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.
     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
              1.1311. See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).
     3792 ——— EIRP and EIRP Density reflect the maximum permissible under the frequency coordination. Operation above
              these levels is NOT authorized.

     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.
     5216 ——— All operations shall be on a non—common carrier basis.


     5738 ——— This authorization is subject to the conditions and terms set forth in the Commission‘s Order and Authorization,
              FCC 99—210, released August 6, 1999, and Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 01—107, released March 29,

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      conditions:
     5822 ——— The 3600—3650 MHz band is shared on a co—primary basis in the U.S. and Possessions with Federal Government
              radiolocation systems. Unacceptable interference may be caused to this earth station from radiolocation systems,
              including high—powered, highly mobile, shipbomme and airbome radar transmitters, operating in the frequency
              band. Consistent with the applicant‘s EMC analysis (as required by US245 and based on the NTIA TR—99—361
              Report, Technical Characteristics of Radiolocation Systems operating in the 3.1—3.7 GHz Band and Procedures
              for      assessing      EMC         with      Fixed    Earth      Station      Receivers      (available      at
              http:/www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/reports.htm1), the licensee accepts this potential for unacceptable interference.
              In the case that out—of—band interference does occur, the licensee is further aware that use of a RF filter ahead of
              the low noise amplifier (LNA) will limit potential out—of—band interference to its receiving earth station.
              Additionally, per US 245, in the band 3600—3650 MHz, these fixed—satellite service operations are limited to
              international inter—continental satellite systems.
     5823 ——— The 5850—5925 MHz band is shared in the U.S. and Possessions on a co—primary basis with Federal Government
              radiolocation systems. Unacceptable interference may be caused to this earth station‘s communication links from
              radiolocation systems, including high—powered land—based transportable and shipborne radar transmitters,
              operating in the frequency band in accordance with footnote G2. (See, e.g., NTIA Report Federal Radar
              Spectrum Requirements, (http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/reports/ntia00—40/ntia00—40.pdf), NTIA Report
               83—115,      Spectrum       Resource       Assessment       in     the      5650—5925        MHz        Band
              (http:/www.fee.gov/ib/srd/fedreg_ntiareport.html), and FCC Fifth Notice of Inquiry in Preparation for a General
               World Administrative Conference in 1979 (Docket No. 20271; FCC 77—349)). As required by US245, the earth
              station licensee is aware of the EMC environment and this sharing situation with the radiolocation service and
              accepts the potential for unacceptable interference. Additionally, this fixed—satellite service earth station is
              limited to operations over international inter—continental satellite systems.
      5859 ——— The 3650—3700 MHz band is shared on a co—primary basis in three Federal Government radiolocation systems
               identified in US348. Unacceptable interference may be caused to this earth station from these three radiolocation
               systems operating in the frequency band. Consistent with the applicant‘s EMC analysis (as required by US348
               and based on the NTIA TR—99—361 Report, Technical Characteristics of Radiolocation Systems operating in the
               3.1—3.7 GHz Band and Procedures for assessing EMC with Fixed Earth Station Receivers (available at
               http:/www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/reports.html), the licensee accepts this potential for unacceptable interference
               from the three stations identified in US348. In the case that out—of—band interference does occur, the licensee is
               further aware that use of a RF filter ahead of the low noise amplifier (LNA) will limit potential out—of—band
               interference to its receiving earth station. Additionally, per US 245, in the band 3650—3700 MHz, these
               fixed—satellite service operations are limited to international inter—continental satellite systems.
      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.

Name: Intelsat License LLC                                                             Call Sign: KA264
Authorization Type: Modification of License                                          File Number: SES—MOD—20151102—00796
Non Common Carrier                Grant date:    11/19/2015      Expiration Date:—   03/31/2024




    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 goodfaith.

              This authorizationshall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of
              marking or lighting of the antennasystem 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 ofthe Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R.§
               17.4.

              The following condition applies when this authorization permits construction of or modifies the construction
              permit ofa radio station.

              This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station does not meet each required construction
              deadline by the required date of completion unless, before such date(s), a specific application is timely filed to
              request an extension of the construction deadline(s), supported with good cause why that failure to construct by
              therequired date was due to factors not undercontrol ofthe grantee.

              Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to
              collect annual regulatoryfees from regulatees is contained in Public Law103—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 newregulatory
              fee rates. Receive onlyearth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees.
