“Termination Currency Equivalent” means, in respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the “Other Currency”), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.

(adapted from the 2002 User Guide)
Under the 2002 ISDA, a payment on early termination will be made in the Termination Currency. The “Termination Currency” must be specified in Part 1(f) of the Schedule to the 2002 ISDA and, if not specified or the currency specified is not freely available, the fallback will be U.S. dollar for a 2002 Agreement governed by New York law, and the euro if a 2002 ISDA is governed by English law. The 1992 Agreement had a U.S. dollar fallback regardless of the governing law of the 1992 ISDA. In calculating amounts payable, any Close-out Amount or Unpaid Amount is converted to a “Termination Currency Equivalent” on the basis of an exchange rate determined in accordance with the 2002 ISDA by a foreign exchange agent.
