| A simple and innocuous enough provision. Almost redundant — why go to the trouble of defining [[borrowed money]] as another term? (Answer: because some firms, in their wisdom, will wish to change the definition of [[borrowed money]] to include [[derivatives]], other trading exposures, or even any payment obligations of any kind, and for those people, {{isdaprov|Specified Indebtedness}} is a (somewhat) less loaded term.)<ref>By the way, the [[JC]]’s personal view is that one should ''not'' widen the definition beyond the normal conception of “[[borrowed money]]”, and if one is a [[Bank/Credit Institution|bank]], may wish to ''narrow'' it, to exclude [[Deposit|deposits]]. See the article on ISDA’s {{isdaprov|Cross Default}} {{gmslaprov|Event of Default}} for more information.</ref>.

| In any case, what should one make of “[[borrowed money]]”? Could it include [[repo]] and [[stock loan]] obligations? Amounts owed to trade creditors? (In each case no, according to Simon Firth - see [[borrowed money|here]])

| What of a failure to pay [[initial margin]]? Technicallty this is not the IM payer’s indebtedness — indeed when paid, it is the IM receiver’s indebtedness to the IM payer — so while it certainly comprises a failure to pay when due, the value of the {{isdaprov|Specified Indebtedness}} that failure contributes to the {{isdaprov|Threshold Amount}} might be nil, or even ''negative''.

See the Cross Default page which discusses Specified Indebtedness in detail — gory detail, if you are a premium subscriber — in the only context in which it appears: as the type of contract to which a Cross Default applies.
