Pledge GMSLA

First, curiously, the 2018 Pledge GMSLA inserts the right to terminate the entry into of further Loans under this Agreement — a genuine “WTF” moment there, since there is no obligation to enter into any Loan at any time that you don’t want to anyway — and the second is to add a chicken-lickenish statement of the bleeding obvious that if one terminates the Agreement that doesn’t whip away the rug from under your carefully constructed the security arrangements — at least not until you’ve sorted out the outstanding Loans and returned whatever you have borrowed.

ISDA

By way of further comparison, the ISDA Master Agreement doesn’t have a general termination right of this sort at all. You can only terminate Transactions, not the master agreement construct which sits around them itself. It is an immortal husk.
