Template:M comp disc 2002 ISDA 5(b)(v)
Numbering Discrepancy: Note the numbering discrepancy in Section 5(b) between the 1992 ISDA and 2002 ISDA. This is caused by a new 5(b)(ii) (Force Majeure Event) in the 2002 ISDA before Tax Event, which is thus shunted from Section 5(b)(ii) (in the 1992 ISDA) to Section 5(b)(iii) (in the 2002 ISDA).
- Section 5(a)(viii) is Merger Without Assumption.

Here’s a snapshot of the difference:
