(iv) "Credit Event Upon Merger" means that a Designated Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to a party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (in each case, "X") and such
Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption under Section 5(a)(viii) hereof and, in the reasonable opinion of the other party, the creditworthiness of X or, if applicable, the successor, surviving or transferee entity of X,
after taking into account any applicable Credit Support Document, is materially weaker than X immediately prior to such action, (and, in such event, such party or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as appropriate, will be the Affected
Party). For purposes hereof, a Designated Event with respect to X means that, after the date of this Agreement:
