Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (i) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (ii) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. As used in this Section 16(e):
Accounting Terms and Principles (a) Except as set forth below, all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in conformity with GAAP and all accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto (including for purpose of measuring compliance with Article V (Financial Covenant)) shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in conformity with GAAP. (b) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement, and either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement so as to equitably reflect such change in GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such change in GAAP as if such change in GAAP had not been made (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided, however, that, (i) until so amended, (A) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP, as applicable, prior to such change therein and (B) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a written reconciliation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, (A) the amount of any Capital Lease Obligation shall at all times be calculated in accordance with the definition of that term, and (B) notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after the Closing Date, any lease of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries that would be characterized as an operating lease under GAAP in effect on the Closing Date (whether such lease is entered into before or after the Closing Date) shall not constitute Indebtedness or a Capital Lease Obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such changes in GAAP. (c) For purposes of making all financial calculations to determine compliance with Article V (Financial Covenant) and any other financial ratio hereunder, all components of such calculations shall be adjusted to include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such calculations attributable to any business or assets that have been acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including through Permitted Acquisitions) after the first day of the applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in good faith by the Borrower on a Pro Forma Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, when determining Pro Forma Compliance with Article V (Financial Covenant) for purposes of any ratio test set forth in the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” or Article VIII (Negative Covenants), the test set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) shall apply regardless of whether any Revolving Credit Commitment remains outstanding on the relevant test date.
Accounting and Tax Treatment Each of the Parties undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Merger, and to take no action which would cause the Merger not, to qualify for treatment as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes or as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes.
Accounting Principles Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be done in accordance with GAAP, to the extent applicable, except where such principles are inconsistent with the requirements of this Agreement.
Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States of America or a State of the United States of America. (b) In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Right under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party is permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Right could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States of America or a State of the United States of America.
