            conditions:
            1010 ——— Applicable to all receiving frequency bands. Emission designator indicates the maximum bandwidth of received
                    signal at associated station(s).        Maximum EIRP and maximum EIRP density are not applicable to receive
                    operations.
            1900 ——— Applicable to all transmitting frequency bands. Authority is granted to transmit any number of RF carriers with
                    the specified parameters on any discrete frequencies within associated band in accordance with the other terms
                    and conditions of this authorization, subject to any additional limitations that may be required to avoid
                    unacceptable levels of inter—satellite interference.

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION            AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
     2010 ——— This authorization is issued pursuant to the Commission‘s Second Report and Order adopted June 16, 1972 (35
              FCC 2d 844) and Memorandum, Opinion and Order adopted December 21, 1972 (38 FCC 2d 665) in Docket No.
              16495 and is subject to the policies adopted in that proceeding.
     2916 ——— Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety
              guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the
              reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station‘s
              power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines.
     2938 ——— Upon completion of construction, each licensee must file with the Commission a certification including the
              following information: (1) name of the licensee, (2) file number of the application, (3) call sign of the antenna, (4)
              date of the license, (5) certification that the facility as authorized has been completed, (6) certification that each
              antenna facility has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern specified in Section 25.209, and (7) certification
              that the station is operational (including the date of commencement of service) and will remain operational during
              the license period unless the license is submitted for cancellation.
     3219 ——— All existing transmitting facilities, operations and devices regulated by the Commission must be in compliance
              with the Commission‘s radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines, pursuant to Section 1.1307(b)(1) through (b)(3)
              of the Commission‘s rules, or if not in compliance, file an Environmental Assessment (EA) as specified in Section
              1.1311. See 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) (5).
     5208 ——— The licensee shall 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. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing.
              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/oet/rfsafety) 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.
     9661 ——— The 17.8 — 20.2 GHz band is shared with U.S. Government space stations and associated earth stations in the
              Fixed—Satellite Service. The satellite network of which this is a cooperating earth station is subject to
              coordination under US334 and operation of this earth station will be subject to any technical constraints resulting
              from this coordination.
    90133 ——— Operations with the point of communication ALSAT or Permitted list must comply with the routine licensing
              provisions of parts 25 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

    90348 ——— SES—15‘s operations in the 27.5—28.35 GHz frequency band is on a secondary basis. This band is designated on a
              primary basis to the Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS). Accordingly, SES must not cause harmful
              interference to LMDS stations authorized in the 27.5—28.35 GHz frequency band, and must immediately cease
              operations upon notification of such harmful interference.
    90349 ——— The operations of SES—15 to and from the United States and associated earth stations must comport with the
              applicable limits in 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.138 of the Commission‘s rules, unless SES coordinates any non—conforming
              operations with the operations of U.S.—licensed geostationary orbit space stations within 6 degrees of the 129.15°
              W.L. orbital location.

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION            AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
    90350 ——— Earth station operators in the United States seeking access to SES—15 for direct—to—home services may do so only
              after obtaining an earth station license that includes authority to receive direct—to—home services via the SES—15
