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. 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 unacceptable levels of inter—satellite interference. 2325 ——— Antennas and all antenna supporting structures used under this authorization shall not exceed 20 feet in height. 2627 ——— All services are interconnected to the Public Switched Network. 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 power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines. 3848 ——— The authorized frequency band(s) has (have) been cleared with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. 5208 ——— The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna 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 wherever such exposures might occur. 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 OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fcec.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. 5747 ——— Licensee‘s mobile earth station terminals operating on board aircraft shall comply with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules and regulations and all other international agreements in forces to which the United States is a party. 5748 ——— Licensee‘s mobile earth station terminals operating on board maritime vessels shall comply with all applicable U.S. Coast Guard and International Maritime Organization (IMO) rules and regulations and all other international agreements in force to which the United States is a party.

See 47 C.F.R. Section 87.147(d). 5779 ——— Upon completion of construction each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the following information: name of the licensee, file number of the application, call sign of the antenna, date of the license and certification that construction of the facility as authorized has been completed, and that the station is operational including the date of commencement of service, and will remain operational during the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation. 5851 ——— In accordance with US Footnote 308, the operation of MET‘s in the 1545—1558.5 and 1646.5—1660 MHz is on a secondary basis to U.S. AMS[R]JS requirements of other U.S.—authorized MSS providers operating in the 1545—1559 and 1646.5—1660 MHz bands. 5875 ——— Licensee‘s operation of the authorized MET‘s is on a secondary basis to safety and distress communications of those stations operating in the Global Maritime Distress Satellite Service. 5880 ——— Use of this facility to provide international service on a common carrier basis requires a separate authorization under Section 214 of the Communication Act of 1934, as amended. 5898 ——— This authorization is subject to operation of Inmarsat under Section 648 of the ORBIT Act imposing restrictions on exclusive arrangements for the provision of satellite services between the United States and other countries. 5956 ——— The authorized mobile earth terminals (METs) shall comply with the out—of—band emission limits set forth in Sections 25.202(f) and 25.216 of the Commission‘s rules,. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.202(f) and 25.216; Out—of—Band Emission Orders, FCC 02—34 (rel. May 14, 2002), as amended by FCC—03—0283 (rel. November 18, 2003). 5957 ——— Licensees must comply with the terms of any L—band operator—to—operator coordination agreement. In the absence of a continuing L—band operator—to—operator coordination agreement, operations of METs in the 1525—1559 and 1626.5—1660.5 MHz bands will be on a non—harmful interference basis until a future operator—to—operator agreement is concluded. In this instance, each licensee must notify the other operators in these frequency bands that it will be operating on a non—harmful interference basis. Each licensee must notify its customers that its operations are on a non—harmful interference basis. ( page 6 of 7 ) FCC Form 488

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION Name: Comsat, Inc. Call Sign: E050276 Authorization Type: Modification of License File Number: SES—MOD—20151009—00694 Common Carrier Grant date: 04/25/2016 Expiration Date: 06/14/2025 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. ( page 7 of 7) | FCC Form 488
