2 GHz operation on the following conditions:


1. All operations shall be on an unprotected, non—interference basis to both government and non—
government operations.


2. In the event of any harmful interference as a result of operations under this grant of STA, USN
shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and shall immediately
inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event.


3. Operations will be limited to the transmit maximum eirp level 68 dBW and maximum eirp
density level 54.9 dBW/4kHz with emission designator 80KOG2D and receive with emission
designator 236KOG2D.


4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at
USN‘s own risk.


5. USN will inform NTIA (Skotler@ntia.doc.gov, 202—482—7983) and the FCC (Paul.Blais@ 202—
