No delay by the Company or the Required Lenders in requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a negotiation at any time after such a change in accounting principles. Until any such covenant, requirement, standard or term is amended in accordance with this Section 1.03, such covenant, requirement, standard or term shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles.
