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.
      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.
     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.
     5011 ——— The Licensee(s) shall maintain on file with the Commission a curtent list or plan of the precise frequencies in use
              at the station, specifying for each frequency the RF center frequency, polarization, emission designator, nominal
              EIRP (in dBW) and maximum EIRP density (in dbW/4kHz). This list or plan may be submitted either on a
              station—by—station basis or on a system—wide basis and shall be updated within seven (7) days of any changes in
              frequency usage at this station. The Licensee(s) need not notify the Commission of temporary usage of
              frequencies for periods of less than seven (7) days. However, the Licensee(s) shall maintain accurate station
              records of the times and particulars of such temporary frequency usage.
     5014 ——— With respect to potential co—channel interference to or from terrestrial microwave radio stations, the transmit and
              receive frequency bands listed in this license have been cleared for transmissions to and from satellites located in
              the geostationary or non—geostationary orbit for the emissions designated in Section B of this license.
     5015 ——— 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 the facility as authorized has been completed, that each antenna facility has been
              tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209 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.

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION           AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
     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.fec.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.
    90204 ——— Communications with the Satmex 9 space station are authorized based upon and subject to the conditions,
              waivers, and findings specified for Call Sign $2926.

    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 mayrequire 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 ofthe
              designated frequencies beyond the term of this license, norin 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 ifthe station is not ready for operation by the required date of
              completion of construction unless an applicationfor 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 undercontrol 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.
