EXHIBIT A Item 4 EastWest intends to conduct its experiments using commercially available broadcast equipment which will be modified to meet EastWest‘s particular needs. Frequency usage is to be based on available spectrum at each test location, using standard FM frequencies, if available, and AM frequencies as an alternative. Available frequencies will be searched for using test equipment to find a place where EastWest‘s operation will not interfere with existing services. A further objective of these experiments will be to determine whether such a service can be operated at a 25 KHz deviation from existing stations in metropolitan areas where clear channels may not be otherwise available. EastWest will determine whether such operations can be conducted satisfactorily using commercially available radio receivers, especially with consumer operation. Item 4(¢) Power will be limited to the minimum necessary to cover the intended service area. It is expected that the maximum output will typically be between 5 to 10 watts but, a 40 watt limit is requested. Further clarification of this item is in Exhibit B.

EXHIBIT B Item 10 ram of R rch an xperimen ion The purpose of EastWest‘s experimental program is to examine whether it would be feasible to provide radio coverage to attendees at special events using a controlled signal to cover a limited reception area. Based upon preliminary investigations, EastWest has determined that a need exists for a flexible radio service that could set up for special events or sequences of events to provide spectators or attendees with information concerning news, local information, event coverage, etc. EastWest intends to test market its system at sports events such as auto racing, sailing, running, skiing, and bicycling events, as well as, business conventions, air shows, trade shows, news events, and other gatherings where a common source of information is needed. Item 10 (b) The primary objectives of EastWest‘s initial tests will be: (1) to determine if a market exists for the proposed service; (2) to determine whether the service can be effectively provided to a limited reception area with a high signal quality without interfering with existing radio services; and (3) to determine whether such a service could

operate at a 25 kHz deviation from existing radio stations in major metropolitan areas so that attendees would be able to utilize standard radio receivers to receive the signal. TItem 10 (c) As stated previously, EastWest‘s initial research indicates that there is a considerable market for such a service. The service, if successful, could become an extremely useful way of disseminating information at large gatherings. In addition, EastWest will investigate whether the service could be used to provide computer generated station announcements, automatic data gathering, and other related items.

Exhibit C Item 14 The height above ground is requested to be variable depending upon conditions to allow a minimum of power and yet maintain adequate coverage. Part of this experiment is to determine the workable relationships to minimize possible interference with existing services. Terrain, obstacles, buildings, trees, and location of spectators will all be variables to add challenge to this test.
