(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Condition 3(c), the Issuer and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee indebtedness for borrowed money secured by mortgages which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all the other outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries secured by mortgages which is not listed in clauses (1) through (8) of subsection (i) of this Condition 3(c), does not at the time exceed 12 1/2 per cent. of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as determined by reference to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer as of the end of the fiscal year preceding the date of determination. (iii) For the purposes of this Condition 3(c) only, “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the total amount of assets (less depreciation and valuation reserves and other reserves and items deductible from the gross book value of specific asset amounts under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) which under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States would be included on a balance sheet of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, after deducting therefrom (i) all liability items except indebtedness (whether incurred, assumed or guaranteed) for borrowed money maturing by its terms more than one year from the date of creation thereof or which is extendible or renewable at the sole option of the obligor in such manner that it may become payable more than one year from the date of creation thereof, shareholders’ equity and reserves for deferred income taxes, (ii) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortised debt discount and expense and other like intangibles, which in each case would be so included on such balance sheet, and (iii) amounts invested in, or equity in the net assets of, Non-Restricted Subsidiaries.
