(R)SATMEX is a registered trademark of SATELITES MEXICANOS
*** Confidential treatment requested by Satmex.
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 14 of 73
For the purposes of this Agreement; (i) an interruption ("Interruption"
shall be defined as any period during which a transponder fails to meet the
Performance Parameters set forth in Exhibit A) and (ii) a failure ("Failure")
shall be defined as any of the following:
a) the inability, for any period of three (3) consecutive hours, to pass
signals through a transponder when it is illuminated with any
authorized transmitted carrier,
b) an Interruption for any period of twenty four (24) consecutive hours,
or
c) ten (10) or more Interruptions of at least one (1) minute or longer
per occurrence within any period of thirty (30) consecutive days.
For purpose of this Agreement, measurement of periods of Interruption or Failure
shall commence upon the earlier of CUSTOMER's written notification to SATMEX's
Iztapalapa Earth Station or SATMEX's knowledge of the Interruption or Failure,
and CUSTOMER shall vacate its signal from the affected transponder to permit
SATMEX's verification of the existence of the Interruption or Failure. An
Interruption or Failure period ends when the affected transponder is operative
and meets the Performance Parameters. If CUSTOMER reports a transponder to be
interrupted or failed but declines to release it for testing and repair, it is
considered to be impaired, but not Interrupted or Failed.
7. RESTORATION OF A FAILED TRANSPONDER
NON-PROTECTED TRANSPONDER
In the event any non-protected transponder provided hereunder experiences a
Failure, or an event occurs that makes a Failure certain to arise after the
passage of time (as determined by SATMEX), CUSTOMER shall, as soon as possible,
notify SATMEX, confirmation in writing to follow, and SATMEX immediately will
endeavor to, subject to Availability, using commercially reasonable efforts, and
giving CUSTOMER priority other all over users that do not have Protected
Capacity and that contracted for service after the date of this Agreement, take
the following actions in the order of priority listed: (i) restore the service
on the affected transponder by using spare equipment on Satmex 5; or (ii)
restore the Service on an Available transponder of the same frequency band and
in the same coverage beam as that of the failed transponder on Satmex 5
(provided that transponder meets the Performance Parameters, it will thereafter
become the non-protected transponder, through which the Service will be
provided); or (iii) restore the Service by taking reasonable measures such as
those described under the heading "Other Capacity" below. "Protected Capacity"
means the space segment capacity that has total back-up in the same satellite or
in another SATMEX satellite, except when Failure or Interruption is due to
user's action or omission that is not a SATMEX guideline.
SATMEX will not, voluntarily allow any Interruption or Failure to occur, unless
such Interruption is necessary to maintain the health of the satellite, or is
otherwise required by governmental authorities, as reasonably determine by
SATMEX. SATMEX shall make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and
coordinate with CUSTOMER any Interruption due to maintaining the health of the
satellite, and SATMEX shall use commercially reasonably efforts to ensure that
any Interruption due to maintaining the health of the satellite causes the least
possible interference inconvenience or damage to CUSTOMER.
OTHER CAPACITY
If any portion of the Space Segment Capacity fails to meet the Performance
Parameters due to a Failure of Satmex 5, including without limitation, any such
Failure resulting from a Force Majeure Event, the SATMEX shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to find alternate satellite capacity suitable for CUSTOMER,
including the provision of intersatellite protection, if available, at rates to
be agreed upon by both parties. In such event, CUSTOMER may, in its sole
discretion accept or reject such alternative satellite capacity within
twenty-four (24) hours of SATMEX having offered such alternate satellite
capacity to CUSTOMER, and SATMEX shall have no liability whatsoever.
If Customer declines such alternate satellite capacity, it shall have the option
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 18.2 hereof.
8. USE OF THE TRANSPONDERS
The Service includes transponder management for the uplink of carriers as
set forth in Section 4 ("TRANSPONDER LOADING") of the Service Description, to
each of the transponders provided hereunder.
For purposes of this Agreement the carriers will be classified and defined as
follows:
(1) Digital Carriers: A "Digital Carrier" is a radio signal whose carrier
phase and or amplitude takes on discrete values during a modulation
symbol in
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 15 of 73
response to balanced amplitude modulation by a raised cosine (or other
industry standard) filtered impulse train representing digital
information for any purpose including but not limited to video, voice,
or data. Digital Carrier types include Binary Phase Shift Keying
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, 8 state Phase Shift Keying, 16 state
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation and other industry standard data
carrier types.
If CUSTOMER desires to transmit to any transponder provided under the
Service Description in any manner different ("Different Loading Plan") than as
specified in such transponder's initial loading plan, then the following shall
apply.
(i) If the Different Loading Plan involves Digital Carriers, then CUSTOMER
may implement such Different Loading Plan at any time, provided that

14.1 ASSIGNMENT
14.1.1 CUSTOMER's ASSIGNMENT:
CUSTOMER shall have the express right to assign this Agreement without SATMEX's
consent in connection with the merger of CUSTOMER or the sale of substantially
all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Network Systems' VSAT and/or DIRECPC business, provided that, (1)
CUSTOMER shall give SATMEX thirty (30) day's prior written notification, and (2)
any third parties which survive such merger or sale shall comply with the
requirements stated in next paragraph. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, CUSTOMER
shall not transfer, nor assign any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement to any third parties. *** without SATMEX's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Any such third parties must comply with all of SATMEX's legal, technical,
economic and other conditions and requirements under this Agreement.
14.1.2 SATMEX's ASSIGNMENT:
SATMEX shall have the express right to assign this Agreement including its
rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to its parent corporation or any
present or future affiliate or subsidiary of SATMEX, or in connection with the
merger or acquisition of its satellite business; provided, that in any such
case, such assignee also is capable of and has the right to operate Satmex 5 and
the Space Segment Capacity, and complies with the Satellite Concession to
provide the service, and possesses all other rights and assets needed to perform
this Agreement.
14.2 RESALE
In the event CUSTOMER desires to resell all or part of the capacity (part
of capacity can be resold only as part of complete transponders), CUSTOMER must
first give written notice to SATMEX.
CUSTOMER may only resell the entire Space Segment Capacity or complete
transponders constituting the Space Segment Capacity to any third party, if (i)
such resale contains a material value added component and is therefore, not a
pure resale of any portion of the capacity (for example, as part of the
provision of a VSAT network or as part of the provision of a service similar to
DIRECPC); and (ii) if such third parties agree in writing to comply with all the
legal, technical and financial conditions of this Agreement, including the
parameters and recommendations established in Paragraph 15 (NON-INTERFERENCE),
herein. With the prior written consent of SATMEX, CUSTOMER may resell the entire
Space Segment Capacity or complete transponders constituting the Space Segment
Capacity without regard to the foregoing restrictions, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that SATMEX does not have Ku1 Band
capacity Available at the time of such resale in the NAFTA beam of Satmex 5.
15. NON-INTERFERENCE
CUSTOMER's radio transmissions (and those of its uplinking agents) to the
satellite shall comply, in all material respects, with all FCC, and all other
governmental (whether international, federal, state, municipal, or otherwise)
statues, laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, directives and orders, of
any such governmental agency, body, or court (collectively "Laws") applicable to
it regarding the operation of the satellite transponder, and any backup
transponders to which CUSTOMER is given access pursuant to this Agreement and
shall not interfere with the use of any transponder or cause physical harm to
the Space Segment Capacity to which CUSTOMER is given access pursuant to this
Agreement, any other transponders, or to the satellite on which the Transponder
is located. Further, CUSTOMER will coordinate with (and will require its
uplinking agents to coordinate with) SATMEX, in accordance with procedures
reasonably established by SATMEX and uniformly applied to all users of
transponders on the satellite, its transmissions to the satellite, so as to
minimize adjacent channel and adjacent satellite interference. For purposes of
this Paragraph 16, interference shall also mean acts or omissions, which cause a
transponder to fail to meet its transponder performance parameters. Nothing in
the foregoing shall prevent CUSTOMER from using the Space Segment Capacity in
accordance with Exhibits hereto.
*** Confidential treatment requested by Satmex.
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 18 of 73
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the ground station(s) through which the
service is provided shall satisfy the technical specifications and features set
forth in the Exhibits hereto and shall fulfill among others, recommendation
ITU-R. S.580-5 and operate with agile and fractionary step frequency
synthesizers. The above are described in the technical Exhibits hereto.
16. IMPROPER ILLUMINATION.
SATMEX transmission parameters are as set forth in Exhibit B ("Ku1-Band
TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS"). In the event improper illumination of any transponder
provided under the Service Description is detected by SATMEX, CUSTOMER shall be
notified and CUSTOMER shall take immediate corrective action to stop the
improper illumination within five (5) minutes of notification from SATMEX.
Improper Illumination shall include transmissions which are other than as
described in Exhibit B ("TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS") and C ("PARAMETER
SPECIFICATIONS FOR MASTER GROUND STATIONS AND REMOTE EARTH STATIONS"),
transmissions at an incorrect frequency, transmissions at excessive power levels
or any illumination which can cause harm or interference to any transponder or
to any satellite. Nothing in the foregoing shall prevent CUSTOMER from using the
Space Segment Capacity in accordance with Exhibits hereto. Charge of ***
dollars per minute, to a maximum equal to twelve months billing per applicable
transponder per incidence, may apply for improper illumination that continues
beyond a thirty (30) minute period after notification, or attempted notification
if there is no answer at the telephone number provided by CUSTOMER. SATMEX will
exercise reasonable good faith in determining whether to apply the charge
described herein, which determination will take into consideration whether
CUSTOMER used its reasonable best efforts to resolve the problem as quickly as
possible. Furthermore, if immediate corrective action is not taken by CUSTOMER,
SATMEX shall have the right to take immediate action to protect its services or
its interests, including but not limited to suspending CUSTOMER's service on the
affected transponder, until CUSTOMER resolve such problem.
17. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
In the event CUSTOMER breaches any of its obligations in connection with
the usage procedures established in Exhibit "D" and the restrictions described
in the Agreement, including, without limitation, transponder usage,
non-interference, government regulations, preemptive rights, and no-transfer,
then SATMEX may, in its sole discretion and in addition to the exercise of its
other rights against CUSTOMER, require CUSTOMER to cease transmissions to any or
all of the affected transponder(s) provided hereunder and take any actions
necessary to enforce SATMEX's rights. CUSTOMER will pay to SATMEX all expenses
(including attorney's fees) incurred in connection with SATMEX's enforcement
against CUSTOMER arising out of CUSTOMER's use of the affected transponder(s) in
violation of this Agreement.
18. TERMINATION
The Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of its Term as follows:
18.1 In the event of the breach of any of the material terms and
conditions, representations and warranties contained herein, the
non-breaching party may terminate upon written notice to the other, if
the breaching Party does not cure its breach within thirty (30) days
after notice thereof.
18.2 In the event of a Failure, of a Non-Preemptible transponder for which
SATMEX does not provide an acceptable restoration, as provided in
Paragraph 7, within 10 days, the CUSTOMER may terminate this Agreement
with references to that transponder, without liability except for such
services as have already been received, which shall be paid to SATMEX
in accordance with this Agreement. The termination date will be
considered to be the date of the Failure.
In the event of any termination of this Agreement, SATMEX shall ***
18.3 In the event CUSTOMER does not take immediate corrective action to
stop improper illumination as established in Paragraph 16 ("IMPROPER
ILLUMINATION").
19. EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE
Except as set forth in Paragraphs 18.2 ("TERMINATION"), 20 ("CHANGES IN
OPERATIONS OR PROCEDURES"), and 22 ("FCC COMPLIANCE") hereof and Section 8 and 9
of the Service
*** Confidential treatment requested by Satmex.
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 19 of 73
Description, no early termination date is provided under the Agreement.
Therefore, in the event CUSTOMER orders the discontinuance of Service, for any
other reason, effective on any date prior to the termination date set forth in
Section 5 of the Service Description, or if the Agreement is terminated by
SATMEX due to CUSTOMER's breach with respect to the Service provided under the
Agreement prior to the termination date set forth in Section 5 of the Service
Description, an early termination charge ("Early Termination Charge") shall
apply as follows: The Early Termination Charge shall be an amount equal to the
lesser of *** or (ii) the aggregate rate for Service through the end of the Term
of Service for the affected transponder(s). Early Termination Charges shall be
due and payable upon receipt by CUSTOMER of an invoice for such charges. Early
termination charges apply regardless of whether or not Service has begun, except
if service has not been provided because *** has not been obtained in accordance
with Section 9 of the Service Description, in which case CUSTOMER shall not be
liable for the Early Termination Charge.
In the event of partial termination, the aforementioned payment shall be
applied only to the affected transponder(s).
Payment of the Early Termination Charge shall be SATMEX's sole and
exclusive remedy hereunder for any event giving rise thereto, provided, however,
that any such advance termination shall not release CUSTOMER from outstanding
balances which includes but is not limited to billed amounts, moratorium
interests and any other charges.
SATMEX reserves the right to assign the satellite capacity released due to
advance cancellation or termination to another interested party, as of the day
following the termination or cancellation date.
20. CHANGES IN OPERATIONS OR PROCEDURES
Except to the extent necessary to allow CUSTOMER to use the space segment
capacity in accordance with the Exhibits hereto, SATMEX shall have no obligation
to change or modify any of its components, operations, or procedures to be
compatible with CUSTOMER. Prior to making any changes in SATMEX's operations,
procedures, or Transmission Parameters that will or are reasonably expected to
(i) materially affect any facilities, CUSTOMER equipment, or CUSTOMER
communications system, or (ii) require their modification in order to be used
with any transponder provided pursuant to this Agreement, SATMEX shall seek
CUSTOMER'S consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. SATMEX
shall notify CUSTOMER of any such proposed change and the expected impact no
less than thirty (30) days prior to its proposed implementation. CUSTOMER and
SATMEX shall engage in good faith discussions regarding the proposed change to
find a suitable solution. Notwithstanding the above, SATMEX may implement those
changes required in order to protect the health of the satellite or transponders
provided under this Agreement and will provide CUSTOMER with as much advance
notice of such change(s) as is possible. However, if such changes would
materially affect CUSTOMER's use of the Service, CUSTOMER shall have the right,
at its option and as its exclusive remedy, within thirty (30) days after its
receipt of notice of such change, and upon thirty (30) days' notice to SATMEX,
to terminate this Agreement without liability for any Early Termination Charge.
However, If SATMEX eliminates such material effects within the thirty (30) day
notice period, the Agreement will not terminate as provided in this Paragraph
21.
21. TRANSPONDER ALLOCATION
Assignment of the specific Ku-1 Band transponder in the NAFTA beam that meet the
Performance Parameters on Satmex 5 to be used for the Service remains the sole
prerogative of SATMEX. During the term of this Agreement SATMEX shall have the
right to change any of the Ku-1 Band transponder assignments in the NAFTA beam
of Satmex 5, but shall do so only if there is a valid operational concern,
interference caused by CUSTOMER, or, in order to protect the health of the
satellite on which Service is being provided and only if the new transponder
meets the Performance Parameters. If required, SATMEX will use reasonable
efforts to give CUSTOMER not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to
CUSTOMER.
22. FCC COMPLIANCE
If, at any time a Party can no longer comply fully with all material provisions
of this Agreement because of changes to existing (as of the date of this
Agreement) U.S. Federal Communication Commission rules and International or
national regulations which are inconsistent with this Agreement, the other Party
may either (1) terminate immediately the Agreement without any liability
whatsoever by giving notice in writing within sixty (60) days of such action or
(2) negotiate with the first Party to modify the Agreement to conform with the
new commission rules and regulations.
*** Confidential treatment requested by Satmex.
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 20 of 73
If either Party elects to terminate pursuant to this Section 22, SATMEX shall
refund promptly any sums previously paid to SATMEX for Service not rendered and
CUSTOMER shall pay all due payments, with the correspondent accrued interest,
*** and any other such charges.
Each Party represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Agreement, it is
not aware of any rules and regulations of the authorities referenced in this
Paragraph 22 which are inconsistent with this Agreement and which could prevent
such Party from fully complying with all of its material obligations under this
Agreement, except for the Regulatory Approval.
23. NO POSSSESSORY INTEREST, BANKRUPTCY
CUSTOMER has, and will have, no possessory or other interest in the
transponder(s) provided pursuant to this Agreement. CUSTOMER acknowledges that:
(1) it has been advised of and fully understands the conditions and the
consideration pursuant to which SATMEX provides and CUSTOMER accepts the Service
and (2) the rates for the Service, as well as the termination charges as
provided for in Paragraph 19 ("EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE") hereof, are fair and
reasonable at the market on the date of commitment to the Service and the date
of the Agreement. SATMEX and CUSTOMER recognize that transponder space for the
provision of the service contemplated under the Agreement is a commodity in
limited supply and that those using full time transponder service, similar to
the Service provided under the Agreement, usually enter into long-term
commitments with service providers. Therefore, CUSTOMER understands that its
acceptance of the Service precludes SATMEX from accepting any other CUSTOMER for
service on the transponder(s) being used to provide Service to CUSTOMER. Because
of this, CUSTOMER concedes that a failure to fulfill CUSTOMER's obligations
under the Agreement would irreparably harm SATMEX.
24. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Nothing herein contained shall create any association, partnership, joint
venture, the relation of principal and agent, or the relation of employer and
employee between the parties hereto, it being understood that SATMEX shall
perform all services hereunder as an independent contractor.
25. PUBLICITY AND ADVERTISING
25.1 Unless SATMEX expressly consents in writing in advance for each item
of advertising or publicity, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, CUSTOMER shall not in any way or in any form
disclose, publicize or advertise in any manner(i) the fact that it is
obtaining services from SATMEX pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the
existence of this Agreement, or (iii) the pricing, terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The foregoing prohibition shall include
but not be limited to news releases, letters, correspondence,
literature, promotional materials or displays of any nature or form.
Each request for approval hereunder shall be submitted in writing to
the representative designated in writing by SATMEX; and approval, in
each instance, shall be effective only if in writing and signed by
said representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER may refer
to the fact that it is securing services from SATMEX without SATMEX's
prior approval so long as such statements are limited to a statement
of such fact and are not an endorsement of any product or service by
SATMEX.
25.2 Unless CUSTOMER expressly consents in writing in advance for each item
of advertising or publicity, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, SATMEX shall not in any way or in any form
disclose, publicize or advertise in any manner (i) the fact that it is
providing services to CUSTOMER pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the
existence of the Agreement, (iii) the pricing, terms, and conditions
of the Agreement, or (iv) information similar to that described in (i)
- (iv) above regarding any customer of CUSTOMER who is receiving
services from a SATMEX transponder. The foregoing prohibition shall
include but not be limited to news releases, letters, correspondence,
literature, promotional materials of displays of any nature of form.
Each request for approval hereunder shall be submitted in writing to
the representative designated in writing by CUSTOMER; and approval, in
each instance, shall be effective only if in writing and signed by
said representative. Nothing herein shall prevent SATMEX from
providing the COFETEL or any other governmental agency, information
concerning this Agreement as required by Law or in response to a
request for information by such Governmental Agency. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, SATMEX may refer to the fact that it is providing the
service to CUSTOMER without CUSTOMER's prior approval so long as such
statements are limited to a statement of such fact and are not an
endorsement of any product or service by CUSTOMER.

which it operates in its countries of operation. The parties hereby submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (or the courts of the State of New York if such United
States federal court does not have jurisdiction) for purposes of the subject

aim of protecting its rights derived from the arbitration proceeding pending
resolution. The petition of either of the parties to a court of law for the
protection of its rights, shall not be considered as resignation of the
obligation to submit the dispute to arbitration.

KU-BAND TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS
SATMEX 5
TRANSPONDER TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS - To assure that signals transmitted via a
SATMEX Ku1-Band Transponder will not damage or impair other signals transmitted
over SATMEX and/or adjacent satellites or other SATMEX-provided transponders,
the following transmission parameters apply:
A. TRANSMITTED CARRIERS - The transmitted carrier(s) for 36 MHz transponders
shall be within accepted industry standards and shall be confined to the usable
bandwidth of 36 MHz centered on the transponder center frequency, unless
otherwise assigned.
B. TRANSMIT POWER - SATMEX shall authorize a particular transmit power by the
transmitting earth station. For transponders operating in the saturated mode,
the authorized transmit power shall be no more than the transmit power necessary
to saturate the transponder. For transponders operating in a mode where the
power is backed off below saturation, this authorized transmit power shall not
be exceeded. During rain fades an earth station with Automatic Level Control may
exceed the transmit power authorized by the company by the amount necessary to
overcome the additional uplink loss caused by the rain.
C. POLARIZATION ISOLATION (TRANSMITTING EARTH STATION) - Isolation between
orthogonal cross-polarized signals shall be higher than *** and shall cause no
harmful interference into the cross-polarized frequencies. The polarization
adjustment of the earth station antenna relative to the satellite shall be
maintained to an accuracy of *** when polarization tracking is not employed.

ACCESS AND INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
SATMEX MEXICAN SATELLITE SYSTEM
AUGUST 1999
ACCESS PROCEDURE:
INTRODUCTION
In order to minimize harmful interference and ensure quality transmission on
SATMEX satellites, the Communication Control Center (Satmex CCC) at Iztapalapa
(PCC) and Hermosillo (ACC) will function as control stations for the SATMEX
CUSTOMER networks.
SATMEX Satellite Operations monitors SATMEX transponders to identify any
performance that deviates from the parameters prescribed by SATMEX Satellite
Engineering.
All customer-owned and operated earth stations are required to contact SATMEX
CCC prior to the start of any transmission to a SATMEX transponder. SATMEX CCC
is required to order a customer to cease transmission if such customer's signal
is interfering with or otherwise degrading other service on the spacecraft.
This document defines the procedures for introduction of new carriers into
SATMEX transponders and the steps to follow when reporting system problems to
CCC personnel and outlines the operating criteria for transmitting through
SATMEX transponders.
A list of CCC contacts and telephone numbers for use by SATMEX customers is
included.
USER PROCEDURES
ESTABLISHING NEW CARRIERS
All customers establishing new carriers for transmissions through SATMEX
Satellites, whether temporary or permanent, are required to comply with the
following procedure:
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 69 of 73
a) Provide all the required information to SATMEX Satellite Engineering for
the definition of the transmission parameters, estimated system performance
and allocated interference margin for the system to be transmitted through
SATMEX transponders. These parameters should be provided in writing before
the system is placed in operation for information and review. It should be
noted that all transmission should have proper authorization from
Government authorities and SATMEX.
b) CALL SATMEX'S CCC (▇▇ ▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (OR ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ SATM IF IN MEXICO OR
1-877-SATMEX1 TOLL FREE NUMBER FROM THE U.S.) for scheduling an antenna
line up with the satellite. For each new or modified antenna over 3 meters
in diameter, an on-site antenna pattern test should be performed.
Explain the nature of the carrier to be established: e.g., Video, Single
Channel Per Carrier, Modulation, Time Division Multiple Access, etc. and
have the following information available.
1. Downlink frequency
2. Spacecraft
3. Transponder and polarization
4. Downlink E.I.R.P.
5. Antenna data sheet (if applicable)
6. Phone number of uplink station and name of contact
NOTE: INCLUDE 24-HOUR CONTACT IF CARRIER IS PERMANENT
c) Prior to contacting SATMEX CCC at the appointed time, the uplink station
should perform the following without transmitting any signal to SATMEX
transponders.
1. Peak antenna on appropriate SATMEX spacecraft.
NOTE: Antenna pointing is the responsibility of the uplink station.
Antenna must be properly pointed prior to calling SATMEX CCC. An
improperly pointed antenna, one peaked on a sidelobe for instance,
cannot achieve correct Polarization alignment.
2. Adjust polarization as closely as possible by observing received
signals.
d) CONTACT SATMEX CCC (▇▇ ▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (OR 1 800 800 SATM, IF IN MEXICO OR
1-877-SATMEX1 FROM THE U.S.).
e) At the direction of SATMEX CCC, the carrier, frequency and power will be
established and the following parameters will be measured
1. Downlink power
2. Polarization isolation
3. Frequency
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 70 of 73
4. Bandwidth
5. Spurious emissions
6. Modulation
7. Data rate & FEC (if applicable)
The carrier must conform to prescribed parameters. If specifications cannot
be met, SATMEX CCC will direct the Transmit Station to cease radiating.
f) In the event of the Initial Loading Plan changes as stated on Exhibit C
Section 1, SATMEX will collaborate in reasonably commercial efforts with
CUSTOMER to accommodate all the operational concerns that may affect the
appropriate development of customer business.
INTERFERENCE REPORTING
All interference incidents will be reported directly to SATMEX CCC. Timely
reporting of interference problems increases the chance of identification. The
following procedure is to be used by the customer:
a) Obtain the transmission parameters, estimated system performance and
allocated interference margin for the system experiencing the interference.
This information will be required for analyzing and resolving the
interference problems.
b) Prior to initiating an interference report, customers shall check all
uplink facilities under their control or their customer's control to insure
that the problem is not self-induced.
c) Check interference level against carrier level. Refer to system design
criteria. Insure that the affected carrier has sufficient carrier-to
interference margin.
d) If possible, check with a second earth station to confirm the interference.
If the customer does not have a second earth station, SATMEX CCC will
confirm such interference.
e) Have the following information available:
1. Satellite, transponder, polarization
2. Date and time discovered or started
3. Frequency
4. Traffic affected - type and customer
SATMEX PROPRIETARY
(SATMEX LOGO) Contract No. 319-I
Page 71 of 73
It is important to provide as much information as possible, as SATMEX shall
report all incidents to COFETEL (as defined in Paragraph 13 of the General
Terms and Conditions). SATMEX CCC personnel will also log the incident and
begin troubleshooting procedure to identify and eliminate, If possible, the
source of the interfering signal.
f) Report the incident to SATMEX CCC (▇▇ ▇)▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (or ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ SATM if in
Mexico or 1-877-SATMEX1 FROM THE U.S.).
g) At the direction of SATMEX CCC some tests may be performed.
SYSTEM OPERATION CRITERIA
- CROSS-POLARIZATION ISOLATION
The earth station cross polarization isolation for uplink and downlink
should be > or = 30 dB on axis.
- ANTENNA RADIATION PATTERN
The antennas should comply with the CCIR-580 recommendation.

TRANSMITTER LOCATION SYSTEM SERVICE (TLS).
The process of locating interfering signals usually starts with a call from
a customer advising the satellite operator that their traffic is being
disrupted. At this point, the satellite operator usually performs a quick
check of the Customer's transponder to see if anything else is amiss, as
discussed above. If the CCC monitor personnel cannot find the interference
source quickly, then it is time to begin a TLS search for an interfering
signal. Interferometry Department (I.D.). will take action on this matter.
The TLS technique employs signals propagated through the affected satellite
and an adjacent satellite to determine crossing lines of position on the
Earth, thus locating the interferor.
There are several parameters to be considered and met to perform positive
location using the TLS technique.
Satellite ephemeredes data (intf. & adj.).
External forces.
Calibrators will be near interferor.
Sidelobe level must be high enough.
Interference must be at Ku Band.
No presence of signal in adjacent satellite.
Database up dated.
Modulation of signal
Signal bandwidth.
Interferometry Department (I.D.). will then investigate the IRF situation and
respond to the earth station operator to keep him advised of the situation with
a formal message whenever significant progress has been made.
