In light of the consent issued by Globalstar — see attached emails with Globalstar‘s David
Weinreich — this Modification Application seeks immediate modification of the WI2XOX license
to add the 2483.5—2500 MHz band, at .5 W.

As confirmed in the attached emails, Globalstar has consented to this band being added to the
WIZ2XOX license based on:

       (i) the .5 W ERP level, and

       (11) the assurance of Leidos that beyond the currently planned test period on this band
       during January 25—February 3, 2017, no further transmissions are currently scheduled in
       the band following that period, and that prior notification will be made to Globalstar prior
       to conducting any additional testing in the band beyond that window.

Dear Mr. Rummell,


In regard to the testing that your client has proposed, Globalstar can agree to permit the requested testing with the
understanding that the ERP of the test transmitter in the 2483.5—2500 MHz band will be 4 watt or less. Further,
Globalstar understands that the testing will be limited to the period starting on 25 January and ending on 3 February.

If there are any changes in the test scheduling or the ERP, please notify me as soon as possible so that any necessary
additional coordination can be implemented.

Thank you for your cooperation. I wish your client successful testing with useful results.

Best regards,
David weinreich

Mr. Weinreich:

Thank you very much for the update.

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.

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Rummel,

We have determined that our customer is apparently the Bridgewater Volunteer Rescue Squad located less than 1 mile
from where your client intends to perform their tests. Given the possible critical nature of the use of the Globalstar
terminal by the Rescue Squad, | am attempting to reach them by telephone so that we can set up a local coordination
mechanism between the Rescue Squad and your client.

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.

Regards,
David Weinreich

Mr. Rummel,

I am determining if we have fixed customers that might be affected by your proposed testing. I hope to have an answer
back by CoB Monday. Based on what I find out, I should be able to give the go—ahead or suggest modifications to your
test schedule.

Regards,
David Weinreich

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

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.

Best regards,
