-----END CERTIFICATE-----

What this command did for you:

Open the default keystore file in your home folder: C:\Users\fyicenter\.keystore.
Read the certificate stored in the "2ndkey" entry.
Export the certificate in "rfc" format (Base64 encoded binary data).

If you want to save the certificate in a file, you can use the "-file" option:

C:\Users\fyicenter>"\Program Files\java\jre7\bin\keytool" -exportcert
-storepass FYIcenter -alias 2ndkey -rfc -file 2nd_cert.pem

Certificate stored in file <2nd_cert.pem>
