G) Antenna Structure marking and lighting requirements:
   None unless otherwise specified under Special and General Provisions

H) Special and General Provisions

     A) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general conditions:

              1010        Applicable to all receiving frequency bands. Emission designator indicates the maximum bandwidth of received signal
                          at associated station(s). Maximum EIRP and maximum EIRP density are not applicable to receive operations.

              1900        Applicable to all transmitting frequency bands. Authority is granted to transmit any number of RF carriers with the
                          specified parameters on any discrete frequencies within associated band in accordance with the other terms and
                          conditions of this authorization, subject to any additional limitations that may be required to avoid unacceptable levels
                          of inter-satellite interference.

              2916        Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC-specified safety
                          guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector.
                          Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station's power flux
                          density levels exceed the specified guidelines.

              2938        Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the following
                          information: (1) name of the licensee, (2) file number of the application, (3) call sign of the antenna, (4) date of the
                          license, (5) certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, (6) certification that each antenna facility has
                          been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209, and (7) certification 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.

              3219        All existing transmitting facilities, operations and devices regulated by the Commission must be in compliance with the
                          Commission's radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines, pursuant to Section 1.1307(b)(1) through (b)(3) of the
                          Commission's rules, or if not in compliance, file an Environmental Assessment (EA) as specified in Section 1.1311.
                          See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).

              5208        The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of humans
                          to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 wherever
                          such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled
                          exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be
                          accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing. Requirements for restrictions can be
                          determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling, or by field measurements. The FCC's OET Bulletin 65
                          (available on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for
                          ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers.

          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 does not meet each required construction
          deadline by the required date of completion unless, before such date(s), a specific application is timely filed
          to request an extension of the construction deadline(s), supported with good cause why that failure to
          construct 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.
