            The undersignedzrtif=i           seven Telstar 5 transponders have been coordinated with

            carrier occupying 27 MHz bandwidth, with maximum satellite EIRP density of +12
            dBWI4 kHz at beam center. The seven Telstar 5 transponder numbers and the
            corresponding up and downlink frequencies at the centers of the digital carriers are as

           Transponders 6, 13, 14, 18, and 20 have 27 MHz bandwidth, same as that of the
           wideband digital carrier. Transponders 2 and 4 have a bandwidth of 54 MHz. Three
           options are shown in each of these two transponders, which correspond to placing a
           wideband digital carrier in the left half, center, and the right half of the transponder. Any

                     wideband digital carrier in the transponder will be operated in back-off mode to keep the
                     maximum EIRP density at +12 dBW/4KHz at beam center.
                     The adjacent satellite operators with whom coordination has been completed are:

                     PanAmSat - Galaxy XI (91" W), Galaxy IIIR (95" W), and Galaxy IVR (99" W)
                     SES Arnericom - AMC-4 (10 1" W), AMC- 1 (1 03" W)

                     In addition, coordination with Telstar 6 (93" W) has been completed.

                     In the future, Loral Skynet will ensure that the continued operation of these wideband
                     digital carriers is coordinated with the satellites at 2 , 4 , and 6-degree spacings.

The undersigned certifies that seven Telstar 5 transponders have been coordinated.&th                           '


the adjacent satellite operators, within +/- 6", to operate with a saturated wideband digital
carrier occupying 27 MHz bandwidth, with maximum satellite EIRP density of +12
dBWl4 kHz at beam center. The seven Telstar 5 transponder numbers and the
corresponding up and downlink frequencies at the centers of the digital carriers are as
follows:

                                                   Center frequencies (MHz) of
                              Telstar 5               the +12 dBW/4 kHz

Transponders 6, 13, 14, 18, and 20 have 27 MHz bandwidth, same as that of the
wideband digital carrier. Transponders 2 and 4 have a bandwidth of 54 MHz. Three
options are shown in each of these two transponders, which correspond to placing a
wideband digital carrier in the left half, center, and the right half of the transponder. Any

wideband digital carrier in the transponder will be operated in back-off mode to keep the
maximum EIRP density at +12 dBW14KHz at beam center.
The adjacent satellite operators with whom coordination has been completed are:

PanAmSat - Galaxy XI (9 1" W), Galaxy IIIR (95" W), and Galaxy IVR (99" W)
SES Americom - AMC-4 (10 1 W), AMC- 1 (103" W)

In addition, coordination with Telstar 6 (93" W) has been.completed.

In the future, Loral Skynet will ensure that the continued operation of these wideband
digital carriers is coordinated with the satellites at 2,4, and 6-degree spacings.


Sincerely,
H -T6-h
Acceptance by PanAmSat:

PanAmSat agrees that coordination between Telstar 5 at 97 degrees WL operating the
wideband digital carriers described in this letter, and Galaxy XI (9 1" W), Galaxy IIIR
(95" W), and Galaxy IVR (99" W) has been completed.
