Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited financial statements of the Borrower with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for all purposes, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto (provided that, in connection with all financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of such accounting change, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent a summary of the aggregate adjustments in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change, which schedule may be included in the Officer’s Compliance Certificate).
