Operations under this grant must comport with the legal and technical specifications set forth by the
applicant or petitioner and with the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules not waived herein. This
grant is also subject to the following conditions:

    1.   While at the 169.0° E.L. orbital location, Horizons—3 must maintain the Horizons 3e space station with an
         east/west longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of +/— 0.05 degrees.
    2. In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, Horizons—3 is obliged to comply
       with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country.
    3. Horizons—3 must operate Horizons 3¢ at the 169.0° E.L. orbital location in compliance with all existing or
       future coordination agreements for this location.
    4.   Horizons—3‘s requests for waiver of Sections 25.210(a)(3), and 25.210(i)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47
         CFR §§ 25.210(a)(3), and 25.210(i)(1), are moot. Section 25.210(a)(3) requires that space stations in the
         FSS used for domestic service in the 3700—4200 MHz and 5925—6425 MHz frequency bands be capable
         of switching polarization sense upon ground command. Section 25.210(i)(1) requires space station
         antennas in the FSS to be designed to meet a cross—polarization isolation of at least 30 dB within the

        primary coverage area of the antenna. Sections 25.210(a)(3) and 25.210(i)(1) were eliminated as part of a
        recent Commission—level order streamlining Part 25 rules governing satellite communications*
        Horizons—3‘s request for waivers of Sections 25.202(a)(1) and 2.106 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 CFR
        §§ 25.202(a)(1) and 2.106, which allocate 12.2—12.7 GHz to Fixed Service (FS) and Broadcast Satellite
        Service (BSS) in the United States, and 12.7—12.75 GHz to FS, Mobile Service, and FSS (Earth—to—space)
        in International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Region 2, including the United States, is GRANTED on
        a non—interference and non—protected basis. Horizons—3 will operate Horizons 3¢ in these bands at the
        169.0° E.L. orbital location in the space—to—Earth direction, which is in accordance with the Region 3
        allocation for FSS, and thus conforms to the International Table of Frequency Allocations. Further, under
        the ITU Region 2 BSS Plan, there is at least 15.8 degrees of orbital separation between Horizons 3e at
        169.0° E.L. and the nearest possible BSS network that could provide service to any portion of the ITU
        Region 2, so it is unlikely that operations of Horizons 3¢ will interfere with any BSS networks in Region
        2. Moreover, Intelsat License LLC (Intelsat) was formerly authorized to operate its Intelsat 8 space
        station to provide FSS at the 168.9° E.L. orbital location in the 12.25—12.75 GHz (space—to—Earth)
        frequency band, on a non—interference, non—protected basis to any earth station in ITU Region 2.
        Additionally, Horizons—3 will protect terrestrial station operations by complying with ITU PFD limits
        specified in No. 21.16 of the ITU Radio Regulations. As a non—conforming user of the 12.2—12.75 GHz
        band in ITU Region 2, Horizons—3 must not cause harmful interference to existing and future authorized
        users who are operating in accordance with the Table of Allocations in ITU Region 2, and must accept
        interference from such authorized users. In the event Horizon 3¢e‘s operations in the 12.20—12.75 GHz
        band cause harmful interference to any authorized service operating in accordance with the Table of
        Frequency Allocations, Horizons—3 must cease operations immediately upon notification of such
        interference and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event.
        Horizons—3‘s request for waiver of the requirement in Section 25.140 to provide an interference analysis
        for the Appendix 30B frequencies of 10.85—10.95 GHz, 11.2—11.45 GHz, is GRANTED. Horizons—3
        states that at 169.0° E.L., Horizons 3e will be at least 32 degrees from any U.S. Appendix 30B filing
        covering the 10.85—10.95 GHz, 11.2—11.45 GHz, and frequencies, and that this will provide sufficient
        orbital separation to ensure that Horizons 3e does not significantly degrade the interference environment
        for any other U.S. Appendix 30B location.
        The operation of Horizons 3e and associated earth stations must comport with the applicable uplink and
        downlink limits in 47 CFR § 25.140(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, unless Horizons—3 coordinates any
        non—conforming operations with the operations of U.S.—licensed geostationary orbit space stations within
        6 degrees of the 169.0° E.L. orbital location. The operations of Horizons 3e must also comport with the
        maximum power limits indicated in its application. Non—conforming operationmust also be coordinated
        with respect to those operations of non—U.S.—licensed space stations within 6 degrees of 169.0° E.L.
        involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed earth stations.
        Horizons—3‘s use of the 10.85—10.95 GHz (space—to—Earth), 11.2—11.45 GHz (space—to—Earth), and 12.92—
        13.25 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands is subject to footnote 5.441 to the United States Table of
        Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, 5.441, which states that operations in these bands shall be in
        accordance with the provisions of Appendix 30B.
        Horizons—3‘s use of the 10.85—11.7 GHz frequency band is subject to footnote US211 to the United States
        Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airborne or space

         5.149, US342, which urge applicants to take all practicable steps to protect the radio astronomy service
         from harmful interference.
     12. Pursuant to footnote US337 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106,
         US337, any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the Horizons 3e
         space station in the 13.75—13.8 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band is required to coordinate through the
         National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Interdepartment Radio Advisory
         Committee (IRAC) Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS) to minimize interference to the National
         Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, including
         manned space flight.
     13. In the 13.75—14.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band, receiving space stations in the fixed satellite
         service must not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with
         footnote US356 the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, US356.
     14. Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the Horizons
         3e space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band must comply with footnote
         US356 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, US356, which specifies a
         mandatory minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters and recommended minimum and maximum
         equivalent isotropically radiated powers (e.i.r.p.). Operations of any earth station located outside the
         United States and its possessions communicating with the Horizons 3e space station in the 13.75—14.0
         GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band must be consistent with No. 5.502 to the ITU Radio Regulations,
         which allows a minimum antenna diameter of 1.2 meters for earth stations of a geostationary satellite
         orbit network and specifies mandatory power limits.
    15. Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the Horizons
        3e space station in the 13.77—13.78 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band must comply with footnote

© This condition originally included the 12.25—12.5 GHz and 14.25—14.5 GHz frequency bands that were used on the Intelsat 8
space station (Call sign $2460), however, due to an emergency deorbit of Intelsat 8 on December 26, 2016, Horizons—3
would not be able to fulfill its continuity of service obligation in these frequencies prior to the launch of Horizons 3e, which
is scheduled for the third quarter of 2018. See Letter from Cynthia J. Grady, Regulatory Counsel, Intelsat Corporation, to
Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, IBFS File No. SAT—MOD—20151021—00073 (filed Dec. 28, 2016). The emergency
deorbit of Intelsat 8 constituted an unforeseen circumstance beyond Intelsat‘s control, and we find the public interest would
be served by removing these frequencies from this condition.
7 On August 2, 2016, Horizons—3 filed the bond for Horizons 3e with the Commission in the amount of $3,000,000, pursuant j
to the procedures set forth in Public Notice, DA 03—2602, 18 FCC Red 16283 (2003).

By selecting A, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is not subject to the geographic service or geographic
coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25.
                                                                                                                              4 B
