In gory detail

2002 ISDA

6(b)(i) Notice. If a Termination Event other than a Force Majeure Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction, and will also give the other party such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, each party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Force Majeure Event, and will also give the other party such other information about that Force Majeure Event as the other party may reasonably require.

(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of
it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction
and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably
require.

Analysis

Note the difficulty of practical compliance with this provision, given the size of the ISDA portfolio within BBPLC, and tghe requirement for actively monitoring not only standard Termination Events, but also Additional Termination Events, which may be counterparty or even transaction specific.
