(1) the net income (or loss), without deduction for minority interests, of the Company and its subsidiaries for that period determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States;

(2) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section the sum of (a) all interest, premium payments, debt discount, fees, charges and related expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with borrowed money (including capitalized interest) or in connection with the deferred purchase price of assets, in each case to the extent treated as interest in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and (b) the portion of rent expense of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to such period under capital leases that is treated as interest in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States;

(3) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section the provision for Federal, state, local and foreign income taxes payable by the Company and its subsidiaries for such period;

(4) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section depreciation and amortization expense for such period;

(5) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section other non-recurring expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries reducing such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section (a) which do not represent a cash item in such period or (b) which are cash items in such period that were incurred as a result of (i) the early termination of Company’s Capital Trust II indebtedness, (ii) termination of existing swap contracts (it being understood that cash charges described in this clause (ii) will not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate) or (iii) normal and customary out-of-pocket third party costs,

expenses and fees incurred directly in connection with the refinancing of any existing indebtedness;

(6) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the implementation, negotiation, documentation and closing of the Separation;

(7) to the extent deducted in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section all other non-cash items reducing net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section for such period;

(8) the sum of the amounts required to be stated in such certificate by clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of this Section;

(9) to the extent included in calculating such net income (loss) specified in clause (1) of this Section Federal, state, local and foreign income tax credits of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such period;

(11) the sum of the amounts required to be stated in such certificate by clauses (9) and (10) of this Section; and

(12) the adjusted net earnings of the Company for such period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months (being the amount remaining after reducing the amount required to be stated in such certificate by clause (8) of this Section by the amount required to be stated therein by clause (11) of this Section);

(B) the annual interest requirements, being the interest requirements, if any, for twelve (12) months upon:

(i) all Bonds outstanding hereunder at the date of such certificate, except any for the payment of which the Bonds applied for are to be issued; provided that, if any such series of outstanding Bonds bears interest at a variable rate, then the interest on such series of Bonds shall be computed at the average annual rate in effect for such series during the period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months (or any portion thereof in which Bonds of such series are outstanding) being used for the calculation of adjusted net earnings; and if such outstanding Bonds have been issued after the end of such twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, then computed at the initial rate upon issuance;

(ii) all Bonds then applied for in pending applications, including the application in connection with which such certificate is made, computed at the initial rate upon issuance;

(iii) the principal amount of all other indebtedness (except indebtedness for the payment of which the Bonds applied for are to be issued and indebtedness for the purchase, payment or redemption of which moneys in the necessary amount shall have been deposited with or be held by the Trustee or the trustee or other holder of a lien prior to the lien of this Indenture upon property subject to the lien of this Indenture with irrevocable direction so to apply the same; provided that, in the case of redemption, the notice required therefor shall have been given or have been provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee), outstanding in the hands of the public on the date of such certificate and secured by a lien prior to the lien of this Indenture upon property subject to the lien of this Indenture, if said indebtedness has been assumed by the Company or if the Company customarily pays the interest upon the principal thereof.

If any of the property of the Company owned by it at the time of the making of any net earnings certificate shall have been acquired during or after any period for which adjusted net earnings of the Company are to be computed, the adjusted net earnings of such property (computed in the manner in this Section provided for the computation of the adjusted net earnings of the Company) during such period or such part of such period as shall have preceded the acquisition thereof, to the extent that the same have not otherwise been included and unless such property shall have been acquired in exchange or substitution for property the earnings of which have been included, may, at the option of the Company, be included in the adjusted net earnings of the Company for all purposes of this Indenture, and shall be included if such property has been operated as a separate unit or if the earnings therefrom are readily ascertainable.

In any case where a net earnings certificate is required as a condition precedent to the authentication and delivery of Bonds, such certificate shall also be made and signed by an independent public accountant, if the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then applied for plus the aggregate principal amount of Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder since the commencement of the then current calendar year (other than those with respect to which a net earnings certificate is not required, or with respect to which a net earnings certificate made and signed by an independent public accountant has previously been furnished to the Trustee) is ten per centum (10%) or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding hereunder; but no net earnings certificate need be made and signed by any person other than the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer or President or a Vice President and an accountant, as to dates or periods not covered by annual reports required to be filed by the Company, in the case of conditions precedent which depend upon a state of facts as of a date or dates or for a period or periods different from that required to be covered by such annual reports.

Each such certificate shall include the statements required by Section 1 of Article Twenty hereof.

Unless otherwise specifically provided with respect to a series of Bonds, if interest on any Bonds outstanding hereunder is payable solely in the coin or currency of a foreign nation, then the annual interest requirements for such Bonds shall be based upon the estimated value (on a date within 10 days prior to the date of the application for the authentication and delivery under this Indenture of Bonds in connection with which such net earnings certificate is delivered) of such

foreign coin or currency in The City of New York, New York, in the written opinion of an independent appraiser or other expert delivered to the Trustee.”
