No change in the {{{{{1}}}|Early Termination Date}} definition from 1992 ISDA to 2002 ISDA (no real surprise there) but the close-out methodology between the two versions, by which one works out what must be paid and by whom on an {{{{{1}}}|Early Termination Date}}, and which you are encouraged to follow in all its gory detail starting at Section {{{{{1}}}|6(a)}}, is really quite different, and notwithstanding the fact that the 2002 ISDA version was meant to address the many and varied complaints levelled by market practitioners at the 1992 ISDA we still find the 1992 version in use in the occasional market centred in unsophisticated rural backwaters like, oooh, I don’t know, New York.

Those with a keen eye will notice that, but for the title, Section 6(a) of the 2002 ISDA is the same as Section 6(a) of the 1992 ISDA and, really, not a million miles away from the svelte form of Section 6(a) in the 1987 ISDA — look on that as the Broadcaster to the 1992’s Telecaster. There is one key difference, though: the evolution of the {{{{{1}}}|Automatic Early Termination}} provision.

It has its own entire page — {{{{{1}}}|Automatic Early Termination}} — so we have refrained from discussing it here.
