On the difference between an “Early Termination Amount” and a “Close-out Amount”

The 1992 ISDA features neither an Early Termination Amount or a Close-out Amount, which many would see as a regrettable oversight. The 2002 ISDA has both, which looks like rather an indulgence until you realise that they do different things.[1]

A Close-out Amount is the termination value for a single Transaction, or a related group of Transactions that a Non-Defaulting Party or Non-Affected Party calculates while closing out an 2002 ISDA, but it is not the final, overall sum due under the ISDA Master Agreement itself. Each of the determined Close-out Amounts summed with the various Unpaid Amounts to arrive at the Early Termination Amount, which is the total net sum due under the ISDA Master Agreement after the close-out process. (See Section 6(e)(i) for more on that).

  1. This is not to say it isn’t hugely over-engineered, all the same: regular readers will know that the JC would never not say that about the output of ISDA’s crack drafting squad™.
