(DISCO II) 5011 The Licensee(s) shall maintain on file with the Commission a current list or plan of the precise frequencies in use at the station, specifying for each frequency the RF center frequency, polarization, emission designator, nominal EIRP (in dBW) and maximum EIRP density (in dbW/4kHz). This list or plan may be submitted either on a station-by-station basis or on a system-wide basis and shall be updated within seven (7) days of any changes in frequency usage at this station. The Licensee(s) need not notify the Commission of temporary usage of frequencies for periods of less than seven (7) days. However, the Licensee(s) shall maintain accurate station records of the times and particulars of such temporary frequency usage. 5012 The authority granted here is limited to the operation of the facilities described above and does not include any authority to install and operate channelizing equipment or any other authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to establish channels of communications. 5013 In the event of the failure of a satellite with which operations are authorized in Section D of this license, operations are authorized in conjunction with the authorized INTELSAT satellite in the affected Ocean Region that provides the services authorized herein in order to maintain the continuity of commercial service; provided that the licensee(s) immediately notify the Commission of the nature of this emergency and its expected duration; and provided that the operational limits of elevation angle and azimuth range specified in Section C of this license are not exceeded. In the event that such emergency operations require emissions not specified in Section B of this license, such emissions may be utilized provided that the EIRP's of such emissions do not exceed the limits set forth in this license. 5014 With respect to potential co-channel interference to or from terrestrial microwave radio stations, the transmit and receive frequency bands listed in this license have been cleared for transmissions to and from satellites located in the geostationary or non-geostationary orbit for the emissions designated in Section B of this license. 5015 Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the following information: name of the licensee, file number of the application, call sign of the antenna, date of the license and certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, that each antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209 and that the station is operational including the date of commencement of service and will remain operational during the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation.

This authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of marking or lighting of the antenna system should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to install such marking or lighting as the Commission may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 303(q). Neither this authorization nor the right granted by this authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to any person, firm, company or corporation without the written consent of the Commission. This authorization is subject to the right of use or control by the government of the United States conferred by Section 706 of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 706. Operation of this station is governed by Part 25 of the Commission's Rules. 47 C.F.R. Part 25. This authorization shall not vest in the licensee any right to operate this station nor any right in the use of the designated frequencies beyond the term of this license, nor in any other manner than authorized herein. This authorization is issued on the grantee's representation that the station is in compliance with environmental requirements set forth in Section 1.1307 of the Commission's Rules. 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307. This authorization is issued on the grantee's representation that the station is in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as set forth in Section 17.4 of the Commission's Rules. 47 C.F.R.§ 17.4. The following condition applies when this authorization permits construction of or modifies the construction permit of a radio station. This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station is not ready for operation by the required date of completion of construction unless an application for modification of construction permit for additional time to complete construction is filed by that date, together with a showing that failure to complete construction by the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee. Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to collect annual regulatory fees from regulates is contained in Public Law 103-66, "The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993". These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission's enforcement, public service, international and policy and rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. Page 5
