                conditions:
                   4 ——— Licensee must ensure that a current listing of the name, title, mailing address, email address, and telephone
                         number of the responsible point of contact are on file at the FCC. Any changes must be filed electronically in the

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION             AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      conditions:
         5 ——— Licensee must notify the Commission when an earth station is no longer operational or when it has not been used
               to provide any service during any 6—month operation.

         6 ——— Licensee must comply with the license modification and notification requirements of 47 CFR § 25.118 to change
               the coordinates of its authorized earth station.

     2300 ——— Authority is granted to operate this station by remote control provided that: (1)the parameters of the transmissions
              of this station monitored at the remote control point, and the operational functions sufficient to ensure that the
              operations of this station are in full compliance with the station authorization at all times; (2) upon detection by
              the grantee, or upon notification from the Commission, of a deviation of the operation of this station,
              transmissions shall be immediately suspended until the deviation is corrected, except that transmissions
              concerning the immediate safety of life or property may be conducted for the duration of such emergency; and (3)
              the grantee shall have available, at all times, the technical personnel necessary to perform the technical servicing
              and maintenance of this station expeditiously. See also Public Notice "The International Bureau Provides
              Guidance Concerning the Relocation of Earth Station Remote Control Points", DA 06—978 (rel. May 4, 2006).
     9663 ——— The band 17.8—20.2 GHz is shared with Federal space stations in both geostationary and non—geostationary
              satellite orbits and associated earth stations in the fixed—satellite service (space—to—Earth). While the Iridium
              satellite system and cooperating earth stations licensed prior to the allocation to Federal systems adopted on July
              28, 1995 were not subject to coordination, this earth station is subject to coordination with Federal fixed—satellite
              service systems in accordance with footnote US334 to the Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106.
    90398 ——— Changes to previously authorized transmitting facilities, operations and devices regulated by the Commission that
              may have significant environmental impact, and are not excluded by §1.1306, require the preparation of an
              Environmental Assessment (EA) by the licensee.                (see 47 C.F.R.       §§1.1307,    1.1308 and     1.1311)
    90399 ——— The licensee shall, at all times, take all necessary measures to ensure that operation of this (these) authorized earth
              station(s) 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. Physical 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.

    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 antennasystem 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 bythis authorizationshall 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
