Dear Mr. Nelson,

This responds to your letter dated November 4, 2010. The actions requested in your letter are indicated
below .

Further to the information provided in our letter of October 4, 2010, the information on the mass of any
sealed pressurant that will be left in the Amazonas-2 satellite network at the end of life and the volume in
which that mass is contained is in the table below

                                                Mass in                           Volume
                                          Pressurant Tank (kg)                     (m^3)
                                                 1.258                              0.18


Consequently, the inaccurate information will be corrected regarding fuel venting that is contained in
our original application 1 to add Amazonas-2 to the Permitted List as follows:

“the E3000 design allows removing the chemical stored energy by depleting the chemical propulsion
tanks. Albeit the E3000 design does not allow to completely depressurize the pressurant tank, however,
the remaining pressure (30 bars) is far below the burst pressure (625 bars); in addition, the pressurant tank
is located inside the central cylinder, well protected from external impact. Further, the E3000 design
allows removal of the electrical stored energy by discharging the batteries and actuating the batteries
bypasses. EADS concludes that with such conditions the FCC concerns and objectives are met. Where the
mass of any sealed pressurant that will be left in the Amazonas-2 at the end of life and the volume in
which that mass is contained will be

                                                Mass in                           Volume
                                          Pressurant Tank (kg)                     (m^3)
                                                 1.258                              0.18


A copy of the amended venting information will be uploaded as a supplemental filing in IBS File No.
SAT-PPL-20090806-00081.

Finally, the mention of the frequencies 10.95-11.2 GHz and 13.75-14.0 GHz of the extended Ku-band is
only for the purpose of informing that these frequencies are also operated by this satellite. It was never
the intention to include these frequencies in the request to provide DTH. So, it is confirmed that the
frequencies 10.95-11.2 GHz and 13.75-14.0 GHz are not being requested to provide DTH.

We believe that this letter properly addresses the issues that were contained in your latest letter. Please let
me know if you need any additional information or clarification.

We look forward to receiving your response and to getting the authorizations that are still pending.

Respectfully submitted,

Don Jansky
Consultant to Hispamar/Hispasat
