135  Determination of frequency range options
 (1) For each product at least one lot of which was allocated to a bidder in the primary stage or secondary stage (if any) of the auction, the auction manager must determine the list of frequency range options available to the bidder that complies with this section.
 (2) The list of frequency range options must include every possible contiguous frequency range corresponding in bandwidth to the total lot bandwidth of the lots of the product allocated to the bidder in an earlier stage of the auction.
 (3) If a bidder is participating in a given assignment round for more than one product, the auction manager may determine frequency range options available to the bidder that deal with the products as a group, providing the requirement of subsection (2) is met for each individual product in the group.

3.4 GHz auction—adjustment of options if assignment stage includes leftover lots
 (4) Subsection (5) applies to the 3.4 GHz auction, if one or more leftover lots of a product were not directly allocated under Division 1 of Part 5 of this instrument.
 (5) Despite subsection (2), each frequency range option for the product that is the adjacent product (within the meaning of the marketing plan) to a leftover lot that was not directly allocated must:
 (a) include the frequency of the leftover lot; and
 (b) correspond in bandwidth to the sum of:
 (i) the total lot bandwidth of the lots of the product allocated to the bidder in an earlier stage of the auction; and
 (ii) 2.5 MHz (which is the lot bandwidth for the leftover lots).
Note: The winning bidder for this frequency range option will be allocated the leftover lot under section 145.
