Attachment to Grant SES Americom, Inc. IBFS File No. SAT—MOD—20100623—00144 Call Sign $2135 November 4, 2010 6. Operation of the AMC—4 space station at the 67° W .L. orbital location is pursuant to ITU Radio Regulation 4.4. 7. SES Americom shall provide the Commission with all information that may be necessary for submission to the ITU in connection with the operations of AMC—4 space station at the 67° W.L. orbital location. 8. This authorization is issued with the understanding that with respect to its filings with the ITU for the 67° W.L. orbital location, the Colombian Administration, as Notifying Administration for the Andean Community, is not acting pursuant to Article 9 of the Radio Regulations on behalf of the United States Administration. 9. This authorization is issued with the understanding that this grant does not in any way express a view concerning, or agreement as to, the validity or lack of validity of any ITU filing at or within the vicinity of the 67° W.L. orbital location. 10. This authorization is issued on the understanding that, to the extent SES Americom and its affiliated companies, pursuant to any arrangement with the Colombian Administration or the Andean Community, will conform its operations to any parameters agreed to in coordination agreements between the Colombian Administration and other Administrations, responsibility for both compliance with, and enforcing compliance with, those arrangements and agreements is a matter that would arise under private law. 11. This authorization is issued with the understanding that this grant is not an approval of any specific arrangement entered into by SES Americom, its subsidiaries and affiliates, nor of any specific provision of any such arrangement concerning operation of the AMC—4 satellite, nor is this grant an approval of an arrangement/agreement concerning any related matter, nor of any specific provision of any such arrangement/agreement concerning any related matter. 12. This conditional grant is limited to SES Americom‘s use of the AMC—4 space station (Call Sign: S$2135) at the 67° W.L. orbital location and does not convey to SES Americom first—in—line status under the Commission‘s first—come, first—served processing framework. If, in the future, SES Americom seeks to operate another space station at this location using the frequencies authorized in this grant, such an application, together with any applications filed by other companies seeking similar authority, would be subject to the first come, first served processing framework for geostationary—satellite orbit space stations. 13. Grant of this application does not change the expiration date of the authorization for the AMC—4 space station, which is December 22, 2014. 14. SES Americom‘s request for waiver of Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.114(d)(3), IS GRANTED. Section 25.114(d)(3) requires predicted space station antenna gain contour(s) for each transmit and each receive antenna beam and nominal 2

Attachment to Grant SES Americom, Inc. IBFS File No. SAT—MOD—20100623—00144 Call Sign $2135 November 4, 2010 orbital location requested. The main purpose of the contour map is to allow evaluation of the potential for harmful interference with other operators and services in the frequency band. SES Americom‘s application indicates that gain information for the global horn antenna was not prepared in accordance with the requirements in Section 25.114(d)(3) of the Commission‘s rules because the space station manufacturer did not provide .gxt data for this antenna. We find that _ the figure provided in Annex 1 to the Technical Appendix, together with the descriptive characterization provided in Section 3.0 of the Technical Appendix, provide a sufficiently complete description of the global horn antenna on the AMC—4 space station to enable the Commission to determine whether or not the AMC—4 space station meets the Commission‘s technical requirements. 15. SES Americom‘s request for waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(g), IS GRANTED. Section 25.202(g) requires "telemetry, tracking and telecommand (TT&C) functions for U.S. domestic satellites shall be conducted at either or both edges of the allocated band(s). Frequencies, polarization and coding shall be selected to minimize interference into other satellite networks and within their own satellite system." SES Americom requests this waiver for the proposed use of telecommand carriers in the C—band at 6423.5 MHz and telemetry beacons in the C—band at 3700.5 MHz because these TT&C operations occur at the band edges of an FSS band other than the Ku—band in which it is providing service. This waiver grant is based upon the following findings: (a) AMC—4 was designed to operate with both service links and TT&C functions in the C—band; (b) SES Americom has coordinated C—band TT&C operations with adjacent satellite operators operating in the C—band; (c) AMC—4 is only authorized to operate on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis; (d) the limited nature of this grant as established by conditions 12 and 13. As a condition of granting this waiver, SES Americom must accommodate future space station networks that are compliant with Section 25.202(g). Further, SES Americom must operate AMC—4 pursuant to any existing or future coordination agreements for this location. 16. On our own motion, we waive Section 25.283(c) of the Commiussion‘s rules, 47 C.ER. § 25.283, with respect to oxidizer that will not be vented at the spacecraft‘s end of life. SES Americom states that the tank containing this oxidizer was sealed shortly after the satellite‘s launch. AMC—4 was launched on November 13, 1999, before Section 25.283(c) was adopted. Accordingly, venting would require direct retrieval of the spacecraft, which is not currently possible. Waiver is granted conditioned upon SES Americom providing, through a supplemental filing within 30 days of the date of this grant, the volume and mass of remaining oxidizer in the _ tank. 17. SES Americom has not requested approval of a post—mission disposal plan for the AMC—4 spacecraft and this authorization does not constitute approval of any such plan. 18. SES Americom‘s use of the 11.45—11.7 GHz band (space—to—Earth) is subject to footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airborne or space station assignments to take all practicable steps to

Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the AMC—4 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) shall comply with footnote US356 to United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US356 which specifies a mandatory minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters and a non— mandatory minimum and maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.). Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its possessions communicating with the AMC—4 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) shall be consistent with footnote 5.502 to the ITU Radio Regulations, which allows a minimum antenna diameter of 1.2 meters for earth stations of a geostationary satellite orbit network and specifies mandatory power limits. In the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space), receiving space stations in the fixed— satellite service shall not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with the United States Table of Frequency Allocations. 22. Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the AMC—4 space station in the 13770—13780 GHz band (Earth—to—space) shall comply with footnote US357 to United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357, which specifies that a required maximum e.i.r.p. density of emissions not exceed 71 dBW in any 6 MHz band for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit." Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its possessions communicating with the AMC—4 space station in the 13.770—13.78 GHz band (Earth—to—space) shall comply with footnote 5.503 to the ITU Radio Regulations, which specifies a required maximum e.i.r.p. density of emissions (limit is dependent on antenna diameter) for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit. * Footnote US357 places a restriction on FSS earth station operations in order to protect government operations in the band, including manned space flight. 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357.

Dual| Cwef, Safellite Pc\’l’cj Branch > NASA‘s TRMM satellite system radar in the 13.793—13.805 GHz band remains operational and is a highly valuable and visible United States asset with a broad range of international users. Accordingly, NTIA has requested cooperation from the Commission and non—Federal Government entities in providing assistance in reducing interference with the TRMM radar. Specifically, NTIA requests that FSS earth stations in the 13.793 — 13.805 GHz band located south of 39° N. and east of 110° W. operate with emission levels below —1 50 dBW/600 kHz at the TRMM space station receiver. Letter from Frederick R. Wentland, Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Spectrum Management, NTIA, to Don Abelson, Chief, International Bureau, FCC (February 28, 2002). Considering the secondary nature of the TRMM operation, NTIA‘s request is not a condition of this authorization. The Commission, however, urges all operators of earth stations accessing the AMC—4 space station in the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band to cooperate voluntarily with NASA in order to facilitate continued operation of the TRMM satellite. 5

SAT—MOD—20100623—00144 & SAT—LOA—19940310—00007 Dear Ms. Dortch: SES Americom, Inc., (°SES Americom," doing business as "SES WORLD SKIES""), by its attorneys, hereby supplements the record in the above—referenced proceedings concerning the AMC—4 spacecraft to provide information regarding the date AMC—4 commenced operations. In its grant of the modification application referenced above, the Commission indicated that the expiration date for the AMC—4 license was November 13, 2014." This date corresponds to fifteen years following the AMC—4 launch, which occurred on November 13, 1999.. However, under the Commission‘s rules, the fifteen—year period of a satellite license begins to run on the date that the satellite commences service, which is typically several weeks after its launch date.* SES WORLD SKIES®‘ practice for each of its satellites is to file a letter notifying the Commission of the date operations commenced. We have been unable to locate a copy of such a letter regarding AMC—4 in our files, but our records reflect that AMC—4 commenced operations on December 22, 1999. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Commission correct paragraph 13 of the AMC—4 Modification to reflect a license expiration date of December 22, 2014 for AMC—4. 1 SES WORLD SKIES is the commercial brand name for the integrated operations of two indirect subsidiaries of SES S.A.: SES Americom and New Skies Satellites B.V. (effective January 1, 2009). The brand name does not affect the underlying legal entities that hold Commission _ authorizations or U.S. market access rights. * File No. SAT—MOD—20100623—00144, Call Sign $2135, grant—stamped Nov. 4, 2010 (the "AMC—4 Modification"), Attachment at 4| 13. * See 47 C.F.R. § 25.121(d).
