Accounting Decisions All decisions as to accounting principles, except as specifically provided to the contrary herein, shall be made by the General Partner.
Tax and Accounting Treatment Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, and for accounting purposes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by applicable Requirements of Law or GAAP.
Tax and Accounting Consequences (a) It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.
(b) It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.
Administrative and Accounting Services The Administrator shall provide the Fund with regulatory reporting, fund accounting and related portfolio accounting services, all necessary office space, equipment, personnel, compensation and facilities (including facilities for Shareholders' and Directors' meetings) for handling the affairs of the Portfolios and such other services as the Administrator shall, from time to time, determine to be necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, at the request of the Fund's Board of Directors, the Administrator shall make reports to the Fund's Directors concerning the performance of its obligations hereunder including such activities as are set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as amended by agreement of the parties from time to time.

Accounting and Financial Determinations Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition)) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (or, if not consistently applied, accompanied by details of the inconsistencies); provided that if the Borrower elects to apply or is required to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of GAAP, upon any such election and notice to the Facility Agent, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement); provided further that if, as a result of (a) any change in GAAP or IFRS or in the interpretation thereof or (b) the application by the Borrower of IFRS in lieu of GAAP, in each case, after the date of any financial statements referred to in Clause 8.1 (Financial Information, Reports, Notices, etc.), there is a change in the manner of determining any of the items referred to herein or thereunder that are to be determined by reference to GAAP, and the effect of such change would (in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) be such as to affect the basis or efficacy of the financial covenants contained in Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition) in ascertaining the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Borrower notifies the Facility Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate such change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), then such item shall for the purposes of Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition) continue to be determined in accordance with GAAP relating thereto as if GAAP were applied immediately prior to such change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of any person that are or would be characterized as operating lease obligations in accordance with GAAP on the B34 Facility Amendment Date (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as operating lease obligations for the purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following the B34 Facility Amendment Date that would otherwise require such obligations to be recharacterized (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) as capital leases.
Fiscal Year and Accounting Method The fiscal year of the Company shall be as designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall also determine the accounting method to be used by the Company.
