 Subject: Engineering Certification of SES Americom, Inc. for the AMC—1 Satellite

 To whom it may concem,

This letter confirms that SES is aware that Global Eagle Entertainment, Inc. (‘GEE"), licensed by the
 Federal Communications Commission (°FCC®) as Row 44, Inc., is seeking FCC authority to operate
an additional transmitreceive remote terminal in conjunction with its blanket authorization to operate
technically identical Ku—band Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft (‘ESAA") pursuant to ITU RR 5.504A and
 Section 25.227 of the Commission‘s rules (Call Sign E080100). Row 44 seeks authority for GEE‘s
 new ESAA terminals to communicate with the AMC—1 satellite at 129.15° W.L., under the current
 ESAA rules, including Section 25.227.

 Based upon the contents of the applications (we understand that Row 44 will seek both an
experimental license and the modification ofits ESAA license) and the representations made to SES
 by GEE concerning how it will operate on AMC—1 according to its letter dated September 28, 2016:

     *   SES certifies that it has completed coordination as required under the FCC‘s rules and that
         the power density levels specified by GEE are consistent with any existing coordination
         agreements to which SES is a party with adjacentsatelite operators within +/— 6 degrees of
         orbital separation from AMC—1.

     *   If the FCC authorizes the operations proposed by GEE, SES will include the power density
         levels specified by GEE in all futuresatellite network coordination with other operators of
         satellites adjacent to AMC—1.

                              Re: Engineering Certification of Intelsat for IS—2%e Satellite

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter confirms that Intelsat is aware that Global Eagle Entertainment, Inc. ("GEE") is planning to seek a
modification to its blanket authorization (the "Modification Application") from the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") to operate two types of Ku band transmit/receive earth stations aboard aircraft
("ESAAs"), Call Sign E080100. Among other changes, the Modification Application will seek authority for
GEE‘s ESAA terminals to communicate with the IS—29e satellite at 50° WL. under the current ESAA rules
including Section 25.227.

Based upon the representations made to Intelsat by GEE concerning the contents of its Modification
Application:

    *    INTELSAT acknowledges that the proposed operation of the GEE ESAA terminals has the potential to
         create harmful interference to satellite networks adjacent to IS—29%e that may be unacceptable.

    *    Intelsat certifies that the proposed use of the ESAA transmit/receive terminals at the power density
         levels specified by GEE are consistent with existing coordination agreements to which INTELSAT is a
         party with all adjacent satellite operators within +/— 6 degrees of orbital separation from IS—29%e.

    *    If the FCC authorizes the operations proposed by GEE, Intelsat will include the power density levels
         specified by GEE in all future satellite network coordination with other operators of satellites
         adjacent to IS—29%e.

Re: Engineering Certification with respect to E115WB at 114.9° W.L. (Ku4 Beam
Coverage)

To Whom It May Concern:

         This letter certifies that Satélites Mexicanos S.A. de CV dba Eutelsat Americas
("EAS") understands that Global Eagle Entertainment, Inc. ("GEE") is seeking to modify
its existing Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") blanket authorization (Call
Sign EO80100) for operation of Ku—band Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft ("ESAA") as an
application of the fixed—satellite service ("FSS") and consistent with ITU RR 5.504A.
GEE is seeking to modify its FCC authorization to add satellites as additional points of
communication, including the E115WB satellite at114.9° West Longitude and under Ku4
Beam coverage.

         EAS further understands that GEE‘s primary transmit/receive antenna is a
steerable antenna manufactured by TECOM designed to provide bi—directional broadband
services to aircraft in flight. The antenna is identified by the model number Ku—Stream
1000. It supports reception and transmission in the 11.70—12.2 GHz /14.05—14.47 GHz
bands covered by GEE‘s existing FCC License. The antenna is an independent linear
polarized array equivalent to a 0.62 meter parabolic antenna with a transmit gain of 28.8
dBi at 14.25 GHz and a receive gain of 31.1 dBi at 11.75 GHz. The antenna operates
under gimbaled motor control to orient the antenna in azimuth, elevation and polarization
and achieves a + 0.2 degree pointing accuracy during active tracking of the intended
satellite. The antenna complies with Section 25.209 of the FCC‘s Rules with respect to
the off—axis co—polarization gain in the plane of the geostationarysatellite orbit and to the
off—axis cross polarization gain using the parameters of GEE‘s existing FCC license,
under which it will continue to operate for all flights within U.S. airspace. Outside the
continental United States, GEE will operate at higher skew angles to maximi

operating in conformity with European Telecommunications Standards Institute
European Standard (EN) 302 186, Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES);
Harmonized EN for satellite mobile Aircraft Earth Stations (AESs) operating in the
11/12/14 GHz frequency bands covering essential requirements underarticle 3.2 of the
Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive.

        The actual skew angle is constantly monitored by the antenna control system, and
the aircraft transmitter will be muted in the event that a skew angle of £+35° is exceeded.
When communicating with E115WB, GEE will operate its antenna within the 14.05—
14.47 GHz FSS uplink band and the 11.7—12.2 GHz FSS downlink band transmitting with
a maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of 38.8 dBW up to a 512 ksps
carrier. GEE will maintain the return uplink EIRP level and the off—axis EIRP spectral
density, by tight control of system operation that includes:

       1)        Maintaining pointing error to be < 0.2 degrees, relative to the intended
                 satellite;
       2)        Fault detection that terminates transmissions when out of tolerance
                 conditions (including the antenna pointing error) are detected; and
       3)        Continuous monitoring/oversight by ground network operations center
                 (NOC).

        EAS acknowledges that the use of the above referenced transmit/receive antenna
by GEE has the potential to receive harmful interference from adjacent satellite networks
that may be unacceptable. The EIRP levels set forth above for the proposed system,
installed and operated in accordance with the above conditions, are within the levels
coordinated with the adjacent satellite operators and should not cause unacceptable
interference into adjacent satellites operating in accordance with FCC‘s two—degree
spacing policy. If the FCC authorizes the operations proposed by GEE in its application,
EAS will include the antenna, as described above, in all future satellite network
coordinations with other adjacent satellite operators. GEE shall comply with all such
coordination agreements reached by the satellite operators.

       In order to prevent unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites, EAS has
been informed, and GEE acknowledges, that the antennas will be installed and operated
in accordance with the above conditions and the terms of its FCC License. In particular,
the proposed antenna will operate in compliance with the Commission‘s two—degree
spacing requirements, including the pointing accuracy and shutdown requirements of
Section 25.227(a) of the Commission‘s Rules that apply to ESAA. See 47 C.ER.
§25.227(a).

        Moreover, GEE agrees that it will accept interference from transmissions to
adjacent satellites in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band to the degree to which harmful interference
would not be expected to be caused to an earth station employing an antenna conforming
in all respects to the reference patterns defined in Section 25.209 of the FCC‘s rules. If
the use of this antenna should cause unacceptable interference into other systems in this
band, GEE has agreed that it will terminate transmissions immediately upon notice from
the affected parties.

        Based on GEE‘s commitment to the operating conditions stated above, satellites
operating at two—degree spacing or more should not experience unacceptable interference
as a result of the modification of GEE‘s Ku—band ESAA blanket FCC License as outlined
here to include E115WB at 114.9° W.L. as an additional point of communication.

                            A Coordination Agreement
               Between the National Science Foundation ("NSF") and
                    Row 44 Inc. ("Row44") for Operation of the
                    Row 44 AMSS and Radio Astronomy Sites
                        Jointly Sharing the 14.0—14.5 GHz Band

    Row 44 is applying for a license to operate an aeronautical mobile satellite service
    (AMSS) over North America including the Continental United States (CONUS), Canada
    and Mexico in the 14.0—14.5 GHz Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) band. The AMSS
    terminals will be installed aboard commercial aircraft and operate with transponders in
    the Geostationary Satellite Orbit (GSO) arc. This coordination agreement and the pending
    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license comply with FCC Part 25 rules and
    the recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as a product
    of the World Radiocommunication Conference WRC—03.

    1.8 Overview
[           1.1 The band 14.47—14.5 GHz is used by the radio astronomy servicein
               accordance with footnotes US342 to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations
           1.2 The band 14.0—14.5 GHz has been allocated to mobile satellite service
               including the aeronautical mobile satellite service (AMSS) on a secondary
               basis with the provision that government services including the radio
               astronomy service in the 14.47—14.50 GHz band be protected from
               interference from the AMSS service.
           1.3 Row 44 applied and was granted a special temporary authority (STA) on
               December 11, 2007 for fixed station testing. Row 44 plans to submit a license
               application to the FCC for AMSS operation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band to
               allow service aboard commercial aircraft flying in North America.
           1.4 The AMSS service will allow aircraft earth stations (AES) to transmit and
               receive information from a ground earth station (GES) via a transponder in the
               Geostationary Satellite Orbit (GSO) arc under the control of a ground—based
               network operation center (NOC). The terrestrial network will utilize Hughes
               Network Systems HX150 licensed ground terminals with Call Signs E940460
               and EO0O016.
           1.5 This Coordination Agreement ensures that the Row 44 AMSS system
               complies with both Part 25 FCC requirements and ITU recommendations for
               radio astronomy protection.
           1.6 Negotiation and signatures of this agreement are to be executed by Row 44
               and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Unit of the NSF for the Radio
               Astronomy sites identified in Section 2.1.
