H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION            AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
     2938 ——— Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the
              following information: (1) name of the licensee, (2) file number of the application, (3) call sign of the antenna, (4)
              date of the license, (5) certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, (6) certification that each
              antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209, and (7) certification
              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.
     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.
     6659 ——— This grant does not authorize the licensee to provide commercial fixed satellite service operations in the
              17.8—18.3 GHz band within the United States.

    90193 ——— Grant of this application and operations under this license are based upon and subject to the conditions, waivers,
              and findings specified for Call Sign $2935.

    90226 ——— Transmissions between earth station call sign E150018 and O3b Limited NGSO space stations are limited to the
              provision of integration, testing, and demonstration services in the 17.8—18.6 GHz and 18.8—19.3 GHz
              (space—to—Earth) and the 27.6—28.4 GHz and 28.6—29.1 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. This authorization
              is limited to two earth station terminals each employing two 1.2 meter antennas located within an area of one
              second latitude by one second longitude, and does not permit O3b Limited to operate ubiquitously deployed
              terminals in these frequency bands. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.103; Rulemaking to Amend Parts 1, 2, 21, and 25 of the
              Commission‘s Rules to Redesignate the 27.5—29.5 GHz Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5—30.0 GHz
              Frequency Band, to Establish Rules and Policies for Local Multipoint Distribution Service and for Fixed Satellite
              Services, Third Report and Order, 12 FCC Red. 22310, 22327 para. 42 (1997).
    90364 ——— Any transmissions in the 27.5—28.35 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band are on a secondary basis with respect
              to LMDS until the provisions adopted in FCC 16—89 go into force. After that, this earth station is considered
              grandfathered in this band pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136(a)(2) or (a)(3).

                                  RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION

Name: 03b Limited                                                                     Call Sign: E150018
Authorization Type: Modification of License                                         File Number: SES—MOD—20160712—00639
Non Common Carrier                Grant date:    11/01/2016      Expiration Date:   09/30/2030




    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 authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of
              markingor 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).

              Neitherthis 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 ofthis 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 ofthis license, norin any other manner than authorized herein.

              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliancewith 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 of a 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
              the required date was due to factors not under control ofthe grantee.

              Licensees are required to payannual 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 regulatoryfees, which are likelyto change each fiscal year, are used
              to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and
              rulemaking activities. The Commissionissues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory
              fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees.
