Compare and contrast {{eqderivprov|Loss of Stock Borrow}} with {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}}. There is a logical hand-off and interaction between the two:
*If the cost of a stock borrow exceeds the {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} it is deemed to be (as good as) impossible to borrow stock, so it is treated as a {{eqderivprov|Loss of Stock Borrow}}, not merely an {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}}. If a counterparty wants to apply Increased Cost of Stock Borrow whatever the cost of an available bid, the answer is to disapply {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} altogether. This means that ''any'' possible stock borrow rate, however astronomical, comes under {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}}, and {{eqderivprov|Loss of Stock Borrow}} (which is slightly more onerous a termination right) only applies where there are no offers in the market at all.

*If a counterparty wants to apply {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}} ''whatever the cost of an available bid'' — and given that it can pass the cost on, a [[Synthetic prime brokerage - PB Provision|synthetic prime broker]] might be happy to do this — the answer is to disapply {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} altogether.
