.2 GHe, 11.45—11.7 GHz, 11.7—12.2 GHz, 12.5—12.75 GHz, 13.75—14.0 GHz and 14.0—14.5 GHz frequency bands in accordance with the terms, conditions, and technical specifications set frth in ts application, this Attachment and the Federal Communications Commission‘s Rules. 3. The TELSTAR—I 1R satellite must be constructed, launche;‘l, 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: (s) Execute a binding contract for construction by September 28, 2005; (1) Complete the Critical Design Review by September 28, 2006; (¢) Commence construction by September 28, 2007; (d) Launch and begin operations by September 28, 2009; and (e) Loral Cyberstar must file a bond with the Commission in the amount of$3 million," pursuant to the procedures set forth in Public Notice, DA 03—2602, 18 FCC Red 16283 (2003), within 30 days of the date ofthis grant (October 28, 2004). Failure to meet any of these dates shall render this authorization null and void. 3. In light ofthe Commission‘s First Space Station Reform Order,? and the grant of Loral Cyberstar‘s request to add frequency bands to its existing authorization, we dismiss as moot the request‘ to reconsider the 2007 Replacement Authorization. * Application of Lorl Space & CommunicationLi Ph/a Orion Atlan,L.P. forAuthoriy to Lainch and Opertea Hybrid Ku—BandC— Band SatllteSystem atthe37.5 W.L.

4. Loral Cyberstar shall prepare the necessary information, as may be required, for submission tothe ITU to initiate and complete the advance publication, international coordination, due diligence, and notification process ofthis space station, in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Loral Cyberstar shall be held responsible for all cost recovery fees associated with these TTU 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 tadio 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. § 25.111(b). 5.. The TELSTAR—I1 JR satellite shall maintain the 37.5° W.L orbital location within +0.05° longitudinal station—keeping. See 47 CFR 25.210@)2). 6. Loral Cyberstar may only provide downlink services into the United States and its possessions from the TELSTAR—1 1R satelite in the 10.95—11.2 GHz or 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency bands if the corresponding uplinks originate outside ofthe United States and its possessions. 7. Loral Cyberstar maynot provide downlink services into the United States and ts Possessions from the TELSTAR—1 1R satellte in the 12.5—12.75 GHz frequency band 8. In the 13.75—14.0 GH band, all earthstation operators in the United States and its Possessions (US&P) are required to coordinate through NTIA‘s Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee‘s Frequency Assignment Subcommittce."

$ Operation of the TELSTAR—1 1R satellite network in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band shall be in accordance with footnotes US356 and US357 to 47 C.F.R. § 2.106 in the US&P, including that an earth station in the fixed—satellite service shall have a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters, and with footnotes 5.502 and 5.503 to the ITU Radio Regulations outside of the US&P." 10. Operators of earth stations accessing the TELSTAR—1 TR satelltein the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band are urged to cooperate voluntarily with NASA in order to facilitate continued operation ofNASA‘s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellit 11. In order to ensure continuity of service, the TELSTAR—I 1R satellite must begin providing service contemporaneously with the discontinuation of service of the satellie it is replacing at the 37.5° W.L. orbital location. 12. The license term for the TELSTAR—I 1R satellie, Call Sign 82357, is fifteen years and will begin to un on the date that Loral Cyberstar certifies to the Commission thatthe satelite has been successfully placed into orbit and its operation fully conforms to the terms and conditions ofthis authorization. 13. Loral Cyberstar must provide a writtenstatement t the Commission within 60 days ofthe date of this grant that identifies any known satellites located at, or planned to be located at, Loral Cyberstar‘s assigned orbitallocation, or assigned in the vicinity of that location such that the station—keeping volume ofthe 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, ut should assess and address any systems reflected in ITU filings that are in operation or that Loral Cyberstar believes may be progressing toward launch, e by the appearance ofthe system on a launch vehicle * Domesteally, fotrates US336 and US357 are applieabl. Intertional, footrotes 5.502 and 5.503 to the Interationl Telecommunication Union (TU) Radio Repultions also plae cerain resrictions on SS opentions. We requirethat earth sttions in the US&P operie in ecordance with U.S. fomotes US356 and US357. For nor—US&P eath stations accessing the TELSTAR—11R satlite, we require operatonto be consistent withimtemational ootmotes 5.502 and 5.503. See Appletionof PanAmSt License Corp.

manifest. If Loral Cyberstar 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. 14. Loral Cyberstar is afforded thity days from the date ofrelease ofthis grant and authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitue formal acceptance ofthe authorization as conditioned. 15. This Grant is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 ofthe Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective upon release.
