                                               Application to Add Express AM44 to Call Sign E040267
                                                                                           Exhibit A

                             EXHIBIT A – APPLICATION SUMMARY

1.0 - Description of Application

       The instant modification application seeks to add the Express AM44 (“AM44”) as a point
of communication to Call Sign E040267. Specifically, NewCom International, Inc (“NewCom”)
seeks to communicate with the AM44 using an already authorized Andrew Corp. 7.3 meter
antenna (“7.3a”). NewCom also seeks authority to operate the 7.3a in extended C-band
frequencies between 3650-3700 MHz and 6425-6525 MHz.

        The AM44 is a Russian licensed satellite positioned at 11.0 degrees west longitude in the
geostationary arc. The AM44 relieves the Express 3A (“3A”) at this orbital position, and has
been coordinated and approved as a replacement satellite by the Russian administration and
International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”). Pursuant to Section 23.137 of the
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.137, the underlying application and complementary
exhibits seeking to add the AM44 as a point of communication to Call Sign E040267
demonstrate that the satellite complies with all applicable Commission requirements and service
rules for non-U.S. licensed satellite systems.

         In addition to adding the AM44 as a point of communication, NewCom seeks authority to
transmit earth-to-space to the satellite in the extended C-band from 6425-6525 MHz. Fixed
satellite service operations are co-primary in this band, and NewCom has conducted a frequency
coordination that demonstrates no other licensed entity will be affected by the proposed
operations.1 For the purpose of using these extended C-band frequencies, NewCom will
communicate exclusively with the AM44 at 11.0 degrees west longitude. NewCom also seeks
authority to receive space-to-earth transmissions from the AM44 in the extended C-band from
3650-3700 MHz. NewCom understands that fixed satellite service downlink operations in the
3650-3700 MHz band are permitted only on a secondary basis. NewCom agrees to accept
interference from higher priority users in this band.

        Beyond the modifications expressly stated in the instant application and complementary
exhibits, NewCom does not seek to modify any technical parameters related to existing antennas
operating under Call Sign E040267.
