                   Fixed Service networks have a primary allocation in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band, an ESAA must not produce
                   ground-level power flux density (pfd) in such territory in excess of the following values unless the foreign
                   administration has imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: -132 + 0.5 x THETA dB(W/(m”2
                   MHz)) for THETA <= 40° ; -112 dB(W/(mt’2 MHz)) for 40° <THETA <= 90°. Where: THETA is the angle of
                   arrival of the radio-frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate to the
                   pfd and angles of arrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions.

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      conditions:
    90399     The licensee shall, at all times, take all necessary measures to ensure that operation of this (these) authorized
            ---




              earth station(s) 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. Physical 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 OFT 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.
    90405   ---   Operations with PERMITTED LIST satellite must comply with §25.212 levels and operations above this levels
                  must coordinate with satellite operators prior to operations.

   900407   ---   The Permitted Space Station List (Permitted List) is a list of all geostationary space stations providing
                  fixed-satellite service pursuant to a Commission license or grant of U.S. market access. The Permitted List
                  currently includes the following frequency bands per §25.103 and §25.1 15(k)(l):

                     3 600-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth)

    B) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the additional conditions specified below:
              This authorization is issued on the grantee’s representation that the statements contained in the application are
              true and that the undertakings described will be carried out in good faith.

              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 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 regulatees 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.
