Attachment 1 PetroCom License Corporation Application for Earth Station Special Temporary Authority JUSTIFICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY PetroCom License Corporation (“PetroCom”), pursuant to the provisions of Section 25.120 of the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) hereby requests that the FCC grant it special temporary authority (“STA”), for a period of thirty (30) days, beginning on November 23, 2007, to operate the facilities associated with the satellite earth station (the “Station”) described in the attached technical description, for testing purposes only. PetroCom will ultimately operate the Station from the Tahiti oil production platform (the “Platform”) in the Gulf of Mexico (the “Gulf”) owned by Chevron. The Station will allow PetroCom to provide service to Chevron. The Station will permit Chevron to communicate from the Platform to Chevron personnel on shore. It is anticipated that the Station will be shipped to the Platform within sixty (60) days of grant of STA. PetroCom has received authority to operate the Station on a permanent basis from the Platform.1/ The FCC previously issued STA to PetroCom covering the interim operation of this station for testing purposes, but testing is not yet complete and the Station is not yet ready to be shipped to the Platform.2/ As the FCC has recognized by granting PetroCom STA for testing purposes under similar conditions, prior to shipping the Station to the Platform and deploying the Station on the Platform, it is necessary for PetroCom to test the Station at a shipyard in Ingleside, Texas.3/ By testing the Station before it is deployed in the Gulf, PetroCom will be able to ensure its proper functioning prior to shipment. Once the Station is shipped to the Platform it will be the principal source of communications from the Platform. Because the Station will be the primary means of communications on the Platform, testing after the installation of the Station poses a risk to the safety and health of personnel onboard as well as to the environment, in the event of an incident requiring intervention. With testing verified at the shipyard in Ingleside, communications will be available immediately once the Station is installed. Accordingly, testing of the Station at the shipyard location is necessary before the Station is transported to the Platform in the Gulf. STA under these conditions is contemplated by Section 1/ See PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-LIC-20070622-00852, Callsign E070119 (granted July 31, 2007). 2/ See PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20071022-01447 (granted October 23, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070921-01307 (granted September 25, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070823-01118 (granted August 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070724-00981 (granted July 26, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070626-00871 (granted June 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070524-00719 (granted May 25, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070424-00513 (granted April 27, 2007). 3/ See, e.g., Id.; PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20050623-00809, Callsign E050131 (granted June 27, 2005); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20041123- 01729, Callsign E040444 (granted December 7, 2004).

25.120(a) of the FCC’s rules, which states that STA may be requested for “circumstances requiring…temporary use of facilities.” It would be inefficient for the FCC to process an application for permanent authorization for the Station at the shipyard facility, because of the limited duration at which the Station will be located there. Accordingly, the FCC is requested to issue STA to PetroCom, effective November 23, 2007, for a period of thirty (30) days, so that it may test the Station on land before it is deployed to the Platform in the Gulf. If there are any questions regarding this STA request, the FCC is asked to contact communications counsel for PetroCom, Russell H. Fox of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 202-434-7483, rfox@mintz.com.

Attachment 2 PetroCom License Corporation Application for Earth Station Special Temporary Authority Request for Waiver PetroCom License Corporation (“PetroCom”) hereby requests that the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) waive the provisions of Section 25.209 to permit it to operate an earth station antenna in the 4/6 GHz Band (the “C Band”) that does not comply with the antenna gain limitations specified in the FCC’s rules. This waiver request is submitted in support of PetroCom’s request for special temporary authority (“STA”) to test a satellite earth station (the “Station”) at a location other than where it will be permanently installed. PetroCom has obtained permanent authorization for the Station, which included a separate request for waiver of the rules in connection with that application.1/ Attached to this wavier request are the following exhibits: Exhibit A - Frequency Coordination for Testing Exhibit B - Radiation Hazard Study Exhibit C - Schedule B, Technical and Operational Description of Earth Station During Testing Exhibit D - Electrical Test Report for SeaTel 2.4 m Antenna Exhibit E - Data Tables Exhibit F - Affidavits from Adjacent Satellite Operators PetroCom attests to the fact that, as demonstrated by the attached Radiation Hazard Report (Exhibit B), the safe limits for non-ionizing radiation (1m/W/cm²) will not be exceeded. Despite the fact that the main beam of the proposed earth station antenna does not conform to the provisions of Section 25.209(a) and (b), the FCC should grant the requested waiver and STA because PetroCom will not cause unacceptable levels of interference under conditions of uniform 2 degree orbital spacings. The antenna pattern of the Station exceeds the gain specifications of Section 25.209 for the sidelobe envelope in the ±1.0° to 1.9° region by a maximum of 9.0 dB, at 6 GHz. Outside the main beam, the antenna meets the requirements of Section 25.209 of the FCC’s rules. However, the effects of non-compliance with the antenna gain requirements are ameliorated by the reduction in power of the transmit antenna. The provisions of Section 25.212 of the FCC’s rules specify that the maximum RF power density normally licensed for smaller diameter antennas, utilizing C-band data traffic, is -2.7 dBW/4 kHz. The Station is proposed to operate with an RF transmit power density of –34.96 dBW/4 kHz. A comparison of the FCC’s maximum authorized RF transmit power density (-2.7 dBW/4 kHz) and the actual transmit power density of the proposed earth station (-34.96 dBW/4 kHz), indicates that the applied-for transmit power density is 32.76 dBW lower than the specified power restrictions. When the 1/ See PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-LIC-20070622-00852, Callsign E070119 (granted July 31, 2007).

antenna pattern envelopes are considered, the applied-for transmit power density is still 23.76 dBW less than the maximum RF power density normally licensed by the FCC. To support Petrocom’s claim that the operation it proposes will not cause adjacent satellites exposure to greater EIRP density from PetroCom’s facilities than those adjacent satellites would experience from an antenna conforming to the gain patterns of Section 25.209(a) and operating at the EIRP density limits specified in Section 25.212(c), Petrocom submits an Electrical Test Report prepared for the antenna manufacturer showing the gain patterns of the antenna. To supplement this claim Petrocom is also submitting a data table showing how the proposed operation meets the Commission’s off-axis criteria at various elevation angles. This reduced RF transmit power will result in acceptable performance for the antenna with respect to adjacent satellite interference. PetroCom will operate with the AMC-3 satellite (87 degrees W.L.). PetroCom has obtained consent to the use of these non-conforming antennas from all affected parties. Affidavits from PanAmSat and Loral attesting that they are aware and acknowledge Petrocom’s proposed operation in the C Band and that they do not object to that operation are attached hereto. In any case, if the use of this antenna should cause interference into other systems, PetroCom will terminate transmissions immediately upon notice from the affected parties. Finally, PetroCom notes that previous licenses and STAs have been granted to it by the FCC for this size antenna, including for this Station.2/ Accordingly, grant of the requested STA and the forthcoming underlying application will be consistent with past Commission practice. Should there be any questions regarding this waiver request, the FCC is asked to contact communications counsel for PetroCom, Russell H. Fox of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 202-434-7483, rfox@mintz.com. 2/ See, e.g., PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20071022-01447 (granted October 23, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070921-01307 (granted September 25, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070823-01118 (granted August 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070724-00981 (granted July 26, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070626-00871 (granted June 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070524-00719 (granted May 25, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20070424-00513 (granted April 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20050623-00809, Callsign E050131 (granted June 27, 2005); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20041123-01729, Callsign E040444 (granted December 7, 2004); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-LIC- 20050505-00538, Callsign E050131 (granted June 13, 2005); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES-STA-20041122-01722, Callsign E040444 (granted January 26, 2005).

Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 4 Analysis of Non-Ionizing Radiation for a 2.4-Meter Earth Station System This report analyzes the non-ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4-meter earth station system. The analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97-01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96-326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far-field, near-field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

Radiation Hazard Report Page 2 of 4 1. Far Field Distance Calculation The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation: Distance to the Far Field Region Rff = 0.60 D2 / λ (1) = 71.4 m The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following equation: On-Axis Power Density in the Far Field Sff = G P / (4 π Rff 2) (2) = 2.598 W/m2 = 0.260 mW/cm2 2. Near Field Calculation Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance. The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Extent of the Near Field Rnf = D2 / (4 λ) (3) = 29.7 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Near Field Power Density Snf = 16.0 η P / (π D2) (4) = 6.065 W/m2 = 0.607 mW/cm2 3. Transition Region Calculation The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions away from the antenna. The power density at a distance Rt can be determined from the following equation: Transition Region Power Density St = Snf Rnf / Rt (5) = 0.607 mW/cm2

Radiation Hazard Report Page 3 of 4 4. Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly surface. This can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Feed Flange Sfa = 4000 P / Afa (6) = 685.852 mW/cm2 5. Main Reflector Region The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Reflector Surface Ssurface = 4 P / Asurface (7) = 9.947 W/m2 = 0.995 mW/cm2 6. Region between the Reflector and the Ground Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and the ground can be determined from the following equation: Power Density between Reflector and Ground Sg = P / Asurface (8) = 2.487 W/m2 = 0.249 mW/cm2

("SES Americom") is aware that PetroCom License Corporation, ("PetroCom®"), is filing to operate on the SES Americom satellite AMC—3 at 87° W.L. licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), using C—band transwit/receive antennas that are not strictly compliant with the FCC rules for off—axis sidelobe gain." The C—band terminal uses the Prodelin antenna with an aperture of 2.4 meters or the SeaTel antenna with an aperture of 2.4 meters. SES—Americom understands that these antennas are installed on oil platforms at fixed locations and generally exhibit non—compliance performance in the region from 1.0 to1.6 degrees off axis from the maximum gain. The antennas comply at 1.6 degrees and beyond with the requirements of Section 25.209 of the FCC‘s rules. In order to prevent potential unacceptable interference from antenna misalignment, Petrocom will align the 2.4 meter antennas to less than or equal to 0.5 degrees offset in the azimuth direction of the intended satellite. In addition, the uplink power density for the antennas operating on the AMC—3 satellite at 87° W.L. will not exceed —12.0 dBW/4 kHz into the antenna flange. SES Americom acknowledges that the use of the Prodelin 2.4 meter antenna and the SeaTel 2.4 meter antenna by PetroCom, installed and operated in accordance with the above conditions, should not cause unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites in accordance with FCC‘s 2— degree spacing policy and that Petrocom will accept interference from adjacent satellites to the degree to which harmful interference would not be expected to be caused to an earth station employing an antenna conforming to the reference patterns defined in Section 25.209 of FCC rules. If the use of this antenna should cause interference into other systems, Petrocom has agreed that it will terminate transmission immediately upon notice from the affected parties. 147 C.F.R. § 25.209 SES AMERICOM, Inc.
