ATTACHMENT TO GRANT Ligado Networks Subsidiary LLC IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20180912-00070 IBFS File No(s): SAT-MOD-20180912-00070 GRANTED — Licensee/Grantee: Ligado Networks Subsidiary LLC (Ligado) With Conditions Call Sign: AMSC-1 Satellite Name: MSAT-2 Orbital Location: 106.50 W.L. (required station- (±0.10 East-West) keeping tolerance) Administration: United States of America Nature of Service: Mobile-satellite service International Bureau Satellite Division Scope of Grant: Modification of authorization to operate the MSAT-2 space station at the 106.5° W.L. orbital location instead of 103.3° W.L., its previously authorized location.1 Previous Grant(s): See call sign AMSC-1 Service Area(s): Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada Frequencies: Service Links 1530-1559 MHz (space-to-Earth) 1631.5-1645.5 MHz (Earth-to-space) 1646.5-1660.5 MHz (Earth-to-space) Feeder Links 10.75-10.95 0Hz (space-to-Earth) 13-13.15 0Hz (Earth-to-space) 13.2-13.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) Telemetry, Tracking, and Command 1 1.7005 0Hz (space-to-Earth) 1 1.701 GHz (space-to-Earth) 14.0005 GHz (Earth-to-space) 14.4995 GHz (Earth-to-space) Beacon Frequencies 10.7535 GHz (primary) 10.751 (backup) Unless otherwise specified herein, operations under this grant must comport with the legal and technical specifications set forth by the applicant or petitioner and with Federal Communication Commission’s rules not waived herein. This grant is also subject to the following conditions: 1. Ligado must comply with all terms and conditions cumulatively applied to operation of the MSAT-2 space station under Call Sign AMSC- 1. 2. Ligado is authorized to operate the MSAT-2 space station with an East-West station-keeping tolerance of +1- 0.1 degrees. Section 25.210(j) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 25.210(j), states that space stations “must be maintained within 0.05 degrees of their assigned orbital longitude in the east/west direction, unless specifically authorized by the Commission to operate with a different longitudinal tolerance. Ligado states that there will be no overlap with any existing or planned neighboring space stations at the 106.5° W.L. orbital location. MSAT-2’s east-west +I 0.1 degree station-keeping operations shall terminate in the event that a satellite is launched into a location such that its station- ‘Ligado was previously granted special temporary authority to conduct TF&C operations necessary to drift the MSAT-2 space station from the 103.3° W.L. orbital location to the 106.5° W.L. orbital location, and to conduct TT&C to maintain the space station at 106.5° W.L. See Ligado Networks Subsidiary LLC, IBFS file Nos. SAT-STA-20180810-0006l (granted Aug. 2$, 2018) and SAT-STA-201$0914-00072 (granted Oct. 4,201$). Page 1 of 2

ATTACHMENT TO GRANT Ligado Networks Subsidiary LLC IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20180912-00070 keeping volume would overlap MSAT-2’s +1-0.1 degree station-keeping volume, but would not overlap MSAT-2’s +1. 0.05 degree station-keeping volume, unless Ligado has successfully coordinated MSAT 2’s physical operations with those of the other spacecraft. This authorization is limited to this spacecraft, does not extend any other spacecraft, and it is limited to operations at the 106.5° W.L. orbital location. 3. Nothing in this grant extends the license term of MSAT-2, which expires on December 31, 2018. Licensee/grantee is afforded thirty (30) days from the date of release of this action to decline the grant as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the grant as conditioned.
