Should a client request a {{isdaprov|transaction}}-specific parental {{isdaprov|guarantee}} under an {{isdama}} instead of the usual “all obligations” guarantee of all obligations under the {{isdama}} and all transactions under it, escalate immediately.  
Should a client request a {{isdaprov|transaction}}-specific parental {{isdaprov|guarantee}} (or [[letter of credit]]) for a {{isdaprov|Transaction}} under an {{isdama}} instead of the usual [[all obligations guarantee|“all obligations” guarantee]] of all the counterparty’s obligations under the {{isdama}}, hit the alarm button.  


'''Never''' agree to the {{isdaprov|guarantee}} of individual {{isdaprov|Transaction}}s (or accepting [[letter of credit|Letters of Credit]] with respect to individual transactions) under an [[ISDA]]. The reason relates to the way {{isdama}}s are closed out:
You should *never* agree to the {{isdaprov|guarantee}} of individual {{isdaprov|Transaction}}s (nor accept a [[letter of credit]] with respect to individual {{isdaprov|Transactions}}) under an {{isdama}}. If you do, because of the way {{isdama}}s are closed out under Section {{isdaprov|6(e)}} — or rather, ''aren't'' closed out, you might find that just when you want your guarantee to pay, the {{isdaprov|Transaction}} it is guaranteeing isn’t there anymore:


*On a [[Close-out Amount - ISDA Provision|close-out]] of an {{isdama}}, each transaction is terminated, the individual [[Close-out Amount - ISDA Provision|close-out amounts]] are determined, they’re aggregated up to a single net sum (i.e. negative exposures are netted off against positive ones) and the single {{isdaprov|Early Termination Payment}} is payable under {{isdaprov|6(e)}} ({{isdaprov|Payments on Early Termination}}) of the {{isdama}}.  
On a close-out, each {{isdaprov|Transaction}} is terminated, the individual close-out amounts are determined, they’re aggregated up to a single net sum (i.e. negative exposures are netted off against positive ones) and a single {{isdaprov|Close Out Amount}} is payable with respect to ''all terminated {{isdaprov|Transactions}}'' under {{isdaprov|6(e)}} ({{isdaprov|Payments on Early Termination}}) of the {{isdama}}.<ref>The {{isdama}} itself is never actually terminated, but carries impotently on in undead twilight, roaming the badlands like [[Nosferatu]] or the [[Flying Dutchman]], unloved, unredeemed, until the [[end of days]].</ref>


*That is to say, it is '''not''' payable under the {{isdaprov|Transaction}} at all - it’s payable under the {{isdama}} itself.  
That is to say, payments following termination of a Transaction are *not* payable under the {{isdaprov|Transaction}} at all - they are payable under the {{isdama}} itself. Therefore, if the [[guarantee]] relates to the single {{isdaprov|Transaction}}, at the point you wish to rely on it (i.e., upon the party’s default), it will have gone, with no payment required. Vanished, like tears in the rain. <br>
 
*Therefore, if the {{isdaprov|guarantee}} relates to the single {{isdaprov|Transaction}} only, at precisely the point you wish to rely on it (i.e., upon that party’s [[Event of Default - ISDA Provision|default]]), it will vanish.  
 
Same goes for [[Letter of credit|Letters of credit]].
