**it happens by reference to '''all''' of the limbs of the Bankruptcy definition, including those which are observable and definitive. AET shouldn't kick in simply where a party "takes steps in furtherance of" an insolvency filing - it should only happen at the point of that actual insolvency filing.

*The second sentence of Section 6(a) provides for the deemed occurrence of an {{isdaprov|Early Termination Date}} ''automatically'' upon the occurrence of an event falling within the Bankruptcy Event of Default. For example, although it will be clear when a petition for a winding up order has been filed, it will be unclear generally whether the deemed occurrence of the Early Termination Date took effect with respect to an event falling within sub-clause (2) at some time preceding the filing.
**That is to say the second sentence of Section 6(a) (see below) deems the occurrence of an {{isdaprov|Early Termination Date}} ''automatically'' upon the occurrence of ''any'' event falling within the Bankruptcy {{isdaprov|Event of Default}}.  
By contrast, {{isdaprov|Automatic Early Termination}} under the {{1992ma}} and {{2002ma}}, if elected, does not apply to those events that are uncertain as to the precise time of their occurrence. Therefore, the enforceability of {{isdaprov|Automatic Early Termination}} in the {{1992ma}} and the {{2002ma}} cannot be called into question on the basis of the uncertainty created by the inclusion of the events in the {{1992ma}} and {{2002ma}} equivalent to those in the {{1987ma}} referred to above.
