From the lady doth protest too much school of contractual drafting, a neat and theoretically vacuous attempt to ensure that Early Terminaiton Amounts determined under an ISDA are not seen as (unenforceable) penalty clause, but rather a liquidated damages clause — i.e., a “genuine pre-estimate of loss” caused by a breach of contract, as enunciated by Lord Dunedin in that famous contract case on penalty clauses, Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage & Motor Co Ltd.

But it either is or it isn't. As it happens, it probably is a liquidated damages clause, but the parties agreeing in a standard form that it is one doesn't really help that analysis.
