Capital Charge Calculation • Interest will charged at a rate of 7.5% on the theoretical debt and equity structure that has been determined for each business unit. • Interest will be calculated on the Dec. 31, 2000 theoretical debt balance. This debt balance will be calculated by multiplying the sum of equity, 3rd party debt, intercompany balances and off balance sheet obligations by the debt ratio. • Interest will also be charged on the theoretical debt portion of the monthly cash flow. • An adjustment will be made for 3rd party and other intercompany interest.

Mechanics • The capital charge will be calculated by business unit, instead of legal entity. • The capital charge will be recorded in CS by Corporate to the cash services company for each business unit. It will be booked in FI in the following month. • The 2001 Plan will be restated to include the capital charge.
Other Issues • All interest will be included in net income. This will eliminate the distinction between financing and non-financing interest. • This capital charge is solely for meeting management goals regarding allocation of interest. Allocation of interest to meet tax goals should be handled by each business unit. The cash services companies, which are divisions of Corporate, should allocate interest to the legal entities, if this is deemed necessary by the business unit’s tax department.
