(a) the contracts with the clearing member in default;

(b) the contracts of the affected clearing service or asset class;

(c) the other contracts of the CCP under resolution.

The resolution authority shall terminate the contracts referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph only where the transfer of the assets and positions resulting from those contracts has not taken place within the meaning of Article 48(5) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
