“SECTION 4.02(c) – In the case of a Borrowing or a Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, there shall not have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders (in the case of any Loans to be denominated in an Alternative Currency) or the Issuer (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Alternative Currency) would make it impracticable for such Borrowing or a Letter of Credit to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.”
