              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 ofinter—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 of life 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).
     2500 ——— With respect to potential co—channel interference to or from terrestrial microwave radio stations: receive
              frequency band(s) listed in Section B of this authorization have been cleared for transmissions from and transmit
              frequency band(s) listed in Section B have been cleared for transmission to satellites located in the portion of the
              geostaionary satellite orbit specified in Section D for the emissions designated in Section B.
     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.

    B) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the additional conditions specified below:
              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the statements contained in the application are
              true and that the undertakings described will be carried out in goodfaith.

              This authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of
              marking or lighting of the antennasystem should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to
              install such markingor lighting as the Commission may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) of the
              Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 303(q).

              Neither this authorization nor the right granted by this authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to
              any person, firm, company or corporation without the written consentof the Commission. This authorization is
              subject to the right ofuse or control by the government ofthe United States conferred by Section 706 ofthe
              Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 706. Operation of this station is governed by Part 25 of the Commission‘s

              This authorization shall not vest in the licensee any right to operate this station nor any right in the use ofthe
              designated frequencies beyond the term ofthis license, nor in any other manner than authorized herein.

              This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that thestation is in compliance with environmental
              requirements set forth in 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 station is in compliance with the Federal
              Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as set forth in Section 17.4 ofthe Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R.§
              174.

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

              This authorization shall be automatically forfeited 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, together with a showing that failure to complete construction by the

              Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used
              to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and
              rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory
              fee rates. Receiveonly earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees.
