This grant is also subject to the following conditions: 1. Hughes must prepare the necessary information, as may be required, for submission to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and complete the advance publication, coordination, due diligence, and notification process of this space station, in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Hughes will be held responsible for all cost-recovery fees associated with 1TU filings. 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, coordination agreements are successfully completed. Any 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 CFR § 25.111. 2. In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, Hughes is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country. 3. Hughes must operate the EchoStar XXIV space station at the 95.2° W.L. orbital location in compliance with all existing or future coordination agreements for this location. 4. Hughes must maintain the EchoStar XXIV space station within an eastlwest longitudinal station-keeping tolerance of +I~ 0.05 degrees of the 95.2° W.L. orbital location. 5. Operations of the EchoStar XXIV space station 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 Hughes coordinates any non-conforming operations with the operations of U.S.-licensed geostationary orbit space stations within 6 degrees of the 95.2° W.L. orbital location. Non-conforming operation must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non-U.S.-licensed space stations within 6 degrees of 95.2° W.L. involving approved communications with U.S.-licensed earth stations. 6. Operations in the 18.3-19.3 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz frequency bands must complete coordination with U.S. Federal systems, in accordance with footnote US334 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR § 2.106, prior to being used. Operations in the 18.3-19.3 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands must be in accordance with any signed coordination agreement reached between Hughes and U.S. Federal operators. Two weeks prior to the start of any operations in the 18.3-19.3 GHz or 19.7-20.2 GHz bands, Hughes must provide contact information for a 24/7 point of contact for the resolution of any harmful interference to Jimmy Nguyen, Email: Jimmy.Nguyen@us.af.mil. 7. The power flux-density (PFD) at the Earth’s surface produced by the emissions from the EchoStar XXIV space station, in the 18.3-19.3 GHz, 19.7-20.2 GHz, and 40.0-42.0 GHz frequency bands (space-to Earth), must not exceed the applicable power flux-density limits contained in Sections 25.138(a)(6), 25.140(a)(3)(iii), and 25.208, and in Article 21 of the ITU Radio Regulations. 8. Operations of the EchoStar XXIV space station in the 18.8-19.3 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 28.6-29.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands must not cause harmful interference to, or claim interference protection from, primary NGSO FSS systems licensed in the United States. Hughes must terminate operations immediately upon notification of harmful interference. 1. No later than sixty days before the scheduled initial launch of each NGSO FSS satellite system licensed in the United States to operate in the 18.8-19.3 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 28.6-29.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands, Hughes must either: (1) notify the Commission in writing when an agreement has been reached with the NGSO satellite system operator, or (2) seek and obtain the Commission’s approval of a modification of this license including detailed technical demonstrations of how Hughes will protect the NGSO FSS satellite system. If neither condition is met, Hughes must cease operations in the 18.8-19.3 Page 2 of 5

SAT-LOA-20 170621-00092; SAT-AMD-20 170908-00128; SAT-MOD-20 190212-00011 GHz and 28.6-29.1 0Hz frequency bands pursuant to this license until such time as compliance is demonstrated.2 With respect to any NOSO FSS system licensed or granted market access in the United States that conm~iences operations prior to the scheduled launch of EchoStar XXIV, Hughes must comply with either (1) or (2) above and must not commence operations in the 18.8-19.3 0Hz and 28.6-29.1 0Hz frequency bands pursuant to this license until such time as compliance is demonstrated. 9. Operations of the EchoStar XXIV space station in the 27.5-28.35 0Hz (Earth-to-space) frequency band are secondary with respect to Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) operations, except for FSS operations associated with earth stations authorized pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136 and will comply with any determinations set forth in the Spectrum Frontiers Proceeding (ON Docket 14-177). 10. The 29.25-29.5 0Hz band is designated for uplinks for FSS systems using geostationary satellites and for feeder uplinks for Mobile Satellite Systems using non-geostationary orbit satellites on a co-primary basis. Communications between U.S.-licensed earth stations and the EchoStar XXIV space station in the 29.3- 29.5 0Hz band must comply with Section 25.258 of the Commission’s rules. 47 CFR § 25.258. 11. In accordance with footnote US211 to 47 CFR § 2.106, Hughes is urged to take all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference from its operations in the 40.0-42.0 0Hz band. 12. Operations of the EchoStar XXIV space station in the 40.0-40.5 0Hz frequency band must be successfully coordinated with Federal Space Research Service (SRS) facilities, pursuant to Recommendation ITU-R SA.1396, “Protection Criteria for the Space Research Service in the 37-38 GHz and 40.0-40.5 0Hz Bands.” 13. Operations in the 47.2-48.2 0Hz band must provide interference protection to the fixed and mobile services, except as authorized pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136. 14. Any future grant of earth station licenses for operations with the EchoStar XXIV space station will be subject to the following condition, unless the condition is satisfied prior to such license grant: in the 48.94-49.04 0Hz band, operations must be coordinated with radio astronomy stations operating on a co primary basis in this band. 47 CFR § 2.106, footnote US342. 15. Any future grant of earth station licenses for operations with the EchoStar XXIV space station will be subject to the following condition: Hughes’s earth station emissions into the 50.2-50.4 0Hz band must comport with the limits contained in ITU-R Resolution 750 (REV. WRC-15) andJor footnote US 156 to Section 2.106 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §2.106, footnote US 156, including any future revisions of footnote US 156 to Section 2.106. Such revisions may be introduced either because of modifications that may be approved by WRC-19 to Resolution 750, or as a result of a Commission rulemaking 2 O3b Limited supports addition of this condition in order to ensure that NGSO systems, such as 03b’s system, are protected in the 18.8-19.3 GHz and 28.6-29.1 0Hz bands, which are allocated to NGSO systems on a primary basis in the United States. See generally, Comments of O3b Limited (filed Apr. 15, 2019). Hughes opposes this condition. See Letter from Jennifer A. Manner, Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Hughes Network Systems, LLC, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, dated May 3, 2019 (May 2019 Ex Parte). First, we will consider Hughes’ May 2019 Ex Parte, even though it was late-filed pursuant to Section 25.154(c) (responses must be filed within 10 days of the petitions to deny or comments). 47 CFR § 25.154(c). Second, we decline Hughes’ request to omit this condition from the EchoStar XXIV grant because this condition helps to ensure that GSO systems, which are secondary in these bands, protect the primary NGSO systems. This condition has also been placed on a prior grant of a GSO satellite seeking authority to operate in the 18.8-19.3 0Hz and 28.6- 29.1 GHz bands. See Intelsat License LLC, IBFS File Nos.

Hughes’ request for authority to use the 50.4-5 1.4 GHz band for gateway uplinks is granted, subject to the limitations imposed by Section 25.136 of the Commission’s rules, as modified by the Spectrum Frontiers Fifth Report and Order.3 17. Hughes’ request for waiver of 47 CFR § 25.202(a)(1), concerning the availability of the 50.4-5 1.4 GHz band for FSS, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT. This band is allocated in the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations to the FSS, but at the time Hughes filed its application the 50.4-51.4 GHz band was not listed among the available frequencies for FSS in Section 25.202(a)(1) of the rules. The Commission subsequently removed the list of frequencies in Section 25.202(a)(1) as unnecessary, thereby eliminating this barrier against applying for FSS use of the frequencies in the 50.4-51.4 GHz band. 18. Prior to commencing operations with the EchoStar XXIV space station, Hughes must file with the Commission the information required by Section 25.172 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 25.172. 19. Hughes request for a waiver of Section 25.114(c)(4)(vii) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 25.1 14(c)(4)(vii), IS GRANTED. In response to a request from the Commission for additional information regarding its application, Hughes provided a revised isoline diagram and amended its Schedule S accordingly. We find that this showing, along with the other technical information provided with its application, is sufficient to support a waiver. 20. Hughes request for a waiver of footnote NG165 Section 2.106 of the Commission’s Rules IS DISMISSED as MOOT. GSO operations in this band are permitted on a secondary basis. 47 CFR § 2.106. 21. Hughes request for a waiver of Section 25.156(d)(5) of the Commission rules, 47 CFR § 25.156(d)(5), IS DISMISSED as MOOT. Section 25.156(d)(5) stated that in bands where the Commission has not adopted frequency-band specific service rules it will not consider applications for GSO-like operation after it has granted an application for NGSO-like operation in the same band, and vice versa, unless and until the Commission establishes NGSO/GSO sharing criteria for that frequency band. However, the Commission recently eliminated Section 25.156(d)(5) in a rulemaking4 and those rules are now in effect making a waiver of the rule unnecessary. 22. Hughes request for a waiver of the NGSO FSS Cut-off deadline for applications in the V-band IS DISMISSED as MOOT. By its own terms the application deadline of which Hughes requested a waiver applied only to NGSO FSS systems.5 Consequently the EchoStar XXIV space station, a GSO-like system, was not covered by the filing deadline making a waiver unnecessary. 23. Hughes’s request for a waiver of the application processing rules of Sections 25. 156(d)(3) and (4) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 25.156(d)(3)-(4), IS DISMISSED as MOOT. Section 25.156(d)(3) requires the Commission to consider applications covering multiple service bands as separate applications for each band. As all the frequency bands requested by Hughes are addressed in this grant, no waiver of Section 25.1 56(d)(3) is necessary. Section 25.1 56(d)(4) requires that applications for feeder-link ~ See generally, Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHzfor Mobile Radio Services et. al., Fifth Report and Order, FCC 19-30, paras. 8-12 (rel.

However, as an FSS system EchoStar XXIV by definition does not have feeder links6 making waiver of Section 25.156(d)(4) unnecessary. 24. Hughes must post a surety bond in satisfaction of 47 CFR §~ 25.165(a)(2) & (b) no later than April 19, 2018, and thereafter maintain on file a surety bond requiring payment in the event of a default in an amount, at minimum, determined according to the formula set forth in 47 CFR § 25.165(a)(2); and Hughes must launch the space station, position it in its assigned orbital location, and operate it in accordance with the station authorization no later than March 20,2023,47 CFR § 25.164(a). This authorization will be null and void automatically, without further Commission action if Hughes fails to comply with any of these requirements. Failure to comply with the milestone requirement of 47 CFR § 25.164(a) will also result in forfeiture of Hughes’s surety bond. By April 3, 2023, Hughes must either demonstrate compliance with its milestone requirement or notify the Commission in writing that the requirement was not met. 47 CFR § 25.164(f). 25. The license term for the EchoStar XXIV space station is 15 years and will begin on the date that Hughes certifies to the Commission that EchoStar XXIV has been successfully placed into orbit and its operations fully conform to the terms and conditions of this authorization. Hughes is directed to file its certification of commencement of operation with the Commission within five business days of EchoStar XXIV being placed into operation at the 95.2° W.L. orbital location. 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. This action is taken pursuant to Section 0.26 1 of the Commission’s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.26 1, and is effective upon release. Station licenses are subject to the conditions specified in Section 309(h) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 309(h).
