* Sub CA 2, with an EKU that allows SSL certificates, would be subject to audit, PLUS its end-entity certificates as well to verify that no SSL certificates have been issued.
* 'Issuing CA 2' has an EKU that allows SSL certificates, so it would be subject to audit, PLUS its end-entity certificates as well to verify that no SSL certificates have been issued.
* Sub CA 3, operated by ABC Corp, is subject to audit
* 'Sub CA 3', operated by ABC Corp, is subject to audit
* Sub CA 3a PLUS its end-entity certs are subject to audit

* Sub CA 3b is subject to audit, but not its end-entity certificates because the EKU restricts to SMIME only
* 'Sub CA 3b' is subject to audit, but not its end-entity certificates because the EKU restricts to SMIME only
