accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) the Seller
Parties shall provide to the Agent and the Purchasers financial statements and
other documents required under the Transaction Documents or as reasonably
requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such
ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
GAAP.
