Default upon Specified Transaction — colloquially, “DUST” — is often confused with Cross Default. In fact, they’re meant to be mutually exclusive. That won’t stop folks conflating them, though. Look, we all do it.

DUST is like Cross Default, but where Cross Default references indebtedness owed to third parties, DUST is all about non-“borrowing” style transactions — e.g., swap agreements, stock loans[1] and repos, but only transactions between the two counterparties[2].

If a Counterparty[3] experiences an Event of Default under a swap agreement (or other “Specified Transaction[4] with you, this will be an Event of Default under the ISDA Master Agreement.

  1. I know these sound like borrowing transactions, but they’re fully collateralised, and in fact aren’t.
  2. And — sigh — their Credit Support Providers and Specified Entities.
  3. Or — sigh — its Credit Support Provider or Specified Entity
  4. This is typically wide, though it excludes borrowed money — but check the Agreement!
