H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION            AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
      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.
     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.
     2300 ——— Authority is granted to operate this station by remote control provided that: (1)the parameters of the transmissions
              of this station monitored at the remote control point, and the operational functions sufficient to ensure that the
              operations of this station are in full compliance with the station authorization at all times; (2) upon detection by
              the grantee, or upon notification from the Commission, of a deviation of the operation of this station,
              transmissions shall be immediately suspended until the deviation is corrected, except that transmissions
              concerning the immediate safety oflife or property may be conducted for the duration of such emergency; and (3)
              the grantee shall have available, at all times, the technical personnel necessary to perform the technical servicing
              and maintenance of this station expeditiously. See also Public Notice "The International Bureau Provides
              Guidance Concerning the Relocation of Earth Station Remote Control Points", DA 06—978 (rel. May 4, 2006).
     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).
     9659 ——— The licensee is afforded 30 days from the date of issuance of this license to decline it as conditioned. Failure to
              respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned.

H) Special and General Provisions
   A)This RADIO STATION            AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general
     conditions:
   900402 ——— Any transmissions in the 27.5—28.35 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band are on a secondary basis with respect
              to previously authorized terrestrial stations. Prior to commencing operation ViaSat must coordinate its earth
              station operations with terrestrial licensees and must protect any terrestrial stations identified as affected as a
              result of the coordination. After ViaSat has completed coordination and the provisions adopted in FCC 16—89
              go into force, this earth station is considered grandfathered in this band pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136(a)(3).

              install such marking or lighting as the Commission mayrequire under the provisions of Section 303(q) ofthe
              Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 303(q).

              Neither this authorizationnor the right granted bythis authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to
              anyperson, firm, companyor corporation without the written consent of the Commission. This authorizationis

              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliance with environmental
              requirements set forthin Section 1.1307 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307.

              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the stationis in compliance with the Federal

              The following condition applies when this authorization permits constructionof or modifies the construction
              permit of a radio station.

              This authorization shall be automaticallyforfeited if the station is not ready for operation by the required date of
              completion of construction unless an application for modification ofauthorization to request additional time to
              complete construction is filed by that date, togetherwith a showing that failure to complete construction by the
              required date was due to factors not under control ofthe grantee.

              Licensees are required to pay annual regulatoryfees related to this authorization. The requirement to
              collect annual regulatoryfees fromregulatees is contained in Public Law103—66, "The Omnibus Budget
              Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatoryfees, which are likelyto change each fiscal year, are used
              to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and
              rulemaking a        ties. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the newregulatory
              fee rates. Receive only earthstations are exempt from payment of regulatoryfees.
