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.                                                                                                  stub
     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 stub
              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 stub
              power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines.
     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 stub
              1.1311. See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).
    90145 --- The licensee must commence operations and notify the Commission within twelve months of the date of grant of
              this authorization. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.133(a)(2).
                                                                                                                                stub

Authorization Type: Modification of License                                       File Number: SES-MOD-20130416-00322

H) Special and General Provisions
   A) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      conditions:
    90263 --- The Max EIRP/Carrier for Antenna ID "Handheld" reflects the sum of the maximum flange power and the
              antenna gain. The Handheld Max EIRP Density/Carrier reflects the Max EIRP/Carrier (11.95 dBW) divided by
              the occupied bandwidth of 25kHz normalized to a 4kHz bandwidth.                                          stub
    90264 --- The Max EIRP/Carrier for Antenna ID "OpenPort" reflects the sum of the maximum flange power adjusted for
              the transmitted duty cycle and the antenna gain. The OpenPort Max EIRP Density/Carrier reflects the maximum
              EIRP (9.4 dBW) divided by 16 times the occupied subcarrier bandwidth of 25kHz, which each equals 400 kHz, stub
              normalized to a 4kHz bandwidth.
    90265 --- The Max EIRP/Carrier for Antenna ID "LiveTV " reflects the sum of the maximum flange power adjusted for the
              transmitted duty cycle and the antenna gain. The Live TV Max EIRP Density/Carrier reflects the maximum EIRP
              (6.4 dBW) divided by carrier bandwidth of 25kHz normalized to a 4kHz segment.                               stub
    90266 --- The Max EIRP/Carrier for Antenna ID "AMS(R)S-X" reflects the sum of the maximum flange power adjusted
              for the transmitted duty cycle and the antenna gain. The AMS(R)S Max EIRP Density/Carrier reflects the
              maximum EIRP (dBW) divided by occupied bandwidth of 35kHz normalized to a 4kHz.                        stub
    90267 --- Operations are subject to ITU Radio Regulations 5.364, 5.365, 5.366, 5.367, and 5.368.
                                                                                                                            stub
    90268 --- Site ID AMS(R)S authorizes both AMSS and AMS(R)S operations. AMSR(S) operations are limited to remote,
              oceanic, and polar regions
                                                                                                                            stub
    90294 --- Operations shall comply with Section 25.213 of the Commission rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.213.
                                                                                                                            stub
    90299 --- 20,000 AMS(R)S terminals are authorized for operation aboard U.S commercial aircraft, wherever located, and
              aboard non-U.S. commercial aircraft located in U.S. and over adjacent waters.
                                                                                                                            stub

                                   RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION
Name: Iridium Satellite LLC                                                             Call Sign: E960132
Authorization Type: Modification of License                                          File Number: SES-MOD-20130416-00322
Non Common Carrier                 Grant date:   03/02/2016       Expiration Date:    11/01/2021




   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 is not ready for operation by the required date of
              completion of construction unless an application for modification of authorization to request additional time to
              complete construction is filed by that date, together with a showing that failure to complete construction 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.
