5 Key Points of the Second R&O Public Safety, Non- In all but Region 2, new expands US primary to the full normal range (851 to 854 MHz). This affects reconfiguration for all of Canadian Border Region Public Safety Region 2 is smaller: 851 to MHz As many current PS licensees as possible are relocated from into new PS Pool channels >854 MHz to clear for reconfiguration If capacity > 854 MHz is lacking, frequencies will be provided in on the portion newly designated as US primary This may require a repack in the Regions with higher density usage Licensees moving to the new will convert equipment to comply with the narrower emissions mask at Sprint Nextel s expense The Region 2 & 3 dividing line is adjusted to the Ohio / PA border Licensees in the following areas get reconfigured per the standard US band plan: The three crop circles of Akron, Youngstown and Syracuse and licensees in Regions 71 & 72 (referred to as 7A & 7B in the R&O) with some height & power restrictions for 71 & 72 Areas adjacent to the border regions where licensees were deferred pending the band plan (i.e. those just outside the 140 km border regions defined by the FCC) 5

6 Key Points of the the Second R&O Current licensees on US primary frequencies reconfigure down to new and remain on US primary spectrum Licensees currently using Canadian primary spectrum get moved to new US primary spectrum ( or PS pool channels) only if all current US primary licensees are already accommodated on replacement US primary channels If US primary capacity is not available, Canadian primary licensees get Canadian primary spectrum as close as possible above the US Primary PS spectrum (roughly MHz range) licensees in the following areas get reconfigured per the standard US band plan: The three crop circles of Akron, Youngstown and Syracuse and licensees in Regions 71 & 72 (referred to as 7A & 7B in the R&O) Areas adjacent to the border regions where licensees were deferred pending the band plan (i.e. those just outside the 140 km border regions defined by the FCC) 6
