                                        DECLARATION

       I, Thomas E. Sharon, declare under penalty of perjury that the following facts are true

and accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief:

       1.      I am the Chief Operating Officer of Spectrum Five, LLC.

       2.      I have over 30 years experience in the operation of space satellites.

       3.      On April 8, I obtained from the CelesTrak website

(http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements) NORAD‘s two—line element sets available for the

location of EchoStar 6 from September 2013 to the present. The data I obtained is presented in

table form in Exhibits A and in graphical form in Exhibit B

       4.      I also requested that SAT Corporation, pursuant to its contract with Spectrum

Five, provide me with the power profile of EchoStar 6 as received from a monitoring station in

Woodbine, MD. Attached as Exhibit C is a graphical depiction of the power profile measured at

that station on April 9, 2014. The graph depicts the entire KuDBS band (12.2—12.7 GHz). The

graph shows that a signal was received for a single 24 MHz band, corresponding to the use of 1

of the 32 transponders.

       5.      Attached as Exhibit D is a graphical depiction of the downlink beam coverage for

EchoStar 6‘s proposed operations as prepared by EchoStar. See Application Narrative, Exhibit 2

(Technical Analysis) at 2, File No. SAT—STA—20130220—00023 (Feb. 20, 2013). The effective

coverage pattern is within the royal blue line.
