This authorization is granted according to the technical parameters specified in these applications and is subject to the conditions below. 1. Any actions taken as a result of these STAs are solely at the applicant‘s own risk. These STAs 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. These STAs expire after 180 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.

Renewal of Special Temporary Authority to Operate Fifteen Terrestrial Repeaters at 2000 Watts File No. SAT—STA—20080131—00034 Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s Rules,‘ Sirius XM Radio Inc. ("Sirius") hereby requests renewal of the above—referenced Special Temporary Authority ("STA") granted in FCC File No. SAT—STA—20080131—00034, so the repeaters covered by that STA may continue to operate at the parameters authorized therein. Absent renewal, this STA is scheduled to expire on October 27, 2008. Sirius requests that the Commission renew this STA for another 180 days or until the Commission issues a blanket license for satellite radio terrestrial repeaters, whichever comes first. Because this request is timely, pursuant to Section 1.62 of the Rules, this STA will continue in effect without further action by the Commission until such time as the Commission makes a final determination with respect to this request." Sirius currently operates these repeaters in their licensed frequency band (2320—2332.5 MHz) pursuant to the STA granted by the International Bureau on April 29, 2008. Sirius has not changed technical parameters for these repeaters since the grant of the STA and is not herein requesting modification of any of those parameters. Renewing this STA will serve the public interest by allowing Sirius to continue to provide a clear signal to its subscribers in the areas served by these repeaters. As disclosed in the application for this STA, Sirius has been operating the repeaters 1 See 47 C.F. R. § 25.120. See 47 CFR. § 1.62.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch . October 20, 2008 oeemnoncincn nnnan, Page 2 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 Commission 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 radioprogramming over these repeaters by Sirius subscribers across the country. Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Very truly yours, ames S.
