(GAAP).  


A clause in a loan agreement.
The common set of accounting principles, standards and procedures.  


It states that the acceleration of a loan with any other lender, following an event of default under another loan agreement, is also an event of default under this agreement.
They are a combination of:
* Law
* Published authoritative standards (set by policy boards such as the FASB in the US and the FRC in the UK) and
* The accepted ways of doing accounting.




It is designed for the benefit of the lender, to ensure that the lender will enjoy a 'seat at the table' in any refinancing negotiations with the defaulting borrower.
Sometimes also known as Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
