ATTACHMENT TO GRANT Empresa Argentina de Soluciones Satelitales S.A. IBFS File No. SAT—PPL—20160304—00024 IBFS File No(s): SAT—PPL—20160304—00024 GR A NTE D — With Conditions Licensee/Grantee: Empresa Argentina de Soluciones Satelitales S.A. Call Sign: $2956 Satellite Name: ARSAT—2 Orbital Location: 81.0° W.L. International Bureau (required station— (+/— 0.05 degrees) Satellite Division keeping tolerance) Administration: Argentina Nature of Service: Fixed—Satellite Service Scope of Grant: Grant of U.S. Market Access, including the addition of ARSAT—2 to the Permitted Space Station List in order to provide FSS to the United States. Each earth station with "ALSAT" designated as a point of communication is granted authority to provide FSS to, from, or within the United States by accessing the ARSAT—2 satellite. Service Area(s): See Item S$6 of Schedule S Frequencies: 3700—4200 MHz (space—to—Earth) 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) 5925—6425 MHz (Earth—to—space) 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space) 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. This grant does not include provision of any Direct—to—Home service, Direct Broadcast Satellite service, or Digital Audio Service to, from, or within the United States. Communications between ALSAT—designated routine earth stations and the ARSAT—2 satellite must be in compliance with coordination agreements reached between Argentina and other Administrations. ARSAT—2 must be maintained with an east/west longitudinal station—keeping tolerance of +.05 degrees of the 81° W.L. orbital location. The operations of ARSAT—2 and associated earth stations must comport with: (i) the applicable uplink limits in Sections 25.211, 25.212, 25.218, 25.221, 25.222, 25.226, and/or 25.227 of the Commission‘s rules in the 5925—6425 MHz and 14.0—14.5 GHz frequency bands; and (ii) the applicable downlink limits in Section 25.212 of the Commission‘s rules in the 3700—4200 MHz and 11.7—12.2 GHz frequency bands. These limits cannot be exceeded unless Empresa Argentina coordinates any non—conforming operation with the operations of U.S.—licensed GSO space stations within 6 degrees of 81.0° W.L. Non—conforming operation must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non—U.S.—licensed space stations within 6 degrees of 81.0° W.L. involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed earth stations. Empresa Argentina‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.210(a)(3), 47 CFR § 25.210(a)(3), of the Commission‘s rules is granted as conditioned. Section 25.210(a)(3) requires that all space stations in the Page 1 of 2

ATTACHMENT TO GRANT Empresa Argentina de Soluciones Satelitales S.A. IBFS File No. SAT—PPL—20160304—00024 FSS used for domestic service in the C—band be capable of switching polarity upon ground command. This provision is required to permit U.S—licensed satellites the flexibility to be assigned to different orbital positons and to mitigate potential interference between adjacent FSS systems transmitting analog TV signals. Empresa Argentina states that the transmission polarization of the C—band payload of the ARSAT—2 satellite cannot be reversed from the ground, and that this design reduces the technical risk by avoiding a single point of failure in each transponder‘s polarization, reduces the mass and cost of the satellite, and results in better performance. Additionally, Empresa Argentina states that it has completed coordination with operators of adjacent satellites and the coordination agreements will account for the fixed polarization of ARSAT—2‘s C—band transmissions. Accordingly, we grant market access on the condition that the operation of ARSAT—2 is consistent with such adjacent operator arrangements and that for future two—degree compliant operators ARSAT—2 satellite must not cause more interference to any system authorized to provide services to, from, or within the United States that is two—degree spacing compliant than would be caused if the ARSAT—2 satellite complied with Section 25.210(a)(3). Further, if no adjacent operator arrangement exists, ARSAT—2 must not claim protection against interference to its operations caused by any system authorized to provide services to, from, or within the United States that is two—degree spacing compliant if such interference results from failure of the ARSAT—2 to comply with Section 25.210(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 CFR § 25.210(a)(3). This grant of market access will terminate in the event that the ARSAT—2 space station is relocated from the 81° W.L. orbital location or ceases to operate. In either case, ARSAT—2 will be removed from the _ Permitted Space Station List. If Empresea Argentina seeks to provide service to the United States using another space station or seeks to operate ARSAT—2 from another orbital location, it must file a new petition for market access to have the station placed on the Permitted List. 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 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 CFR § 0.261, 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).
