Operations must be in accordance with the technical specifications contained in Row 44, Inc.‘s application and are subject to the following conditions: 1. Operations under this grant of special temporary authority must be on an un—protected, non—harmful interference basis, i.e., while operating under this temporary authority Row 44, Inc. must not cause harmful interference to, and must not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system. Row 44, Inc. must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. 2. ESAA operations in the 14.2—14.47 GHz band shall not exceed the EIRP density limits specified in the current earth station authorization, Call Sign E080100, IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20121023— 00963. We note that this grant does not authorize any higher power density levels as requested in SES—MFS—2015031800164. 3. Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.2—14.47GHz band must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—R M.1643, with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47—14.5 GHz band. 4. When operating in international airspace within line—of—sight of the territory of a foreign administration where Fixed Service networks have a primary allocation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band, an aircraft earth station must not produce ground—level power flux density (pfd) in such territory in excess of the following values unless the foreign administration has imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: —132 + 0.5 x THETA dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for THETA <= 40° ; —112 dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for 40° < THETA <=90°. Where: THETA is the angle of arrival of the radio— frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate to the pfd and angles of arrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions. 5. Operations pursuant to this authorization must conform with the terms of coordination agreements between the operator of AMC—2 and operators of other Ku—band geostationary satellites within six angular degrees of AMC—2. In the event that another GSO Fixed—Satellite Service (FSS) space station commences operations in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band at a location within six degrees of any of these space stations, aircraft earth stations operating pursuant to this temporary authority shall cease transmitting to that space station unless and until such operation has been coordinated with the new space station‘s operator or Row 44, Inc. demonstrates that such operation will not cause interference to the new co—frequency space station.

Row 44, Inc. must 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. 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/oetlrfsafety) 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. The licensee shall ensure installation of terminals on aircraft by qualified installers who have an understanding of the antenna‘s radiation environment and the measures best suited to maximize protection of the general public and persons operating the aircraft and equipment. A terminal exhibiting radiation exposure levels exceeding 1.0 mW/emin accessible areas, such as at the exterior surface of the radome, shall have a label attached to the surface of the terminal warning about the radiation hazard and shall include thereon a diagram showing the regions around the terminal where the radiation levels could exceed 1.0 mW/cm*. Row 44, Inc. must maintain a U.S. point of contact available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized herein. The licensee shall have available, at all times, the technical personnel necessary to perform supervision of remote station operations. Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must employ a tracking algorithm that is resistant to capturing and tracking adjacent satellite signals, and each station must be capable of inhibiting its own transmission in the event it detects unintended satellite tracking. Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must be monitored and controlled by a ground—based network control and monitoring center. Such stations must be able to receive "enable transmission" and "disable transmission" commands from the network control center and must cease transmission immediately after receiving a "parameter change" command until receiving an "enable transmission" command from the network control center. The network control center must monitor . operation of each aircraft earth station to determine if it is malfunctioning, and each aircraft earth station must self—monitor and automatically cease transmission on detecting an operational fault that could cause harmful interference to a fixed—satellite service network. 10. Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications. 11. Operation in the territory or airspace of any country other than the United States must be in compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, and licensing procedures of that country, as well as with the conditions of this authorization. 12. For each ESAA transmitter, Row 44, Inc. must maintain records of the following data for each operating aircraft earth station (AES), a record of the aircraft location (i.e.,

latitude/longitude/altitude), transmit frequency, channel bandwidth and satellite used shall be time annotated and maintained for a period of not less than one year. Records shall be recorded at time intervals no greater than one (1) minute while the AES is transmitting. The ESAA operator shall make this data available, in the form of a comma delimited electronic spreadsheet, within 24 hours of a request from the Commission, NTIA, or a frequency coordinator for purposes of resolving harmful interference events. A description of the units (i.e., degrees, minutes, MHz ...) in which the records values are recorded will be supplied along with the records. 13. Antenna elevation for all operations must be at least 5 degrees above the geographic horizon while the aircraft is on the ground. 14. Row 44, Inc. must comply with any pertinent limits established by the International Telecommunication Union to protect other services allocated internationally. 15. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding pending applications or future requests for special temporary authority. E.g. IBFS File No. SES—MFS—20150318—00164. 16. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at Row 44, Inc.‘s risk. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.FR. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Sections 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within thirty days of the date of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.

Row 44, Inc. STA Request March 2015 Page 1 of 2 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Row 44, Inc. hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for a period of sixty (60) days, pursuant to Section 25.120(b) of the FCC‘s Rules, to operate its licensed Ku—band network of Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft ("ESAA"), under Call Sign E080100, with an additional satellite point of communication, AMC—2 at 80.85° W.L. Row 44 has recently filed an application seeking permanent authority to operate with this satellite (as well as another satellite, SES—6 at 40.5° W.L.) as a new point of communication, and to modify operating parameters for use of two other satellites already authorized for Row 44‘s use (AMC—9 at 83° W.L. and SES—1 at 101° W.L.). See File No SES—MFS—20150318—00064 ("Modification Application"), copy attached hereto. In this STA application, Row 44 seeks authority to permit initiation of service on AMC—2 using up to fifty (50) operating earth stations while this underlying application remains pending. Row 44‘s STA operation would change its current authority only through the addition of AMC—2 as a point of communication for this limited number of units under the operating approach outlined in the Modification Application, and its operations would otherwise remain consistent with all terms and conditions of its current license. Proposed operations on AMC—2 would be limited to conventional Ku—band capacity frequencies at 11.7 to 12.2 GHz (downlink) and 14.0 to 14.5 GHz (uplink), as proposed in the pending Modification Application. All technical and other required information concerning Row 44‘s planned use of AMC—2 is contained in the underlying application. See Modification Application, File No. SES—MFS— 20150318—00064. Row 44‘s Modification Application includes a coordination certification letter from SES confirming that its proposed ESAA operations are consistent with coordination arrangements with operators of the satellites within six degrees on either side of AMC—2. Id. at Exhibit B. Row 44‘s planned operations will also be fully consistent with its existing agreements with the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and will adhere to the terms and conditions of Row 44‘s current license. Under Section 25.120(b)(1) of the FCC‘s Rules, the International Bureau may grant an STA when the public interest supports the relief requested, and/or delay in the institution of temporary operations would be contrary to the public interest. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(1). Such authority may be granted for a period not to exceed 60 days if the STA Request itself has not appeared on public notice but the applicant has filed a request for permanent authority for the parameters and facilities requested. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3). Grant of the authority requested in this instance will affirmatively serve the public interest by permitting Row 44 to continue to serve existing customers and to expand its ESAA network for the broader benefit of air travelers and airline crew members. Access to this new capacity is urgently needed at this time because higher than expected demand from airline passengers has caused severe congestion on the network, and there are not currently additional capacity options on satellites for which Row 44 has already obtained authorization. If Row 44 finds that it has insufficient bandwidth to operate normally, service availability would be

Row 44, Inc. STA Request March 2015 Page 2 of 2 impaired and the in—flight user experience significantly degraded. Due to these circumstances, Row 44 has been forced to seek authority to add new satellite capacity in a much shorter timeframe than would normally be expected. Addition of AMC—2 to Row 44‘s existing authority will provide more effective coverage of its primary U.S. service area (CONUS), as well as parts of Central America, the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean. This will provide enhanced performance and also make new areas of operation available to U.S. airline passengers that use the Row 44 service. Grant of the requested STA is consistent with Commuission policy and will not adversely affect other authorized operations. Row 44 acknowledges that favorable FCC action on this STA request would be without prejudice to the ultimate determination the FCC will make regarding the Modification Application. In addition, Row 44 acknowledges that any action taken pursuant to a grant of the requested STA will be at its own risk. The conventional Ku—band capacity that Row 44 seeks to use on AMC—2 will be available in the very near term. Accordingly, Row 44 respectfully requests that the FCC grant it authority for a period of sixty (60) days commencing on or before March 25, 2015 to use the AMC—2 satellite as a point of communication in the conventional Ku—band for up to 50 antennas operating under its FCC ESAA network license. Row 44 desires to begin testing on that date with the objective of commencing service to users during the first week of April.

Row 44 Inc. FCC Form 312 March 2015 Page 1 of 5 Attachment Description of Application for Modification of License 1.0 OVERVIEW This application seeks to modify the current Row 44, Inc. ("Row 44")‘ Ku—band Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft ("ESAA") license to increase EIRP for transmit conditions with 25° skew or less to the receiving satellite, add new emission designators, and to transmit at lower EIRP than is presently authorized at skew angles ranging up to 55°, angles of arrival at which Row 44 does not currently operate. In addition, Row 44 seeks authority to add two additional satellites as points of communication — AMC—2 at 80.85° W.L. and SES—6 at 40.5° W.L. These additional points of communication are both space stations licensed to and operated by SES, S.A. SES—6 is a non—U.S. satellite, but is already included on the FCC‘s Ku—band Permitted List. All of the requested changes relate solely to the 0.62 meter TECOM Ku—Stream antenna, which is identified as Remote Terminal #2 in the existing Row 44 license (Call Sign E0O80100). No other changes in the technical parameters contained in the current ESAA license are proposed except as set forth herein, in Form 312 and Schedule B thereto, and in the Technical Appendix, Exhibit A to this application. To the extent practicable, the Form 312 includes only information that is changing due to the requested modification (e.g., it includes both the new satellite points of communication and those previously—authorized satellites for which changes in operating parameters are requested, but not the other satellites included as points of communication under Row 44‘s current license for which no operational modification is sought herein). The proposed modifications to Row 44‘s existing authority apply only to certain satellite points of communication that are currently part of the Row 44 license — specifically AMC—9 and SES—1, operated by SES — as well as to the newly—requested satellites identified above. The requested changes in operating parameters will provide enhanced service to airline passengers on flights operating over North American airspace and in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean regions by allowing increased system capacity and service availability. Except as specifically set forth herein, Row 44 seeks these modifications subject to all terms and conditions set forth in its current license." ‘_The in—flight connectivity business established by Row 44 now operates under the name Global Eagle Entertainment, which is the parent company of Row 44 (see IBFS File No. SES— T/C—20121203—01063). As Row 44 remains the name of the FCC licensee, that designation is used in this application. * See Row 44 Inc., Radio Station Authorization, Call Sign E080100, File No. SES—MOD— 20121023—00963, as amended by SES—AFS—20130920—00833 & SES—AFS—20140203—00029 (Sat. Div., granted Aug. 29, 2014).

Row 44 Inc. FCC Form 312 March 2015 Page 2 of 5 Row 44 seeks to implement service on one or more of the satellites subject to its amended modification application as soon as practicable, and respectfully requests that this modification application be placed on public notice as quickly as possible in order to facilitate this projected implementation schedule. To the extent necessary, Row 44 will seek Special Temporary Authority to permit modified service using certain satellites in advance of final action on the entirety of the current request for modification. 2.0 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION, LINK BUDGETS AND PREDICTED COVERAGE AREA Exhibit A includes a technical description of the proposed changes, a depiction of the coverage contours in relation to combinations of EIRP and skew angle (skew angle ranging from 25° to 55°), as well as representative link budgets. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.227(b)(4). 3.0 COORDINATION LETTER Row 44‘s intended operations are within the scope that SES has coordinated with the adjacent satellite operators, and should not cause harmful interference into adjacent satellites operating in accordance with FCC‘s two—degree spacing policy. A copy of a supplemental coordination letter covering Row 44‘s proposed new operations with the identified SES satellites is attached hereto as Exhibit B. See 47 C.F.R. §25.227(b)(2). Row 44‘s operations, as modified, will continue to conform to the terms of its existing coordination agreements with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA") and the National Science Foundation ("NSF"), as required under Condition 90057 its current ESAA license." 3 Row 44‘s coordination agreements with NASA and NSF pre—date the adoption of current rule Sections 25.227(c)(1) & (d)(1), which provide for Public Notice to allow comment on coordination agreements governing operations of ESAA networks in frequency bands shared with NASA and NSF facilities. Accordingly, to the extent necessary, Row 44 requests that the Public Notice issued announcing acceptance of this modification application include the referenced notifications concerning Row 44‘s existing coordination agreements with NASA and NSF.

EXHIBIT A Approach Row 44‘s present implementation involves a single EIRP and skew—limit. Row 44 proposes to augment its operation by establishing four EIRP—skew limit combinations and 3 emission bandwidth combinations. Table 1 depicts the present Row 44 authorization: Table 1 — Present Authorization EIRP Limit (in a 1.024 MHz emission bandwidth) Skew Limit 38.8 dBW (14.7 dBW/ 4 kHz, 40.0 dBm TX power) 35 degrees Table 2 depicts the proposed authorizations involving skew angle, EIRP density / TX power, and emission bandwidth: Table 2 — Proposed Authorization EIRP Density and TX EIRP Density and TX EIRP Density and TX Skew Power (1.024 MHz emission Power (2.048 MHz emission Power (4.096 MHz Limit bandwidth) bandwidth) emission bandwidth) 16.2 dBW/ 4 kHz (41.5 dBm 16.2 dBW/ 4 kHz (44.5 dBm 13.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (45.0 25 TX power) TX power) dBm TX power) degrees 14.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (40.0 dBm 14.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (43.0 dBm 13.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (45.0 35 TX power) TX power) dBm TX power) degrees 13.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (39.0 dBm 13.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (42.0 dBm 13.7 dBW/ 4 kHz (45.0 45 TX power) TX power) dBm TX power) _ degrees 11.9 dBW/ 4 kHz (37.2 dBm 11.9 dBW/ 4 kHz (40.2 dBm 11.9 dBW/ 4 kHz (43.2 55 TX power) TX power) dBm TX power) degrees Introducing the revised limits and emission bandwidths in Table 2 will allow: (1) Row 44 to transmit at higher EIRP densities within geographic areas limiting skew to 25 degrees, facilitating higher inroute data rates for users / aircraft within those areas (2) Row 44 to continue to transmit at existing EIRP densities (and facilitating existing data rates), within geographic areas where skew is limited to 35 degrees

(3) Row 44 to transmit at lower EIRP densities within geographic areas limiting skew to 45 and 55 degrees, thereby facilitating services for users / aircraft where data communications were previously unavailable (4) Row 44 to transmit at a variety of combinations of EIRP and emission bandwidths, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage, and providing users higher data rates than those of the present. In all cases of skew limits of 25, 35, 45, or 55 degrees, Row 44 shall comply with the EIRP density limits established in Section 25.227. Table 3 depicts the proposed applicability of the Table 2 categories between satellites and skew angles: Table 3 — Applicability of Table 2 Skew—EIRP Limits Satellite 25 d 35 d 45 d SES—1 AMC—9 AMC—2 SES—6 This Exhibit also includes sample link budgets pertaining to each of the combinations of EIRP, emission bandwidth, skew limit, and satellite. These are located at the end of this Exhibit. Note that in all cases, the link budgets for 1.024 MHz emission bandwidths apply to those for 2.048 MHz as well, as the EIRP densities are the identical, and link performance subsequently the same.
