                                   Attachment to Grant
           Application of Sirius XM Radio Inc. for Special Temporary Authority
                            IBFS File SAT—STA—20081002—00197

Special temporary authority (STA) is granted to Sirius XM Radio Inc. (Sirius XM), for a period
of 30 days, to continue to operate 11 previously authorized terrestrial repeaters for use in the
2320—2345 MHz frequency band, as set forth in its application. This authorization is granted
according to the technical parameters specified in Sirius XM‘s application and is subject to the
conditions below.
       1. Any actions taken as a result of this STA are solely at the applicant‘s own risk. This
STA shall not prejudice the outcome of the final rules adopted by the Commission in IB Docket
No. 95—91.
       2. SDARS terrestrial repeaters are restricted to the simultaneous retransmission of the
complete programming, and only that programming, transmitted by the SDARS licensee‘s
satellite(s) directly to the SDARS licensee‘s subscribers‘ receivers, and may not be used to
distribute any information not also transmitted to all subscribers‘ receivers.
        3. Coordination of the operations of the terrestrial repeaters shall be completed with all
affected Administrations prior to operation, in accordance with all applicable international
agreements including those with Canada and Mexico.
       4. The terrestrial repeaters shall comply with Part 17 of the Commission‘s rules —
Construction, Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures.
       5. The terrestrial repeaters shall comply with Part 1 of the Commission‘s rules, Subpart I
— Procedures Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, including the
guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as defined in Sections
1.1307(b) and 1.1310 of the Commission‘s rules.
       6. Any SDARS terrestrial repeater operating at a power level greater than 2—watt
average EIRP is required to attenuate its out—of—band emissions below the transmitter power P by
a factor of not less than 90 + 10 log (P) dB in a 1—megahertz bandwidth outside the 2320—2345
MHz band, where P is average transmitter output power in watts. Any SDARS terrestrial
repeater operating at a power level equal to or less than 2—watt average EIRP is required to
attenuate its out—of—band emissions below the transmitter power P by a factor of not less than 75
+ 10 log (P) dB in a 1—megahertz bandwidth outside the 2320—2345 MHz band, where P is
average transmitter output power in watts.
       7. This STA expires after 30 days, or on the date that permanent authority to operate the
covered repeater operations becomes effective, whichever occurs first.
       8. Sirius XM is granted 30 days from the date of the release of this authorization to
decline the authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within that period will constitute
formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.
        9.     This action is taken on delegated authority pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 0.261 and is
effective upon release. Petitions for reconsideration under 47 C.F.R. § 1.106 or applications for
review under 47 C.F.R. § 1. 115 may be filed within 30 days of the date of the Public Notice
announcing this action.                           File # SDT— STh— 20608 1002—d0197

        As disclosed in the application for this STA, Sirius has been operating the repeaters
authorized under this STA at the parameters requested therein and Sirius is not aware of any
incidents where these repeaters have caused any interference to other radio services.

         Sirius will continue to comply with the conditions the Commussion imposed in granting
the above—referenced STA, which provide sufficient protection to other radio services.
Therefore, prompt grant of Sirius‘s renewal request will allow for the continued reception of
satellite radio programming over these repeaters by Sirius subscribers across the country.

       Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.


                                             Very truly yours,
