  (ii) operating profit before special items for each of the Company’s business segments, which is equal to that business segments operating profit plus restructuring charges plus acquisition-related costs less timberland gain, as applicable to that segment;

 

  (iii) EBITDA of the Company on a consolidated basis, which is equal to net income plus interest expense, net plus income tax expense less equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, each on a consolidated basis;

 

  (iv) EBITDA for each of the Company’s business segments, which is equal to that business segment’s operating profit less that segment’s other expense (income), net plus that segment’s depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, as applicable to that segment;

 

  (v) EBITDA of the Company before special items on a consolidated basis, which is equal to EBITDA plus restructuring charges plus acquisition-related costs plus debt extinguishment charges less timberland gains, each on a consolidated basis;

 

  (vi) EBITDA before special items for each of the Company’s business segments, which is equal to EBITDA plus restructuring charges plus acquisition costs less timberland gains, as applicable to that segment;
