ISDA 1995 English Law Credit Support Annex
In a Nutshell™ Section 6:
Paragraph 6. Default.
If there is an Early Termination Date following an Event of Default on a party the Credit Support Balance, determined as if the Early Termination Date were a Valuation Date, will be an Unpaid Amount owed to the Transferor under Section 6(e). For the avoidance of doubt, if Market Quotation applies then the Market Quotation for the Transaction constituted by this Annex will be zero; if Loss applies, the Loss for the Transaction will be just the Unpaid Amount representing the Credit Support Balance.

1995 CSA full text of Section 6:
Paragraph 6. Default.
If an Early Termination Date is designated or deemed to occur as a result of an Event of Default in relation to a party, an amount equal to the Value of the Credit Support Balance, determined as though the Early Termination Date were a Valuation Date, will be deemed to be an Unpaid Amount due to the Transferor (which may or may not be the Defaulting Party) for purposes of Section 6(e). For the avoidance of doubt, if Market Quotation is the applicable payment measure for purposes of Section 6(e), then the Market Quotation determined under Section 6(e) in relation to the Transaction constituted by this Annex will be deemed to be zero, and, if Loss is the applicable payment measure for purposes of Section 6(e), then the Loss determined under Section 6(e) in relation to the Transaction will be limited to the Unpaid Amount representing the Value of the Credit Support Balance.

Consider expanding of the Default provision under Paragraph 6 of the CSA to include “Termination Events where all Transactions are Affected Transactions”. This is as per Section 3.2 of the 2001 ISDA Margin Provisions which recommend that Paragraph 6 of the CSA should apply where all Transactions are closed out following an Event of Default or “Specified Condition” — the latter of which is defined to include the Termination Events listed under the ISDA Master Agreement. It is likely that all Transactions would be Affected Transactions should a Credit Event Upon Merger or Additional Termination Event occur.
