| Being the document by which {{isdaprov|Credit Support}} is provided by a {{isdaprov|Credit Support Provider}}.
| |
| | |
| Note that a {{tag|CSA}} should '''not''' be treated as a {{isdaprov|Credit Support Document}}, as it is in fact a {{isdaprov|Transaction}} under the {{isdama}}.
| |
| | |
| Note also the pitfalls of providing [[Guarantee]]s with respect to individual {{isdaprov|Transaction}}s under an {{isdama}}. It doesn't work. [[Guarantee|Here's why]].

| | |
| ===[[Guarantees]] under the {{isdama}} and why a {{isdaprov|Transaction}}-specific {{isdaprov|guarantee}} is a bad idea===
| |
| {{isdaguaranteewarning}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| Should a client request a transaction-specific parental guarantee under an {{isdama}} instead of the usual “all obligations” guarantee of all obligations under the {{isdama}} and all transactions under it, escalate immediately.
| |
| | |
| We should *never* agree to the {{isdaprov|guarantee}} of individual {{isdaprov|Transaction}}s (or accepting [[letter of credit|Letters of Credit]] with respect to individual {{isdaprov|transactions}}) under an {{isdama}}. The reason relates to the way {{isdama}}s are closed out inder Section {{isdaprov|6(e)}}:
| |
| | |
| {{box|{{isdaq|6(e)(i)|2002}}}}
| |
| | |
| *On a close-out, each {{isdaprov|Transaction}} is terminated, the individual close-out amounts are determined, they’re aggregated up to a single net sum (i.e. negative exposures are netted off against positive ones) and the single Early Termination Payment is payable under {{isdaprov|6(e)}} ({{isdaprov|Payments on Early Termination}}) of the {{isdama}}.
| |
| | |
| *That is to say, it is *not* payable under the {{isdaprov|Transaction}} at all - it's payable under the {{isdama}} itself.
| |
| | |
| *Therefore, if the guarantee relates to the single {{isdaprov|Transaction}} only, at precisely the point you wish to rely on it (i.e., upon the party’s default), it will vanish. Same goes for Letters of Credit.

Overview
No changes between the versions of this rather unnecessary definition. The men and women of ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ must have stood back and admired the handiwork of their 1992 forebears, high-fived each other and gone, “nice job, dudes and dudettes”.
