COORDINATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF THE NETHERLANDS AND OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA TO ESTABLISH TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-11 AT 120.8 DEG. W, NSS-6 AT 125 DEG. W AND OF PACSTAR-L4 AT 121 DEG. W 1. GENERAL This document describes the conditions agreed between the Administrations of The Netherlands and of Papua New Guinea in order to establish technical compatibility between the overlapping frequency assignments in the C-band registered with the ITU at 120.8 DEG. W under the designation of NSS-11, at 125 DEG. W under the designation of NSS-6 and those registered with the ITU at 121 DEG. W under the designation of PACSTAR-L4. Specifically, it addresses the following frequency assignments: NSS-11: Frequency assignments of CR/C/269 associated with the beams having the following designations: C1R, GLB. NSS-6: Frequency assignments of CR/C/265 associated with the beams having the following designations: C1R, GLB. PACSTAR-L4: Frequency assignments of CR/C/354 associated with the beams having the following designations: 6OH, 6OV, 6HH, 6HV, 6NH, 6NV, 4HH, 4HV, 4NH, 4NV and 40M. 2. TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-11 AND THOSE OF PACSTAR-L4 In order to ensure technical compatibility between the above frequency assignments, the Administration of The Netherlands agrees not to implement any C-band frequency assignment registered under the NSS-11 ITU filings which are co-frequency with those of PACSTAR-L4 identified above. Based on the above conditions, both parties agree that technical compatibility is achieved and that coordination is complete between the aforementioned frequency assignments. 3. TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-6 AND THOSE OF PACSTAR-L4 In order to ensure technical compatibility between the above frequency assignments, both parties agree to the following conditions: (a) In the frequency bands where their satellite network filings have a frequency overlap, the PNG and The Netherlands operators may freely transmit digital carriers whose power density at the transmit earth station antenna flange does not exceed -2.7 dBW/4kHz in association with a 29-25log(0) sidelobe envelope; (b) In the frequency bands where their satellite network filings have a frequency overlap, the PNG and The Netherlands operators may freely transmit carriers with a downlink EIRP density that does not exceed -29.5 dBW/Hz (c) Both parties can transmit TV/FM in overlapping C-band subject to the following limits: Uplink power into the transmit earth station antenna flange: 27 dBW in association with a 29-25log(0) sidelobe envelope; Downlink EIRP: 44 dBW. The details of the frequencies of the TV/FM transmissions at 121 DEG. W will be provided by PNG to the Administration of The Netherlands at their request when The Netherlands needs to plan its overlapping C-band transmissions at 125 DEG. W. Once the Papua New Guinea satellite at 121 DEG. W and the Netherlands satellite at 125 DEG. W are simultaneously operating in the overlapping C-band, in the event that any party identifies additional TV/FM requirements, both parties agree to meet within 10 calendar days of the request by the interested party. The parties will make a good faith effort to arrive within three calendar days to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both satellite systems. This provision does not preclude a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved via correspondence within the intended time frame. The Netherlands agrees to provide information on the TT&C frequencies to be used at 125 DEG. W if these will operate in C-band. The Netherlands further agrees to coordinate with Papua New Guinea these TT&C operations in case there is a frequency overlap with the PACSTAR-L4 satellite network. Both parties agree that if the conditions identified in this agreement need to be modified, the parties will work in good faith to arrive at an operational solution that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both Administrations within a reasonable time frame. Based on the above conditions, both parties agree that technical compatibility is achieved and that coordination is complete between the aforementioned frequency assignments. 4. CONCLUSION The Administration of the Netherlands agrees to submit to the ITU its agreement under Article 9.7 of the Radio Regulations for all the groups of frequency assignments of PACSTAR-L4 associated with the beams having the following designations: 6OH, 6OV, 6HH, 6HV, 6NH, 6NV, 4HH, 4HV, 4NH, 4NV and 4OM. The agreement to the ITU is given for the coordination of the C-band frequency assignments of PACSTAR-L4 mentioned above and those overlapping frequency assignments of the NSS-6 (125 DEG. W.L.) and NSS-11 (1120.8 DEG. W) satellite networks. EXHIBIT B INTERSYSTEM COORDINATION AGREEMENTS (340 DEG. E AND 57 DEG.

Note 2: Intelsat identified that certain carriers may suffer excess interference from NSS operations at an e.i.r.p density of -36 dBW/Hz on the East Hemi beam. The aggregate bandwidth occupied by these carriers is up to 6 MHz. NSS will give Intelsat one month advance notice of its planned transmissions at these frequencies at levels above -38 dBW/Hz. Both parties agree to work in good faith in order to arrive within 5 calendar days, following Intelsat's request, to a mutually acceptable arrangement that satisfies the operational and service needs associated with the affected Intelsat carriers. The solution should not constrain NSS e.i.r.p density to less than -38 dBW/Hz into these 6MHz of bandwidth. 2 TABLE 1C. C-BAND UPLINK POWER DENSITY LEVELS AND DOWNLINK E.I.R.P.

Cerra Eric Villette Vice President Manager Intelsat LLC Frequency Management New Skies Satellites N.V. AGREEMENT BETWEEN NEW SKIES SATELLITES N.V. (NSS) AND INTELSAT LLC (INTELSAT) TO ESTABLISH TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN NSS SATELLITE NETWORKS AT 57 DEG. E AND INTELSAT SATELLITE NETWORKS IN THE ORBITAL ARC OF 60 DEG. E -66 DEG. E 1.0 GENERAL This agreement is an addendum to the agreement established between INTELSAT and New Skies Satellites N.V. (NSS) dated 20 November 1998 regarding technical compatibility between the satellite systems operated by both entities. Specifically, the set of conditions apply to the INTELSAT satellite networks and the NSS satellite networks in the orbital arc from 57 DEG. E to 66 DEG. E as shown in Annex Nos. 1 and 2 for the INTELSAT and NSS satellite networks respectively. 2.0 RESOLUTION OF MUTUAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN NSS NETWORKS AND INTELSAT NETWORKS 2.1 GENERAL CONDITIONS The uplink power density limits contained herein are based on the assumption of an earth station antenna radiation pattern that conforms to a 29 - 25 log (0) sidelobe envelope pattern. INTELSAT and NSS agree that those transmit earth station antennas which do not conform to this envelope pattern will have a corresponding adjustment in the allowable uplink power density limit. INTELSAT and NSS agree to accept the risk of assuming a 29 - 25 log (0) sidelobe pattern for all receive earth stations for the purpose of interference calculation when their respective satellite networks are nominally separated by three degrees or more. Both parties agree that there are no restrictions on transmission of their respective analog and digital carriers when their respective satellite networks have nominal geocentric separations greater than six (6) degrees. Both parties agree that, if operational experience, or the emergence of new services not envisioned at the time of this agreement shows that the notification thresholds identified in this agreement need to be modified then mutual agreement is required before any changes are implemented. 3.0 CONDITIONS FOR MUTUAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN INTELSAT AT 60 DEG. E AND NSS-8 AT 57 DEG. E 3.1 TRANSMISSION OF ANALOGUE TELEVISION (TV/FM) CARRIERS AT C BAND AND KU BAND INTELSAT and NSS agree to the following conditions for operation of their respective TV/FM carriers: a) INTELSAT and NSS will make reasonable efforts within their ability to ensure that their respective TV/FM carriers are modulated with video signals at all times in addition to the energy dispersal signal; b) The technical information on INTELSAT's TV/FM carriers on the operational INTELSAT satellite(s) at 60 DEG. E is given in Annex No. 3; 1 c) The technical information on the NSS's TV/FM carriers to be operated on the NSS-8 at 57 DEG. E is given in Annex No. 3. At least three months prior to the bringing into operation of the NSS-8 satellite, NSS will confirm to INTELSAT the technical information of its planned TV/FM carriers to be operated on the NSS-8 satellite network. For those carriers for which the center frequencies are different from those listed for the 57 DEG. E location in Attachments 3 and 4 of the agreement established between INTELSAT and New Skies Satellites N.V. (NSS) dated 20 November 1998, or are not in the center of the guardbands between the transponders of the Intelsat satellite at 60 DEG. E, the procedure described in d) below will apply; d) In the event that any party identifies additional analog TV requirements other than those contained in Annex No. 3, both parties agree to meet within 10 calendar days of the request by the interested party for the purpose of making a good faith effort to arrive within three calendar days to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both satellite systems. This provision does not preclude a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved via correspondence within the intended time frame; e) Each party agrees to inform the other within three business days after so requested, as to whether any of its TV/FM carriers may be considered as being permanently deactivated. In this case, the use of the same center frequency for a new TV/FM carrier is subject to the provision in item d) above. 3.2 TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL CARRIERS AT C BAND Both parties agree that the following conditions will be applied to the operation of digital carriers at C band in the part of the frequency band where the INTELSAT satellite networks at 60 DEG. E and NSS-8 satellite network at 57 DEG. E have overlapping transponders: a) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with an uplink power density of -42.0 dBW/Hz. b) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of -36.0 dBW/Hz. c) For all channels except those connected to the global coverage beam on the NSS-8 and Intelsat satellites(1), downlink e.i.r.p. densities above -36 dBW/Hz and up to -32 dBW/Hz may be radiated subject to the following procedure: both parties agree to notify each other with at least three business days advance notice the frequency bands to be occupied by their digital carriers that require a downlink e.i.r.p. density greater than -36.0 dBW/Hz and less than or equal to -32.0 dBW/Hz. This notification will include the downlink carrier e.i.r.p. density, the downlink beam and the occupied bandwidth of the carrier. d) Following the receipt of the notification in c) above, if the notified party identifies that the operations at the notified density level will cause harmful interference to its sensitive carriers, it shall respond within two business days and provide supporting data concerning the potential harmful interference situation. Both parties will work in good faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable operating arrangement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both parties, within 5 business days following the reply to the notification. 3.3 TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL CARRIERS AT KU BAND ---------- (1) Channels 20, 22 and 24 on the NSS-8 satellite Channels 10 11 and 12 on the Intelsat satellite 2 Both parties agree to the following conditions applicable to the operation of digital carriers Ku band for the INTELSAT satellite networks at 60 DEG. E and NSS-8 satellite network at 57 DEG. E. a) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with an uplink power density of -45.0 dBW/Hz. b) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of -26 dBW/Hz. c) For the bands corresponding to those of the NSS-8 transponders identified with "H" in Figure 1, both parties can transmit digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of up to -22.0 dBW/Hz. When Intelsat has its satellite beam(s) pointed in such a manner that they overlap with several of the NSS-8 satellite downlink service areas, the bands within which the limit of -22 dBW/Hz applies to Intelsat shall be the ones which are identified with an "H" for all the NSS-8 overlapping beams. d) For the cases identified in c) above, both parties agree to notify each other with at least three business days advance notice the frequency bands to be occupied by their digital carrier that transmit a downlink e.i.r.p. density greater than -26 dBW/Hz and less than or equal to -22.0 dBW/Hz. This notification will include the downlink carrier e.i.r.p. density, the downlink beam and the occupied bandwidth of the carrier. e) If any party identifies the need to modify the set of transponders which have been agreed for transmission of digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of up to -22.0 dBW/Hz for the transmission of such carriers over a wide bandwidth, it shall notify the other party at least ten business days before the implementation of the modification. For transmission of digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of up to -22.0 dBW/Hz over a small proportion of the transponder bandwidth section 3.5 will be applied. f) Following this notification, the notified party shall make best efforts through the use of mitigating actions to ensure that its operations of sensitive carriers are compatible with the notifying party's operations at a downlink e.i.r.p. density level of -22.0 dBW/Hz in the band(s) notified in e) above. Mitigating actions may include, as appropriate, but not be limited to: operate in the concerned carrier(s) in the opposite polarization, change the carrier(s) central frequency, revise the carrier(s) transmission parameters. g) If, following the receipt of the notification in e) above, the notified party determines that the corresponding band is in operation over the overlapping service area and the available mitigating options will not accommodate the notifying party's operations at the higher density level, it shall respond within five business days and provide supporting data concerning the potential harmful interference situation including the actions considered under f) above. Both parties will work in good faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both parties within 5 business days, following the reply to the notification. h) Both parties agree that the application of e) and g) above could result in a higher number of transponders in the "H" stage than the one shown in figure 1. 3.4 GRAND FATHERING OF HIGH POWER DENSITY CARRIERS The carriers on NSS-703 at 57 DEG. E and IS-904 at 60 DEG. E that exceed the notification levels or, for the case of transponders not subject to notification levels, exceed the maximum density levels specified in sections 3.2 and 3.3 above at the time of the transition to the NSS-8 satellite will be grandfathered. The information on these transmissions will be exchanged two weeks prior to the transition at the latest and included in Annex 5. 3 3.5 NON CONFORMING OPERATIONS In the event that either party identifies the need to transmit digital carriers at uplink power densities and/or downlink e.i.r.p. densities greater than the upper limits stated in the sections 3.2 and 3.3 above, as applicable, both parties agree to meet within 10 calendar days of the other party's request for the purpose of making a good faith effort to arrive within three calendar days to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both satellite systems. This provision does not preclude a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved via correspondence within the intended time frame; 3.6 PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CARRIERS ON BOTH SYSTEMS In the event that a party notifies the other that harmful interference is caused to its traffic and is considered to come from the satellite of the other operator, both parties agree to work in good faith in order to arrive within 5 calendar days, following the request of the notification, to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both parties. 3.7 PSEUDO BEACON CARRIERS FOR THE NSS-8 SATELLITE AT 57 DEG. E NSS indicated that they have a requirement to transmit unmodulated tracking beacons, so called pseudo beacons, in C and Ku band at the edge of some the NSS-8 communication channels. The planned frequencies and transmission parameters for these carriers are included in Annex 6. NSS will confirm to Intelsat the characteristics of the beacons at their next meeting or through correspondence. 3.8 COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN COMMUNICATION CARRIERS AND TT&C CARRIERS The NSS-8 satellite at 57 DEG. E channel 12 overlaps with the telecommand and telemetry carriers of the INTELSAT satellite at 60 DEG. E. In order to ensure compatibility between the telecommand and telemetry carriers of the INTELSAT satellite at 60 DEG. E and the communication carriers on the NSS satellite at 57 DEG. E, NSS agrees to limit the uplink power and/or downlink e.i.r.p. of digital carriers at 57 DEG. E to the following levels: o Uplink: 18.0 dBW/800kHz in the band 6172.1 - 6177.9 MHz o Downlink: -45 dBW/Hz in the band 3947.1 - 3952.9 MHz in the direction of the INTELSAT telemetry receiving earth stations whose location will be given by INTELSAT upon NSS request. The NSS-8 TT&C characteristics are provided in Annex 7. 4. CONDITIONS FOR MUTUAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN INTELSAT AT 62 DEG. E, 63 DEG. E, 64 DEG. E & 66 DEG. E AND NSS-8 AT 57 DEG. E The conditions to ensure mutual compatibility between the NSS satellites at 57 DEG. E and the Intelsat satellites at 62 DEG. E, 64 DEG. E and 66 DEG. E described in the agreement between Intelsat and NSS dated 20 November 1998 remain in force and are extended to the Intelsat satellite networks at the latter locations and included in Annex 1, with respect to NSS satellite networks in Annex 2. 4 5. CONCLUSIONS Based on the above conditions both parties agree that technical compatibility is achieved and that coordination is complete between the satellite networks covered in this agreement and referenced in Annex Nos. 1 and 2. Both parties agree to inform their respective Administrations accordingly. 5 ANNEX 1: INTELSAT FILINGS IN IOR (60E, 62E, 64E AND 66E) List of notifications - space station - received and published in part 1-5 of the WIC/BR IFIC (Space Services), for which information has been communicated in application of the provisions of Article 11/13 of the Radio Regulations
