| | |
| “'''Market Quotation'''” means, with respect to one or more {{isdaprov|Terminated Transactions}} and a party making the
| |
| determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from {{isdaprov|Reference Market-maker}}s. Each
| |
| quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number)
| |
| or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking
| |
| into account any existing {{isdaprov|Credit Support Document}} with respect to the obligations of such party) and the
| |
| quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “'''Replacement Transaction'''”) that would
| |
| have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether
| |
| the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable
| |
| [[condition precedent]]) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group
| |
| of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant {{isdaprov|Early Termination Date}}, have
| |
| been required after that date. For this purpose, {{isdaprov|Unpaid Amounts}} in respect of the Terminated Transaction or
| |
| group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that
| |
| would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each
| |
| applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement
| |
| Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in
| |
| good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference
| |
| Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time
| |
| (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
| |
| Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good
| |
| faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after
| |
| consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the
| |
| arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If
| |
| exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after
| |
| disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same
| |
| highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations
| |
| are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group
| |
| of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
| |
| | |
| Ghastly piece of drafting, isn't it.

| |
| Note that there is no concept of "Market Quotation" under 2002 ISDA. Instead, the concept of {{isdaprov|Close-out Amount}} applies to the valuation of terminated transactions.

| |
| *'''Pricing methodology''': Note that this quote comprises a portfolio of transactions on identical economic terms (including collateralisation), but between the {{isdaprov|Non-affected Party}} and the relevant market maker; i.e. you don't take into account the (almost inevitable) deterioration of the creditworthiness of the {{isdaprov|Affected Party}}.
| |
| *'''Where there are fewer than three quotations''': By dint of the definition of {{isdaprov|Settlement Amount}}, if there are fewer that three quotations, or the determining party thinks the value provided by Market Quotation is commercially unrealistic, Market Quotation defaults to {{isdaprov|Loss}}.
