Alternative Compliance Path Outside the US

Hi I am currently handling a LEED CI project in the Phillipines. Apparantly I have encountered an addenda Stating an Alternative Compliance Path Outside the US for LEED CI. I just don't know if it would be applicable for V2009. Here is what was stated in: MR Credit 5 - Regional Material Alternative Compliance Path Outside the US Option 2 Building materials or products shipped by rail or water have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured within a 500 mile total travel distance of the project site using a weighted acerage determined through the following formula: Distance by rail/3)+(Distance by inland waterway/2)+(Distance by Sea/15)+(Distance by all other means)
