We are talking about other derivative-''like'' transactions, between you and the same counterparty, where the counterparty presents a clear and present danger of blowing up, but where that behaviour has not yet manifested under the present {{isdama}}, meaning you have no grounds to blow them up directly. So, you know, fairly implausible scenario, but still. You want to use the event arising under this ''other'' {{{{{1}}}|Specified Transaction}} to detonate the present ISDA.
