- (i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which such Swap Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):-

- (2) there is a substantial likelihood that the party (which will be the Affected Party) will be required on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e)) and such substantial likelihood results from an action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which such Swap Transaction was entered into (regardless of whether such action was taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement);
- (1) The party (which will be the Affected Party) will be required on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e)) as a result of a Change in Tax Law; or
- 5(b)(iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount, in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii); or
- 5(b)(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in Part I of the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”) consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity (which will be the Affected Party) is materially weaker than that of X immediately prior to such action.
5(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.
