The GMSLA is deliberately designed so that the return of Equivalent Securities, or the return of Equivalent Collateral, is not an Event of Default.
These failures are designed to be caught by the Mini-Closeout section, which gives the client a self-help, pre-default, remedy of buying in, liquidating the borrowed security, valuing the offsetting positions and calling for a cash payment. A failure to make that payment would be an EoD (under 10.1(c)).
The deficiency seems to be in not allowing for the 9.2 close out right to attach to failures to return collateral during the currency of a loan. I am not sure why that is missing, but it seems to me the correct approach should be to amend 9.2 to say:
