To Whom It May Concern:

This letter certifies that SES Americom, Inc. ("SES Americom") is aware that PetroCom
License Corporation, ("PetroCom"), is seeking FCC authorization to operate on the SES
Americom satellite AMC—2 at 85° degrees W.L. licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC"), using C—band transmit/receive antennas that are not strictly
compliant with the FCC rules for off—axis sidelobe gain‘.

The C—band terminal uses the Prodelin antenna with an aperture of 2.4 meter. SES—
Americom understands that this antenna generally exhibits non—compliance performance
in the region from 1.0° to 1.6° degrees off axis from the maximum gain. The antenna
complies at 1.6 degrees and beyond with the requirements of Section 25.209 of the FCC‘s
rules.

In order to prevent potential unacceptable interference from antenna misalignment,
PetroCom will align the 2.4 meters antenna to less than or equal to 0.5 degrees offset in
the azimuth direction of the intended satellite. In addition, PetroCom will reduce the
transmitter power density level into the antenna flange to less than or equal to —12
dBW/4kHz limited to digital carrier transmissions.

SES Americom acknowledges that the use of the Prodelin 2.4m antenna by PetroCom,
installed and operated in accordance with the above conditions, should not cause
unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites in accordance with FCC‘s 2—degree
spacing policy and that PetroCom will accept interference from adjacent satellites to the
degree to which harmful interference would not be expected to be caused to an earth
station employing an antenna conforming to the reference patterns defined in Section
25.209 of FCC rules. If the use of this antenna should cause interference into other
systems, PetroCom has agreed that it will terminate transmissions immediately upon
notice from the affected parties.

        Acceptance by Loral:

        Loral agrees to the use of the Prodelin antenna with an aperture of 2.4 meter, and the
        power density level into the antenna flange as stated in this letter, with respect to SES
        Americom satellite transponders that are within +/— 6 degrees orbital spacing from AMC—
        2 at 85°WL.
