 (a) at frequencies that are within that part, or those parts, of the spectrum; and
 (b) within the area or areas specified in the declaration;
unless:
 (c) the licence is issued as mentioned in section 153L (which deals with re‑allocation of spectrum by issuing spectrum licences); or
 (d) at the start of the re‑allocation period, the licence had already been allocated under subsection 62(1).
