It looks like we are close to wrapping this up, and we appreciate your identifying the remaining steps. 1

In that regard, I wanted to mention again that the initial testing date that the company must be ready for in the near—term is next Wednesday, January 25. Accordingly, we would appreciate any input as to how we can help facilitate finalizing this consent prior to that date. For example, Leidos‘ Joe Waddell (cec:d on this email) is available for any phone discussions, and if necessary, to meet face—to—face with the rescue squad personnel, in order to coordinate with them and keep them in the loop as testing proceeds.

I will get in touch with you as soon as | have contacted the Rescue Squad. | believe a local arrangement will be the most effective in avoiding any possible interference problem.

From: Rummel, Jeffrey [mailto:Jeffrey.Rummel@arentfox.com|] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 9:43 AM To: David Weinreich Subject: RE: Leidos, Inc. — FCC File No. 0120—EX—CN—2016 — Request for Consent to Operate within 2483—2500 MHz Mr. Weinreich: Just to clarify — The FCC has agreed to add the 2483—2500 MHz band back to the license once Globalstar‘s consent has been obtained — so we would appreciate wrapping this up so there is time to modify the license accordingly. Best regards, Jeff Jeffrey E. Rummel Partner Arent Fox LLP | Attorneys at Law 1717 K Street, NW Washington, DC 20006—5344 202.715.8479 pirect | 202.857.6395 rax jeffrey.rummel@arentfox.com | www.arentfox.com From: Rummel, Jeffrey Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 9:36 AM To: ‘David Weinreich‘ <David.Weinreich@globaistar.com> Subject: Leidos, Inc. — FCC File No. 0120—EX—CN—2016 — Request for Consent to Operate within 2483—2500 MHz Mr. Weinreich: Good morning! Just touching base on behalf of my client Leidos to confirm the terms under which Globalstar is willing to consent to the extremely limited tests required by Leidos within 2483—2500 MHz under the experimental license issued under File No. 0120—EX—CN—2016. (Please note the license has now been issued under call sign WI2XOX — see attached grant) Now that the license has been granted, and due to the critical importance of confirming Leidos‘ ability to conduct the very limited testing within 2483—2500 MHz to support government contract activity, this email summarizes the various items that Leidos has confirmed to mitigate any concerns: Limiting Operations to Ground—Based Operations — Leidos is willing to limit its operations for this experiment within the 2483—2500 MHz band to ground—based operations within 1km of the stated centerpoint coordinates — such ground—based operations are authorized at Location 2 of the attached license. Further Limiting the ERP of the Ground—Based Operations

— Leidos is willing to employ in—line attenuation to achieve an acceptable level of ERP at the antenna of /; Watt or less (reduced from the authorized ERP of 1W), for the 2483—2500 MHz range, which Leidos believes would satisfy your stated threshold limits. Very Limited Date Window Currently Required for Testing — For the testing to support the stated government contract within this range, Leidos currently requires only a testing window of only January 25—February 3, 2017. No further transmissions are currently scheduled on the 2483—2500 MHz band following this test period. Prior notification would be made with your office prior to conducting any additional testing in the 2483—2500 MHz band beyond that window. Very Limited Time Duration Required for the Transmissions in the Band — Leidos will only be transmitting for a very brief durations in the band. Testing to support the contract will conclude with the successful transmission of only 3x / hour video file transfers which Leidos anticipates to be completed within only a 2 hour window that will fall within the 10 day test period. Testing is currently anticipated between the hours of 5AM and 8PM Monday through Sunday, however typically within the hours of Sam and 4pm. Terrain and Ability to Move the Target Antenna — The operations are located in a valley, and such terrain will be helpful in mitigating concerns regarding interference. Additionally, Leidos is willing to move the target ground—based antenna at the Western—most end of the runway, providing an almost additional 4 mile buffer zone for transmitting. Real Time Communication with Stop Buzzers Available — Leidos will provide a stop buzzer to allow for real—time communications with Leidos personnel conducting the test, for any issue that may arise. Willingness to Discuss Reasonable Payments and Other Procedures — As previously explained, although not required under FCC rules or policy, Leidos is willing to consider reasonable payments to Globalstar for the day (or perhaps just a few hours) to conduct its testing. Other procedures, such as monitor—before—send, can also be considered if helpful to Globaistar. Leidos trusts that these factors will allow Globaistar to offer its consent for these very limited tests. It would be appreciated if you could provide Globalstar‘s confirmation of consent at your earliest convenience. Because it is imperative that Leidos be able to conduct the testing in this range, if further discussion is required please let me know as soon as possible so that we can wade through any remaining issues.
