                 Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell,

Infurther support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A, 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. Intelsat also notes that for purposes of the Intelsat 33e LEOP mission, it is seeking to
operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 20.9 dBW. The technical
information submitted with this STA request reflects a power level as high as 35.5 dBW because Intelsat
might operate at this level in the event an emergency necessitates the use of a higher power level in
order to command the satellite. 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 STA extension request will allow Intelsatto continue safely orbit raising the Intelsat 33e
satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity to customers at the 60.0° E.L. orbital
location and thereby promotes the public interest.

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

Respectfully submitted,
