Intelsat License LLC is granted a STA extension from SES        A-ZOISIZZZK'Gé%,%r‘!g’I t
days, beginning February 5, 2016, to operate its C—band earth station, call sign E040125,
in Riverside, California, to conducttelemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services
for Intelsat 805 satellite ($2404) to drift the space station from the 55.5° W.L. orbital
location to the 169° E.L. under the following conditions:

1. Intelsat will perform the operations in the uplink frequencies (Earth—to—space): 6173.70
MHz and 6176.30 MHz and the downlink frequencies (space—to—Earth): 3947.50 MHz,
3948.00 MHz, 3952.00 MHz and 3952.50 MHz, within coordinated emission and power
limits.

2. During the drift from 55.5 W.L. to the satellite‘s permanentorbital location 169° E.L.,
Intelsat will coordinate with operators of co—frequency satellites in the drift path.

3. All operators of satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the
licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs, Currently the 24x7
contact information for the Intelsat 805 mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East
Coast Operations Center (primary); (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center
(back—up). Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell.

4. All operations under this grant of STA shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful
interference basis. Intelsat‘s E040125 shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall
not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radio
communication system.

5. In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of STA, Intelsat License LLC
E040125 must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and
must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event.

In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A submitted with its original
STA, which contains technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will
be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any
lawfully operating terrestrial facility. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should
occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate
the interference.

Grant of this further STA extension request will allow Intelsat to continue drifting the Intelsat 805
satellite to its new location. This, in turn, will help satisfy customer demand at 169.0° E.L. orbital
location and thereby promotes the public interest.

Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—6949.
