H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION                AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
        2200 ——— These facilities shall be used for the reception of only such programming material that the grantee has been
                 authorized to receive and use by the owner of the programming material,

        2464 ——— The grantee is authorized to add, delete or change channels of program material without further application or
                 notification to the Commission, provided: (a)The carriage of such program material is an authorized pursuant to
                 the Commission‘s rules, regulations and policies governing the terrestrial system (s) used to distribute this
                 material to the end subscribers, and (b) that such earth station operations are consistent with the technical
                 parameters specified in the registration.
        2465 ——— This provision relates to potential interference from terrestrial microwave stations. Operation of the receive—only
                 earth station shall be in accordance with the frequency coordination exhibit accompanying the application.

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


        9659 ——— The licensee is afforded 30 days from the date of issuance of this license to decline it as conditioned. Failure to

    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 may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) ofthe
              Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. §303(q).

              Neither this authorizationnor 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 ofthe
              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 norany right in the use of the
              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 thestation 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 stationis not ready for operation by the required date of
              completion of construction unless an application for modification of authorizationto request additional time to
              complete construction is filed bythat date, together witha 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 annualregulatory fees from regulatees is contained in Public Law 103—66, The Omnibus Budget
              Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, whichare 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. Receiveonlyearth stations are exempt from payment of regulatoryfees.
