The antenna information was loaded into RoofMaster®, an MPE predictive analysis tool by Waterford Consultants, LLC. 4.1 Analysis Locations: Number of Elevations Analyzed: 4  Upper Roof Level  Main Roof Level  Balcony Level  Ground Level  A study at the Lower Roof and Adjacent Roofs levels was not required as the study at the Balcony level shows that the MPE limit is below the General Population MPE limit on the Lower Roof and Adjacent Roofs levels. Page 9 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 4.2 Antenna Inventory: The following table shows all transmitting antennas and contains the technical data used to simulate the power density that may be encountered with all antennas simultaneously operating at full rated power with the exception of any excluded antennas cited in this document. If Co-Locator antennas exist and the use of “Unknown” as an antenna model that means the specific antenna details could not be secured, generic antennas, frequencies, and Tx powers were used for modeling. The assumptions used are based on past experience with communications carriers. Z-height represents the distance from the nearest walking surface to the Centerline of the antenna. The antenna Z-heights listed above are referenced to Top of the Upper Roof, Main Roof, Balcony and Ground Levels.

Page 30 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 7 Appendix A: FCC Compliance and RF Safety Policies In August of 1997, the FCC published OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 to regulate methods for evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields incorporate two categories of limits; namely “Controlled” (a.k.a. Occupational) and “Uncontrolled” (a.k.a. General Public). The guidelines offer suggested methods for evaluating fixed RF transmitters to ensure that the controlled and uncontrolled limits deemed safe by the FC for human exposure are not exceeded. OET Bulletin 65 recommended guidelines are intended to allow an applicant to “make a reasonably quick determination as to whether a proposed facility is in compliance with the limits.” In addition, the guidelines offer alternate supplementary considerations and procedures such as field measurements and more detailed analysis that should be used for multiple emitter situations. These guidelines define RF as emissions in the frequency range of 300 kHz to 100 GHz. The FCC define Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits within this frequency range based on limits recommended by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). As shown in Table 1 of Appendix A, the averaging time for Occupational/Controlled exposures is 6 minutes, while the averaging time for general population/uncontrolled exposures is 30 minutes. As an illustration of the application of time-averaging to Occupational/Controlled exposure consider the following. The relevant interval for time-averaging for Occupational/Controlled exposures is six minutes. This means, for example, that during any given six-minute period a worker could be exposed to two times the applicable power density limit for three minutes as long as he or she were not exposed at all for the preceding or following three minutes. Similarly, a worker could be exposed at three times the limit for two minutes as long as no exposure occurs during the preceding or subsequent four minutes, and so forth. Page 31 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 The specific MPE limits defined by the FCC are as follows: Frequency Range [MHz] Electric Field Strength (E) [V/m] Magnetic Field Strength (H) [A/m] Power Density (S) [mW/Cm^2] Averaging Time |E|^2, |H|^2 or S [minutes] 0.3 - 3.0 614 1.63 100* 6 3.0 - 30 1842/f 4.89/f 900/f^2* 6 30 - 300 61.4 0.163 1 6 300 - 1,500 - - f/300 6 1,500 - 100,000 --5 6 Frequency Range [MHz] Electric Field Strength (E) [V/m] Magnetic Field Strength (H) [A/m] Power Density (S) [mW/Cm^2] Averaging Time |E|^2, |H|^2 or S [minutes] 0.3 - 3.0 614 1.63 100* 30 3.0 - 30 842/f 2.19/f 180/f^2* 30 30 - 300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300 - 1,500 - - f/1500 30 1,500 - 100,000 --1 30 f = frequency *Plane-wave equivalent power density Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposure Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Table 1: The specific MPE limits defined by the FCC The FCC states that “Occupational/ Controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Limits for Occupational/ Controlled exposure also apply in situations when an individual is transient through a location where Occupational/ Controlled limits apply provided he or she is made aware of the potential for exposure.” For General Population/ Uncontrolled limits, the FCC states that “General Population/ Uncontrolled exposures apply in situations in which the general public may be exposed, or in which persons that are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not fully be aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.” For purposes of this analysis, all limits are evaluated against the Power Density limits. Typical guidelines for determining whether Occupational/ Controlled limits can be applied include ensuring the environment (such as a rooftop) as limited/controlled access via locked doors or physical barrier that are preferably controlled by a landlord that is aware of the situation and can inform anyone going through the locked door of the existence of the RF emissions. Such notification/awareness is typically accomplished by means of signage on the door, or other access to the area of concern, as well as signage on or near the antennas. Examples of such signs include the following: Page 32 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 Standards for when to use each of the above signs are as follows: All MPE references are to the FCC Public limits.

RoofMaster was developed in 2008 by Waterford Consultants to support compliance assessments performed at single and multi-operator wireless locations throughout North America and has been in service since 2008. Real-world experience in evaluating thousands of base station installations are reflected in the RoofMaster design approach. This document provides a guide for creating simulations of RF hazard conditions through the characterization of antenna systems and site features and through FCC-specified computational analysis. On any structure, one may encounter antennas installed by wireless service providers, public safety and other FCC-licensed and unlicensed operators. Siting constraints have resulted in diverse and complex environments accessible to people performing a variety of activities around these antennas. RoofMaster supports the characterization of these locations to convey important information regarding RF sources and accessible areas necessary to evaluate the potential for human exposure to hazardous levels of RF energy. RoofMaster supports the depiction of communications sites through the display of construction drawing or aerial photography image files as well as providing line drawing tools. These representations are scalable to enable the modeling of any location. RoofMaster utilizes a three-dimensional spatial framework consisting of a 1000 x 1000 grid with unlimited vertical dimensions necessary for the positioning of antennas and modeling of RF conditions at each grid point throughout the space. Predictive analysis is performed on a study plane at a specified elevation. The subsequent sections of this guide provide the steps necessary to create a site representation and conduct these studies. RoofMaster employs several power density prediction models based on the computational approaches set forth in the Federal Communications Commission’s Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin 65. This guideline utilizes several antenna and operational parameters in calculating the power density contributions from each emitter at specified points throughout the study space. RoofMaster enables antennas to be fully defined in site specific aspects as well as through the use of a library of manufacturer data. The parameters include: Page 34 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 § Antenna model § Radiation patterns § Aperture length § Gain § Beamwidth § Antenna radiation center § Azimuth § Mechanical downtilt § Location § Frequency § Power into antenna In OET-65, the Cylindrical Model is presented as an approach to determine the spatially averaged power density in the near field directly in front of an antenna. In order to implement this model in all directions, RoofMaster utilizes the antenna manufacturer horizontal pattern data. Additionally, RoofMaster incorporates factors that reduce the power density by the inverse square of horizontal and vertical distance beyond the near field region. Power density is calculated as follows:  S is the spatially averaged power density value  R is the horizontal distance meters to the study point  h is the aperture length in meters  Pin is power into the antenna input port in Watts RoofMaster Implementation:  GH is gain offset to study point as specified in manufacturer horizontal pattern  Pin is adjusted by the portion of the antenna aperture in the 0-6 ft vertical study zone  Hr accounts for 1/R2 Far Field roll off which starts at 2*h  Vr accounts for 1/ (vertical distance) 2 roll off from antenna bottom to the top of the 0-6ft study zone (or antenna top to bottom of 0-6ft study zone) Page 35 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 Not to Scale Page 36 of 37 Pramira, Inc · 2552 Walnut Ave., Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780 · 800.678.1169 9 References FCC (1997). “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields”; Federal Communications Commission; Office of Engineering and Technology, OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01, August.
