ANNEX A

Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 International Bureau July 26, 2010 Lic. Héctor Olavarria Tapia Director General de Politica de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusion Subsecretaria de Comunicaciones Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes Av. Xola y Universidad Centro Nacional SCT, Cuerpo "C" piso 1 Narvarte, 03020 Mexico, Distrito Federal Mexico Mr. Reynaldo Gonzélez Bustamante Director General de Regulacion "B" Unidad de Prospectiva y Regulacion Comision Federal de Telecomunicaciones Bosque de Radiatas 44, piso 3 Bosques de las Lomas, 05120 Mexico, Distrito Federal Mexico Re: Operations of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 Space Stations Dear Mr. Olavarria and Mr. Gonzdlez: This letter is to confirm the informal understandings of the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT), represented by the Subsecretaria de Comunicaciones and the Comision Federal de Telecomunicaciones, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), concerning certain technical issues involved in the operation of two Broadcasting Satellite Service (BSS) satellites known as EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8. The operations are pursuant to an agreement between EchoStar Corporation (EchoStar) and SES Latin America, S.A. and SES S.A. (collectively, "SES"). The Transaction between EchoStar and SES Under an arrangement between EchoStar and SES, a prior version of which was discussed in an exchange of letters between our Administrations, dated November 16 and 21, 2005, EchoStar agreed to move the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites to the 77° W.L. orbital location,‘ subject to necessary governmental approvals, pending the launch ‘ The term "77° W.L. orbital location"refers to the orbital position for the relevant Mexican frequency assignment under the ITU Region 2 Plan for BSS and Feeder Link Assignments, as contained in Appendix 30/30A of the Radio Regulations, and to any specific orbital location within the cluster defined by such assignment.

and placement of a new satellite (QuetzSat 1) at the 77° W.L. orbital location. The agreement provides that the Service Term for EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 at the 77° W.L. orbital location will run from the date that EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 begin service at the 77° W.L. orbital location (the "in—service" date) until the earliest of: (1) the End—of—Life of either EchoStar 1 or EchoStar 8; (2) the date that either satellite fails; (3) the in—service date of QuetzSat 1 at the 77° W.L. orbital location; (4) the date that EchoStar removes either EchoStar 1 or EchoStar 8 from the 77° W.L. orbital location to replace capacity of its fleet lost due to catastrophic failure in the fleet; or (5) upon certain events related to future operations of QuetzSat 1. If the agreement is terminated as to any one of the satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location (EchoStar 4, EchoStar 1, and EchoStar 8), the terms of the agreement otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and conditions as to the remaining in—service satellite(s). The agreement contemplates that EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 will operate at the 77° W.L. orbital location underthe direction and control of SES/QuetzSat." EchoStar will perform telemetry, tracking, and control functions under the direction and control of SES/QuetzSat for the entire Service Term of the two satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location. On February 2, 2005, SCT provided QuetzSat with a concession to develop and operate a BSS/FSS space station at the 77° W.L. orbital location (the "Concession"). EchoStar has filed with the FCC requests for authorization to transfer control of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites to Mexico (the "Full Authorizations"). EchoStar has also filed, and the FCC granted, a request to drift the EchoStar 1 space station from the 148° W.L. orbital location to the 77.15° W.L. orbital location, and a request to drift the EchoStar 8 space station from the 110° W.L. orbital location to the 77° W.L. orbital location. In addition, EchoStar filed, and the FCC granted, special temporary authorities for EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 to operate under U.S. authority at the 77.15° W.L. and 77° W.L. and orbital locations, respectively. Informal Understandings between SCT and the FCC on certain technical issues concerning operation of EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8. It is my understanding that our two agencies have concurred on the following technical issues concerning the operation of EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8: 1. In the event the FCC approves the Full Authorizations, EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 spacecraft will operate at the 77° W.L. orbital location subject to Mexican authority. The Mexican Administration will have responsibility for compliance with the ITU Radio Regulations (including the requirement for licensing as specified in Article 18.1 of the Radio Regulations, and any applicable agreement— seeking procedures) in connection with operation of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location. * QuetzSat S. de RL. de C.V. (QuetzSat) is an affiliate of SES. The agreement indicates thatit is intended to bind SES and its affiliates.

2. Operation of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites at any location other than at the 77° W.L. orbital location will be subject to licensing by the FCC, including any operations as a result of equipment failure in the satellite that results in the inability to maintain the satellite within +0.1 degrees ofits assigned position at the 77° W.L. orbital location. 3. SCT will provide the FCC with at least four (4) days advance written notice (e— mail with confirmed receipt from the FCC‘s Chief, International Bureau, Satellite Division, will be considered sufficient) of any planned termination or expiration of the Concession under which the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites will operate. 4. Consistent with ITU Recommendation 8.1003—1, Environmental Protection of the Geostationary—Satellite Orbit, QuetzSat will be obliged under the Concession to maintain, barring catastrophic failure of satellite components, the capability to de— orbit the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 spacecraft, to the minimum perigee altitude specified in such recommendation. The informal understandings set forth in this letter concerning operationof the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites do not constitute a concurrence by the FCC or the United States Administration with any Mexican filings with the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau under Appendices 30 or 30A of the ITU Radio Regulations. It is my understanding that the FCC and SCT will, separately, and as part of the agreement—seeking process applicable under the ITU Radio Regulations, work in good faith to complete that process, insofar as necessary, in connection with the operation of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location. This exchange of letters does not constitute approval of the Full Authorizations, or any other pending application related to the operation of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location. These applications will require separate action by the FCC. In the event of the failure of either the EchoStar 1 or the EchoStar 8 satellite, and upon the exercise of EchoStar of its contractual rights to move either satellite, and in the event that there are any provisions in the Concession, or any provisions in the Mexican laws and regulations governing the telecommunications operations of EchoStar that would preclude or otherwise limit the exercise of EchoStar‘s contractual rights within the time frames specified in the EchoStar/SES agreement, the FCC would appreciate the opportunity to consult with SCTprior to any exercise of such licensing authority or application of such law or regulation by SCT. I would appreciate acknowledgement of these views and expression of any views which SCT may have concerning the matter discussed in this paragraph. Let me also express the FCC‘s willingness to discuss this matter further, in the event that it becomes necessary at a later date to do so. Lastly, all notices, inquiries, and correspondence from SCT concerning these matters should be directed to the Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau (phone number 202.418.0719) (e—mail: Robert.Nelson@fece.gov, with a copy to

Karl. Kensinger@fee.gov and Mark.Young@fee.gov), on the part of the FCC. The FCC will forward all notices, inquiries, and correspondence concerning these matters to Director General de Politica de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusion, Subsecretaria de Comunicaciones (phone number 52 55 5723 9356) (e—mail holavarr@sct.gob.mx) on the part of SCT, and to Director General de Regulacion "B," COFETEL (phone number 52 55 5015 4005) (e—mail rglezbus@cft.gob.mx) . Please let us know if these addresses subsequently change. If the foregoing corresponds to your understanding of the informal arrangements between our two agencies concerning the various technical issues involved in the operation of the EchoStar 1 and EchoStar 8 satellites at the 77° W.L. orbital location, please confirm by return letter.
