*'''There’s an Event of Default''': Note that (unlike the {{isdama}} an event only becomes an {{gmslaprov|Event of Default}} once the {{gmslaprov|Non-Defaulting Party}} has given notice of it with no need for the {{gmslaprov|Non-Defaulting Party}} to give a further notice: it has already given one (or not had to, if it’s an event triggering {{gmslaprov|Automatic Early Termination}}. Thus, at once:
If even the nutshell version is too tedious:
**'''Acceleration''': All payment and delivery obligations are accelerated, becoming due as of the date of the {{eqderivprov|Event of Default}}, which is therefore the Termination Date, although this is not the date on which the close-out is settled - bear with me.

**'''{{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}}''': {{gmslaprov|Non-Defaulting Party}} determines the {{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}} for all non cash obligations.
*'''Acceleration''': All payment and delivery obligations are accelerated, becoming due as of the date of the {{eqderivprov|Event of Default}}, which is therefore the ''effective'' {{gmslaprov|Termination Date}}, although not the date on which the close-out is settled (bear with me).
***'''When''': Even though this references the {{gmslaprov|Termination Date}} (being the date of default), it is determined as of the {{gmslaprov|Default Valuation Time}}, namely at close five dealing days ''after'' the date of the default (or for an {{gmslaprov|AET}}, the date the {{gmslaprov|NDP}} became aware of it).
*'''{{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}}''': {{gmslaprov|Non-Defaulting Party}} determines the {{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}} for all non-cash obligations.
***'''What''':  
**'''When''': Even though this references the {{gmslaprov|Termination Date}} the NDP determines it as of the {{gmslaprov|Default Valuation Time}}: at the close, five dealing days ''after'' the date of default (or, for an {{gmslaprov|AET}}, when the {{gmslaprov|NDP}} became aware of the default).
****Where the NDP has actually bought or sold securities or collateral, it can use the net sale proceeds to calculate the {{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}} for those assets.  
**'''What''':  
****Where it has not, it takes at least two [[dealer quotes]] — offer side for securities it is owed; bid side for those it owes — averages them, and adjusts them for unpaid coupons and transaction costs.
***Where the NDP has actually bought or sold securities or collateral, it can use the net sale proceeds to calculate the {{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}} for those assets.  
****If it can't do either, it can take its own commercially reasonable estimate of their fair market value, accounting for transaction costs.

*'''''Still'' no {{gmslaprov|DMV}}? Then a Net Value at a later time'''. If the {{gmslaprov|Non-Defaulting Party}} can’t even bring itself to ''make up'' a {{gmslaprov|Default Market Value}} for the Default Valuation Time — perhaps its [[legal eagles]] are [[chicken licken]]s and won’t let it — it has to calculate the {{gmslaprov|Net Value}} at a commercially reasonable time after that.
*'''Expenses''': the {{gmslaprov|Defaulting Party}} wears these too, and they accrue at overnight LIBOR (yes, or it’s successor).
*'''{{gmslaprov|Set-off}}'''; And the {{gmslaprov|NDP}} can apply a [[set off]].
