*As such, the standard [[ISDA]] provision and the {{Bank}} provision are very similar in scope - the {{isdaprov|Tax Event}} and {{isdaprov|Tax Event Upon Merger}} provisions (those not caught by your wording) are more likely to only affect certain transactions and not all Transactions and therefore set-off is not likely to be relevant in such instances.

*'''Force Majeure''': The [[1992 ISDA Master]] contains no {{isdaprov|Force Majeure}} provision. Commercially, it is not likely that an [[ISDA]] would be closed-out as a result of a {{isdaprov|Termination Event}} as these are generally viewed as non-fault and set-off would generally not be relevant.

*'''{{isdaprov|Illegality}}''' does allow either party to terminate but this is limited to all {{isdaprov|Affected Transaction}}s which may not result in a [[close-out]] of the entire [[ISDA]]. In fact, the definition used of Affected Transactions makes it clear that in the cases of Illegality, Tax Event Upon Merger or Tax Event then it will only be transactions affected by the Termination Event that are closed-out. In relation to ATEs and CEUM this will be all Transactions and so set-off is relevant.
