Special Temporary Authority (STA)

SES Americom, Inc. is granted STA to operate its earth station Call Sign E140095 in Mount
Airy, Maryland for 60 days, commencing on December 8, 2014, to operate the 7.3 meter GD
Satcom model 7.3KPC antenna to provide telecommand and telemetry functions for satellite
AMC—9 (Call sign 2434) at orbital location 83° W.L. The operations will enable SES
Americom to perform a planned transition of the TT&C functions for AMC—9 from SES‘s
Vernon Valley teleport to the Woodbine teleport. The operations will be under the following
conditions:

1.      SES Americom, Inc. will perform the operations in the uplink frequency (Earth—to—
space): 6423.5 MHz (telecommand) and the downlink frequencies (space—to—Earth): 3700.5
MHz and 4199.5 MHz (telemetry).

2.      Operations, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from,
interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s)
immediately upon notice of such interference.

3.     In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of STA, SES Americom, Inc.
E140095 must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and must

                  APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                                 (Call Sign E140095)
SES Americom, Inc. ("SES") respectfully requests a 60—day Special Temporary Authority
("STA") to begin use of the new 7.3m GD Satcom C—band antenna (C—12) (call sign E140095)
for TT&C of the AMC—9 satellite at 83° W.L. prior to grant of the regular authorization for the
earth station.‘ Expedited processing is requested by December 8, 2014, to enable SES to
perform a planned transition of the TT&C functions for AMC—9 from SES‘s Vernon Valley
teleport to its Woodbine teleport.

Specifically, SES requests authority to use the C—12 antenna on the following TT&C frequencies
with AMC—9: 6423.5 MHz (telecommand), 3700.5 MHz and 4199.5 MHz (telemetry)." All
TT&C operations will be conducted within the coordinated technical parameters set forth in the
pending earth station license application for regular authority." No harmful interference is
expected to be caused or received during the proposed TT&C operations.

Expedited grant of the requested STA by December 8, 2014, will serve the public interest by
enabling SES to optimize the use of its earth station assets to perform TT&C for its satellites.
