(viii) Whenever this Agreement refers to any “wholly-owned” Subsidiary of any Person, such reference shall be deemed to include any Foreign Subsidiary of such Person in which a nominal amount of Equity Interests are held by residents of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is organized in order to comply with requirements of local law.

39
(f) Time References. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to times of day will be references to Denver, Colorado time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
(g) Captions. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
(h) Cumulative Nature of Certain Provisions. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters. All such limitations, tests and measurements are cumulative and will be performed in accordance with their respective terms.
(i) No Construction Against Any Party. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among, and have been reviewed by counsel to, the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, they will not be construed against Administrative Agent or any Lending Party merely because of the involvement of any or all of the preceding Persons in their preparation.
(j) Paid in Full. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations means the repayment in full in Cash (or, in the case of Credits, the Cash Collateralization or support by a standby letter of credit in accordance with the terms hereof) of all Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations.
(k) GAAP. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting terms not expressly defined herein will be construed, and all financial computations required under this Agreement will be made, in accordance with GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP or any changes in accounting principles or practices from those used in the preparation of the financial statements are hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or any successor thereto or agencies with similar functions) or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over GAAP or any financial reporting by the Parent, which results in a material change in the method of accounting in the financial statements required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent hereunder or in the calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms contained in this Agreement, and either the Borrowers or Required Lenders will so request, Administrative Agent, the Lending Parties and the Borrowers will negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended: (i) such ratio or requirement will continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and (ii) the Borrowers will provide to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement 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.
(l) Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Loan Parties or any of them pursuant to the Loan Documents will be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number using the common - or symmetric arithmetic - method of rounding (in other words, rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
(m) Computations of Certain Financial Covenants. For purposes of computing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of any date, all components of such ratios will include or exclude, as the case may be, for the period consisting of the four Fiscal Periods ending on such date all financial results (without duplication of amounts) attributable to any business or assets that
40
are the subject of any Acquisition or Disposition by the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof effected during such period, as determined by Administrative Borrower in its Reasonable Discretion and consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) on a pro forma basis for such period as if such Acquisition or Disposition had occurred (and any Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection therewith had been incurred and repaid, as the case may be) on (in the case of any balance sheet item) the last day of such period or on (in the case of any other item) the first day of such period. Furthermore, for the purposes of computing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of any date, to the extent that any Joint Venture is included in the Parent’s Consolidated financial statements, such calculations will disregard the ratable portion of such Joint Venture attributable to the ownership of any Joint Venture by any Person who is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries will be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof.
(n) Calculations with Respect to Credit. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Credit at any time will be deemed to be the stated amount of such Credit in effect at such time; provided that, with respect to any Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Credit will be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(o) Documents Executed by Responsible Officers. Any document delivered hereunder that is signed by a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party will be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of such Loan Party and such Responsible Officer will be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of such Loan Party.
(p) Additional Alternative Currencies. The Borrowers may from time to time request that Loans be made and Credits be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Each such request will be subject to the prior approval of all Lenders; provided, however, to the extent such request relates solely to Letters of Credit, subject only to the prior approval of the applicable L/C Issuer. Any such request will be made to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days prior to the desired date for making the requested Loan or desired issuance date of the requested Credit, as applicable. Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Borrower, not later than 9:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether the Lenders have consented, in their sole discretion, to the making of the requested Loan or the issuance of the requested Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency. Any failure by Administrative Agent to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence will be deemed to be a refusal by the Lenders to permit such Loan to be made or such Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Lenders consent to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency (an “Additional Alternative Currency”), such Additional Alternative Currency will thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of such Loan or Credit.
(q) Exchange Rates. (i) Administrative Agent will determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Loans and other Obligations and (ii) Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer will determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of issued and undrawn Credits, in each case outstanding hereunder denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates will become effective as of such Revaluation Date and will be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of the audited and
41
unaudited financial statements to be prepared and delivered by the Parent pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) or the calculation of financial covenants hereunder, including pursuant to Section 7.14 (Financial Covenants) or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency for purposes of the Loan Documents will be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by Administrative Agent.
(r) Redenomination of Certain Foreign Currencies; New Currency.
(i) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the National Currency Unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof will be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency will be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis will be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Loan denominated in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement will take effect, with respect to such Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(ii) If, after the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Credit, as applicable, in any Alternative Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such Alternative Currency with the result that different types of such Alternative Currency (the “New Currency”) are introduced and the type of currency in which the Loan was made or the Credit was issued (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrowers are not able to make payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lending Parties or Administrative Agent in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency will be made to Administrative Agent in such amount and such type of the New Currency as will be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.02(n), if, after the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Credit, as applicable, in any Alternative Currency, the Borrowers are not able to make payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Administrative Agent in the type of currency in which such Loan was made or such Credit was issued because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Loan will instead be repaid or such Credit will be reimbursed, as applicable, when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of repayment) of such Loan or Credit reimbursement amount.
(s) Currency of Account. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Borrowers hereunder in each case except as expressly provided in this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 1.02(n):
(i) each repayment of a Loan or a part thereof will be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated at the time of that repayment;
(ii) each payment of interest will be made in the currency in which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is payable, is denominated;
(iii) each reimbursement of a draw on a Credit will be made (A) to the extent reimbursed by a payment from the Borrowers, at the option of the L/C Issuer, in the currency in which such Credit is denominated at the time of that reimbursement or in Dollars and (B) to the extent reimbursed by Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances pursuant to Sections 2.04(c)(ii) or (iii) (as applicable), in Dollars;
42
(iv) each payment of fees will be in Dollars;
(v) each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities will be made in the currency in which the same were incurred or the Dollar Equivalent thereof; and
(vi) any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Dollars will be paid in that other currency.
No payment to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) will discharge the obligation or liability in respect of which it was made unless and until Administrative Agent or such Lending Party will have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred, and to the extent that the amount of any such payment will, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, as applicable, with respect to the amount of the shortfall, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall.
(t) Currency Fluctuations. If, on any Revaluation Date the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such
